		Till Eulenspiegel is a familiar figure in German folklore, a prankster who lived in the 14th century and who became the hero of a Volksbuch, a sort of popular novel widely disseminated in the 16th century.
		Unlike the historic Till who died in bed as a victim of an epidemic, Strauss's hero is put to death for his pranks.
		Till is hanged and his last breath is marked by a final D-clarinet solo followed by a loud trill on the flute.

	Till Eulenspiegel Was Here
		He is none other than Till Eulenspiegel, often regarded as "Germany's, if not much of the world's, jester par excellence for the past five hundred years."(1) His tales are an interesting literary, sociological, and even psychological glimpse into a pre-national, medieval Germany on the verge of the Renaissance and the midst of the reformation.
		Eulenspiegel believed that people, for all their achievements and intellect, were no better than the animals, and he delighted in showing people their folly.
		Though Eulenspiegel is said to have traveled widely and as far as Poland and Denmark, it is suspected that this declaration of running "around through every country"(1) is mostly a literary device and not intended literally, perhaps intended to enhance the humanistic, broad-perspective atmosphere of the book.

	Strauss Till
		Till Eulenspiegel was historically the son of a German peasant in the fourteenth century and his life illustrates a growing awareness of the rights of the "lower" classes against the rulers and tyrants of the period.
		Till Eulenspiegel was, without doubt, a seminal work for the composer, audiences and orchestral players.
		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.

	Eulenspiegel
		Webster's Deluxe Unabridged Dictionary identifies Till Eulenspiegel as a 14th Century Brunswick peasant whose pranks and drollness were the subject of widespread tales and the inspiration for a tone-poem by Richard Strauss.
		Eulenspiegel is thought by many to be a real person, born in Saxony, who traveled extensively in Germany, as well as Poland, Denmark and Italy, before dying of the Black Plague in 1350 in Mölln.
		But Eulenspiegel was able to victimize anyone, innocent or deserving, and was always happy to use his pranks to gain personal benefit.

	Program Notes Title
		A typical tale: informed by an innkeeper that guests eat at the gentlemen's table for twenty four pennies, the destitute Eulenspiegel eats his fill and then demands to be paid the pennies for which he's chosen to eat at that table.
		The name "Eulenspiegel" literally means "owl mirror," and may refer to the proverb: "Man sees his own faults as little as a monkey or an owl recognizes his ugliness in looking into a mirror." Till is a comic anti-hero, holding up the mirror to man's foolishness.
		But Till Eulenspiegel is also part of a larger group of works, a remarkable set of tone poems Strauss composed in the late 1880s and 90s.

		Till goes on to mock some pompous pedagogues, portrayed – in the orchestral version – by four mocking bassoons and a bass clarinet.
		Till is now in full tilt, but the madcap, unspecified frenzy comes to an end when he is arrested and hauled before a court whose questions are represented by four pompous blasts.

		Till is finally caught and hanged, no doubt for his constant defiance of authority.
		But there is one prank left in his arsenal: Till refuses to rest in his grave, his ghost rising to thumb its nose (as stand-in for the composer?) at convention: his spirit lives on, eternally.

	Till Eulenspiegel's Merry Pranks, Op. 28
		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.
		For Till Eulenspiegel, which is both the shortest work in the series and the most ingratiating (though its early audiences didn't always find it so), Strauss chose the appropriately good-natured form of the rondo and labeled the piece as such, adding, on the title page, âin the old-style roguish manner.â
		Till was real enough to have a statue erected in his memory in the town of Mölln, where according to legend he died in 1350 or thereabouts and was given a gravestone that bore no written name, but only the chiseled image of an owl with a looking glass.

		While today dirty tricks, pranks, and practical jokes are the stuff of politics, in the German High Middle Ages and Renaissance, they were the stuff of folklore and literature.
		And the name most associated with these and other forms of bedevilment was Till Eulenspiegel, a supposedly "historical personage" said to have died in 1350, whose reputation survived him for nearly 250 years as he became a staple of popular literature in the form of Volksbucher and Schwankbucher (jest books).

		Richard Strauss replied: "It is impossible for me to write an explanation for Till Eulenspiegel; if it would be put into words, what I was actually thinking about in each of the parts, one would find it often far too peculiar, possibly even be offensive.
		A last jolt, and Till is hanged, while a trill of the flute shows in a unmistakable manner how he runs out of breath.

		The adventures (misadventures?) of Till Eulenspiegel first appeared in a Fifteenth Century book, and have since entered the realm of German folklore.
		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.
		Although Strauss said Till Eulenspiegel is in rondo form, you might have trouble discerning it because the music is virtually devoid of literal repeats.

		The spot-lighting of the woodwind may initially be distracting, but it is worth persevering for the famous horn solo — listen how the player seems to ‘squeeze’ the appoggiaturas out of his instrument.
		Till all the confident swagger of an inebriated Cockney — there is no doubt that we are in the presence of a Germanic wide-boy here.

		But through it all, Till remains unconcerned until his sentencing of "Guil-ty!" but his high spirit seems to live on after his execution.
