Till Eulenspiegel's Merry Pranks (German: Till Eulenspiegels lustige Streiche, pronounced [tɪl ˈoʏ̯lənʃpiːɡl̩s ˈlʊstɪɡə ˈʃtraɪçə]), Op. 28, is a tone poem written in 1894–95 by Richard Strauss.
Till Eulenspiegel, Strauss’s mischievous prankster, is a character from fourteenth century traditional German folk legends. Concerned with orchestral detail Honeck in the notes explains that in the trial scene he has heightened the pitch of the D clarinet to make it more audible.
