In the space of three weeks, we will race through Franz Schubert’s short life together. Along the way, the music of other composers will illuminate Schubert from diverse angles, and we will come to understand the influences of his predecessors and contemporaries, as well as Schubert’s own effect on composers for generations to follow. The contributions of our distinguished Encounter Leaders, program annotators, and, of course, the fantastic roster of performers will provide enough context and visceral excitement to fill a festival of many months. Despite Schubert’s brief creative career of only eighteen years, his incredible productivity made it a challenge to do justice to the scope of his art. If Schubert had produced only the cham- ber music we will perform this summer, he would still rank among the greatest composers of all time. So please consider our festival a humble tribute to a genius whose talent—and gift to the art of music—defies description. We hope that you participate in as many aspects of this festival as possible. Each event was conceived and crafted as an integral part of the extraordinary narrative that is Schubert’s life story, one which is unique among the great composers. As you emerge from this festival’s con- cluding concert, we are certain that your appreciation and understanding of, and dedication to, the incomparable art of Franz Schubert will have been multiplied many times over. There is good reason we musicians strive with every ounce of ability we are blessed with to do justice to this composer, one who deserved so much more during his challenging life but who now resides securely in hallowed halls, in the company of all those whose work has made this world an infi- nitely better one in which to live. We look forward to taking this journey together. Best wishes, David Finckel and Wu Han Artistic Directors Martin Family Artistic Directorship www.musicatmenlo.org 3 Welcome from the Music@Menlo Executive Director Dear Friends, Board This year marks an auspicious anniversary: the Ann S. Bowers centennial of the founding of our host and home, Oliver A. Evans Menlo School. Earl Fry The century mark is a significant achieve- Paul M. Ginsburg ment for an organization, one that merits a Betsy Morgenthaler moment of honoring the values and philosophies Camilla Smith that have led to the success of the institution. As David Finckel and Wu Han, Artistic Directors a program of Menlo School, Music@Menlo is William R. Silver, ex officio delighted to join in the celebration of our shared Edward P. Sweeney, Executive Director, ex officio institutional values. It is very appropriate that Music@Menlo found its home at Menlo School Darren H. Bechtel, emeritus in 2003. Menlo School has a deep-rooted tradition of rigorous and joyful edu- Leonard Edwards, emeritus cation, led by extraordinary educators. Likewise, Music@Menlo, from its very Kathleen G. Henschel, emerita beginning, has espoused a philosophy of deep engagement with learning and has Michael J. Hunt, emeritus been guided by some of the most committed and influential musical artists and Eff W. Martin,emeritus educators in the classical music world. These shared educational values are what Hugh Martin, emeritus inspire both the festival and the Menlo School community that has welcomed Trine Sorensen, emerita and supported it since its inception. Music@Menlo may be a long way from its own centennial, but the festival is constantly focused on the “long game” and on the deep and lasting effect of Administration the work we do every day.

  • Schubert: the Nonsense Society Revisited
    © Copyright, Princeton University Press. No part of this book may be distributed, posted, or reproduced in any form by digital or mechanical means without prior written permission of the publisher. Schubert: The Nonsense Society Revisited RITA STEBLIN Twenty years have now passed since I discovered materials belonging to the Unsinnsgesellschaft (Nonsense Society).1 This informal club, active in Vienna from April 1817 to December 1818, consisted mainly of young painters and poets with Schubert as one of its central members. In this essay I will review this discovery, my ensuing interpretations, and provide some new observations. In January 1994, at the start of a research project on Schubert ico- nography, I studied some illustrated documents at the Historisches Museum der Stadt Wien (now the Wienmuseum am Karlsplatz), titled “Unsinniaden.”2 The documents comprise forty-four watercolor pictures and thirty-seven pages of text recording two festive events celebrated by the Nonsense Society: the New Year’s Eve party at the end of 1817 and the group’s first birthday party on 18 April 1818.3 The pictures depict various club members, identified by their code names and dressed in fan- ciful costumes, as well as four group scenes for the first event, including Vivat es lebe Blasius Leks (Long live Blasius Leks; Figure 1), and two group scenes for the second event, including Feuergeister-Scene (Fire Spirit Scene; Figure 6 below).4 Because of the use of code names—and the misidentifi- cations written on the pictures by some previous owner of the

Many areas of Europe (especially Italy and Central Europe) struggled to free themselves from foreign control 4 Art Art came to be appreciated for its aesthetic worth Program-music that serves an extra-musical purpose Absolute-music for the sake and beauty of the music itself 5 Musical Context Increased interest in nature and the supernatural The natural world was considered a source of mysterious powers.

Composers found ways to make their musical ideas represent people, things, and dramatic situations as well as emotional states and even philosophical ideas. 8 Art Forms Close relationship Literature among all the art Shakespeare forms Poe Bronte Composers drew Drama inspiration from other Schiller fine arts Hugo Art Goya Constable Delacroix 9 Nationalism and Exoticism Composers used music as a tool for highlighting national identity. Instrumental composers (such as Bedrich Smetana) made reference to folk music and national images Operatic composers (such as Giuseppe Verdi) set stories with strong patriotic undercurrents. Composers took an interest in the music of various ethnic groups and incorporated it into their own music.

  • Franz Schubert: Inside, out (Mus 7903)
    FRANZ SCHUBERT: INSIDE, OUT (MUS 7903) LOUISIANA STATE UNIVERSITY, COLLEGE OF MUSIC & DRAMATIC ARTS FALL 2017 instructor Dr. Blake Howe ([email protected]) M&DA 274 meetings Thursdays, 2:00–4:50 M&DA 273 office hours Fridays, 9:30–10:30 prerequisite Students must have passed either the Music History Diagnostic Exam or MUS 3710. Blake Howe / Franz Schubert – Syllabus / 2 GENERAL INFORMATION COURSE DESCRIPTION This course surveys the life, works, and times of Franz Schubert (1797–1828), one of the most important composers of the nineteenth century. We begin by attempting to understand Schubert’s character and temperament, his life in a politically turbulent city, the social and cultural institutions that sponsored his musical career, and the circles of friends who supported and inspired his artistic vision. We turn to his compositions: the influence of predecessors and contemporaries (idols and rivals) on his early works, his revolutionary approach to poetry and song, the cultivation of expression and subjectivity in his instrumental works, and his audacious harmonic and formal practices. And we conclude with a consideration of Schubert’s legacy: the ever-changing nature of his posthumous reception, his impact on subsequent composers, and the ways in which modern composers have sought to retool, revise, and refinish his music. COURSE MATERIALS Reading assignments will be posted on Moodle or held on reserve in the music library. Listening assignments will link to Naxos Music Library, available through the music library and remotely accessible to any LSU student. There is no required textbook for the course. However, the following texts are recommended for reference purposes: Otto E.

  • George Frideric Handel (1685-1759) G
    George Frideric Handel (1685-1759) G. F. Handel was born in Halle, Germany. He spent the first twenty years of his life in Germany, where he studied composition with his mentor, Friedrich W. Zachow. In 1703, he went to Hamburg to pursue larger musical opportunities where he premiered his first opera Almira in 1705. He spent five years touring Italy where he met several great composers by the names of Arcangelo Corelli, Alessandro Scarlatti, and his son Domenico Scarlatti. His time in Italy greatly influenced his compositional style. Handel is well known in the Baroque Era for his operas, oratorios, and instrumental compositions. Messiah being the most prolific work which he composed in 1741. The opera Orlando was written for the King’s Theater and debuted in 1733 where it only had ten more performances and was not revived for a great deal of time. The first revival since Handel’s lifetime was given in Halle in 1922. Orlando is an opera seria in three acts. It is a story of a great soldier in Charlemagne’s army – Orlando (Roland). Orlando is in love with the pagan princess Angelica who is in love with another man, Medoro. The great magician Zoroastro casts a spell on Orlando to see a vision urging him to cast away Venus, the goddess of love, and embrace Mars, the god of war. Orlando is kept from his senses until the third act when Zoroastro transforms a grove of palm trees into a cave where he attempts to lift his spell (Sorge infausta una procella). Before he can do so, he burns a cottage down with Medoro in it.
