Don Juan, Op. 20, is a tone poem in E major for large orchestra written by the German composer Richard Strauss in 1888. The work is based on Don Juans Ende, a play derived from an unfinished 1844 retelling of the tale by poet Nikolaus Lenau after the Don Juan legend which originated in Renaissance -era Spain. [1]
Till Eulenspiegel, Strauss’s mischievous prankster, is a character from fourteenth century traditional German folk legends. Concerned with orchestral detail Honeck in the notes explains that in the trial scene he has heightened the pitch of the D clarinet to make it more audible.
At the end of Don Juan, the strings play sul ponticello (on the bridge of the instrument) to make Don Juan’s death even creepier and more graphic. At 12:15 in Till Eulenspiegel, Honeck moves the D-clarinet’s weird “distorted” note up an octave, so that it screeches in agony over the entire orchestra while the prankster is sentenced to death.

Die gegenseitige Bewunderung schien grenzenlos, doch eine Berliner Aufführung des Don Juan trübte das Verhältnis nachhaltig. Ein philharmonischer Moment. Keiner der großen Komponisten feierte so frühe Konzerterfolge wie Richard Strauss, keinem wurden ähnliche Lobeshymnen gesungen.
Don Juan ist eine symphonische Dichtung (Tondichtung) für großes Orchester von Richard Strauss. Sie entstand im Jahre 1888 und war die zweite Tondichtung (Op. 20) des damals 24-jährigen Komponisten. Don Juan wurde am 11. November 1889 in Weimar uraufgeführt, als Strauss dort Hofkapellmeister war.
Furtwangler also gave the world premiere of Vier letzte Lieder in 1950. But only three Strauss works were allowed a place in his programs from the earliest years through the last; these were also the only works by Strauss he recorded commercially—Don Juan, Tod und Verklarung, and Till Eulenspiegel.
