JUDD, Assistant Manager 1 THE INSTRUMENT OF THE IMMORTALS QOMETIMES people who want a Steinway think it economi- cal to buy a cheaper piano in the beginning and wait for a Steinway. Usually this is because they do not realize with what ease Franz Liszt at his Steinwav and convenience a Steinway can be bought. This is evidenced by the great number of people who come to exchange some other piano in partial payment for a Steinway, and say: "If I had only known about your terms I would have had a Steinway long ago!" You may purchase a new Steinway piano with a cash deposit of 10%, and the bal* ance will be extended over a period of two years. 'Prices: $875 and up. Convenient terms.

This symphony was composed at Linz in the summer of 1812. The autograph manuscript in the Royal Library at Berlin bears this inscrip- tion in Beethoven's handwriting: "Sinfonia—Lintz, im Monath Octo- ber 1812." GloggFs Linzer Musikzeitung made this announcement October 5: "We have had at last the long-wished-for pleasure to have for some days in our capital the Orpheus and the greatest musical poet of our tune, Mr. L. van Beethoven; and, if Apollo is gracious to us, we shall also have the opportunity of wondering at his art." The same periodical announced November 10: "The great tone-poet and tone- artist, Louis van Beethoven, has left our city without fulfilling our passionate wish of hearing him publicly in a concert." Beethoven was in poor physical condition in 1812, and as Stauden- heim, his physician, advised him to try Bohemian baths, he went to Toplitz by way of Prague; to Carlsbad, where a note of the postilion's horn found its way among the sketches for the Eighth Symphony; to Franzensbrunn and again to Toplitz ; and lastly to his brother Johann's home at Linz, where he remained until into November. The Seventh and Eighth Symphonies were probaby played over for the first time at the Archduke Rudolph's in Vienna, April 20, 1813. Beethoven in the same month endeavored to produce them at a con- cert, but without success. The Seventh was not played until December 8, 1813, at a concert organized by Malzel, the mechanician. The first performance of the Eighth Symphony was at a concert given by Beethoven at Vienna in the "Redoutensaal" on Sunday, February 27, 1814. The Allgemeine Musik-Zeitung in a review of this concert stated that The Brooklyn Home for More Than Thirty Years of Ivers & Pond Pianos - Players - Grands Thi choice of several hundred leading American Conservatories of Music and Educational Institutions.

"All were in anxious expectation to hear the new symphony (F major, 3-4), the latest product of Beethoven's muse; but this expectation after one hearing was not fully satisfied, and the applause which the work re- ceived was not of that enthusiastic nature by which a work that pleases universally is distinguished. In short, the symphony did not make, as the Italians say, furore. I am of the opinion that the cause of this was not in weaker or less artistic workmanship (for in this, as in all of Beethoven's works of this species, breathes the peculiar genius which always proves his originality), but partly in the mistake of allowing this symphony to follow the one in A major, and partly in the satiety that followed the enjoyment of so much that was beautiful and excel- lent, whereby natural apathy was the result. If this symphony in future should be given alone, I have no doubt concerning its favorable reception." Czerny remembered that on this occasion the new Eighth Symphony did not please the audience; that Beethoven was irritated, and said: "Because it is much better" (than the Seventh).

ELLIS PUBLISHED BY C. A. ELLIS, MANAGER : : Vladimir De Pachmann The Greatest Pianist Of the 20th Century ON TOUR IN THE UNITED STATES SEASON: 1911-1912 For generations the appearance of new stars on the musical firmament has been announced — then they came with a temporary glitter — soon to fade and to be forgotten. De Pachmann has outlived them all. With each return he won additional resplendence and to-day he is acknowl- edged by the truly artistic public to be the greatest exponent of the piano of the twentieth century. As Arthur Symons, the eminent British critic, says "Pachmann is the Verlaine or Whistler of the Pianoforte the greatest player of the piano now living." Pachmann, as before, uses the BALDWIN PIANO for the expression of his magic art, the instrument of which he himself says " .... It cries when I feel like crying, it sings joyfully when I feel like singing. It responds — like a human being — to every mood. I love the Baldwin Piano." Every lover of the highest type of piano music will, of course, go to hear Pachmann — to revel in the beauty of his music and to marvel at it. It is the beautiful tone quality, the voice which is music itself, and the wonderfully responsive action of the Baldwin Piano, by which Pachmann's miraculous hands reveal to you the thrill, the terror and the ecstasy of a beauty which you had never dreamed was hidden in sounds.

  • Albert Pinkham Ryder 1 S Two Wagnerian Paintings: the Flying Dutchman and Siegfried and the Rhine Maidens
    ABSTRACT Title of Thesis: Albert Pinkham Ryder 1 s Two Wagnerian Paintings: The Flying Dutchman and Siegfried and the Rhine Maidens Sharon Dale Carman, Master of Arts, 1988 Thesis directed by: John Peters-Campbell, Assistant Professor, Art History Albert Pinkham Ryder (1847-1917) has traditionally been regarded as an anomalous figure in the history of art. A small, but growing, body of scholarship has recently been devoted to correcting this view of the artist and to establishing his relationship to the aes- thetic currents of his time. This study explores the influence on his art of Ryder's environment, late nineteenth-century New York. Two of Ryder's paintings, each based on an incident in an opera by Richard Wagner, are examined: Siegfried and the Rhine Maidens, drawn from Gotterdammerung; and The Flying Dutchman, inspired by Der fliegende Hollander. The history of opera in nineteenth- century New York helps to explain how an American painter came to be influenced by such distinctly German operatic themes. German immigration patterns are linked with changes in operatic taste, and the interest of native intellectuals in Wagner's music and ideas is discussed. Wagnerian staging tradition is posited as a source for the compositions of both Siegfried and the Rhine Maidens and The Flying Dutchman. It is demonstrated that the set designed by Josef Hoffmann for the original Bayreuth pro­ duction of Gotterdammerung, Act III, Scene I, served as the specific compositional basis for Ryder's Siegfried and the Rhine Maidens.

  • Realism and Naturalism
    ~~fAif{l,istory ot i~t~; Design and I;echnology in_ -· .. r. ····-· Eil[o]:ie,:arJd the --v~i't~-d~~,i~f~~- - CHAPTER SEVEN Realism and Naturalism Newworldviews developed in the mid- to late nineteenth century that changed many philosophical and scientific trends in Europe and the United States. Archaeological and scientific discoveries and changing economic structures during the industrial revolu­ tion encouraged intellectuals, politicians, scientists, and artists to question points of view rooted in the power structures of religious hierarchies, monarchies, and govern­ ments. The application of the scientific method, early developments in sociology, and widespread political and economic injustices changed the function of the artist. Theatre artists became interested in projecting a point ofview that was relevant to contemporary audiences. The styles ofromanticism and classicism gave way to realism and naturalism, and these new styles took two different major tracks: historically accurate "period," or antiquated, stories and realistic drama that focused on contemporary social issues. t I The political turmoil of the r84os began to undermine both romanticism and clas­ 1',,, sicism as attention was shifted increasingly to inequities in society. As a result, around r8so, emphasis began to shift to realism and eventually naturalism and remained there throughout the last halfof the nineteenth century. By the mid-r84os, both classicism and romanticism had lost much of their appeal for most writers and designers in Europe and the United States. They were replaced by interest in historical accuracy: insistence on archaeological precision in the architecture depicted in stage settings; exactness in the representation of such stage properties as furniture, draperies, and all details of orna­ mentation; accuracy of costumes in terms of decoration, style, and shape; and armor and weaponry of the correct period and design.

  • De Muzikale Geschiedenis Van De Festspiele, Aflevering 1 Door Johan Maarsingh
    De muzikale geschiedenis van de Festspiele, aflevering 1 door Johan Maarsingh Dit is het begin van een serie artikelen over de geschiedenis van de Bayreuther Festspiele aan de hand van geluidsopnamen. Beeldopname kwam er pas in 1978 (Tannhäuser in de regie van Götz Friedrich, gedirigeerd door Sir Colin Davis), ruim een eeuw na de door Richard Wagner georganiseerde Festspiele met de wereldpremière van de complete Ring des Nibelungen. Aan het begin van “Wagner in Bayreuth” staat echter Beethovens Negende symfonie. Dit werk dirigeerde Wagner voor het laatst in zijn leven op 22 mei 1872, in het Markgräfliches Opernhaus. Op zijn negenenvijftigste verjaardag heeft Wagner toen ook de eerste steen gelegd van zijn Festspieltheater. Dat werk stond eveneens op het programma toen de Bayreuther Festspiele in 1951 werden heropend. Het is het eerste werk dat in het Festspielhaus echt helemaal compleet voor de grammofoonplaat is vastgelegd. Veel later zou blijken dat de plaat een compilatie bevat van de echte uitvoering met opnamen gemaakt tijdens repetities. Commerciële opnamen voor langspeelplaat of cd komen tot stand door meerdere voorstellingen op te nemen. De eerste opnamen We gaan terug naar het Bayreuth van Cosima en Siegfried Wagner (beiden overleden in 1930) voor opnamen op de 78t-plaat. In 1927 heeft de komst van de microfoon kort tevoren de geluidskwaliteit van plaatopnamen aanzienlijk verbeterd. Reden voor Columbia om korte fragmenten uit de Ring en Parsifal op de plaat te zetten. Dat het net de twee werken van Wagner zijn die in Bayreuth in wereldpremière gingen is puur toeval. In 1927 regisseerde Siegfried Wagner een nieuwe productie van de Tristan en daarvan worden grote delen in 1928 op de plaat gezet.

Sie hat diesen Weg nicht nur ihren Schülerinnen und Schülern vermittelt, sondern ih- re Methode darüber hinaus durch ihr Buch „Meine Ges- angskunst“ auch an künftige Generationen von Studie- renden weitergegeben. Ihre Schallplatten, obwohl erst in fortgeschrittenem Alter aufgenommen, sind ein eind- rucksvolles Dokument der Stilsicherheit Lilli Lehmanns, die gleichermaßen Konstanzes Martern-Arie wie Isoldes Liebestod gerecht wird. In ihren Aufnahmen ist eine Sän- gerin dokumentiert, die noch unter der Stabführung und Anleitung etwa von Verdi, Wagner, Mahler und von Bü- lows gesungen hat. Ihr akustisches Erbe baut eine Brü- cke aus dem mittleren 19. Jahrhundert und seinen Tradi- tionen hinüber in das frühe 20. Jahrhundert.

    The Total Work of Art `The Total Work of Art: From Bayreuth to Cyberspace is an outstanding accomplishment. Matt Smith has written an original and provocative analysis that "fast forwards" the Gesamtkunstwerk into the 20th and 21st centuries, demonstrating how the project of creating a total work of art has been taken up by very different artists working not only in theater but also film, theme parks, experimental happenings, and digital media. This work will recast how scholars approach the total work of art and help stimulate new research across several fields.' Jon McKenzie, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, USA `In this groundbreaking study, Matthew Smith shows us that the ideal of a total work of art was the driving engine behind the greatest accomplishments and the scariest fantasies of modern culture. Weaving Wagner, Warhol, and virtual reality into a rich and compelling narrative, The Total Work of Art is theater studies at its best. This book, written with precision and flair, should be required reading for anyone interested in theater history. And who knows, it just might serve as a blueprint for the theater of the future.' Martin Puchner, Columbia University, USA Richard Wagner, Oskar Schlemmer, Bert olt Brecht, Leni Riefenstahl, Walt Disney, Andy Warhol, Bill Gates: these disparate figures all represent important stages in. the development of the total work of art. Impacting fields of theatre, architecture, music, literature and film, the tradition of the total work of art-has exerted tremen- dous influence on modern culture, in a way that has so far been only partially understood. The tradition of the total work of art has been studied primarily as a branch of the history of opera.

Nous avons de plus modernisé l'orthographe pour le rendre conforme aux usages actuels (par exemple poème en lieu et place de poëme). Enfin, nous avons choisi de nommer les œuvres par les titres sous lesquels elles sont désormais connues en France.
