Eduard Morike NEW RELEASE 12-inch $1.50 5113 Till Eulenspiegels lus- tige Streiche (Till Eulenspiegel’s Merry Pranks) Tone Poem by Richard Strauss Eduard Morike and the Orchestra of the State Opera House, Berlin Part I A & B 5114 Till Eulenspiegels lus- tige Streiche (Till Eulenspiegel’s Merry Pranks) Tone Poem by Richard Strauss Eduard Morike and the Orchestra of the State Opera House, Berlin Part II A & B OdanvRtcords “Till Eulenspiegels lusti&e Streiche” Till Eulenspiegel is a half-mythical, mis- chief loving, vagabond, the hero of a story book, in the fourteenth century. His rollicking adventures are household words in Germany. He masqueraded as charlatan, physician, priest, romantic lover, fool, valet, artist and jack-of-all-trades, always in the spirit of the roughest humor. His outrageous behavior finally leads to his arrest and he is hanged. Cast in the elusive “rondo” form, this marvelous “tone poem” follows realistically the hero’s exploits. A consummate master of the orchestra and all its resources, Strauss has employed every means known to music to faithfully describe Till’s preposterous ad- ventures. Never before have such comic, malicious, odd and amusing tricks been mir- rored in an orchestra. After a few bars of introduction, of a broad and beautiful char- acter, which says plainly enough: “Once upon a time there lived a happy rogue”, we hear Till’s characteristic theme—, a little musical figure suggesting a cock-crow, which in manifold disguises, moods and situations pervades the entire score. An effective varia- tion will be heard midway of part 2. One of the most entertaining of Strauss’ tone poems, it is a marvel of ingenuity, and will fully repay any amount of study. 1 OKEH PHONOGRAPH CORPORATION Otto Heineman, President and General Manager 25 WEST 45th STREET NEW YORK CITY 1
