Hoplit, Hanslick and Liszt's Dante Symphony Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/7q1594xs Author Grimes, Nicole Publication Date 2021-06-28 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California A Critical Inferno? Hoplit, Hanslick and Liszt’s Dante Symphony NICOLE GRIMES ‘Wie ist in der Musik beseelte Form von leerer Form wissenschaftlich zu unterscheiden?’1 Introduction In 1881, Eduard Hanslick, one of the most influential music critics of the nineteenth century, published a review of a performance of Liszt’s Dante Symphony (Eine Sym- phonie zu Dantes Divina commedia) played at Vienna’s Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde on 14 April, the eve of Good Friday.2 Although he professed to be an ‘admirer of Liszt’, Hanslick admitted at the outset that he was ‘not a fan of his compositions, least of all his symphonic poems’. Having often given his opinion in detail on those works in the Neue Freie Presse, Hanslick promised brevity on this occasion, asserting that ‘Liszt wishes to compose with poetic elements rather than musical ones’. There is a deep genesis to Hanslick’s criticism of Liszt’s compositions, one that goes back some thirty years to the controversy surrounding progress in music and musical aesthetics that took place in the Austro-German musical press between the so-called ‘New Germans’ and the ‘formalists’ in the 1850s. This controversy was bound up not only with music, but with the philosophical positions the various parties held. The debate was concerned with issues addressed in Hanslick’s monograph Vom Musika- lisch-Schönen, first published in 1854,3 and with opinions expressed by Liszt in a series of three review articles on programme music published contemporaneously in the 1 ‘How is form imbued with meaning to be differentiated philosophically from empty form?’ Eduard Hanslick, Aus meinem Leben, ed.

  • Liszt Franz Ferenc
    LISZT FRANZ FERENC Pianista, compositore e direttore d'orchestra ungherese (Doborjan, Sopran, 22 X 1811 - Bayreuth 31 VII 1886) 1 Nato da genitori tedeschi (il cognome originario era List), verso i 6 anni fu avviato alla musica dal padre, esecutore dilettante di pianoforte, violino e chitarra, e fece così rapidi progressi che potè presentarsi al pubblico a Odenburg (= Sopran), nell'ottobre del 1820, con un concerto di F. Ries ed un'improvvisazione. Suonò poi ad Eisenstadt alla presenza del principe Esterhazy che lo invitò per un altro concerto nel proprio palazzo a Pressburg (= Pozsony, od. Bratislava) dove ottenne un così grande successo che alcuni nobili gli garantirono una borsa di Studio per sei anni. Nel 1821 si trasferì con i genitori a Vienna dove fu allievo di C. Czerny per il pianoforte e di A. Salieri per la composizione. Un concerto a Vienna, il 1 XII 1822, gli procurò una notorietà che permise al padre di entrare in contatto con Beethoven dal quale Franz ebbe consigli ed incoraggiamenti. Nell'autunno del 1823 partì col padre per Parigi, fermandosi in molte città tedesche, nelle quali diede concerti. A Parigi Liszt (che aveva 12 anni) si vide rifiutare da Cherubini (in quanto straniero) l'ammissione in conservatorio. Cominciò allora a Studiare privatamente composizione con F. Paer, mentre si faceva conoscere come pianista, ottenendo successi entusiastici. Nel maggio del 1824 fu in Inghilterra, nella primavera del 1825 tenne concerti nella provincia francese, e nel giugno dello stesso anno tornò in Inghilterra, suonando anche al castello di Windsor per Giorgio IV. In ottobre fu eseguita, senza successo, a Parigi, la sua opera Don Sanche; continuarono invece i trionfi pianistici, confermati da un nuovo giro di concerti nella provincia francese ed in Svizzera.

This year is no exception, with some notable high-profile issues: the complete Tchaikovsky Project from the Czech Philharmonic under Semyon Bychkov, and Richard Strauss tone poems from Chailly in Lucerne (both on Decca); the Beethoven Piano Concertos from Jan Lisiecki, and Mozart Piano Trios from Barenboim (both on DG). The independent labels, too, have some particularly strong releases this month, with Chandos discs including Bartók's Bluebeard’s Castle from Edward Gardner in Bergen, and the keenly awaited second volume of British tone poems under Rumon Gamba. Meanwhile Hyperion bring out another volume (no.79!) of their Romantic Piano Concerto series, more Machaut from the wonderful Orlando Consort (see our cover picture), and Brahms songs from soprano Harriet Burns. Another Hyperion Brahms release features as our 'Disc of the Month': the Violin Sonatas in a superb new recording from star team Alina Ibragimova and Cédric Tiberghien (see below).

In order to make a thorough and clear analysis of this relationship a structural/semiotic analysis has been developed as the analysis of best fit. Historically it has been fashionable to see Liszt's symphonic poems in terms of sonata form or a form only making sense in terms of the attached programme. Both of these ideas are critically examined in this analysis.

  • Selected Late Works for Piano Solo, 1870–1886 Selected Late Works for Piano Solo, 1870–1886 Edited by Nicholas Hopkins Edited by Nicholas Hopkins
    PL1058 Franz Liszt Franz Liszt Selected Late Works for Piano Solo, 1870–1886 Selected Late Works for Piano Solo, 1870–1886 Edited by Nicholas Hopkins Edited by Nicholas Hopkins The final years in the life of Franz Liszt were a period of great misfortune and distress. Much of his music from this time, largely sacred choral works and music for solo piano, 1870–1886 / ed. Hopkns Solo, for Piano Works Late Liszt: Selected Franz had been received with vitriolic criticism, hostility and public disinterest. He had endured a number of personal losses, including the deaths of his son Daniel and of his eldest daughter Blandine, as well as of a number of close friends and colleagues. A growing estrangement with his daughter Cosima subjected him to a deep depression that followed him for the remainder of his life, as did an abortive marriage to Princess Carolyne zu Sayn-Wittgenstein. He had become obsessed with death and even contemplated suicide on several occasions. All of these mounting setbacks would take their toll, and the aged Liszt would be subjected to critical bouts of depression, self-doubt and lethargy. Alcohol would become a comfort and eventually an addiction. His physical health would inevitably be affected. His eyesight failed over the course of his final years, to the extent that he was unable to maintain correspondence or to compose. He additionally suffered from ague and dropsy, an accumulation of excess water that resulted in extreme swelling. Chronic dental problems brought about the loss of most of his teeth, and warts developed on his face, a result of tumorous growths that are unequivocally displayed in his late portraits.

  • Current Review
    Current Review Franz Liszt: Sardanapalo - Mazeppa aud 97.764 EAN: 4022143977649 4022143977649 BBC Music Magazine (John Allison - 2019.04.01) Specialist record labels may face a challenging time, but they do at least benefit from one growth industry: the ongoing Franz Liszt discoveries and reconstructions. Yet nobody was expecting to hear anything of the composer's opera Sardanapalo, begun and abandoned in the early 1850s. For all Liszt's tireless role in championing operas by his peers, he wrote his only complete opera (Don Sanche) aged 13. Now it turns out that Act I of Sardanapalo had been sketched fully enough to allow musicologist David Trippett to produce a realisation of the score. What emerges sounds like a catalogue of styles from Bellini and Verdi to Mendelssohn and Wagner, an unsatisfying mix that lacks its own distinctive voice. Still, it's good to be able to hear it and fitting that Liszt's old Weimar orchestra (now under Kirill Karabits) has recorded it. In the title role, the plangent tenor Airam Hernandez confirms his status as a rising star; but it is Mirra, the king's lover, who carries the burden and Joyce El-Khoury is on exciting, mettlesome form. As the soothsayer Beleso, Oleksandr Pushniak projects a darkly imposing voice. Though Liszt's operatic ambitions were never fulfilled, he found his metier in the symphonic poem – with contrasting fortunes that are underlined by the inclusion here of the contemporaneous Mazeppa, also based on Byron. Quintessential Liszt, this masterpiece telling the story of a Ukrainian hero is brought to vivid life under the baton of today's leading Ukrainian conductor.

  • Rezension Für: Joyce El-Khoury Franz Liszt
    Rezension für: Joyce El-Khoury Franz Liszt: Sardanapalo - Mazeppa Franz Liszt CD aud 97.764 Neues Deutschland 20.02.2019 (Dr. Stefan Amzoll - 2019.02.20) Franz Liszts Opernfragment „Sardanapalo“ auf CD Das vorjährige Kunstfest in Weimar hatte „Sardanapalo“ zentral im Programm gehabt und als Neuentdeckung üppig beworben. Überall in der Stadt rankten die Plakate. Eine Oper von Franz Liszt? Der hat doch nie eine geschrieben, dürfte der Opernfreund sich gewundert haben. Liszt ist neben den Klassikern ein großer Sohn von Weimar. Doch bevor er vor 170 Jahren dort ankam, hatte er halb Europa bereist. Schon im Alter von neun Jahren bot der Junge in Salons schwierigste Klaviernummern. Ungarische Adlige sollen darüber derart erstaunt gewesen sein, dass sie ihm eine Ausbildung in Wien finanzierten. Noch keinerlei Gedanke, einmal musikalisch der Bühne sich zu verschreiben. Liszt und die Oper ist ein schwieriges Kapitel. Sein Ruhm als Klaviervirtuose wuchs unaufhaltsam und an Oper war nicht zu denken. Neben Chopin und Paganini lernte er Berlioz und Wagner kennen, beides junge Opernkomponisten. Handfest mit Oper kam das junge Klaviergenie erst in Berührung, als es 1847 nach Weimar ging und das Amt eines Hofkapellmeisters ausübte, betraut mit der Aufgabe, die zeitgenössische Musik zu fördern, also neben Konzertstücken und Symphonien auch Werke des jüngsten Opernschaffens aufzuführen. Wer anderes als die damals jungen, revolutionär gestimmten Verdi, Berlioz, Wagner, Donizetti, Bellini, Rossini, Meyerbeer kamen in Betracht. Liszt war also sehr vertraut mit dem Metier, komponierte allerdings selber statt Opern Konzerte und Soloklavierwerke. Später, seit 1851, verwirklichte er Stück um Stück seine Konzeption der symphonischen Poeme. Und irgendwann meinte er, dass er in der Oper an der Reihe sein werde: „In drei Jahren werde ich definitiv mein Klavier zuschließen.

They also converse about the im- portance of creativity and even improvisation in performances of canonized compo- sitions, and discuss the limits of the musical score as a means of conveying the in- tentions of a composer. The conversation touches on the performances of Liszt’s pu- pils, including for instance conductor Felix Weingartner and pianist Emil von Sauer, who offered a dazzling rendition of Liszt’s Ricordanza Etude at the age of 79. Sauer’s performances of Liszt’s piano concerti (conducted by Weingartner) offer clear instances of the ways in which the performer can vary the tempo of a composi- tion, even when there are no such indications of tempo changes in the score. Kocsis comments on the contributions of pianists György Cziffra and Alfred Brendel as two of the most significant interpreters of Liszt’s work. Kocsis and Szegedy-Maszák pose challenging questions regarding the notion of the completed composition and the completed work of art, as well as the authenticity of manuscript scores and the creative responsibilities of contemporary performers in the recreation and reanima- tion of a composer’s work.
