Strauss’ “Till Eulenspiegels lustige Streiche,” Op. 28 | Pre-College Orchestra
Preparatory • 19-Nov-2022
Adam Glaser conducts the Juilliard Pre-College Orchestra in performing “Till Eulenspiegels lustige Streiche” (Till Eulenspiegel’s Merry Pranks). This 1895 tone poem by Richard Strauss tells the story of German folk hero Till Eulenspiegel, a trickster whose antics lead to his eventual demise. When compared with Strauss’ other tone poems and operas, a puerile prankster seems like a rather surface-level subject for a piece. But Strauss claimed that he “only wanted to give the people in the concert hall a good laugh for once.” Strauss’ intent to bring humor to the concert hall pervades this lighthearted yet mischievous score.
