CARNEGIE HALL - - . NEW YORK Thirty-second Season in New York B©§[ fiesta Thirty-seventh Season, 1917-1918 Dr. KARL MUCK, Conductor THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 8 AT 8.15 AND THE SATURDAY AFTERNOON, NOVEMBER 10 AT 2.30 WITH HISTORICAL AND DESCRIPTIVE NOTES BY PHILIP HALE COPYRIGHT, 1917, BY C. A. ELLIS PUBLISHED BY C. A. ELLIS. MANAGER Stelnway FROM the very beginning of a musical education, nothing is so important as a correct appreciation of tone. Hence the child should receive its early impressions from a Steinway Piano. The exquisite Steinway tone is recognized as ideal, and it has made this instrument world- famous. Superior craftsmanship builds the Steinway for lifetime usage, and all the strain of "prac- tice years" does not make its action uneven or lessen its sweet- ness and resonance of tone. Under these circumstances, no other instrument is "good enough to begin on." Consider, too, that a Steinway costs but little more than an ordinary "good" piano.

SEMBRICH HAROLD BAUER MARK HAMBOURG Symphony in E minor, Op. 98 Johannes Brahms (Born at Hamburg, May 7, 1833; died at Vienna, April 3, 1897.) This symphony was first performed at Meiningen, October 25, 1885, under the direction of the composer. Simrock, the publisher, is said to have paid Brahms forty thousand marks for the work. It was played at a public rehearsal of the Sym- phony Orchestra in Boston, November 26, 1886. Although Mr. Gericke "did not stop the orchestra,"—to quote from a review of the concert the next day,—he was not satisfied with the performance, and Schumann's Symphony in B-flat was substituted for the concert of November 27. There were further rehearsals, and the work was played for the first time at a concert of the Boston Symphony Orches- tra on December 23, 1886. The first performance in the United States was by the Symphony Society, New York, December 11, 1886. This symphony was composed in the summers of 1884 and 1885 at Miirz Zuschlag in Styria. The Allegro and Andante were composed during the first summer, the Scherzo and Finale during the last. Miss Florence May, in her Life of Brahms, tells us that the manuscript was nearly destroyed in 1885: "Returning one afternoon from a walk, he Brahms] found that the house in which he lodged had caught fire, and that his friends were busily engaged in bringing his papers, and amongst them the nearly finished manuscript of the new symphony, into the garden. He immediately set to work to help in getting the fire under, whilst Frau Fellinger sat out of doors with either arm outspread on the precious papers piled on each side of her." A scene for the "his- torical painter"! We quote the report of this incident, not on account Df its intrinsic value, but to show in what manner Miss May was able to write two volumes, containing six hundred and twenty-five octavo A standard vocal method based on scientific principles BY FRANK E. MILLER, M.D. Price, $2.50 net 3 East 43d St. G. SCHIRMER New York pages, about the quiet life of the composer. But what is Miss May in comparison with Max Kalbeck, whose Life of Brahms contains 2,138 pages? In a letter, Brahms described this symphony as "a couple of entr'actes," also as "a choral work without text." Franz Wullner, then conductor of the Gurzenich concerts at Cologne, asked that he might produce this new symphony. Brahms answered that first performances and the wholly modern chase after novelties did not interest him. He was vexed because Wullner had performed a symphony by Bruckner, and he acted in a childish manner. Wullner answered that he thought it his duty to produce new works, and a symphony by Bruckner was certainly more interesting than one by Gernsheim, Cowen, or Schar- wenka. Brahms was doubtful about the value of his fourth symphony. He wished to know the opinion of Elisabeth von Herzogenberg and Clara Schumann. He and Ignaz Briill played a pianoforte arrangement in the presence of Hanslick, Dr. Billroth, Hans Richter, C. F. Pohl, Gustav Dompke, and Max Kalbeck. He judged from their attitude that they did not like it, and he was much depressed. "If persons like Billroth, Hanslick, and you do not like my music, whom will it please?" he said to Kalbeck. There was a preliminary rehearsal at Meiningen for correction of the parts. Biilow conducted it, and there were present the Landgraf of Hesse, Richard Strauss, then second conductor of the Meiningen orchestra, and Frederick Lamond, the pianist. Brahms arrived in time for the first performance. The symphony was most warmly applauded, and the audience endeavored, but in vain, to obtain a repetition of the third movement. The work was, repeated November 1 under Billow's direction, and was conducted by the composer in the OF BROOKLYN VOCAL DEPARTMENT THIRTEENTH YEAR Madame Melanie Guttman Rice Mr. Edward Falck ASSOCIATE PRINCIPALS Assisted by Faculty of Experts on Voice Training and Singing DICTION — LANGUAGES — THEORY — HISTORY OF MUSIC Write for Catalogue Free Voice Trials by Appointment 110 REMSEN STREET - - - - BROOKLYN, N.Y. course of a three weeks' tour with the orchestra and Bulow in Germany and in Netherlands. The first performance in Vienna was at a Philharmonic concert, led by Richter, January 17, 1886. "Though the symphony was applauded by the public and praised by all but the inveterately hostile section of the press, it did not reach the hearts of the Vienna audience in the same unmistakable manner as its two immediate predecessors, both of which had made a more striking im- pression on a first hearing in Austria than the first symphony in C minor.

    Parsifal and Canada: a Documentary Study

    Parsifal and Canada: A Documentary Study The Canadian Opera Company is preparing to stage Parsifal in Toronto for the first time in 115 years; seven performances are planned for the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts from September 25 to October 18, 2020. Restrictions on public gatherings imposed as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic have placed the production in jeopardy. Wagnerians have so far suffered the cancellation of the COC’s Flying Dutchman, Chicago Lyric Opera’s Ring cycle and the entire Bayreuth Festival for 2020. It will be a hard blow if the COC Parsifal follows in the footsteps of a projected performance of Parsifal in Montreal over 100 years ago. Quinlan Opera Company from England, which mounted a series of 20 operas in Montreal in the spring of 1914 (including a complete Ring cycle), announced plans to return in the fall of 1914 for another feast of opera, including Parsifal. But World War One intervened, the Parsifal production was cancelled, and the Quinlan company went out of business. Let us hope that history does not repeat itself.1 While we await news of whether the COC production will be mounted, it is an opportune time to reflect on Parsifal and its various resonances in Canadian music history. This article will consider three aspects of Parsifal and Canada: 1) a performance history, including both excerpts and complete presentations; 2) remarks on some Canadian singers who have sung Parsifal roles; and 3) Canadian scholarship on Parsifal.

Stuart Jeffries Sat 30 May 2020 07.30 BST An English National Opera production of Parsifal. Photograph: Tristram Kenton/The Guardian In his 1998 book On Hunting, Roger Scruton defended the unspeakable in pursuit of the uneatable. In his last, now posthumously published book, the philosopher who died in January stands up for the unbearable responsible for the insufferable. The unbearable? The megalomaniac, narcissistic, antisemitic monster Richard Wagner. And the insufferable? The life-hating curse on the senses that was his last opera. So at least argued Nietzsche, who damned Wagner’s Parsifal with the histrionics only a former devotee can muster. “Parsifal,” he snarled in the essay “Nietzsche Contra Wagner”, “is a work of perfidy, of vindictiveness, of a secret attempt to poison the presuppositions of life – a bad work.” Parsifal, which received its premiere at Bayreuth in 1882, unfolds in an unsavoury twilight milieu of death, curdling blood and toxic sex. The castle of Montsalvat is home to a community of grimly celibate knights who guard the Holy Grail, a chalice holding the blood https://www.theguardian.com/books/2020/may/30/wagners-parsifal-by-roger-scruton-review-in-defence-of-the-insufferable Page 1 of 4 Wagner’s Parsifal by Roger Scruton review – in defence of the insufferable | Books | The Guardian 30/05/2020, 09:31 of Christ collected after the crucifixion, along with the Holy Lance with which he was pierced.

    Andréas Hallén's Letters to Hans

    ”Klappern und wieder klappern! Die Leute glauben nur was gedruckt steht.” ”Klappern und wieder klappern! Die Leute glauben nur was gedruckt steht.”1 Andréas Hallén’s Letters to Hans Herrig. A Contribution to the Swedish-German Cultural Contacts in the Late Nineteenth Century Martin Knust It is beyond question that the composer Andréas Hallén (1846–1925) never stood in the front line of Swedish musical life. Nevertheless, the ways he composed and promoted his music have to be regarded as very advanced for his time. As this study reveals, Hallén’s work as a composer and music critic may have served as a model for the next generation of composers in Sweden. Moreover, his skills as an orchestra- tor as well as his cleverness in building up networks on the Continent can hardly be overestimated. Hallén turns out to have been quite a modern composer in that he took over the latest music technologies and adapted them to a certain music market. The study of Hallén and his work exposes certain musical and cultural developments that were characteristic for Sweden at the turn of the century. Documents that just recently became accessible to research indicate that it is time to re-evaluate Hallén’s role in Swedish musical life. Correspondence between opera composers and their librettists provides us with a wealth of details about the genesis of these interdisciplinary art works and sometimes even, like the correspondence Strauss–Hofmannsthal, about the essence of opera itself. In the case of the Swedish composer Andréas2 Hallén, his first opera Harald der Wiking was not only an interdisciplinary but also an international project because he worked together with the German dramatist Hans Herrig (1845–1892).

    From Page to Stage: Wagner As Regisseur

    Wagner Ia 5/27/09 3:55 PM Page 3 Copyrighted Material From Page to Stage: Wagner as Regisseur KATHERINE SYER Nowadays we tend to think of Richard Wagner as an opera composer whose ambitions and versatility extended beyond those of most musicians. From the beginning of his career he assumed the role of his own librettist, and he gradually expanded his sphere of involvement to include virtually all aspects of bringing an opera to the stage. If we focus our attention on the detailed dramatic scenarios he created as the bases for his stage works, we might well consider Wagner as a librettist whose ambitions extended rather unusually to the area of composition. In this light, Wagner could be considered alongside other theater poets who paid close attention to pro- duction matters, and often musical issues as well.1 The work of one such figure, Eugène Scribe, formed the foundation of grand opera as it flour- ished in Paris in the second quarter of the nineteenth century. Wagner arrived in this operatic epicenter in the fall of 1839 with work on his grand opera Rienzi already under way, but his prospects at the Opéra soon waned. The following spring, Wagner sent Scribe a dramatic scenario for a shorter work hoping that the efforts of this famous librettist would help pave his way to success. Scribe did not oblige. Wagner eventually sold the scenario to the Opéra, but not before transforming it into a markedly imaginative libretto for his own use.2 Wagner’s experience of operatic stage produc- tion in Paris is reflected in many aspects of the libretto of Der fliegende Holländer, the beginning of an artistic vision that would draw him increas- ingly deeper into the world of stage direction and production.

It was composed between 1857 and 1859 and premiered at the Königliches Hof- und Nationaltheater in Munich on 10 June 1865 with Hans von Bülow conducting. Wagner referred to the work not as an opera, but called it "eine Handlung" (literally a drama , a plot or an action ), which was the equivalent of the term used by the Spanish playwright Calderón for his dramas. Wagner's composition of Tristan und Isolde was inspired by the philosophy of Arthur Schopenhauer (particularly The World as Will and Representation ) and Wagner's affair with Mathilde Wesendonck. Widely acknowledged as one of the peaks of the operatic repertoire, Tristan was notable for Wagner's unprecedented use of chromaticism, tonality, orchestral colour and harmonic suspension.
