Strauss Metamorphosen ble komponert i de siste månedene av 2.verdenskrig. Strauss himself never commented on the meaning of the piece, beyond the title (which means "changes" or "transformations"

Strauss skrev «the most terrible period of human history is at an end, the twelve year reign of bestiality, ignorance and anti-culture under the greatest criminals, during which Germany's 2000 years of cultural evolution met its doom." Metamorphosen står for håp og fornyelse.
