Richard Strauss
Richard Strauss (1864–1949) was a towering German composer and conductor of the late Romantic and early modern eras, renowned for his brilliant orchestration, pioneering tone poems (Also sprach Zarathustra), and scandalous operas like Salome and Elektra. A child prodigy, he bridged Wagnerian traditions with 20th-century innovation, leaving a massive legacy in symphonic music, lieder, and vocal writing.
