Till Eulenspiegels Lustige Streiche (Strauss-Richard)
1 Till Eulenspiegels Lustige Streiche starts with a happy, cheeky tune on the strings.
2 This is Till's leitmotif. The horn theme is a lilting melody that reaches a peak,using notes of the natural harmonics of F, then drops to the fundamental.
3 Here the clarinet theme is crafty and wheedling, so Till seems to be puting out his tongue at everyone, after his naughty prank.

1 Waltz I from Der Rosenkavalier
2 Waltz II
3 Waltz III
4 Waltz IV
5 Waltz V
