"On 5 July 1905, shortly after the completion of the Salome score in Berlin and well before its first performance, Strauss wrote to inform his publisher Adolf Fürstner that he himself would undertake a French version of his new composition. His adaptation would retain the existing orchestration but alter the vocal line to accommodate Oscar Wilde's original French Salomé text..." from the accompanying booklet
