The Program:

Strauss - Till Eulenspiegel's Merry Pranks

Strauss - Death and Transfiguration

Brahms - Violin Concerto

About the Music:  Till Eulenspiegel's Merry Pranks by Richard Strauss chronicles the misadventures and pranks of the German peasant folk hero, Till Eulenspiegel. The two themes representing Till are played respectively by the horn and the clarinet; the clarinet theme is crafty and wheedling, suggesting a trickster doing what he does best.

Death and Transfiguration by Richard Strauss is dedicated to the composer's friend Friedrich Rosch.  Unusual for a composer of 25 years of age, the music depicts the death of an artist. As the man lies dying, thoughts of his life pass through his head: his childhood innocence, the struggles of his manhood, the attainment of his worldly goals; and at the end, he receives the longed-for transfiguration "from the infinite reaches of heaven".

Violin Concerto by Johannes Brahms is dedicated to his friend, violinist Joseph Joachim. It was Brahms' only violin concerto, and, according to Joachim, one of the four great German violin concerti.  Considered one of the most important works in the violin repertoire the technical demands on the soloist are formidable, with generous use of multiple stopping, broken chords, rapid scale passages, and rhythmic variation.
