	Richard Strauss - LoveToKnow 1911
		STRAUSS, RICHARD (1864-),), German composer, was born at Munich on the Ilth of June 1864, the son of Franz Strauss, an eminent hornist.
		To some extent a prodigy, Strauss was something of a pianist at four, a composer at six, and at ten he was already seriously studying music under F. Meyer, the Munich Hofkapellmeister.
		But to Billow, and even more to Alexander Ritter, Strauss owed the awakening in his own mind of the interest in the modern development of music that eventually in its ripeness placed Strauss at the very top of the composers' tree of his time.

	Richard Strauss - Biography - AOL Music
		Strauss was born in Munich, the first child of the second marriage of Franz Joseph Strauss, who was regarded as the greatest French horn player in the world.
		Strauss' recording career ended with the conclusion of the Second World War--he never got to work during the long-playing or stereo eras, and the only masters that exist on many of those recordings are from less-than-ideal disc sources, but his records hold up remarkably well despite these limitations.
		After the war, Strauss spent much of the postwar period in exile in Switzerland, and was villified in various quarters for his decision to participate in the cultural life of Nazi Germany.

	O. Franz and R. Strauss on the Horn
		Oscar Franz (1843-1886--many sources give the year of his passing as 1889, which is incorrect [Damm, 5]) was one of the most prominent teachers and performers of the horn in the late nineteenth century.
		Franz expressed a more moderate opinion on transposition than Kling [see Henri Kling and the Valved Horn in the Late Nineteenth Century], but by no means did he abandon the use of crooks.
		Franz Strauss was one of the leading horn virtuosi of the nineteenth century.

	Richard Strauss
		Franz was rather more successful as a musician and the first quarter of the nineteenth century, when he was growing up, was an especially exciting time in the history of Munich's musical life.
		As far as Franz Strauss was concerned, the young king was the very embodiment of decadence, and Franz was not alone in considering Ludwig's patronage of Wagner a unique marriage of insanity and depravity.
		Franz's lack of affection for Wagner's music was as nothing when compared to his hatred for the man. Wagner violated Franz's uncompromising moral and aesthetic principles, leaving little hope of reconciliation.

		Strauss was acknowledged as one of the composers who had a great mastery of the capabilities of the instruments of the orchestra, both from expressive and technical standpoints.
		Strauss and his librettist, the conductor Clemens Krauss, changed the debate into an argument over the primacy words and music in opera, and made this potentially tedious plot dramatic by presenting a poet and a composer as rival suitors for the affections of the countess.
		Strauss later explained that he had in mind the portrayal of a man suffering on his deathbed, wracked with pain, who then is able to recall the experiences and exploits of his life before his soul leaves his body to enter eternal realms.

		Strauss Senior was decidedly unsympathetic when it came to "new" music, and no one was newer in late-19th-century Munich than Wagner.
		The beauty of Franz Strauss' horn playing certainly influenced his son's writing for winds in the Serenade, which utilizes four of his father's instrument along with double woodwinds and contrabassoon (or double bass or tuba, depending on the available resources).
		Franz' preference for the music of the classical and early Romantic eras also seems to have shaped his son's early compositional efforts to a considerable extent.

		In 1874 Strauss heard his first Wagner operas, Lohengrin, Tannhäuser and Siegfried; the influence of Wagner's music on Strauss's style was to be profound, but at first his father forbade him to study it: it was not until the age of 16 that he was able to obtain a score of Tristan und Isolde.
