Also sprach ZarathustraThus Spoke Zarathustra (musical work) – I did a double take when I saw the musical work popping up under Also sprach Zarathustra, while Nietzsche's work on which it was based came up us Thus Spoke Zarathustra. By any measure both the book and the musical work are both "Thus Spoke/Spake Zarathustra" in English and "Also sprach Zarathustra" in German, and the current setup seems to simply arbitrarily name the musical work in German and the book in English. However, a simple Google Scholar test shows that the musical work is not the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for Also sprach Zarathustra - of the 19,100 hits I got for the term, 14,400 hits remained with "Strauss" removed, compared to just 3,220 hits with "Nietzsche" removed - the obvious implication being that the work title of Also sprach Zarathustra is held in considerably greater association with Nietzsche than it is with Strauss. I would personally expect both Thus Spoke/Spake Zarathustra and "Also sprach Zarathustra" to direct first to the work by Nietzsche with hatnotes pointing to the musical work by Strauss.
