  Richard Strauss's Die ägyptische Helena (original version, 1928
Hofmannsthal’s decision to make actions of the original story’s phantom Helen into those of the "real" Helen changed the potential for comedy and a farcical dynamic between stage and audience into a more direct opportunity to go beyond the surface of mere romance into the complexities and contradictions of love, sexuality, and marriage.
For the turn-of-the-century generation of Strauss (1864-1949) and Hofmannsthal (1874-1929), an idealized category of the feminine from early Romanticism and the Christian conception of marriage were compromised by the work of two seminal figures whose influence cast a long and permanent shadow over European thought and culture: Richard Wagner and Sigmund Freud.
Both Hofmannsthal and Strauss were keenly aware of how difficult it was in their own age to draw upon the traditions of artistic expression founded by the late eighteenth-century and early nineteenth-century masters–Goethe and Mozart, for example.

 Jüdische Geschichte und Kultur: Hugo von Hofmannsthal
Die Musikalität der Atmosphäre, geprägt von Schubert, Lanner, Strauß und Mozart, umrahmt von der Prächtigkeit der barocken Festfreudigkeit, ist Indiz für das vehemente Festhalten an tradierten Verpflichtungen des Kulturerbes der Stadt, in welcher sich alles organisch entwickelt und in scheinbar grenzenloser Freiheit von Widersprüchen lebt und atmet.
Schnitzler sieht hierin das Ingenium Hofmannsthals, verankert in der Musikalität der Verse und der magischen Herrschaft über das Wort.

 Hugo von Hofmannsthal and the Cavalry   (Site not responding. Last check: )
This resistance is readily understandable in the light of Hofmannsthal's frantic and unbecoming efforts in July 1914 to be transferred from a garrison in Istria to a comfortable post in Vienna (Lunzer 25-30).
Hofmannsthal saw the army, therefore, in a positive light as a school of discipline, and thus of life, and the entries in his Qualifikationslisten confirm that he complied with the moral imperative of military life.
Hofmannsthal's delight in such illustrious company is evident in the jocular letter to his parents, on his arrival in the regiment, in which he records having dined "mit einem Erbprinzen, 3 gewöhnlichen Prinzen, 9 Grafen, 7 Freiherren, 16 Reichs- und sonstigen Rittern und Edlen nebst einigen wenigen bürgerlichen Canaillen" (Briefe 118).

 Hugo von Hofmannsthal - NYRB
Hugo von Hofmannsthal (1874—1929), the poet, dramatist, essayist, and librettist, was raised in Vienna.
Hofmannsthal’s youth, talent, and precociousness made a splash at Café Griensteidl, the epicenter of literary Vienna; critic Hermann Bahr, in particular, was astounded that someone using the pseudonym of a “well-groomed poodle” and with the figure of a "fine, slender pageboy" could write such brilliant poetry and prose.
Around that time, however, Hofmannsthal turned away from Symbolist poetry; his aesthetic crisis is recorded, in part, in his famous work from 1902, "A Letter" (often referred to in English as "The Lord Chandos Letter"), in which a young nobleman confronts the futility of language.

The Perils of Post-holing: Arthur Schnitzler versus Hugo von Hofmannsthal in Carl Schorske’s Fin-de-Siècle Vienna
And although Hofmannsthal is more direct about presenting in his plays examples of the kinds of political “dynamic form” that might improve his society, Schnitzler can hardly be accused of not believing that dynamic form in politics is a necessity.
While his assessment of Hofmannsthal is not incorrect, its implications for his analysis of Schnitzler are not minor: Any reader of Schorske’s text who is not familiar with Schnitzler’s writings will assume that Hofmannsthal was in some way Schnitzler’s superior, being the more modern and the more adaptable of the two writers.
