Richard Strauss (1864-1949) was a German composer and conductor. He is widely regarded as one of the most important composers of the late Romantic and early 20th-century periods. His works are known for their lush orchestration, innovative harmonic language, and deep emotional impact. "Salome" opera is infamous for its subject matter and the "Dance of the Seven Veils." It's a daring work that explores the story of Salome and her infamous dance. "Also sprach Zarathustra" is perhaps one of Strauss's most famous works, thanks in part to its prominent use in film "2001: A Space Odyssey."
