Richard Strauss: Late Writings. Edition and Comment

在20世纪30年代和40年代，理查德·施特劳斯在16本笔记本上写满了类似回忆录的条目。这些作品包括自传笔记，以及对欧洲文化和音乐史以及事件潮流的反思；关于政治（纳粹主义，第二次世界大战）对西方文化的影响的评论可以与对战后德国和欧洲音乐未来的考虑一起找到。施特劳斯的作品不仅对他一生的音乐史和文化史提供了非凡的见解，而且还揭示了一位杰出的德国艺术家在19世纪末至20世纪中叶的哲学，智力和文化条件。此外，这些著作是施特劳斯传记研究的重要资料。这些作品将首次以批评和评论的形式出版。该版本将提供详细的索引。它将作为书籍印刷，并可添加数据介质。

During the 1930s and 1940s, Richard Strauss filled 16 notebooks with memoir-like entries. The writings include autobiographical notes as well as reflections on the European history of culture and music and on the tide of events; remarks on the impact of politics (Nazism, 2nd World War) on western culture can be found along with considerations about the future of music in post-war Germany and Europe. Strauss's writings give extraordinary insights not only into history of music and culture during his lifetime, but also reveal the philosophical, intellectual and cultural conditioning of one of the outstanding German artists in a period stretching from late 19th century until the middle of the 20th century. Moreover, the writings are essential sources for biographical research about Strauss. For the first time, the writings will be published in a critical and commented edition. The edition will be provided with detailed indexes. It will be printed as book, to which a data medium may be added.
