Richard Strauss was the son of German horn player/composer Franz Strauss. He was widely known as a composer and conductor and was a champion of the symphonic poem made popular by Franz Liszt and Richard Wagner, although it was criticized by many formalists. Strauss wrote symphonic poems to both philosophical and descriptive programs and saw no limit to what could be expressed in music. His Also Sprach Zarathustra is based on the rhapsodic expression of Friedrich Nietzsche’s personal philosophy.
