Richard Strauss sent this photograph to the composer Arnold Schönberg with the following dedication: “Mr. Arnold Schönberg to friendly reminder | Dr. Richard Strauss | Christmas 1903.” As different as their biographies may be, as divergent as the artistic and ideological position of Richard Strauss and Arnold Schönberg developed, both composers took up epochal concerns which had equal effects on their art around 1900. Even if the two did not share aesthetic strategies and travelled different paths in their art and their lives (which developed in entirely diverging ways, particularly as of 1908/1909), at least Schönberg’s early years – so determinant for his emergence as a composer – were influenced by Strauss in a not merely peripheral way.
