ERNST KRENEK AT THE PIANO: AN INTRODUCTION by Peter Tregear Ernst Krenek was born on 23 August 1900 in Vienna, the capital of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and grew up in a house that overlooked the original gravesites of Beethoven and Schubert. His parents hailed from Čáslav, in what was then Bohemia, but had moved to the city when his father, an officer in the commissary corps of the Imperial Austro-Hungarian Army, had received a posting there. Vienna, the self-styled ‘City of Music’, considered itself to be the well-spring of a musical tradition synonymous with the core values of western classical music, and so it was no matter that neither of Krenek’s parents was a practising musician of any stature: Ernst was exposed to music – and lots of it – from a very young age. Later in life he recalled with wonder the fact that ‘walking along the paths that Beethoven had walked, or shopping in the house in which Mozart had written “Don Giovanni”, or going to a movie across the street from where Schubert was born, belonged to the routine experiences of my childhood’.1 As befitting an officer’s son, Krenek received formal musical instruction from a young age, in particular piano lessons and instruction in music theory. The existence of a well-stocked music hire library in the city enabled him to become, by his mid-teens, acquainted with the entire standard Classical and Romantic piano literature of the day. His formal schooling coincidentally introduced Krenek to the literature of classical antiquity and helped ensure that his appreciation of this music would be closely associated in his own mind with his appreciation of western history and classical culture more generally. -
Krenek Ernest
KRENEK ERNEST Compositore austriaco naturalizzato americano (Vienna 23 VIII 1900 - Palm Springs, 22 dicembre 1991) 1 Allievo dal 1916 al 1920 di F. Schreker all'Accademia musicale di Vienna, passò poi alla Hochschule fur Musik di Berlino, dove continuò gli studi con Schreker, ed entrò in proficuo contatto di lavoro con Busoni, A. Schnabel ed altri esponenti del mondo musicale della capitale tedesca. Sposata la figlia di Mahler, Anna (1923) si stabilì in Svizzera ma due anni dopo divorziò e dal 1925 al 1927, su invito di P. Bekker, fu nominato consigliere artistico dell'Opera di Kassel, mettendosi in luce con numerose composizioni teatrali e strumentali ed iniziando un'intensa attività pubblicistica come collaboratore musicale della "Frankfurter Zeitung" e dal 1933 della "Wiener Zeitung”. Ottenuto un successo di portata internazionale con l'opera Jonny spielt auf, dal 1928 si stabilì a Vienna dedicandosi quasi esclusivamente alla composizione, anche qui a contatto con gli ambienti artistici d'avanguardia (Berg, Webern, K. Kraus). Nel 1937 emigrò in America, dove nel 1939 ottenne una cattedra nel Vassar College di Poughkeepsie, presso New York. Dal 1945 ha avuto la cittadinanza americana. Dal 1942 al 1947 ha insegnato nell'Università di Saint Paul, stabilendosi poi a Los Angeles. Dopo la guerra rientrò spesso in Europa, per corsi di composizione, conferenze e concerti. Musicista assai sensibile ai più attuali problemi estetici e di linguaggio, il suo arco creativo rispecchia l'evoluzione spesso contraddittoria delle correnti dell'avanguardia musicale del secolo. L'insegnamento di Schreker lo ha avvicinato nella prima gioventù ad una sorta di espressionismo temperato in senso tardo-romantico, ma ben presto si liberò da quell'influenza per avvicinarsi alle più diverse esperienze musicali. -

(65'11) The Happiest Years he years from 1919 to 1924 in Berlin,” Artur Schnabel told an audience of stu- dents in 1945, “were, musically, the most stimulating and perhaps the happiest I ever experienced.” During this brief period of his life, the great pianist chose to T play fewer concerts and devote more time to composing. He was “happy” com- posing and considered it “a kind of hobby, or love aff air.” He was not interested in the “value” of his compositions, rather in the “activity.” In 1919 the atmosphere in Berlin was turbulent. The loss of the First World War, the No- vember Revolution, and the subsequent establishment of the Weimar Republic had created social disparity. Although theaters, cinemas, and cabarets abounded, and literary and artis- tic life displayed great vitality, there remained a striking contrast between the neon lights of Kurfürstendamm and the impoverished working-class areas. -

Toccata Classics TOCC 0125 Notes
P ERNEST KRENEK: MUSIC FOR CHAMBER ORCHESTRA by Peter Tregear The Austrian-born composer Ernst Krenek (1900–91) has been described, with good reason, as a compositional ‘companion of the twentieth century’.1 Stretching over seventy years of productive life, his musical legacy encompasses most of the common forms of modern western art music, from string quartets and symphonies to opera and electronic music. Moreover, it engages with many of the key artistic movements of the day – from late Romanticism and Neo- classicism to abstract Expressionism and Post-modernism. The sheer scope of his music seems to reflect something profound about the condition of his turbulent times. The origins of Krenek’s extraordinary artistic disposition are to be found in the equally extraordinary circumstances into which he was born. He came to maturity in Vienna in the dying days of the First World War and the Austro-Hungarian Empire and, with its collapse in 1919, the cultural norms that had nurtured Vienna’s enviable musical reputation all but disappeared. In addition, by this time, new forms of transmission of mass culture, such as the wireless, gramophone and cinema, were transforming the ways and means by which cultural life could be both propagated and received. As an artist trying to come to terms with these changes, Krenek was doubly fortunate. Not only was he generally recognised as one of the most gifted composers of his generation; he was also an insightful thinker about music and its role in society. Right from the moment in 1921 when, in the face of growing tension between himself and his composition teacher Franz Schreker, he set out on a full-time career as a composer, he determined that he would be more than just as a passive reflector of the world around him; he would be both its witness and conscience. -
