As regards faking, Richard Strauss once commented that some of the more
difficult passages he had written in his early tone-poems, such as
Zarathustra, lost their effect as orchestras got better and played them
exactly as written - he seemed to feel that this detracted from the
occasional chaotic and/or wild effect that he had originally conceived.
