An Issue for Urban Planning BO LARSSON Lund University Memories of the vanished people in Černivci, L´viv and Wrocław — an issue for urban planning Background and main research questions Th is article aims to discuss the role and practice of urban planning in three East and Central European cities, hit by war genocide and forced migration dur- ing and aft er World War II, in relation to memories of earlier urban life and population, refl ected in the city environment. Th e article refers to an on-going, interdisciplinary project, also including Wrocław1 in Poland, dealing with three main questions of relations between the built environment and the memory of the vanished population groups:2 (1) Th e built environment as a refl ection of the earlier urban life of the van- ished population. Th is is mainly studied by inventories on sight, archive docu- ments, old photos and maps and by interviewing old persons who have personal memories of interwar, war and early post-war time in the cities. (2) Interviews and surveys among the present population about their know- ledge of, interest in and attitudes to the vanished population groups and their refl ections in the urban environment. 1 Former German Breslau. In this city 95% of the population was forced to leave for the dimi- nished Germany aft er World War II. 2 Th is contribution is based on the achievements of the fi rst half of a research project “Memo- ry treatment and urban planning with reference to the vanished population groups in Chişinău, Černivci, L´viv and Wrocław”. Th e main focus of the project is to investigate how the urban life, the vanished population and the city environment before and during World War II were remembered in the communist and post-communist time and treated in urban planning. Th e starting point for the project is a study of the very subject of memory management which is the physical and social structure of the cities in the 1930s and earlier and during World War II.

How is this heritage treated politically and culturally? What is highlighted, what is concealed and what is ignored? Th is article focuses on the built environment and its treatment in urban plan- ning in relation to the memory of the vanished population groups. The choice of cities Th e three cities analysed are L’viv and Černivci3 in Ukraine and Wrocław in Poland. Aft er World War II, L´viv (Lwów, Lemberg) was ceded to the Soviet Union from Poland and Černivci (Cernăuţi, Czernowitz) from Romania. Wrocław (Bres- lau) was ceded to Poland from Germany. In addition to the radical demographic changes during and immediately aft er the war, the new national contexts and a profound new, communist, societal system implied entirely new basic condi- tions, very much aff ecting urban planning. Planning was a crucial part of the new national, political and social projects, while the remaining old buildings and city structures represented the previous order. But still today, in all the three cities studied, old urban environments remain, largely representing a lost population and a lost political and national context. Th is article gives an overview of war destruction as well as a preserved built heritage, representing the vanished population. It includes investigations of the fi rst urban renewal planning in the perspective of memory treatment aft er the war and also roughly during the decades up to the present time. Today there is a growing interest in and understanding of historical monuments and cultural values associated with the lost population, but also confl icting interests and opin- ions with respect to this memory. Th e Jewish heritage and memories are especially highlighted in L’viv and Černivci, having an evident signifi cance and connection with the urban environ- ment in these cities, before as well as during the war. Wrocław (Breslau) also had many Jewish inhabitants considerably infl uencing the city’s development and environment. Apart from this the Polish heritage obviously is central in L’viv as well as the combined German, Romanian and Polish heritage in Černivci and the German heritage in Wrocław. 3 Or Chernivtsi in the standard English transcription of Cyrillic letters. I have consequently chosen to use the “Czech” way of transcription of Cyrillic letters, because it is closer to the origi- nal and to Slavonic spelling traditions, and because it is frequently used in academic writing, re- gardless of the language of the text (English, German, French etc.).

It is sometimes directly used as a means to express political and economic power in relation to the previous structures, e.g. by erasing parts of his- tory regarded as disruptive to the current rulers’ own historical self-image. Th e aim can be to spread forgetfulness of the periods of negative charge. Financial interests may cause demolitions simply because historic structures are perceived as obstacles to profi t or due to the lack of knowledge of and interest in the his- torical heritage. Urban planning ideologies diverge between visionary ideas and pragmatic improvements and between rationalistic and romantic concepts. Th ey refl ect diff erent attitudes towards history and future. Historic ties in the urban environment can be studied as diff erent environment layers4. In spite of political diff erences, there were evident parallels between urban planning ideals in the communist countries and non-totalitarian Europe, with the exception of Stalinist classicism. Th e dominant trend aft er the war was the functionalist and modernist movement, based on a positivist scientifi c view, rationalism, strong development optimism and a belief in the possibilities of modern technique. Historic and cultural heritage was more or less regarded as an obstacle to development. In war-damaged areas it was close at hand to construct radically new urban structures, according to the new political and ideological aims. Practical and eco- nomic considerations sometimes led to preservation, although not always in line with ideological aims. Th e diff erence between ideology and practice is mirrored in many plans not implemented5. Th e analyses of genius loci and existing values of architecture, urban image, cultural heritage and sites of memories have since the 1980s generally had an in- creasing signifi cance in urban planning in many European countries6. Th ere has lately, however, also appeared a resistance and criticism among architects against adapting to the special feature and identity of the site. Th is has been regarded as limitation of architectural freedom. It expresses a belief that it is impossible 4 An interesting example is the thesis Monument og Niche by Carsten Juel Christansen, descri- bing how diff erent structures, representing diff erent historical phases and cultures meet and cross each other in the urban environment (Juel Christiansen 1985). 5 Th e reconstruction of the older Polish urban environments in Warsaw and Gdańsk are exceptional, being associated with a national policy to restore the Polish heritage. However, in the former German city of Breslau/Wrocław there was a rather similar policy for the rehabilitation of historic urban environments, although this in fact concerned the German heritage. It was legiti- mized by its connection with the also existing Polish history of the city. 6 A basic work is Ch. Norberg-Schulz, Genius Loci, Towards a Phenomenology of Architecture. New York: Rizzoli, 1980.

But exactly this can be seen as a challenge, also aff ecting the cities studied here: To interpret the special quality of the site, consider the surrounding cultural heritage and embedded memories and still contribute something new. Černivci — Cernăuţi — Czernowitz Historical background The period up to World War I Th e 600-year-old city is situated where traditional Romanian (Moldovan) and Ukrainian (Ruthenian) settlement areas meet and overlap. Aft er being under Ottoman suzerainty from the 16th century, the small Moldovan town experi- enced a rapid growth under Austrian rule 1774–1918, especially as a capital of the crown land Bukovina aft er 1849. In this development as a contemporary Euro- pean capital, as a “small Vienna”, Černivci/Cernăuţi/Czernowitz was a melting pot of cultures, receiving Germans, Poles, Armenians and Jews and other set- tlers, with a remarkably high level of cultural, academic and commercial life. In 1910 the population was 87,000, 33% Jewish (this share increased to 47% in 1919), 17% Ukrainians, 17% Poles, 15% Romanians and 14% Germans. Th ere were also Armenians, Czechs, Hungarians, Greeks and others. No ethnic group was in ma- jority. German was a kind of lingua franca, a mother tongue of around 40% of the population, including modern, Europe-oriented “emancipated” Jews, who had a crucial position in the city within business such as industry, craft s, trade, hotel and restaurant; as well as among professors, lawyers, doctors and artists.

    FRANZ SCHUBERT: INSIDE, OUT (MUS 7903) LOUISIANA STATE UNIVERSITY, COLLEGE OF MUSIC & DRAMATIC ARTS FALL 2017 instructor Dr. Blake Howe ([email protected]) M&DA 274 meetings Thursdays, 2:00–4:50 M&DA 273 office hours Fridays, 9:30–10:30 prerequisite Students must have passed either the Music History Diagnostic Exam or MUS 3710. Blake Howe / Franz Schubert – Syllabus / 2 GENERAL INFORMATION COURSE DESCRIPTION This course surveys the life, works, and times of Franz Schubert (1797–1828), one of the most important composers of the nineteenth century. We begin by attempting to understand Schubert’s character and temperament, his life in a politically turbulent city, the social and cultural institutions that sponsored his musical career, and the circles of friends who supported and inspired his artistic vision. We turn to his compositions: the influence of predecessors and contemporaries (idols and rivals) on his early works, his revolutionary approach to poetry and song, the cultivation of expression and subjectivity in his instrumental works, and his audacious harmonic and formal practices. And we conclude with a consideration of Schubert’s legacy: the ever-changing nature of his posthumous reception, his impact on subsequent composers, and the ways in which modern composers have sought to retool, revise, and refinish his music. COURSE MATERIALS Reading assignments will be posted on Moodle or held on reserve in the music library. Listening assignments will link to Naxos Music Library, available through the music library and remotely accessible to any LSU student. There is no required textbook for the course. However, the following texts are recommended for reference purposes: Otto E.

  • Joseph Schmidt (1904-2004)
    Joseph Schmidt (1904-2004) Jan Neckers 21 September 2004 This is not a biography of the Jewish tenor. Just some personal thoughts on a few interesting aspects. Those interested in a biographical article and an outstanding discography better purchase the June 2000 issue of The Record Collector where your servant and Hansfried Sieben devoted more than sixty small print pages to the tenor. Those able to read German can still buy Alfred Fasbind’s biography published at the Schweizer Verlagshaus in Zurich¨ 1992. It is still available in some German bookshops and maybe with the author himself (Rosenbergstrasse 16, 8630 Ruti,¨ Switzerland). So, what can I tell you that’s not in the article? Well, it is a pity Schmidt was not a Brit or an American or even a Frenchman. Nobody reading his biography can fail to muse on the many ordeals he lived through in his short life. (though of course he was not alone in this as millions of those unlucky generations born in Europe around 1900 would share his fate). And nobody reading it can fail to recognize an outstanding script for a magnificent movie or an outstanding series in the best Forsythe-tradition. Yes, the Germans produced a movie in 1958 which used the tenor’s singing voice but it belongs in the category ‘ought to be seen to be believed’. The makers succeeded in eliminating Schmidt’s personal tragedy completely as the actor playing the tenor measured at least some 35 centimetres more than the very small singer. (Forget the usual measure given of 1.55 m which is still 5 feet.

The University of Texas at Austin, 2004 Supervisor: Katherine Arens This dissertation tests Benedict Anderson’s thesis about the coherence of imagined communities by tracing how Galicia, as the heart of a Polish culture in the nineteenth century that would never be an independent nation state, emerged as an historical, cultural touchstone with present day significance for the people of Europe. After the three Partitions and Poland’s complete disappearance from political maps of Europe, substitute images of Poland were sought that could replace its lost kingdom with alternate forms of national identity grounded in culture and tradition rather than in politics. Not the hereditary dynasty, not Prussia or Russia, but Galicia emerged as the imagined and representative center of a Polish culture without a state. This dissertation juxtaposes political realities with canonical literary texts that provide images of a cultural community among ethnic Germans and Poles sharing the border of Europe.

  • Where Words Leave Off, Music Begins”
    CG1009 Degree Project, Bachelor, Classical Music, 15 credits 2017 Degree of Bachelor in Music Department of Classical Music Supervisor: David Thyrén Examiner: Peter Berlind Carlson Philip Sherman ”Where words leave off, music begins” A comparison of how Henry Purcell and Franz Schubert convey text through their music in the compositions Music for a while and Erlkönig Skriftlig reflektion inom självständigt, konstnärligt arbete Inspelning av det självständiga, konstnärliga arbetet finns dokumenterat i det tryckta exemplaret av denna text på KMH:s bibliotek. Summary ”The singer is always working through a text that in some way or another inspired the vocal line and its texture,” wrote American pianist, pedagogue, and author Thomas Grubb. But exactly how does a text inspire a composer to create this synergy between words and music? During the course of my studies at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm, I gradually began to deepen my knowledge and awareness of Henry Purcell and Franz Schubert. I was at once astounded by their ability to seemlessly amalgamate the chosen texts to their music, and decided that this connection required greater research. The purpose of this study was thus to gain a deeper understanding of how Purcell and Schubert approached the relationship between text and music by studying the two pieces Music for a while and Erlkönig. I also wished to discover any similarities and differences between the composers’ approaches to word painting, in addition to discerning the role of the accompaniment to further illustrate the narrative. I began by reading literature about the two composers as well as John Dryden and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, the poets whose texts were set to music.

  • St. John's Cathedral Wrocław
    St. John’s Cathedral Wrocław The Cathedral of St. John the Baptist in Wrocław, (Polish: Archikatedra św. Jana Chrzciciela, German: Breslauer Dom, Kathedrale St. Johannes des Täufers), is the seat of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Wrocław and a landmark of the city of Wrocław in Poland. The cathedral, located in the Ostrów Tumski district, is a Gothic church with Neo-Gothic additions. The current standing cathedral is the fourth church to have been built on the site. The cathedral was almost entirely destroyed (about 70% of the construction) during the Siege of Breslau and heavy bombing by the Red Army in the last days of World War II. Parts of the interior fittings were saved and are now on display at the National Museum in Warsaw. The initial reconstruction of the church lasted until 1951, when it was reconsecrated by Archbishop Stefan Wyszyński. In the following years, additional aspects were rebuilt and renovated. The original, conical shape of the towers was restored only in 1991. Wroclaw Town Hall The Old Town Hall (Polish: Stary Ratusz) of Wroclaw stands at the center of the city’s Market Square (rynek). Wroclaw is the largest city in western Poland and isthe site of many beautiful buildings. The Old Town Hall's long history reflects the developments that have taken place in the city over time since its initial construction. The town hall serves the city of Wroclaw and is used for civic and cultural events such as concerts held in its Great Hall. In addition to a concert hall, it houses a museum and a basement restaurant.
