Under the spell of Wagner, Strauss had originally titled it LIEBESTOD UND VERKLÄRUNG after the final scene in TRISTAN UND ISOLDE. Completing the work in 1889, the composer conducted its premiere at the Eisenach Festival on June 21, 1890. He observed that \"dying is just the way I composed it\", reflecting on the work at the end of his life. Instrumentation: 3.2+EH.2+BCl.2+CBsn: 4.3.3.1: Timp.
