Description:
German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche's best-known work, "Also sprach Zarathustra!" ("Thus Spoke Zarathustra!") has been an inspiration for many composers' works, but the best known is this 1896 symphonic tone poem by Richard Strauss (1864-1949). It premiered on November 27, 1896, in a Frankfurt performance conducted by the composer. This newly engraved edition by Clinton F. Nieweg and Stuart Serio has corrected some errors and offers additional guidance for the significant divisi in the strings. All editorial decisions are presented in a list of notes at the beginning of the score. Instrumentation: 3(3rd dPicc)+Picc.3+EH.2+BCl+Eb.3+CBsn: 6.4.3.2: Timp.Perc(4): Hp(2).Org: Str (16.16.12.12.8; 4-4.4-4.3-3.3-3.4 stands in set).
