The Sprach Zarathustra: a very famous piece of music, but what does it mean? Anyone know?

Question

music, meaning

Answer 1

You mean "Also Sprach Zarathustra?" It is translated into English as "Thus Spoke Zarathustra." This Strauss work is inspired by the Friedrich Nietzsche's book of the same name. Zarathustra himself was a historical figure who founded Zoroastrianism. He was basically a mystic and all references to him usually involve his mystical journeys.

I hope that's what you were asking.
