Aus Italien, Op. 16

Album by Richard Strauss & Staatskapelle Dresden & Rudolf Kempe

Aus Italien, Op. 16 is an orchestral tone poem by Richard Strauss, composed in 1886. The piece employs late-Romantic orchestration and programme-inspired musical episodes to evoke Italian locales and scenes, and it occupies an early place in Strauss's output that foreshadows his later, larger-scale tone poems through increased chromaticism and expanded orchestral colour.
