When he was
a mere 18 years old,
Richard Strauss composed
the highly Romantic,
one-movement Serenade for
Wind Instruments, op. 7.
Extremely popular among
wind players to this day,
this work recalls in
instrumentation and
structure Mozart's
“Gran
Partita,†which
certainly served as a
model for Strauss. The
serenade was not
premiered in its Bavarian
homeland as might have
been expected, but rather
in Dresden, in 1882,
under the direction of
the then much-esteemed
conductor Franz
Wüllner, who had also
given the inaugural
performances of Richard
Wagner's Rheingold and
Die Walküre and later
premiered Strauss' tone
poems Till Eulenspiegel
and Don Quixote. So it
was a great honour for
the young Bavarian!
Editor Norbert Gertsch
presents this little
masterwork here for the
first time in Urtext
quality - in full score
and instrumental parts -
for which not just the
first edition but also
the autograph manuscript
was scrutinised
fastidiously.
