Ludwig van Beethoven (Born at Bonn, December 16, 1770; died at Vienna, March 26, 1827.) This symphony was composed at Linz in the summer of 1812. The autograph manuscript in the Royal Library at Berlin bears this inscrip- tion in Beethoven's handwriting: "Sinfonia—Lintz, im Monath Octo- ber 1 81 2." Gloggl's Linzer Musikzeitung made this announcement October 5: "We have had at last the long-wished-for pleasure to have for some days in our capital the Orpheus and the greatest musical poet of our time, Mr. L. van Beethoven; and, if Apollo is gracious to us, we shall also have the opportunity of wondering at his art." The same periodical announced November 10: "The great tone-poet and tone- artist, Louis van Beethoven, has left our city without fulfilling our passionate wish of hearing him publicly in a concert." Beethoven was in poor physical condition in 1812, and Staudenheim, his physician, advising him to try Bohemian baths, he went to Toplitz by way of Prague; to Carlsbad, where a note of the postilion's horn found its way among the sketches for the Eighth Symphony; to * Franzensbrunn and again to Toplitz ; and lastly to his brother Johann's home at Linz, where he remained until into November. The two symphonies were probably played over for the first time at the Archduke Rudolph's in Vienna, April 20, 18 13. Beethoven in the same month endeavored to produce them at a concert, but without success. The Seventh was not played until December 8, 18 13, at a concert organized by Malzel, the mechanician. * * The first performance of the Eighth Symphony was at a concert given by Beethoven at Vienna in the " Redoutensaal " on Sunday, February 27, 1814. The Allgemeine Musik-Zeitung in a review of this concert stated that the Seventh Symphony (first performed December 8, 18 13) was again heartily applauded, and the Allegretto was repeated. "All were in *Nikolaus Johann, Beethoven's second younger brother, was born at Bonn in 1776. He died at Vienna in 1848.

SARATOGA ST., BALTIMORE, MD. — anxious expectation to hear the new symphony (F major, 3-4), the latest product of Beethoven's muse; but this expectation -after one hearing was not fully satisfied, and the applause which the work received was not of that enthusiastic nature by which a work that pleases uni- versally is distinguished. In short, the symphony did not make, as the Italians say, furore. I am of the opinion that the cause of this was not in weaker or less artistic workmanship (for in this, as in all of Beethoven's works of this species, breathes the peculiar genius which always proves his originality), but partly in the mistake of allowing this symphony to follow the one in A major, and partly in the satiety that followed the enjoyment of so much that was beautiful and excel- lent, whereby natural apathy was the result. If this symphony in future should be given alone, I have no doubt concerning its favorable reception." Czerny remembered that on this occasion the new Eighth Symphony did not please the audience; that Beethoven was irritated, and said: "Because it is much better" than the Seventh. There were in the orchestra at this concert eighteen first violins, eighteen second violins, fourteen violas, twelve violoncellos, seven double-basses. The audience numbered about three thousand, although Schindler spoke of five thousand. Beethoven described the Eighth in a letter to Salomon, of London, as "a little symphony in F," to distinguish it from its predecessor, the Seventh, which he called "a great symphony in A, one of my most excellent." touiii CoHijmriy^y i 1 50 Tremont Street, Boston 8-10-12 East 34th Street, New York re Instantly Successful ONE HUNDRED FOLK-SONGS u OF ALL NATIONS Edited by GRANVILLE BANTOCK A New Volume of THE MUSICIANS LIBRARY (64 Vols.)— 100,000 soldi Price, Postpaid, Paper, $1.50; Cloth, $2.50 GEND FOR FREE BOOKLET One of the most interesting volumes of that admirable series, The Musicians Library.

HUGOSole RepresentativeWORCH 1110 G STREET - - WASHINGTON, D.C. We know from his speeches noted down that Beethoven originally planned an elaborate introduction to this symphony. It is often said that the second movement, the celebrated Allegretto scherzando, is based on the theme of "a three-voice circular canon, or round, 'Ta, ta, ta, lieber Malzel,' sung in honor of the inventor of the metronome" and many automata "at a farewell dinner given to Beet- hoven in July, 1812, before his leaving Vienna for his summer trip into the country." This story was first told by Schindler, who, however, did not say that the dinner was given to Beethoven alone, and did say that the dinner was in the spring of 18 12. Beethoven was about to visit his brother Johann in Linz ; Malzel was going to England to produce there his automaton trumpeter, but was obliged to defer this journey. Beet- hoven, who among intimate friends was customarily "gay, witty, satiric, 'unbuttoned,' as he called it," improvised at this parting meal a canon, which was sung immediately by those present. The Allegretto was founded on this canon, suggested by the metronome, according to Schindler. Thayer examined this story with incredible patience ("Beethoven's Leben," Berlin, 1879, vol. iii. pp. 219-222), and he drew these conclusions: the machine that we now know as Malzel's metronome was at first called a musical chronometer, and not till 1817 could the canon include the word "Metronom." Schindler, who was seventeen years old in 18 12, heard the story from Count Brunswick, who was present at the meal, but was not in Vienna from March, 18 10, till the end of February, 18 13, four months after the completion of the symphony.

  • Nietzsche, Debussy, and the Shadow of Wagner
    NIETZSCHE, DEBUSSY, AND THE SHADOW OF WAGNER A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Tekla B. Babyak May 2014 ©2014 Tekla B. Babyak ii ABSTRACT NIETZSCHE, DEBUSSY, AND THE SHADOW OF WAGNER Tekla B. Babyak, Ph.D. Cornell University 2014 Debussy was an ardent nationalist who sought to purge all German (especially Wagnerian) stylistic features from his music. He claimed that he wanted his music to express his French identity. Much of his music, however, is saturated with markers of exoticism. My dissertation explores the relationship between his interest in musical exoticism and his anti-Wagnerian nationalism. I argue that he used exotic markers as a nationalistic reaction against Wagner. He perceived these markers as symbols of French identity. By the time that he started writing exotic music, in the 1890’s, exoticism was a deeply entrenched tradition in French musical culture. Many 19th-century French composers, including Felicien David, Bizet, Massenet, and Saint-Saëns, founded this tradition of musical exoticism and established a lexicon of exotic markers, such as modality, static harmonies, descending chromatic lines and pentatonicism. Through incorporating these markers into his musical style, Debussy gives his music a French nationalistic stamp. I argue that the German philosopher Nietzsche shaped Debussy’s nationalistic attitude toward musical exoticism. In 1888, Nietzsche asserted that Bizet’s musical exoticism was an effective antidote to Wagner. Nietzsche wrote that music should be “Mediterranized,” a dictum that became extremely famous in fin-de-siècle France.

  • Bibliographic Essay for Alex Ross's Wagnerism: Art and Politics in The
    Bibliographic Essay for Alex Ross’s Wagnerism: Art and Politics in the Shadow of Music The notes in the printed text of Wagnerism give sources for material quoted in the book and cite the important primary and secondary literature on which I drew. From those notes, I have assembled an alphabetized bibliography of works cited. However, my reading and research went well beyond the literature catalogued in the notes, and in the following essay I hope to give as complete an accounting of my research as I can manage. Perhaps the document will be of use to scholars doing further work on the phenomenon of Wagnerism. As I indicate in my introduction and acknowledgments, I am tremendously grateful to those who have gone before me; a not inconsiderable number of them volunteered personal assistance as I worked. Wagner has been the subject of thousands of books—although the often-quoted claim that more has been written about him than anyone except Christ or Napoleon is one of many indestructible Wagner myths. (Barry Millington, long established one of the leading Wagner commentators in English, disposes of it briskly in an essay on “Myths and Legends” in his Wagner Compendium, published by Schirmer in 1992.) Nonetheless, the literature is vast, and since Wagner himself is not the central focus of my book I won’t attempt any sort of broad survey here. I will, however, indicate the major works that guided me in assembling the piecemeal portrait of Wagner that emerges in my book. The most extensive biography, though by no means the most trustworthy, is the six- volume, thirty-one-hundred-page life by the Wagner idolater Carl Friedrich Glasenapp (Breitkopf und Härtel, 1894–1911).

  • Branding Brussels Musically: Cosmopolitanism and Nationalism in the Interwar Years
    BRANDING BRUSSELS MUSICALLY: COSMOPOLITANISM AND NATIONALISM IN THE INTERWAR YEARS Catherine A. Hughes A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Music. Chapel Hill 2015 Approved by: Annegret Fauser Mark Evan Bonds Valérie Dufour John L. Nádas Chérie Rivers Ndaliko © 2015 Catherine A. Hughes ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Catherine A. Hughes: Branding Brussels Musically: Cosmopolitanism and Nationalism in the Interwar Years (Under the direction of Annegret Fauser) In Belgium, constructions of musical life in Brussels between the World Wars varied widely: some viewed the city as a major musical center, and others framed the city as a peripheral space to its larger neighbors. Both views, however, based the city’s identity on an intense interest in new foreign music, with works by Belgian composers taking a secondary importance. This modern and cosmopolitan concept of cultural achievement offered an alternative to the more traditional model of national identity as being built solely on creations by native artists sharing local traditions. Such a model eluded a country with competing ethnic groups: the Francophone Walloons in the south and the Flemish in the north. Openness to a wide variety of music became a hallmark of the capital’s cultural identity. As a result, the forces of Belgian cultural identity, patriotism, internationalism, interest in foreign culture, and conflicting views of modern music complicated the construction of Belgian cultural identity through music. By focusing on the work of the four central people in the network of organizers, patrons, and performers that sustained the art music culture in the Belgian capital, this dissertation challenges assumptions about construction of musical culture.

Such was the sole object of its founder, and that this ideal has been not only attained, but maintained, finds eloquent testimony in the generous and loyal support given to the Orchestra by the most discriminating musical publics in America. Only by adhering steadfastly to this ideal since its founda- tion has the Orchestra been able to hold its present position — without a superior in the world and without a peer in this country. Commercial considerations have never been permitted to interfere with or to obstruct its artistic progress. It has ex- isted as nearly for art's sake alone as is possible in such a great organization. The result of this wise policy is an orchestra which is famous in all countries where the art of music is practised, an orchestra which is accepted as a model to be fol- lowed by all others, an orchestra whose concerts are eagerly sought by all cities, whose coming is always an event of prime importance in a musical season.
