商品描述:
RICHARD STRAUSS was a much-celebrated German composer and conductor who is understood by many to have captured the essence of the German Period of Romanticism and his works encompass almost every type of compositional form, noting that many of his compositions became standards of the operatic and orchestral repertoire.  While being personally recognized as one of the leading conductors in Western Europe, and internationally as well, he is also known for his lieder (songs), noting also that Strauss is thought to have composed most of these songs with the voice of his wife in mind, writing them for voice and piano accompaniment.    As the story is sometimes told, it was Ludwig Thuille, also a prominent Austrian operatic composer, who introduced Strauss to the poetry of Hermann von Gilm, Austrian lawyer and poet, whose authored works caught Strauss’ attention.  Strauss’ admiration for Gilm’s work eventually brought him to compose a series of eight art songs found in Gilm’s literary collection Letzte Blätter (Last Leaves or Last Pages).   Strauss’ completed musical work, entitled Acht Lieder aus ‘Letzte Blätter,’ op. 10 (Eight Songs from Last Pages), was first published in the year 1887, with the intention that all would be written for the tenor voice, and the collection is thought to contain some of Strauss’ most appreciated and respected art songs of the period. For this arrangement, German lyrics are included to assist the performer in connecting the music to the thoughts, feelings, and specific moments expressed in the words that might otherwise be lost if not aligned with the music.  Noting that changes in mood or tone of the music are better understood when aligned with the words, and by including the lyrics, the performer can phrase a passage while having a guide to see the end of the musical line.   Romantic lieder allows for rubato in performance, as playing the piece exactly as written on the page will result in a less inspiring rendition.  To match the horn’s register with the vocal line, the piano part required alterations by moving some notation higher in the register.

理查-施特勞斯是一位備受讚譽的德國作曲家和指揮家，許多人認為他抓住了德國浪漫主義時期的精髓，他的作品幾乎涵蓋了所有類型的作曲形式，他的許多作品都成為歌劇和管弦樂曲的標準曲目。 施特勞斯個人被公認為西歐乃至國際上最傑出的指揮家之一，同時他也以創作裡德（歌曲）而聞名，人們還認為施特勞斯創作這些歌曲時大多考慮到了他妻子的聲音，並為這些歌曲創作了聲樂和鋼琴伴奏。

有一種說法認為，是奧地利著名歌劇作曲家路德維希-圖伊勒（Ludwig Thuille）向施特勞斯介紹了奧地利律師兼詩人赫爾曼-馮-吉爾姆（Hermann von Gilm）的詩歌，他的作品引起了施特勞斯的注意。 施特勞斯對吉爾姆作品的欽佩最終促使他創作了吉爾姆文學集《最後的葉子》（Letzte Blätter）中的八首藝術歌曲。

施特勞斯完成的音樂作品名為 Acht Lieder aus 'Letzte Blätter,' op. 該作品集被認為包含了施特勞斯在這一時期最受讚賞和尊敬的一些藝術歌曲。

在這一編曲中，加入了德語歌詞，以説明演奏者將音樂與歌詞中表達的思想、情感和特定時刻聯繫起來。 注意到音樂情緒或音調的變化在與歌詞保持一致的情況下會更好地理解，通過加入歌詞，演奏者可以對一段樂句進行措辭，同時有了一個指引，可以看到音樂線條的終點。

 浪漫主義敘事曲允許演奏者在演奏中使用揉弦，因為完全按照樂譜上的文字來演奏樂曲會使演奏者失去靈感。 為了使圓號的音域與聲樂線條相匹配，鋼琴部分需要做一些改動，將一些音符移到更高的音域。
