Here, in one of Strauss's greatest works, is an anguished elegy not only for the artistic treasures and buildings which were destroyed in the war but a lament for the death of a civilization. It is also, of course, a wonderful example of string-writing and a demonstration that his powers were still at their peak in his 82nd year.
