| | Program Notes Title |
 | | Till Eulenspiegel continued Strauss's reputation as a musical "bad boy." A critic for Musical Record of Boston wrote in 1900: "No gentleman would have written that thing. | | | Strauss did not claim the music represented any particular chapters in the Eulenspiegel tales, though when pressed he conceded that the musical episodes include Till riding through a marketplace and upsetting the goods, then poking fun at the clergy, flirting with girls, mocking university academics, and finally being hanged for blasphemy. | | | But Till's own themes always return, the first generally sounded by brass and then taken up by full orchestra, followed by his musical nose-thumbing. |

| | Strauss Till |
| | With fresh vigour Till embarks on a further period of chaos until, heralded by a loud side-drum roll, he is called before the court to face the music. | | | Overcoming his anxieties, depicted by a headlong glissando from the top to the bottom note of a solo violin, Till is soon "The cavalier, exchanging sweet courtesies with beautiful girls". | | | This bold motif and the mocking theme given to the shrill E flat clarinet, "A rascally scamp", form the basis for all the rich musical inventiveness to follow. |

| | October 17 |
| | The Cleveland Orchestra has recorded Till Eulenspiegel seven times: in 1940 with Artur Rodzinski, in 1949, 1954, and 1957 with George Szell, in 1979 with Lorin Maazel, in 1988 with Vladimir Ashkenazy, and in 1991 with Christoph von Dohnányi. | | | The tone-poem concludes with the archaic-sounding "once-upon-a-time" melody with which it began, adding a theatrical touch to the tone poem after all. | | | The 30-year-old composer had already written the words and music to an opera, Guntram, a thoroughly Wagnerian music drama. |

| | Richard Strauss - Also Sprach Zarathustra and other Tone Poems conducted by Herbert von Karajan |
| | Moving to the other two Tone Poems in the album, "Till Eulenspiegel" is the name of a prankster who is always up to mischieve. | | | This sequence features a drum roll and funeral march as he is led to the gallows. | | | This musical joke therefore turns out to be a huge anticlimax as our expectations are led astray. |

| | Symphony Pro Musica - Program Notes - March 2003 |
| | The music begins with a gracious “once upon a time” in strings and woodwinds, which is rather peremptorily interrupted by Till’s theme in the horn. | | | A body of learned gentlemen arrive to the sound of bassoons and bass clarinet and an argument ensues with Till finally grimacing at them (long woodwind trill) then runs away to a mocking peasant motif in the clarinets and violins. | | | Soon after, he professes his love to a beautiful woman, this to a deliciously decadent variation on the Till theme in the violins – a glimpse of the kind of music Strauss would write for his most popular opera |

| | Strauss found a way to describe Till and some of the things he did with a musical form called a Tone Poem, which is music that tells a story or describes someone/something using only music (no singing allowed!). | | | Strauss came up with two very rascally themes which actually represent Till throughout the music. | | | So we'll use our imaginations here to give you ideas about what you think Till Eulenspiegel might be doing in the music! |

| | Till Eulenspiegels Lustige Streiche recounts in music the exploits of a well-known character from German folklore, an itinerant liar, imposter, practical jokester and general troublemaker. | | | The music opens with four introductory bars (“Once upon a time” Strauss wrote on the score) followed by Till’s energetic first theme on the horn (familiar to all concert goers as a warm-up for the horns). | | | Strauss originally conceived of making Till the subject of an opera, for which he himself wrote the libretto but abandoned the project before he had composed any music. |

| | The music begins with the strings' affectionate statement of a phrase that fits the words âEs war einmalâ (âOnce upon a timeâ), and then the solo horn introduces Till's odd-shaped, energetic theme and we are off and away on a chain of adventures. | | | The National Symphony Orchestra gave its first performance of the work on October 27, 1946, under Hans Kindler, and presented it most recently in a National Conducting Institute concert on June 30, 2001, with Kevin Allen Woods conducting. | | | Till Eulenspiegels lustige Streiche, composed in 1894 and '95, was given its premiere on November 5 of the latter year by the Gürzenich Orchestra of Cologne under Franz Wüllner. |

| | R. Strauss: Till Eulenspiegel - Excerpt 1 |
| | This passage shows the valve and pedal registers well and, despite the fact that it looks like an endless string of dotted quarter notes, there is a method to the madness and the passage must be played intelligently and musically. | | | Kalmus has recently come out with a new edition which corrects this error (one can only imagine the number of recordings of "Till" which have been made with this mistake). | | | Till Eulenspiegel is a romp to play, and a reward for years of practice. |

| | [Strauss, R - Till Eulenspiegels Lustige Streiche] notes by Paul Serotsky |
| | Although Strauss said Till Eulenspiegel is in rondo form, you might have trouble discerning it because the music is virtually devoid of literal repeats. | | | Certainly with this music, superlatively crafted and characterised in every respect, we stand a better than average chance of either. | | | Till Eulenspiegel, or (to translate its full title) Till Eulenspiegel's Merry Pranks, after an old rogue's tale - in rondo form - set for full orchestra, appeared in 1895, a full six years after his immensely successful first symphonic poem, Don Juan. |

| | The adventures of Till Eulenspiegel and Don Quixote clearly encourage composers of all categories to musical interpretations. | | | The contemplative epilogue, with a slight shadow, picks up the story line again and concludes, just like all of this serene music, that the immortality of the scoundrel's nature or said even easier, the grim humor, cannot be killed by an earthly jurisdiction." | | | Brass musicians will be delighted about this work, an intelligent, technically demanding, musically outstanding and quite humorous composition. |
