Richard Strauss, German Composer

Richard Georg Strauss (June 11, 1864 - September 8, 1949) was a German composer of the late Romantic and early modern eras and a renowned conductor. Strauss, along with Gustav Mahler, represents the late flowering of German Romanticism after Richard Wagner, in which pioneering subtleties of orchestration are combined with an advanced harmonic style. During his lifetime Strauss was considered the greatest composer of the first half of the 20th century, and his music had a profound influence on the development of 20th century music. There were few 20th century composers who compared with Strauss in terms of orchestral imagination, and he made a significant contribution to the history of post-Wagnerian opera. He died at the age of 85 in 1949. Georg Solti, who had arranged Strauss's 85th birthday celebration, also directed an orchestra during Strauss's burial. The conductor later described how, during the singing of the famous trio from Rosenkavalier, "each singer broke down in tears and dropped out of the ensemble, but they recovered themselves and we all ended together." Bain News Service, circa 1915-20.
