"Till Eulenspiegels lustige Streiche" (Till Eulenspiegels merry pranks) op. 28 by Richard Strauss is one of the composer's ten tone poems - a tone poem being a composition that musically describes an extra-musical "program". The background of Strauss' op. 28 is medieval German folk hero Till Eulenspiegel, a trickster who originated in the Middle Low German folklore. His pranks and adventures have been subject to a number of tales and books, most famously the "Volksbuch" (folk book) by Hermann Bote, 1510, and the novel by Charles de Coster, 1867. Strauss has refrained from providing a full program in writing for his composition, remarking instead "Let the audience crack the nuts that the prankster offers them".
