Apart from the Ninth Symphony there are two masses, a full-length opera, an oratorio, two singspiels, the Choral Fantasia, a few cantatas or short choral pieces, several multi-voice canons, about 70 songs, and no fewer than 179 folksong settings. Most of this output is rarely or never performed. This may be partly due to the common misconception, evident even in Beethoven’s day, that his vocal works are inferior to his instrumental ones. But these vocal works are neglected for a number of other reasons, which vary for different types of works. The singspiels, for example, are too ‘occasional’ to suit modern performance situations. The songs are all too easily overshadowed by Schubert’s. The folksong settings are regarded by Beethoven devotees as beneath him, while folksong enthusiasts regard them as too sophisticated. And the oratorio Christus am Oelberge seems to be generally dismissed, mainly by those who do not actually know it. When the works do receive performances, issues arise that require comment. How far should performers attempt to reproduce Beethoven’s intentions? Translations of verbal texts, though common in Beethoven’s day, are now generally avoided in performance. Transposition, however, is a major problem with the solo songs. Tone quality, too, is a thorny issue – in particular the use of continuous vibrato by solo singers. Ornament signs are routinely misunderstood by many performers, and Beethoven’s pedal marks in the songs and folksong settings are widely disregarded. Moreover, performers have long used editions that are less than wholly reliable, as shown by examples in An die ferne Geliebte and the two masses. • WILLIAM KINDERMAN (University of California, Los Angeles), Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony as a Disputed Symbol of Community: From Thomas Mann’s «Doktor Faustus» to the Brexiteers of 2019 Perhaps no other musical work has assumed so much prominence as an affirmative cultural symbol as the choral finale of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony. This ‘effigy of the ideal’ has played a role in diverse political contexts, from protests against the dictatorship in Chile in 1973 to those in Beijing in 1989, while the fall of the Berlin Wall was marked by performance of the symphony with the word ‘Freude’ replaced by ‘Freiheit’, ‘joy’ by ‘freedom’. Critique of this affirmative symbol has a long history as well, with one landmark being Adrian Leverkühn’s revocation of the Ninth in his culminating work, a despairing cantata on The Lamentation of Faust as described in Thomas Mann’s novel from 1947. More recently, certain performances juxtaposed Beethoven’s utopian choral finale with Arnold Schoenberg’s A Survivor from Warsaw.

  • La Generazione Dell'ottanta and the Italian Sound
    LA GENERAZIONE DELL’OTTANTA AND THE ITALIAN SOUND A DISSERTATION IN Trumpet Performance Presented to the Faculty of the University of Missouri-Kansas City in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS by ALBERTO RACANATI M.M., Western Illinois University, 2016 B.A., Conservatorio Piccinni, 2010 Kansas City, Missouri 2021 LA GENERAZIONE DELL’OTTANTA AND THE ITALIAN SOUND Alberto Racanati, Candidate for the Doctor of Musical Arts Degree University of Missouri-Kansas City, 2021 ABSTRACT . La Generazione dell’Ottanta (The Generation of the Eighties) is a generation of Italian composers born in the 1880s, all of whom reached their artistic maturity between the two World Wars and who made it a point to part ways musically from the preceding generations that were rooted in operatic music, especially in the Verismo tradition. The names commonly associated with the Generazione are Alfredo Casella (1883-1947), Gian Francesco Malipiero (1882-1973), Ildebrando Pizzetti (1880-1968), and Ottorino Respighi (1879- 1936). In their efforts to create a new music that sounded unmistakingly Italian and fueled by the musical nationalism rampant throughout Europe at the time, the four composers took inspiration from the pre-Romantic music of their country. Individually and collectively, they embarked on a journey to bring back what they considered the golden age of Italian music, with each one yielding a different result. iii Through the creation of artistic associations facilitated by the fascist government, the musicians from the Generazione established themselves on the international scene and were involved with performances of their works around the world.

  • Scuola Pianistica Milanese»
    Guido Salvetti Forse non ci fu una «scuola pianistica milanese» Una valutazione del ruolo del pianoforte nella vita musicale milanese del primo Ottocen- to deve dar ragione di aspetti non poco contraddittori. Da un lato appare chiaro il ruolo secondario del pianoforte nelle istituzioni pubbliche di istruzione e di concerto. Dall’al- tro appare imponente l’attività che potremmo dire privata, quale ci viene testimoniata dai ‹nobili dilettanti› e dai cataloghi editoriali. Osserviamo innanzi tutto alcuni dati recentemente raccolti sulle pubbliche accade- mie del Regio Conservatorio, a partire dalla sua fondazione nel 1808.1 Pur tenendo conto delle inevitabili lacune di uno spoglio d’archivio, appaiono clamorose le assenze di esi- bizioni pianistiche per interi anni, sommerse da un enorme numero di brani operistici e di ariette. Nei primi dieci anni di vita dell’istituzione, l’insegnante Benedetto Negri propone alle autorità e al pubblico cittadino soltanto questi due interventi pianistici: 8 ottobre 18122 Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Variazioni per clavicembalo Giovanni Battista Rabitti3 1 ottobre 18154 Friedrich Heinrich Himmel Sonata per pianoforte5 [Luigi] Rabitti «minore» con accompagnamento di corni da caccia: Giacomo Belloli e Giuseppe Schiroli 1 Milano e il suo Conservatorio, a c. di Guido Salvetti, Milano 2003; cd-rom allegato, Appendice iv: Cronologia dei saggi degli allievi dal 1809 al 1896. Questa è l’avvertenza iniziale: «Per la compilazione della cronologia sono stati consultati i programmi di sala e, in alternativa, le recensioni apparse sulla Gazzetta musicale di Milano e sulla Perseveranza. In generale, per i titoli si è mantenuta la grafia come appare nel documento originale; dove è stato possibile si è provveduto, invece, a completare i nomi degliallieviedegliautori».

  • Beethoven, Bonn and Its Citizens
    Beethoven, Bonn and its citizens by Manfred van Rey The beginnings in Bonn If 'musically minded circles' had not formed a citizens' initiative early on to honour the city's most famous son, Bonn would not be proudly and joyfully preparing to celebrate his 250th birthday today. It was in Bonn's Church of St Remigius that Ludwig van Beethoven was baptized on 17 December 1770; it was here that he spent his childhood and youth, received his musical training and published his very first composition at the age of 12. Then the new Archbishop of Cologne, Elector Max Franz from the house of Habsburg, made him a salaried organist in his renowned court chapel in 1784, before dispatching him to Vienna for further studies in 1792. Two years later Bonn, the residential capital of the electoral domain of Cologne, was occupied by French troops. The musical life of its court came to an end, and its court chapel was disbanded. If the Bonn music publisher Nikolaus Simrock (formerly Beethoven’s colleague in the court chapel) had not issued several original editions and a great many reprints of Beethoven's works, and if Beethoven's friend Ferdinand Ries and his father Franz Anton had not performed concerts of his music in Bonn and Cologne, little would have been heard about Beethoven in Bonn even during his lifetime. The first person to familiarise Bonn audiences with Beethoven's music at a high artistic level was Heinrich Karl Breidenstein, the academic music director of Bonn's newly founded Friedrich Wilhelm University. To celebrate the anniversary of his baptism on 17 December 1826, he offered the Bonn première of the Fourth Symphony in his first concert, devoted entirely to Beethoven.

  • PROGRAM NOTES Ludwig Van Beethoven Overture to Fidelio
    PROGRAM NOTES by Phillip Huscher Ludwig van Beethoven Born December 16, 1770, Bonn, Germany. Died March 26, 1827, Vienna, Austria. Overture to Fidelio Beethoven began to compose Fidelio in 1804, and he completed the score the following year. The first performance was given on November 20, 1805, at the Theater an der Wien in Vienna. Beethoven revised the score in preparation for a revival that opened there on March 29, 1806. For a new production in 1814, he made substantial revisions and wrote the overture performed at these concerts. The overture wasn’t ready in time for the premiere on May 23, 1814, in Vienna’s Kärntnertor Theater, but it was played at the second performance. The overture calls for an orchestra consisting of two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, four horns, two trumpets, two trombones, timpani, and strings. Performance time is approximately six minutes. The Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s first subscription concert performances of Beethoven’s Overture to Fidelio were given at the Auditorium Theatre on December 14 and 15, 1894, with Theodore Thomas conducting. Our most recent subscription concert performances of the overture (and the complete opera) were given at Orchestra Hall on May 26, 28, and 31, 1998, with Daniel Barenboim conducting. The Orchestra first performed this overture at the Ravinia Festival on July 16, 1938, with Willem van Hoogstraten conducting, and most recently on July 30, 2008, with Sir Andrew Davis conducting. Nothing else in Beethoven’s career caused as much effort and heartbreak as the composition of his only opera, which took ten years, inspired four different overtures, and underwent two major revisions and a name change before convincing Beethoven that he was not a man of the theater.

  • Bards, Ballads, and Barbarians in Jena. Germanic Medievalism in The
    Møller, Journal for the Study of Romanticisms (2019), Volume 08, DOI 10.14220/jsor.2019.8.1.13 Andreas Hjort Møller (AarhusUniversity) Bards,Ballads, and Barbarians in Jena. Germanic Medievalism in the Early Works of Friedrich Schlegel Abstract The early German romantics were highly interested in medieval literature,primarily poetry written in romance vernacularssuch as Dante’s Inferno. Only later did the German ro- mantics turn to northern medieval literature for inspiration. In the case of German romantic Friedrich Schlegel (1772–1829), the usual opinionisthat he would not havecared for northern (primarily Scandinavian) medieval literature and art before his late phase, be- ginning around 1802. In this phase,his literary criticism stood under the sway of his con- servativepolitics. Thisarticle examines the reception of Germanic medieval literature in Schlegel’searly essays,reviews and fragments, in order to discuss the role of Germanic medieval literature in his work and the extent to which it is connectedwith his poetics and politics. Keywords Friedrich Schlegel, Medievalism, romanticism,Germanic and romance medieval literature, Antiquarianism. Traditional histories of literary criticism inform us that Friedrich Schlegel began his literary career as aclassicist historian of Greek and Roman Literature (1794– 1796), then went on to study romance literature (1797–1801) and only later, during his time in Paris around 1802, gained an interest in Germanic medieval literature that would persist for the remainder of his life.1 Schlegel’sinterest in the medieval is commonly taken to haveemerged from his so-called conservativeor nationalist turn that culminated in Schlegel’sconversion to Catholicism in the Cologne Cathedral in 1808 and his participation in the Congress of Vienna as a 1For instance, Kozielekdatesthe beginning of the interest of theearly German romantics to Ludwig Tieck and the year 1801, even though he notesthat Tieck and Wilhelm Heinrich Wackenroder payedattention to OldGerman literature in the 1790s, Gerard Kozielek: Mittel- alterrezeption.
