German composer (1864–1949) whose colorful symphonic poems and operas earned him a place among the most important figures in late-19th- and early-20th-century music. Perhaps his best-known work is Also sprach Zarathustra (1896), which attained iconic status as the signature theme of the film 2001: A Space Odyssey. Excellent 4.25 x 6.5 informal cabinet photo of a seated Strauss, bearing the impressed date 1905, signed in ink on the background of the image, “Dr. Richard Strauss.” In fine, crisp condition. A particularly handsome example! RRAuction COA.
