Featuring ten new essays on different aspects of the compositions,
artistic influences, and persona of Richard Strauss, The Strauss
Companion explores the composer's relationship to his own work and
to that of his noted contemporaries. Guided by not only musical
interests but literary, political, and philosophical ones as well,
Strauss is an ideal candidate for this sort of treatment. Following
this discussion of his influences, the volume moves to a discussion
of the works themselves, including operas, tone poems, and stage
works; these compositions are explored analytically and also in
terms of their critical reception. The final chapter investigates
for the first time Strauss's much-neglected choral works, revealing
their rich musical and vocal capacities, while a select
bibliography and complete works-list round out the volume. These
colorful and intriguing essays are written by some of the foremost
American, German, British, and Canadian Strauss scholars of our
time, making it an important resource for students not only of
Strauss's work, but of all musical composition and art music.
