Strauss considered the Streicher-Goebbels Jew-baiting as a disgrace to German honor, as evidence of incompetence. Meanwhile, far from being an admirer of Strauss's work, Joseph Goebbels maintained expedient cordiality with Strauss only for a period. Goebbels wrote in his diary: Unfortunately, we still need him, but one day we shall have our own music and then we shall have no further need of this decadent neurotic. Strauss's music had a considerable influence on composers at the start of the 20th century. Le Legend de Joseph, Sheet music for the piano, Paris 1914, 115 Pages. One act opera.
