Melody Wilde

He became a composer after a brief, uproarious and distinguished careeras a conductor; wrote tone poems which, in the U. S. at least, remainhis most popular work. Of these, Don Juan is perhaps the mostcelebrated; Till Eulenspiegels Merry Pranks (one of the few genuinelycomic bits of music ever created) frames in melody the "owl-glass"legends of a fantastic buffoon who once annoyed staunch Germanburghers; Death and Transfiguration is a profoundly magnificent effortto encompass a theme more holy than most which have engaged itsauthor's attention.
