Le bourgeois gentilhomme (in German, Der Bürger als Edelmann), Op. 60, is an orchestral suite compiled by Richard Strauss from music he wrote between 1911 and 1917. The work has a complex genesis. Originally, Strauss collaborator Hugo von Hofmannsthal had the idea of reviving Molière's 1670 play Le bourgeois gentilhomme, simplifying its plot, introducing a commedia dell'arte troupe, adding incidental music, and concluding what would be a long evening with a newly written one-act opera called Ariadne auf Naxos. This idea did materialize, as planned, in Stuttgart on 25 October 1912. But it was apparent that the result was too long and expensive and that many in the audience for the play were uninterested in the opera, and vice versa. Strauss and Hofmannsthal accordingly opted to separate the

  • El burgués gentilhombre o Le Bourgeois gentilhomme, op. 60, es una suite orquestal escrita por Richard Strauss entre 1911 y 1917. La idea original de Hugo von Hofmannsthal, libretista de Strauss, tras el éxito de su colaboración en Der Rosenkavalier en 1911, fue revivir la obra de Molière de 1670, del mismo título, El burgués gentilhombre, simplificando la trama, introduciendo una compañía de comedia del arte, añadiendo algo de música incidental y concluyendo con una ópera en un acto, Ariadne auf Naxos. La fórmula, estrenada en 1912 en Stuttgart, dejando la obra teatral en su forma original, pero sustituyendo la mascarada turca por la representación de una ópera de contenido clásico, fracasó por su excesiva duración y sus costes de montaje, por la necesidad de disponer de una compañía de actores y otra compañía de ópera. Puestos a trabajar en la separación de las dos obras, se escribió un prólogo cantado a la ópera para explicar la presencia de los comediantes y se trasladó el argumento de París a Viena. La ópera, revisada y ya independiente, se estrenó en el Hofoper de Viena en 1916. El burgués gentilhombre también fue readaptada siguiendo más cercanamente la obra original de Molière, incluyendo música incidental adicional en 1917 y creando una suite orquestal. El estreno de la suite, bajo su dirección tuvo lugar el 31 de enero de 1920. (es)

This idea did materialize, as planned, in Stuttgart on 25 October 1912. But it was apparent that the result was too long and expensive and that many in the audience for the play were uninterested in the opera, and vice versa. Strauss and Hofmannsthal accordingly opted to separate the two works entirely. In the case of the opera, this meant Strauss composing a new “Prologue” for it to explain the presence of the comedians. (The revised Ariadne auf Naxos premiered four years later and has been a success ever since.) As regards the play, Hofmannsthal devised an ending closer to Molière's original, with Strauss adding to his existing incidental music to support the new conclusion. This premiered in 1917. An adaptation of Moliere's play by Peter Ustinov was presented and recorded in 1997 with Ustinov narrating and playing the parts, incorporating Strauss' music. It was from the now-lengthened incidental music that Strauss compiled his orchestral suite. He finished this task on Christmas Day 1917, and the resulting concert work received its premiere in Berlin on 9 April 1918 with Strauss himself conducting. The suite lasts half an hour and is in nine sections: 1. * Ouverture (Overture) 2. * Menuett (Minuet) 3. * Der Fechtmeister (The Fencing Master) 4. * Auftritt und Tanz der Schneider (Entry and Dance of the Tailors) 5. * Menuett des Lully (Lully's Minuet) 6. * Courante 7. * Auftritt des Cléonte (Entry of Cléonte; after Lully) 8. * Vorspiel (Intermezzo) 9. * Das Diner (The Dinner) Omitted from the suite were ballets added for the 1917 version of the play: one for sylphs, another for pretend-Turks. Strauss's Opus 60 is unusual among his works in having a distinct Baroque flavor. In fact he based sections 5 to 7 on music by Jean-Baptiste Lully, who had provided the original incidental music in 1670 and was as much a collaborator with Molière as Strauss and Hofmannsthal were centuries later. The few other so-called Neo-Classical works by Strauss also found inspiration in the French Baroque: his 1923 Dance suite after keyboard pieces by François Couperin and his 1942 Divertimento for chamber orchestra after keyboard pieces by Couperin, Opus 86.
