Richard Strauss's “Metamorphosen”

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  04 February 2010

Extract

Germany 1944: aerial bombardment; retreating troops already at the frontiers; total restriction of all cultural activites; the theatres closed down. People in Germany cowering ever closer together under the daily lash of this mad war frenzy, questioned the very meaning of existence. They could only wait for Zero-day. The collapse. The future lay in darkness.
