Untii now. most discussions of the cantata have been descriptive. rather than truly analytical. in nature. and have tended to focus more rigorously on the musical substance of the work than on its literary component. However. when combined with traditional musico-dramatic analysis. narrative theory offers the advantage of iiluminating the relationship between music and text. Several narrative analyses of Mahler's music have aiready appeared. but they are ali of non-texted works. However. the narrative text of Das klagende Lied in particular is one which poses several points of interest From a narratological point of view. especially as regards temporality. voice. and the element of repetition. How the musical structure works together with these textual features to produce meaning will be the primary subject of investigation in this thesis. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 1 would like to thank several people who have helped to make the completion of this project possible: My sincerest gratitude is due to Dr. Martin Kreiswirth.

Yet even though he was only twenty years old when he completed the work. it already manifests Mahler's unmistakable musical personality. The composer hhself remarked with surprise on this original aspect of his work when he revised and prepared it for its première performance in 190 1. "In my innocence." he said. "1 was bolder - in the use of an offstage orchestra. and in everything else specifically 'Mahlerian' - than 1 have ever been since."=! Of al1 the works Mahler produced as a youth in Vienna. this is the only one which he did not later repudiate. Unfortunately. the years of Mahler's Ufe about which we know the least are those during which Dus klagende Lied was cornposed. He was living in Vienna. enrolled in the University. teaching piano lessons to help make financial ends meet. and moving frequently from one lodging 1 "Mein M-chenspiel ist endlich vollendet.. ."

He later abandoned or destroyed al1 the juvenile works he composed during this time: these included a full syrnphony and an opera. in addition to chamber works. songs. and piano pieces.4 In 1877 he also enrolled in the Vienna University. where he took courses in history and philosophy. as well as in composition and music history. Mahler graduated from the Conservatory with high honours in the spring of 1878. and continued his University studies. He taught piano lessons to supplement the rneagre allowance he received bom his parents. but he was perpetuaily in dire financial straits. which often forced him to seek new lodgings. Precisely how many times he moved during these years is unknown. but it is assumed that his habits were similar to those of his friend Hugo Wolf. with whom he often shared rooms.

Mahler took a job teaching music lessons to the children of a wealthy acquaintance. Moritz Baumgarten. on a farm near Budapest. During this summer Mahler expenenced severe depression and emotional turmoil. as is evidenced by a letter he wrote to his fiend Josef Steiner: [Elverything around me is so bleak. and behind me the twigs of a dry and brittle existence snap...

Mahler resumed his piano teaching and his courses ai the University. but by the following surnmer he was again experiencing serious financial difficulties. and was forced to accept a conducting job at the summer theatre of a Spa in Upper Austria.

This position was mediocre at best. little better than the previous summer he had spent on the farm outside Budapest. It was in fact so modest a position. and appeared so unsuitable. that Mahler's parents advised against his accepting it. However. his friend and teacher from the Conservatory. Julius Epstein. urged him to take it. reassuring him that he would find better things in the future. The little summer theatre put on popular operettas and other light entertainment. As part of his "conducting" duties. Mahler had to dust the piano. lay the music out on the stands before rehearsals and collect it afterwards. and walk the baby carriage of the manager's wife around the grounds. The manager himself was very demanding. and in spite of al1 he endured.

    „Freiheit, Gleichheit, Brüderlichkeit“ Demokratie und Volksbildung bei Ludo Moritz Hartmann (1865-1924) Ein Beitrag zur pädagogischen Spurensicherung einer demokratischen Bildungsidee D I P L O M A R B E I T zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades Magister philosophiae (Mag.phil.) Magister der Philosophie an der Fakultät für Philosophie und Bildungswissenschaft der Universität Wien eingereicht von: Gerold Franz Unterhumer Wien, Oktober 2005 „Wenn alle Menschen einmal lesen und schreiben können werden, dann wird das Reich der Vernunft und der Demokratie auf Erden anbrechen.“ (John Stuart Mill) „Das Beste, was wir von der Geschichte haben, ist der Enthusiasmus, den sie erregt.“ (J.W. von Goethe) - I - Vorwort Den Anlass für die Themenwahl gab ein Gespräch mit meinem Betreuer Mag. Dr. Kurt Finger, der mich auf einen Text von Ludo Moritz Hartmann mit dem Titel „Demokratie und Volksbildung“ (1921) aufmerksam machte. Die darin angesprochene Verbindung von demokratischen Implikationen für die Erwachsenenbildung in ihren Anfängen um die Jahrhundertwende vom 19. zum 20. Jahrhundert weckte mein Interesse, und veranlasste mich, mich auf eine pädagogische Spurensuche und -sicherung zu begeben. Die Relevanz dieses historischen Themas ankerte in der Frage, ob und inwieweit die Hartmannsche Bildungsidee für die gegenwärtige Erwachsenbildung einerseits ein Korrektiv darstellen könne und andererseits das Potenzial innehat, diese neu zu inspirieren. Ich bedanke mich bei Mag. Dr. Kurt Finger für die anregenden und inspirierenden Diskussionen sowie die ausgezeichnete, geduldige Betreuung. Besonderer Dank gilt Herrn Direktor Mag. Christian H. Stifter und seinen Mitarbeiter vom Österreichischen Volkshochschularchiv in Wien für die hervorragende und hilfreiche Unterstützung bei der Recherche für die vorliegende Arbeit. Nicht zuletzt bedanke ich mich bei meiner Frau Sylvia und meinem Freund Richard für die stets aufmunternden und motivierenden Worte während der Erarbeitung.

INCONCERT 17 TONIGHT’S CONCERT AT A GLANCE TOBIAS PICKER The Encantadas • Hailed by The Wall Street Journal as “our finest composer for the lyric stage,” Tobias Picker has garnered critical acclaim for his opera writing, but also boasts a rich catalog of concertos and symphonic works, including Opera Without Words, which the Nashville Symphony performed and recorded in 2017. • Composed in 1983, The Encantadas was a commission intended, in part, to commemorate the 175th anniversary of the Albany Academy, an independent college preparatory school. Since Herman Melville had briefly attended the Albany Academy as a boy, the author’s work was proposed as a starting point for Picker’s composition. • The Encantadas draws on Melville’s book of the same name, which collects 10 prose “sketches” depicting striking features of the Galápagos Islands. For this piece, Picker employed the now rarely used “melodrama” tradition, in which text is recited dramatically by a narrator (in this case, Picker himself) alongside the score.

The model was ancient ballad style. He based his musical fairy-tale on the gruesome legend of the singing bone, which he knew from the stories of Bechstein and Grimm. In the Grimm version, which Mahler adopted, two brothers compete for the hand of a queen who can be won only by tbe bearer of a rare red flo wer. The younger finds the blossom, but is slain in his sleep by his rival. One day a minstrel carves a flute from a bone he has fo und in the forest j when he plays upon it, it magically relates the horrible murder.
