Note on score: "
Romain Rolland, dem großen Dichter und hochverehrten Freunde, dem heroischen Kämpfer gegen alle ruchlosen an Europas Untergang arbeitenden Mächte, mit dem Ausdruck treuester Sympathie und aufrichtigster Bewunderung." - Richard Strauss (1926).
1 People living beyond the river Oxus, in Turkestan: the place where the noisy music of the janissaries comes from.
Note: In order to praise Prince Carl August von Sachsen-Weimar, the poem sets a parallel between him and Sedschan, who was the patron of the poet Hafis.
