Till Eulenspiegel's Merry Pranks, Richard Strauss
Very important music to a trombone player.
Till, BTW, according to the legend, was finally hung. Apparently 'pranks' doesn't translate well and has something to do with married women, ladders, bedroom windows and cuckolded husbands.No sense of humor, those Germans.
Perhaps better to be Scaramouche! "He was born with the gift of laughter and the sense that the world was mad"-Rafael Sabatini
