Description
The young Richard Strauss was almost exclusively an orchestral composer. Richard Strauss’s Orchestral Music and the German Intellectual Tradition breaks new ground in Straussian studies. The composer’s works have traditionally been viewed as a product of high German Romanticism, yet Youmans demonstrates that Strauss’s entire body of orchestral music can be read as a history of his struggle with specific intellectual-historical concerns.
