Richard Strauss

TONE POEMS:SERIES II
TILL EULENSPIEGELS LUSTIGE STREICHE
‘ALSO SPRACH ZARATHUSTRA’
EIN HELDENLEBEN in Full Score

The tone poems of Richard Strauss are among the most often performed and recorded works in the entire orchestral repertoire. This volume conveniently brings together for the first time three of these major works, reproduced from complete and authentic first editions. Never before have these important works been available in a full-sized, inexpensive edition.

Included in this volume are:

Till Eulenspiegels lustige Streiche (Till Eulenspiegel’s Merry Pranks)
Also sprach Zarathustra (Thus Spake Zarathustra)
Ein Heldenleben (A Hero’s Life)

Also included are new English translations of preamble to Also sprach Zarathustra, instrumentation, original title pages, and the composer’s musical indications in the score.

The beautifully engraved scores are printed with clarity and precision throughout. The music has been reproduced in a size large enough to be read easily, with large noteheads, wide margins (for written notes, annotations, etc.), and on opaque paper with sturdy, sewn bindings. Pages lie flat and will not fall out. The edition is practical for almost any use, whether as a study guide, a reference or an indispensable companion for your greater musical enjoyment.

Unabridged (1979) republication of works published by Jos. AibI Verlag, Munich, in 1896, and by Verlag von F. E. C. Leuckart, Leipzig, in 1899 (Ein Heldenleben). All texts, including musical indications and preamble to Also sprach Zarathustra, in new English translation by Stanley Appelbaum. iv + 3l5pp. 9 3/8 x 12 Ľ Paperbound.

We have made every effort to make this the best book possible. Our paper is opaque, with minimal show-through; it will not discolor or become brittle with age. Pages are sewn in signatures, in the method traditionally used for the best books, and will not drop out, as often happens with paperbacks held together with glue. Books open flat for easy reference. The binding will not crack or split. This is a permanent book.
