He premièred A German Requiem in the city and wrote widely for choral forces, taking a variety of poetic source material. Begräbnisgesang (Funeral Hymn) evinces a great feeling of solemnity, whilst Schicksalslied (Song of Destiny) is an urgent, volatile work. Nänie was written as a lament for the death of the painter Anselm Feuerbach, and the Alto Rhapsody has remained one of the greatest works for contralto in the repertoire. Antoni Wit, one of the most highly regarded Polish conductors, studied conducting with Henryk Czyz and composition with Krzysztof Penderecki at the Academy of Music in Kraków, subsequently continuing his studies with Nadia Boulanger in Paris. In 2002 he became managing and artistic director of the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra.

  • Johannes Brahms and the Railway: a Composer and Steam
    Volume XXX, Number 1 Spring 2012 Johannes Brahms and the Railway: A Composer and Steam Every day at 12:37 p.m., EuroCity 177, the “Johannes Brahms,” leaves the Berlin-Gesundbrunnen train station for Vienna, Austria.1 It is not at all unusual for a railway route to bear a composer’s name; persons of significance are often honored this way in the European rail network. But is there more to this particular naming than meets the eye? What of Johannes Brahms and the railway? Certainly Brahms was, by virtue of his birth year, no stranger to the age of steam. In Germany the first railway began service in 1835; in Austria, it was 1837.2 An overview of Brahms’s correspondence and biographical writings shows no expression of concerns, fears, or complaints about train travel.3 On the contrary, his comments seem to indicate that he found it to be a comfortable experience, even though, according to Jan Swafford, he chose to travel in second class, the “comfortable but simple” middle of the three main ticketed classes of those days.4 For example, in a letter he wrote from Vienna to George Henschel in May 1881, Brahms advised Henschel that he would be in the Viennese suburb of Pressbaum (24 kms. distance) that summer, observing, “I shall be only a short distance away by rail, which, however, I always travel with great pleasure.”5 But in Brahms’s comments on train travel there is, at times, a more plaintive thread. This is particularly true in letters to his stepmother Karoline, and is illustrated by his use of the phrase Brahms at home in Vienna in 1892.
