The article discusses the life and works of Erich Schmid, a chief conductor of the Tonhalle Orchestra in Zurich, Germany. He went to music school from the aged of 15 to 19 and studied under Bert Kaempfert whose musical theory changed his musical outlook. He got the Mozart Price of Frankfurt award in 1928 which afforded him prestige. His works include Sonatina, Rilke suite and Three movements which were all written in 1929. His other jobs include a pianist, choirmaster, and a music journalist.

The article presents information on the musical piece "Salome," by Richard Strauss. The world premiere of the musical piece was held on December 9, 1905. Strauss's reputation had hitherto rested on his symphonic poems and songs. Salome confirmed him as both a leading music dramatist and the foremost modernist in music. The effects of Salome were pronounced for both Strauss himself and for music history in general. However, despite Salome's rapid conquest of the German opera houses, there was no guarantee that it would appear at Strauss's own in Berlin, Germany.
