One of the most creative and sprightly pieces in the orchestral repertoire.

A very helpful and insightful video, and wonderful artwork too. Thank you

I've always felt that the recurrence of the theme at the end expresses the nostalgic feeling of the townsfolk about Till's playful pranks.

Richard Strauss as a determined and deadly decadent! How charmingly absurd! This critic unwittingly fell into Till's trap! Glory be to R. Strauss to relish his wicked/clever humour (don't you just love the 'Berlioz-march' to the gallows? Thank you for this posting 😅
