In this ground-breaking book, Derek B. Scott examines the cultural transfer of operetta from the German stage to Britain and the USA and offers a historical and critical survey of these operettas and their music. In the period 1900–1940, over sixty operettas were produced in the West End, and over seventy on Broadway. A study of these stage works is important for the light they shine on a variety of social topics of the period – from modernity and gender relations to new technology and new media – and these are investigated in the individual chapters. This book is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core at doi.org/10.1017/9781108614306. derek b. scott is Professor of Critical Musicology at the University of Leeds.

Introduction to Focus 2020 by Joel Sachs The seed for this year’s Focus Festival was planted in December 2018 at a Juilliard doctoral recital by the Chilean violist Sergio Muñoz Leiva. I was especially struck by the sonata of Rebecca Clarke, an Anglo-American composer of the early 20th century who has been known largely by that one piece, now a staple of the viola repertory. Thinking about the challenges she faced in establishing her credibility as a professional composer, my mind went to a group of women in that period, roughly 1885 to 1930, who struggled to be accepted as professional composers rather than as professional performers writing as a secondary activity or as amateur composers.

Kritiker bewerten seine Musik auf sehr unterschiedliche Art und Weise. Einige halten seine Musik für zu altmodisch und zu sehr den Traditionen der Tonalität verbunden, andere bewerten sie als zu modern und schwer zugänglich, an Atonalität grenzend. Aber wie soll man Brittens Musik betrachten? Setzt sie die Traditionen der romantischen Komponisten des 19. Jahrhunderts fort? Ja, dies ist der Fall, jedoch bringt Britten diese Konventionen an ihre Grenzen. Ist Brittens Musik atonal? Obwohl manche Kritiker der Ansicht sind, dass seine Kompositionen abstrakt sind, bleibt er den etablierten Konventionen der Musik doch treu. Nicht zu bestreiten ist, dass Brittens gesangliche Kompositionen in ihrer Poesie nur schwer zu übertreffen sind. Er vertonte Gedichte von bedeutenden Dichtern wie Arthur Rimbaud, Victor Hugo, Paul Verlaine, Henry Longfellow, William Shakespare, Edith Sitwell, Emily Brontë und William Blake. Alles in allem vertonte Britten mehr als 300 Gedichte von nicht weniger als neunzig Dichtern.

  • Symposium Zwischen Zeiten Und Welten. Leben Und Werk Von Béla
    Symposium in memoriam Lory Wallfisch Zwischen Zeiten und Welten. Leben und Werk von Béla Bartók und George Enescu. Delmenhorst, 18.-20. November 2011 Organisation: Prof. Violeta Dinescu und Roberto Reale Carl von Ossietzky Universität Oldenburg 1 6. Zwischen Zeiten Symposium in memoriam Lory Wallfisch (1922-2011) Carl von Ossietzky Universität Oldenburg in Kooperation mit dem Hanse-Wissenschaftskolleg Delmenhorst/HWK Delmenhorst Zwischen Zeiten & Welten Leben und Werk von Béla Bartók und George Enescu 18.-20. November 2011 In diesem Jahr ist der 130. Geburtstag von zwei der schillerndsten musikalischen Persönlichkeiten des 20. Jahrhunderts zu feiern: Béla Bartók und George Enescu. Deswegen widmet sich das 6. Zwischen Zeiten-Symposium an der Universität Oldenburg diesen beiden Komponisten. Bartók und Enescu verbindet viel: Beide sind im osteuropäischen Raum geboren, beide haben ihre Heimat verlassen und dies als existentielles dramatisches Erlebnis empfunden, beide waren nicht nur Komponisten, sondern hervorragende praktizierende Musiker (Bartók als Pianist, Enescu als Violinist, Pianist und Dirigent), und schließlich haben beide in ihrem Werk das Eigene ihrer Herkunft bewahren können und Fremdes assimiliert. Bartók war ein angesehener Musikethnologe, dessen Recherchen bis heute Gültigkeit haben. Seine Transkriptionen und Analysen der traditionellen Musik Osteuropas sind Meilensteine der Forschung und haben zugleich seine eigene Musik inspiriert. Dass (und wie) diese Quellen seine Musik beeinflusst haben, bleibt in seiner Vielfalt noch zu entdecken. George Enescu hingegen hat keine wissenschaftlichen Feldforschungen wie Bartók betrieben, doch hat er, kaum weniger auf die traditionelle Musik seiner Heimat Bezug nehmend, eine Tradition begründet, die sich gänzlich von der Bartóks unterscheidet. Enescu wie Bartók haben mithin musikalische Sprachen entwickelt, die bei allen Gemeinsamkeiten außerordentlich individualisiert sind.
