This new and carefully edited standard work contains all records of Richard Strauss handed down from the years 1932-1949. Until shortly before his death, Strauss continuously wrote down anecdotes from musical life, but principally notes and small essays on his role as a composer and on the functionalization of his music theatre works - within music history, in the broad context of western cultural history and, not least, in political times in general.

The history of the genesis of the Requiem is entwined with legends and anecdotes. The burdens of the composition and performance of La Clemenza di Tito and Die Zauberflote, and an acute infection led to the collapse and death of the composer following a short illness. Mozart left his wife in considerable debt. Constanze therefore turned to Mozart's friends, asking them to complete the fragment. After two failed attempts, the task passed to Mozart's pupil Franz Xaver Sussmayr, who completed the Requiem in the form known today, using working materials that are no longer extant, and perhaps verbal instructions from the composer. Today the Sussmayr version is still the most well known, and it is doubtless the one with the closest historical ties to Mozart. This work is now available in carus music, the choir app! Score available separately - see item CA.5162600.
