Richard Strauss and His World by Bryan Gilliam
Influencing musical life from the 1880s through the First World War and remaining productive into the 1940s, Richard Strauss enjoyed a remarkable career in a constantly changing artistic and political climate. This volume presents essays on Strauss' musical works and brings together letters and memoirs from various periods of the composer's life.
"This book of essays, letters, memoirs, and criticism is a most cordial study of Strauss and his music.. This is a significant book that gives readers a very positive assessment of a very important 20th-century composer."--Choice
