He wrote much better music, i think Don Quixote is his best work, and almost everything else is better than the totality of Also Spracht..with the exception of the opening, How did that happen? WTF knows, but it is good that it happened, Kubrick would have been still searching for something bombastic :)...

It's puzzling to me for the opposite reason - I love ASZ (the whole thing), but have never found the secret to Don Quixote - although I do admit that (as always with Strauss) DQ is very clever in places (love those bleating sheep!). Sometimes, I think Strauss was too clever for his own good however. ;-)
My least favorite Strauss symphonic poem is Heldenleben: now THERE's a piece that takes a nose dive after its arresting opening (although I must admit that the very end is also compelling).
he was his main audience :)..
