An Alpine Symphony (Eine Alpensinfonie), Op. 64, is a tone poem for large orchestra written by German composer Richard Strauss in 1915. It is one of Strauss's largest non-operatic works; the score calls for about 125 players and a typical performance usually lasts around 50 minutes.[1] The program of An Alpine Symphony depicts the experiences of eleven[2] hours (from daybreak just before dawn to the following nightfall) spent climbing an Alpine mountain.
