In 1945 Strauss allowed an orchestral Rosenkavalier Suite to be published, but he was apparently not involved in creating it. It is likely that conductor Artur Rodzinski arranged it, as he had conducted the Suite’s first performance, which was in October 1944 by the New York Philharmonic. This edition is by Robert Mandell.
