Don Quixote, illustrator unknown (U.S. 1874)
“With too little sleep and too much reading his brains dried up, causing him to lose his mind. His fantasy filled with everything he had read in his books: enchantments as well as combats, battles, challenges, wounds, courtings, loves, torments, and other impossible foolishness.”
That's how Miguel de Cervantes describes what led the title character of his early 17th century novel "Don Quixote de la Mancha" to embark on his adventurous fantasy life of a chivalrous Knight.
The story inspired Richard Strauss to compose his tone poem "Don Quixote" in 1897. The music is written in a theme and variations format with the solo cello representing Don Quixote and the solo viola (and other instruments at times) depicting his squire Sancho Panza. "Don Quixote" is today's Midday Masterpiece.
