Catalogue Note
In this attractive song, Strauss sets words by the poet Anzengruber in broad Viennese dialect. The scenario is of old peasant couple visiting a gallery of modern art, the walls covered in depictions of naked women. This is the final verse of the poem, where the man reassures his wife that the same will not be demanded of her. It was published in facsimile, in Allgemeine Kunst-Chronik, XIII, no.1 (Munich, 1889). Sotheby's is happy to acknowledge the advice of Peter Kemp in our cataloguing of this lot.
