by redmayorin Alemania, S, Strauss, Richard

Cuatro ltimas canciones

Al momento de escribir la pera Die Liebe der Danae (El amor de Danae), Richard Strauss plane retirarse de su actividad como compositor. Aunque en esa poca, ya comenzada la Segunda Guerra Mundial, el autor se senta un tanto intil y prefiri ponerse a trabajar en su pera Capriccio, estrenada el 28 de octubre de 1942 con la pera Estatal de Baviera. Strauss nunca cumpli cabalmente su decisin del retiro -afortunadamente- pues en los aos siguientes su creatividad tuvo un fuerte impulso que lo llev a producir obras geniales como su Concierto para oboe (que le fue sugerido por el entonces joven obosta estadounidense John De Lancie cuando era soldado al servicio de su patria) y sus Metamorfosis, obra cruda y tremenda que refleja la desolacin del compositor al ver a su adorada Alemania prcticamente destruida como consecuencia de la guerra y en especial al encontrar el Teatro de la pera de Munich en ruinas (dicen por ah, que ese fue el momento cuando Strauss se retract de sus preferencias pro-nazi).

Pero el final todava no llegaba para este hombre, quien le coment a su amigo y colega el director de orquesta Clemens Krauss que la prxima vez que escriba msica ser para arpas, como queriendo dejar su ltima chispa de genialidad para ser interpretada por alguna orquesta de ngeles en el cielo. De hecho, a eso lo denomin como su testamento musical, su ltimo deseo artstico. Al terminar la Segunda Guerra Mundial, Strauss y su esposa Pauline De Ahna, soprano retirada que estuvo casada con Strauss hasta el final de su vida, pasaron una buena temporada en Suiza donde -a finales de 1946- el compositor ley un poema de Josef von Eichendorff (Al crepsculo), que apelaba a sus sentimientos en aquel momento, por lo que comenz a ponerle msica pensando nuevamente en la voz de soprano. No nos sorprende que Strauss haya escogido esta tesitura, pues en muchas de sus obras la llev a un plano genial, como homenaje a la compaera de su vida.

Al crepsculo es, curiosamente, la primera de sus Cuatro ltimas canciones que

compuso Strauss y fue terminada en Montreux el 6 de mayo de 1948, aunque al fallecer el autor Ernst Roth (editor londinense) acept que por su carcter deba ser considerada como la ltima del ciclo (y qu razn tena). Al momento de terminar Al crepsculo, Strauss tena como lectura los poemas completos de Hermann Hesse, escogiendo algunos para ponerles msica. Comenz con

Primavera, fechada el 18 de julio de 1948 en Pontresina; luego termin Hora de

dormir el 4 de agosto; y la ltima de todas, Septiembre, la concluy el 20 de

septiembre; despus de esa cancin Strauss nunca volvi a escribir una nota musical en este mundo. Lo que hay que decir es que en estas canciones prevalece un ambiente sombro, nostlgico, muy cercano a lo que podra ser una despedida musical. Este es el adis de un hombre que vivi entre triunfos artsticos y tragedias personales, y que estaba seguro que dejara pronto este mundo sin decepciones ni reproches; al contrario, lo hara con la tranquilidad de que alcanzara la vida eterna. As, en la ltima cancin del ciclo, al exponer la frase ist dies etwa der Tod? (Acaso es sta la muerte?) Strauss contesta musicalmente con una llamada de corno francs, el tema de la transfiguracin que utiliz en su poema sinfnico Muerte y transfiguracin sesenta aos antes, como una transformacin del alma mortal accediendo a un plano de pensamiento distinto y elevado; pero aqu se convirti en el ltimo vistazo que el hombre de edad avanzada echa a su juventud y reflexiona en el presente al tiempo que eleva su mirada al cielo nocturno cuajado de estrellas, donde probablemente descansar eternamente. Slo pasaron unos meses despus de concluir estas canciones para que Richard Strauss cerrara sus ojos para siempre; nunca tuvo la oportunidad de escuchar estas canciones en vida. La soprano Kirsten Flagstad y la Filarmona de Londres dirigida por Wilhelm Furtwngler ofrecieron la primera presentacin de las Cuatro ltimas canciones el 22 de mayo de 1950, como homenaje pstumo a tan clebre y controvertido msico. Para nosotros, escuchar estas canciones debe significar el sorprendernos y nunca dejar de alabar el ltimo aliento musical de Strauss, como tambin debe ocurrirnos con la audicin de obras como El arte de la fuga de Johann Sebastian Bach, la Novena

sinfona de Bruckner, la Novena sinfona y el Adagio de la Dcima sinfona de Mahler y la Novena sinfona de Vaughan Williams, por nombrar las ms
conmovedoras. Y al entrar en contacto tan directo con estas msicas llenas de esa visin ante lo inevitable, aquello para lo que nos preparamos diariamente, tambin debemos pensar que todos los ciclos en la vida concluyen, que hay que disfrutar el momento en que se desarrollen, pues -buenos o malos- los tiempos pasan y nunca regresan. As es la vida, as es tambin la msica: como una aurora boreal, como el hermoso cometa que pasa, como el primer aliento de un beb y la sonrisa de nuestros padres, como la fuerza del mar y los aromas del viento. Como todo eso y ms, as es la msica y nunca debemos dejarla pasar por nuestra existencia como un evento irrelevante. As debera ser, tambin, la vida

PRIMAVERA (texto de Hermann Hesse)

En oscuras cavernas so largo tiempo con tus rboles y tus azules brisas, con tu fragancia y el canto de las aves. Y ahora te presentas esplndida y adornada inundada de luz, como un milagro ante mi. Me reconoces, delicadamente me atraes. Tu exquisita presencia hace vibrar todo mi ser.

SEPTIEMBRE (texto de Hermann Hesse)

El jardn est de luto, la lluvia cae en gotas fras sobre las flores. Acercndose a su fin, el verano se estremece en silencio. De lo alto de la acacia, escurre oro, hoja a hoja, el verano sonre sorprendido y exhausto en el sueo moribundo de su jardn.

An, las rosas buscan el reposo. Cierra lentamente sus grandes ojos.

HORA DE DORMIR (texto de Hermann Hesse)

Ahora que el da me ha rendido, mi ferviente deseo es acoger la noche estrellada, como un nio cansado. Manos, dejen lo que estn haciendo; frente, olvida tus pensamientos. Ahora todos mis sentidos se hundirn en el sueo profundo. Y el alma, alzar su vuelo libre, mientras en el crculo mgico de la noche vive profundamente.

AL CREPSCULO (texto de Josef von Eichendorff)

En nuestra pena y alegra caminamos mano a mano; ambos descansamos ahora de nuestro peregrinar, en la campia silenciosa. A nuestro alrededor los valles se inclinan; casi el aire se vuelve oscuro.

Dos alondras se elevan solitarias, casi soando en la brisa perfumada. Acrcate, y permite que extiendan sus alas; pronto ser hora de dormir. Ven, que no nos perderemos en esta soledad. Oh, paz, inmensa y serena, tan profunda en el ocaso. Qu cansados estamos de errar!! Acaso es sta la muerte?

RICHARD STRAUSS (1864-1949)

by redmayorin Alemania, S, Strauss, Richard

Don Juan. Poema sinfnico Op. 20

Richard Strauss (1904)

Resulta sorprendente cmo los grandes artistas de todas las pocas han sido convocados a crear una o varias obras artsticas a partir de un sentimiento bsico, necesario, irrepetible e insustituible como lo es el amor. Y ms sorprendente an es la fulgurante pasin que encontramos en aquellas obras, fruto de la enorme ilusin que llev a sus autores a reaccionar ante ese cosquilleo interno que nos indica que estamos enamorados de alguien. En el arte de los sonidos han habido grandes demostraciones de afecto de los ms diversos compositores. La Sinfona fantstica de Berlioz, la

Quinta sinfona de Mahler, el Concierto para violn de Elgar, el Idilio de Sigfrido

de Wagner, entre infinidad de partituras con ese mensaje amoroso secreto que resplandece ante los odos de cualquiera. En el caso de Richard Strauss, Cupido flech a este alemn en el verano de 1887, poca en la que conoci a Gustav Mahler y tambin a una joven soprano llamada Pauline de Ahna, descendiente de un hombre adorador de la msica de Wagner. Strauss estaba obsesionado con la cantante, lo cual los llev a colaborar en varias producciones opersticas en tiempos en que el compositor se desempeaba como director asistente de la pera de Weimar. As, la insistencia tuvo sus frutos y la feliz pareja contrajo nupcias en el ao 1894. Como consecuencia del primer impacto que de Ahna provoc, Strauss recurri a un poema fragmentario de Nicolaus Lenau que resulta ser un estudio del carcter del ms insaciable de todos los amantes de la historia: Don Juan. As, Strauss puso manos en la partitura que vendra a ser uno de sus primeros xitos ante el pblico europeo; para describir cada uno de los pasajes y sentimientos que expone Lenau en su texto, Strauss se decidi por la forma del poema sinfnico, que aos antes acu con genialidad el hngaro Franz Liszt. El estreno de Don Juan tuvo lugar, bajo la batuta de Strauss, el 11 de noviembre de 1889 en Weimar, y que segn comentan por ah requiri de una buena cantidad de ensayos dadas las dificultades orquestales que planteaba la partitura. Aunque este poema sinfnico resulta ser msica altamente descriptiva y que se antoja para diseccionar casi comps por comps, Richard Strauss siempre se neg a que se analizara su obra en los programas de mano, y como no deseo bailar sobre la tumba de uno de mis autores predilectos, prefiero seguir sus rdenes a pie juntillas y reproducir el poema de Lenau como gua para el oyente, esperando siga el ejercicio de ir leyendo poco a poco el texto mientras la orquesta la interpreta, sin temor a perderse, pues las letras lo llevarn directamente a los sonidos y viceversa:

La familia Strauss: Richard, Pauline y su hijo Franz (1910) Ese crculo mgico, inconmensurablemente amplio, de la bella femineidad con sus mltiples atractivos, deseo atravesarlo en una tempestad de placer, y morir de un beso en los labios de la ltima mujer. Amigo mo, deseo volar a todo lugar donde florezca una hermosa mujer, arrodillarme ante cada una de ellas y conquistarlas, aunque sea por un breve instante esquivo la saciedad y el aburrimiento del placer y me conservo fresco al servicio de las bellas; al herir a la mujer individual, adoro a toda la especie. El aliento de una mujer es para m la fragancia de la primavera hoy, que oprime maana como el aire de un calabozo. Cuando vago con mis mudables afectos por el amplio crculo de las mujeres hermosas, mi amor por cada una es diferente; no deseo construir templos con ruinas. S! La pasin debe ser nueva cada vez; no puede ser transferida de una mujer a la siguiente, slo puede morir en un lugar y surgir nuevamente en otro; y si se reconoce a s misma, no sabe el arrepentimiento. As como cada bella es nica en el mundo, as es el amor al que da placer. Fuera, pues, y a la bsqueda de siempre nuevas victorias mientras que los fieros ardores de la juventud se remonten todava! Era una bella tormenta la que me llevaba; ahora ha amainado y ha dejado la calma. Todos mis deseos y esperanzas estn en estado catalptico; tal vez un rayo, desde las alturas que

he menospreciado, golpe mortalmente mis facultades amorosas, y sbitamente mi mundo qued desierto y rodeado de tinieblas. Y con todo, o tal vez no -el combustible se ha consumido y el corazn se ha vuelto fro y oscuro. [Nicolaus Lenau]

Richard Strauss (1864 1949)

One of the most important composers of the 19th and 20th centuries, he was considered ahead of his time, only then (around the middle of his long life) to fall behind the times. Strauss was unquestionably a great force in the musical Modern as well as a glorious summation of late-romanticism.

From prodigy to mature master

He was a musicians son and a prodigy who surpassed all expectations. As a conductor in Munich, Meiningen andWeimar he perfected his craft (he was regarded as one of the leading conductors of his time) and honed the skills which would prepare him for later positions as the artistic director at the Berlin Court Opera (1898 1918) and the Vienna State Opera (1919 1924). His works

These include the symphonic poems Tod und Verklrung, Till Eulenspiegel and Also sprach Zarathustra, which brought him lasting fame before the turn of the century. From the first childlike attempts (Weihnachtslied, 1870) into old age (Four Last Songs, 1948), Strauss devoted himself to song composition. He was to become the unsurpassed master of the genre.

Opera and politics

Following the revolutionary drama Salome (text by Oscar Wilde), the collaboration with Hugo von Hofmannsthal put his operatic output on a new footing. Today collaborative stage works such as Elektra, Der Rosenkavalier, Ariadne auf Naxos or Die Frau ohne Schatten are essential features of the operatic repertoire. In 1933 the Nazi regime appointed Strauss, Germanys leading musician, as President of the Reichsmusikkammer (Reich Chamber of Musicians). Politically naive, Strauss accepted, but by 1935 he had fallen out of favour and resigned. Family reasons (his son Franz had been married to a Jew since 1924) and the financial necessity of having his works performed in Germany prevented him from breaking with the Nazi regime. Life in art This musical giant left behind some 300 sketches along with completed works in all genres, 86 of them with opus numbers. But he left hardly any theoretical or autobiographical writings. Richard Strauss expressed his life and thoughts through art: his grand ambitions and adversaries in the tone poem Ein Heldenleben, an occasionally turbulent family life with his beloved wife Pauline (a celebrated singer in her time) in the Symphonia Domestica and the opera Intermezzo, or his love for the mountainous near his hoSalome (text by

Life in art

This musical giant left behind some 300 sketches along with completed works in all genres, 86 of them with opus numbers. But he left hardly any theoretical or autobiographical writings. Richard Strauss expressed his life and thoughts through art: his grand ambitions and adversaries in the tone poem Ein Heldenleben, an occasionally turbulent family life with his beloved wife Pauline (a celebrated singer in her time) in the Symphonia Domestica and the opera Intermezzo, or his love for the mountainous near his home in Garmisch in his last tone poem Alpensymphonie.

Music was the central focus of his life. But how did the private Richard Strauss live? How did the artist cope with daily routine, how did he relax and where did he get his energy from? How did he live from day to day? What

importance did he give to reading, education, social contact? The answers to these questions and more can be found on this page.

Casual adjustment at the rostrum. The parental Home

The horn player Franz Joseph Strauss (1822 1905) was already 42 years old when his second wife (the first had been carried off by cholera) bore him a son, Richard. "He was a so-called character. So begins the "Memories of my Father by Richard Strauss. The sons gratitude for the education and encouragement his father offered him is mixed with gentle criticism of the fathers authoritarian manner. "A difficult childhood had made my father bitter. [] At home he was violent, irascible and tyrannical. It needed my sweet mothers entire gentleness and goodness to maintain a harmonious relationship between my parents even though their marriage was always born by genuine love and respect. The later nervous disorder of Josepha (ne Pschorr, 1838 1910), Richards sensitive mother, was, at least, nourished by the patriarchal family situation: "To what extent, however, my mothers very sensitive nerves really suffered, I can no longer decide. Both parents bequeathed the boy positive qualities: thrift and level headedness from his father, sensibility and a "poetic bent from his mother.

Richards mother helped write down the text of the first compositional attempts while his father involved him in chamber music and performed the early works of the thirteen-year old with the orchestral society Wilde Gungl. Thanks to his father and from a certain point against his father Richard Strauss very quickly developed into an outstanding, independent musician. And although Franz did not appreciate his sons interest in Wagner and Liszt, he remained an untiring source of advice. Countless letters to and from Richards parents testify to the closeness of their relationship and the correspondence covers almost everything: the young mans travel impressions, health concerns, his initially sweeping conducting style against which his father advised and the bold talent of the emerging composer that Strauss senior always sought to control in the spirit of the Viennese classics. Franz Joseph Strauss died seven months before the first performance of his sons opera Salome and never witnessed the "opera revolution the work sparked.

Father Strauss also recommended friendly diplomacy toward Pauline de Ahna: Miss de Ahna seems a somewhat exalted lady but an educated man can sometimes turn a blind eye without conceding anything. Richards mother was also optimistic when Richard and Pauline exchanged their vows, because her lighthearted, clever nature will always cheer you up and she knows how to look after you so lovingly.

Pauline and Franz

As an artist the thirty-year old Richard Strauss was viewed as an enfant terrible but in his private life he longed for a bourgeois existence. The wife he chose to realise this existence guaranteed a regulated but far from peaceful daily routine. Pauline de Ahna, born in Ingolstadt on 4 February 1863 (for reasons of professional advancement she passed herself off as eleven years younger), was the daughter of a general. She was not only a promising singer but also of fiery temperament. As Strauss proposed to her in the middle of the turbulent rehearsals for Guntram in 1894, the young woman was aware of what she would have to give up for the emerging conductor and warned him: "You, yourself know best how many weaknesses I have, your parents and Hanna also know my moods; oh well, and now I am supposed to suddenly become the model housewife. She did become the perfect housewife but Pauline never gave up her moods in the slightest. The couple were married on 10 September 1894 and they spent their honeymoon in Venice.

A son was born on 12 April 1897. The birth put Pauline in mortal danger. Richard Strauss, in Stuttgart on a concert tour, learned of the happy outcome by telegram. A "huge baby, he was named Franz (after his grandfather) Alexander (after the late friend Ritter), but throughout his life was called Bubi. In 1906 Pauline ended her professional artistic career as a worldwide renowned lieder singer. It had united her with her husband and it is with a touch of bitter irony that Richard Strauss writes: It is a pity that she turned prematurely to the beautiful calling of an exemplary housewife and mother. From now on the family, Bauxerl and Bubi, was to be an indispensable support in the busy working life of the conductor and composer.

The anecdotes about Paulines forked tongue, her temperamental outbreaks and extravagances are legendary. Alma Mahler recalled (not entirely credibly) in her memoirs the "rage of the other composers wife and Strauss comments about it, "My wife is often extremely harsh, but, you know, I need that. Yet, the works Strauss devoted to his family life deserve as much attention as the gossip of contemporaries. Ein Heldenleben contains a glowing tribute to his "companion, the Symphonia domestica portrays daily worries, a domestic argument and a sensual reconciliation in the Strauss household while the opera Intermezzo was inspired by an episode of unfounded jealousy on the part of Pauline. The numerous songs Strauss conceived for the voice of his wife should also be mentioned as must the role of the Frberin in Die Frau ohne Schatten which Hofmannsthal modelled on the moody wife of the composer. Pauline was deeply devoted to her Richard and his art. She accompanied him to his final resting place in the Munich East Cemetery on 12 September 1949. The Rosenkavalier trio was sung and, "at the climax her arms reached out

ecstatically, her hands locked and grasping wildly in the air, as if with her summoned power she wanted to hold something back that was disappearing (Alois Melichar). Pauline died only a few months later on 13 May 1950. Son and Grandson

As an only child, Franz Strauss (born in 1897) was especially attached to his parents. This was heightened by his sickliness during his first years. The Strauss biographer Kurt Wilhelm, who knew Franz personally, described him as, a peaceful, calm, good-natured person, sensitive and vulnerable, with an intuitive feel for people, who would certainly have made more of his life had the dominating love of his parents not been stronger than his will.

Bubi accompanied his father on his travels, helped with contracts and, with a heavy heart, abstained from studying medicine. Instead, he studied law and wrote his dissertation on the Association of German Composers, an organisation always close to his fathers heart. At the age of eighteen he volunteered for military service in 1915, but was rejected to his parents great relief on health grounds.

In 1923 Franz Strauss became engaged to Alice von Grab-Hermannswrth. The two families had met in 1907 at a performance of Salome in Prague, where the Jewish industrialist Emanuel von Grab owned textile factories. The wedding took place in Vienna in January 1924. Richard Strauss composed the Hochzeitsprludium for two harmony instruments, for which he used motives from Domestica, Guntram and Rosenkavalier. With Alice, his modest but highly intelligent daughter-in-law the "family business was enriched not only by a beloved person but also by a valuable staff member. In no time at all she made herself indispensable as secretary to Richard Strauss. Her father-in-law once said to her, "You know, Alice, we two are the only ones in the house who do any work. She was particularly useful during the difficult war years rescuing the archive and numerous items of value from the threat of confiscation or destruction, and moved them from Vienna to Garmisch. She looked after the priceless estate after the masters passing until her own death in 1991.

In 1927 Franz and Alices first son Richard (Max Emanuel Hermann) was born in Vienna, where they lived in a villa in Jaquingasse. And in 1932 the second grandson of the composer, (Franz Adolf) Christian was born.

During the Nazi era Richard Strauss protected his sons Jewish relatives as best as he could and enabled his grandchildren to attend school in Vienna. His grandchildrens education was one of his main concerns. Close to the end of the war he wrote copies of some of his scores for the boys as "Christmas presents of value.

While Christian, his younger grandson, became a doctor, Richard, an opera director, devoted himself to the preservation and management of his grandfathers work. His second wife was Hans Hotters daughter, Gabriele. She not only brought a "genetic love and knowledge of Richard Strauss work, but, as a librarian, made a valuable contribution to the recording and publication of the archives as well. From Richard I to Richard III

Lohengrin is a sweetish inanity the horn parts in DieMeistersinger are actually parts for the clarinet Franz Joseph Strauss, Richards father and first hornist of the Munich Court Orchestra, scarcely missed an opportunity to inveigh against Richard Wagners music. His artistic creed centred on the trinity of Mozart (above all), Haydn and Beethoven. On the day after Wagners death he was the only member of the orchestra who refused to rise in commemoration of the deceased.

It is all the more surprising how soon Richard Strauss shook off the hatred of Wagner he had inherited from his father. Statements like the following one, after a performance of Siegfried, were rapidly to become a thing of the past: The introductory passage is a long-drawn-out drum-roll with the bass tuba and bassoons roaring out deep notes so stupidly that I couldnt help laughing not a trace of coherent melody and again the initial roar utter chaos, I would say.

Strauss eagerly imbibed the poison, as his father used to call it, clandestinely at first in order to avoid scandal in the family, then quite openly, particularly when voicing his enthusiasm about Tristan, the most splendorous belcanto opera (Strauss in 1886 after a rehearsal in Bologna). As early as 1882, his father most reluctantly decided to reward Richard for having successfully completed grammar school by taking him along to Bayreuth for a performance of Parsifal. When he encountered Maestro Wagner in person, however, Richard simply dared not address him a missed opportunity. Strauss early compositions clearly show how much he was already under Wagners spell. His actual involvement with Bayreuth, however, only came about at a later date: Hans von Blow, a disciple of Liszts and

Cosima Wagners first husband, mediated Strauss appointment as musical director at Meiningen. Blows later dictum, Wagner is Richard I, there is no Richard II, so Strauss is Richard III, was soon to become legend.

Strauss began to study Wagner even more intensely when he met Alexander Ritter in Meiningen in 1885. Ritter, first violinist at Meiningen and married to one of Wagners nieces, was a member of the Neudeutsche Schule around Wagner and Liszt. He acquainted Strauss with the writings of Wagner and Schopenhauer and dispelled the last misgivings that Strauss still had about Liszt: New ideas have to find new forms of expression this basic principle underlying Liszts symphonic works, in which the poetic idea was in actual fact the formative element, then became the guiding principle I followed in my symphonic endeavours.

It was his friendship with Ritter that also spurred Strauss much to the gratification of opera lovers to devote himself to musical theatre: Guntram, a mediaeval story of chivalry, set to music to Strauss own libretto. The Conquest of Bayreuth

On the recommendation of Wagner enthusiasts amongst his friends Alexander Ritter, Hans von Blow - Strauss was appointed Music Assistant in Bayreuth in 1889, even before he got his position in Weimar. He acted as rptiteur for the production of Parsifal, played a certain role in society and began to appreciate the Bayreuth atmosphere: I should like to present a hectolitre of beer to the spa orchestra, how much do you think will that cost? Could you perhaps see to it, Dad? Actually Uncle George might easily treat them to a barrel, or at least let us have it at half the price.

Shortly thereafter Strauss, then Second Kapellmeister at Weimar, conducted his first Wagner opera, and his promise to Wagners widow, Cosima, to promote Wagner and Liszt, resulted in an intensive exchange of letters between them: Cosima wrote, I do appreciate your taking your promise so seriously - at a time when the big theatres deplore the disgraceful state of our art, it is moving and gratifying to see that the spirit that has made us Germans great is still cherished by the smaller stages. Their acquaintance soon turned into genuine friendship: in 1890, Strauss was invited by the Wagner family for Christmas, and Cosima jokingly announced that she would love her daughter Eva to become Strauss wife. She might well have liked the idea of having both a son and a son-in-law devoted to Bayreuth, but Strauss had already fallen in love with the soprano Pauline de Ahna, who was also

highly esteemed in Bayreuth. Cosima took the slight disappointment in her stride, and both Eva and Cosimas eldest daughter from her marriage with Blow, Daniela von Blow-Thode, became Strauss life-long friends. Cosima's son, the composer Siegfried Wagner, benefited from his contacts with the older colleague. Firmly and safely settled in our art like none beside him, is how Cosima described her Strusschen, the form of endearment she was wont to use when speaking of Richard. Reconcilement with his father followed in due course, and by 1891 the two were seen going for walks arm in arm.

Numerous letters were exchanged and finally, in 1894, Richard was entrusted with conducting the Bayreuth performances of Tannhuser, as he had keenly wished for a long time. Pauline de Ahna, who became Richards wife in September, was again cast in the part of Elisabeth. However, when Strauss felt that no heed was paid to his wishes concerning performances and cast, the tone of his correspondence with Cosima began to change. It was in particular the disparagement of his Salome by the Wagner family (whose antiSemitism was clearly betrayed by references to that Jewish girl) that resulted in a rift between Strauss and Cosima. Strauss was to return to Bayreuth only after a long interval one of 39 years. Wagner: A life-long love

Was it merely a coincidence that Strauss had a splendid villa built at Garmisch, somewhat on the lines of "Wahnfried", and that he became the cofounder of his own festival in Salzburg in 1920? Even though Strauss turned his back on Bayreuth in 1895, Wagner continued to play a central role in his life witness, among other things, the pictures in Strauss composing studio his son Franz was so keenly interested in at the tender age of not even two years and a half: Bubi (...) watches me writing and time and again explains to me the pictures on the studio wall: Wagner, Beek-hoffen, Liszt, Bilo.

When Strauss was director of the Vienna State Opera, Verdi's and particularly Wagner's operas held pride of place in the repertoire. Later, in 1927, Strauss wrote to his librettist, Hugo von Hofmannsthal: I recently heard Wagners Meistersinger, a magnificent work, and ever since Ive wished I could follow in his footsteps unfortunately only at some distance but still write a genuinely German work, a good dramatic piece and at the same time one that truly reflects German culture.

It came as a surprise some six years later, when he was nearly 70, that Strauss resumed his cooperation with Bayreuth in 1933, a decision that was greatly resented by the general public abroad and gave rise to polemics in

the foreign press. Toscanini had announced his withdrawal from Bayreuth in order to demonstrate his protest against anti-Semitism and dictatorship - and also because he was hurt by the unfriendly reviews his Parsifal had received on account of his broad tempi. As the spectre of cancellation hung over the festival, Strauss spontaneously volunteered to step in without a fee and save the day for the new manager, Winifred Wagner. Strauss had never before conducted Parsifal and knew it only from his Bayreuth days as rptiteur. In his interpretation he tried, in line with Wagners intentions, to free the work from insincere pathos and to achieve solemnity by other means than excessively slow tempi. When Ivar Andresen gave an epically broad rendering of the Tale of Gurnemanz (Titurel, der fromme Held...), Strauss stopped him and asked(in broad dialect) Why are you singing this in such a pious manner? Youve got to tell the story like a Bavarian game keeper whos just shot a buck. It is said that his Parsifal was a full 45 minutes shorter than that of his predecessors - and met with the whole-hearted approval of the Wagner family. In fact, Winifred Wagner and her artistic director, Heinz Tietjen, congratulated Strauss on his 70th birthday on June 4, 1934: On the day which honours the seventieth recurrence of his birth we should like, in faithful friendship and deep thankfulness, to shake most warmly the hand of the man to whom Bayreuth owes a great debt of gratitude for putting his unique personality and artistic mastery at the disposal of Bayreuth during the critical days it experienced in 1933 and 1934. They added, Please accept the expression of our most heartfelt loyalty which we offer you proudly for so faithfully supporting us in our endeavours to continue the work of the other Richard on the Green Hill.
