Richard Strauss in Context offers a distinctive approach to the
study of a composer in that it places the emphasis on
contextualizing topics rather than on biography and artistic
output. One might say that it inverts the relationship between
composer and context. Rather than studies of Strauss's librettists
that discuss the texts themselves and his musical settings, for
instance, this book offers essays on the writers themselves: their
biographical circumstances, styles, landmark works, and broader
positions in literary history. Likewise, Strauss's contributions to
the concert hall are positioned within the broader development of
the orchestra and trends in programmatic music. In short, readers
will benefit from an elaboration of material that is either absent
from or treated only briefly in existing publications. Through this
supplemental and broader contextual approach, this book serves as a
valuable and unique resource for students, scholars, and a general
readership.
