| Note |
"Strauss wrote his Alpine symphony for relaxation, in the odd moments between work on operatic projects. Although the first sketches date from 1911, the work's inspiration is traced to a boyhood holiday of mountain-climbing and to the spectacular view of alpine peaks visible from his Bavarian villa at Garmisch."--Notes, p. 4. |
