The Brentano Lieder was originally written for voice and piano in 1918, then later orchestrated in 1940, a time in which Strauss orchestrated a lot of his more popular Lieder for soprano. It makes sense because the thirties and forties were his best orchestrated works, including operas. By far my favorite composer!

the songs were first written for orchestra and soprano, I think...

@Pantarei

Yes, Strauss most certainly did orchestrate this song himself.

[NoirOrchestre]

@Pantarei no, as far as i know Strauss didn't orchestrate this lied. I don't know who did it.

You have the distinction of being one of the few people in the world with the ability to sing this song. Your high notes are absolutely sensational!!!

[Pantarei]

Does anybody know if this orchestration was made by Strauss himself?

I had to make an orchestration for this lied and i didn't know there was already one.
