The last joint work was the fantastic comedy "Arabella". It is reported for the first time that two of the finest arias of this opera were conceived and elaborated in a ward of the Frankfurt University Clinic for Rhinolaryngology immediately after an operation on Richard Strauss in 1928. Various interesting medical and musicological details are reported and documented. | lld:pubmed |
