Download date: 06. Oct. 2021 Music and Time 0 in Theodor W. Adorno NIKOLAUS BACHT Doctoral Dissertation, presented to the Department of Mitsic, King's College, University of London 2002 fii ( LcDIN, Synopsis Music and Tinie in TheodorW, Adorno offers an analysis of Adorno's entire musicological and philosophical output, including unpublished typescripts. In the first chapter, Tinie and Musical Materialis"i, key temporal-philosophical premises are extracted from Adorno's journalistic publications from the 1920s. Adorno's endeavour in the 1930s to define more precisely the categories he developed in the 1920s is examined in the second chapter, Presencein Wagner.The third chapter, ModernihY (is Eternal Recurrenceof the Sanie, provides an analysis of Adorno's major works from the 1940s, Dialectic of Enlightennient, Mindina Moralia and Philosophyof Neu) Music. Chapter IV, Writing Tinle, elaborates with reference to Adorno's mature writings a linear narrative about music from the Middle Ages to the Darmstadt School in order to reveal the temporalising strategies of his music historiography. The fifth and final chapter, 'Owrconiing'Tinie, ventures into metaphysical terrain. 2 Contents Acknowledgments 5 ............................................................................................

Adorno und lValter Benjanlin Archiv in Frankfurt am Main for allowing me sight of all sources relevant for my research. I would also like to thank the scholars at King's College London and Harvard University who granted me the privilege of their supervision: John Deathridge, who was in fact much more than a supervisor; Chris Thornhill, who gave lavishly of his time and enthusiasm; Daniel Chua, whose creativity and wit have greatly inspired me; and Reinhold Brinkmann, who provided sharp insight and warm support at a particularly critical stage. Finally, I owe thanks to my friends Brian Brock, Trevor Watt and Martin Wendte for commenting on early chapter drafts; to Robert Kowalenko, an analytical philosopher, for not insisting too much on his belief that Adorno's books and everything else written in Hegelian language should be shelved under 'science fiction'; and to some other persons for helping me in ways often even more unique to themselves. 5 PAGE NUMBERING AS ORIGINAL Introduction Dazzled by intricate conceptual paradoxes and a powerful rhetoric, Adorno scholars often tend to oversee the obvious. The notion, for instance, that music is a temporal art, has never been used as the basis of an investigation of Adorno's writings. The author of the present study is convinced that exactly this apparently trivial and commonplace notion forms the key problem of Adorno's philosophy, leading directly and deeply into the centre of his thought. To verify this hypothesis, the present study traces the effect of temporal concepts in Adorno's specific version of materialist dialectics, negative dialectics. The hypothesis is associatedwith another one, namely that Adorno's project of a negative temporalisation of dialectics and, more generally, his intellectual development, are crucially conditioned by experiences with musical time. The author takes a twofold perspective on this task. On the one hand, he intends to provide a useful morphology of Adorno's ideas on time. On the other hand, he aims at a fundamental-critical deconstruction. For particularly with reference to temporal concepts, one can demonstrate that a great deal of what Adorno wrote was motivated by strategy rather than by an interest in the object. Reconstruction and deconstruction, however, go hand in hand and cannot be neatly separated. Moreover, where others would use harsh critical language to make their mark, the author will only intervene with subtle hints and rely upon the intellectual sensitivity of the reader. 6 Introduction If Adorno scholars have anything in common, it is their attraction to blinds intricacies and paradoxes -a fatal attraction indeed, for it us to apparent trivialities and commonplaces that may lead far more directly and deeply into the elusive conceptual centre of his thought. The simple notion, for instance, that music is a temporal art, has never been used as tthe basis of an investigation of Adorno's writings. The author of the present study is convinced that exactly this simple notion forms the central problem of Adorno's philosophy. To verify this hypothesis, the present study traces the effect of temporal concepts in Adorno's specific version of materialist dialectics, negative dialectics. The hypothesis is associatedwith another one, namely that Adorno's project of a negative temporalisation of dialectics in particular and his intellectual development

    Elaine Fitz Gibbon »Beethoven und Goethe blieben die Embleme des kunstliebenden Deutschlands, für jede politische Richtung unantastbar und ebenso als Chiffren manipulierbar« (Klüppelholz 2001, 25-26). “Beethoven and Goethe remained the emblems of art-loving Germany: untouchable for every political persuasion, and likewise, as ciphers, just as easily manipulated.”1 The year 2020 brought with it much more than collective attempts to process what we thought were the uniquely tumultuous 2010s. In addition to causing the deaths of over two million people worldwide, the Covid-19 pandemic has further exposed the extraordinary inequities of U.S.-American society, forcing a long- overdue reckoning with the entrenched racism that suffuses every aspect of American life. Within the realm of classical music, institutions have begun conversations about the ways in which BIPOC, and in particular Black Americans, have been systematically excluded as performers, audience members, administrators and composers: a stark contrast with the manner in which 2020 was anticipated by those same institutions before the pandemic began. Prior to the outbreak of the novel coronavirus, they looked to 2020 with eager anticipation, provoking a flurry of activity around a singular individual: Ludwig van Beethoven. For on December 16th of that year, Beethoven turned 250. The banners went up early. In 2019 on Instagram, Beethoven accounts like @bthvn_2020, the “official account of the Beethoven Anniversary Year,” sprang up. The Twitter hashtags #beethoven2020 and #beethoven250 were (more or less) trending. Prior to the spread of the virus, passengers flying in and out of Chicago’s O’Hare airport found themselves confronted with a huge banner that featured an iconic image of Beethoven’s brooding face, an advertisement for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s upcoming complete cycle Current Musicology 107 (Fall 2020) ©2020 Fitz Gibbon.

This is an Open Access article, distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution licence (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/), which permits unrestricted re-use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. doi: 10.1017/S1478572219000306 A Heretic in the Schoenberg Circle: Roberto Gerhard’s First Engagement with Twelve-Tone Procedures in Andantino DIEGO ALONSO TOMÁS Abstract Shortly before finishing his studies with Arnold Schoenberg, Roberto Gerhard composed Andantino,a short piece in which he used for the first time a compositional technique for the systematic circu- lation of all pitch classes in both the melodic and the harmonic dimensions of the music. He mod- elled this technique on the tri-tetrachordal procedure in Schoenberg’s Prelude from the Suite for Piano, Op. 25 but, unlike his teacher, Gerhard treated the tetrachords as internally unordered pitch-class collections. This decision was possibly encouraged by his exposure from the mid- 1920s onwards to Josef Matthias Hauer’s writings on ‘trope theory’. Although rarely discussed by scholars, Andantino occupies a special place in Gerhard’s creative output for being his first attempt at ‘twelve-tone composition’ and foreshadowing the permutation techniques that would become a distinctive feature of his later serial compositions. This article analyses Andantino within the context of the early history of twelve-tone music and theory. How well I do remember our Berlin days, what a couple we made, you and I; you (at that time) the anti-Schoenberguian [sic], or the very reluctant Schoenberguian, and I, the non-conformist, or the Schoenberguian malgré moi.

  • Zur Reger-Rezeption Des Wiener Vereins Für Musikalische Privataufführungen
    3 „in ausgezeichneten, gewissenhaften Vorbereitungen, mit vielen Proben“ Zur Reger-Rezeption des Wiener Vereins für musikalische Privataufführungen Mit Max Regers frühem Tod hatte der unermüdlichste Propagator seines Werks im Mai 1916 die Bühne verlassen. Sein Andenken in einer sich rasant verändernden Welt versuchte seine Witwe in den Sommern 1917, 1918 und 1920 abgehaltenen Reger-Festen in Jena zu wahren, während die schon im Juni 1916 gegründete Max- Reger-Gesellschaft (MRG) zwar Reger-Feste als Kern ihrer Aufgaben ansah, we- gen der schwierigen politischen und fnanziellen Lage aber nicht vor April 1922 ihr erstes Fest in Breslau veranstalten konnte. Eine kontinuierliche Auseinandersetzung zwischen diesen zwar hochkarätigen, jedoch nur sporadischen Initiativen bot Arnold Schönbergs Wiener „Verein für mu- sikalische Privataufführungen“, dessen Musiker, anders als die der Reger-Feste, in keinem persönlichen Verhältnis zum Komponisten gestanden hatten. Mit seinen idealistischen Zielen konnte der Verein zwar nur drei Jahre überleben, war aber in der kurzen Zeit seines Wirkens vom ersten Konzert am 29. Dezember 1918 bis zum letzten am 5. Dezember 1921 beeindruckend aktiv: In der ersten Saison veranstal- tete er 26, in der zweiten 35, in der dritten sogar 41 Konzerte, während die vorzeitig beendete vierte Saison nur noch elf Konzerte bringen konnte. Berücksichtigt wur- den laut Vereinsprospekt Werke aller Stilrichtungen unter dem obersten Kriterium einer eigenen Physiognomie ihres Schöpfers. Pädagogisches Ziel war es, das Pu- blikum auf
