The History As History | Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Vienna From 1812 to today 1812 The Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Vienna is founded, in response to the overwhelming success of a charitable concert hosted by the Gesellschaft adeliger Frauen zur Beförderung des Guten und Nützlichen (Noblewomen’s Society for the Advancement of Good and Benevolence) at the Imperial Winter Riding School (known today as the Spanish Riding School): A choir and orchestra of approximately 600 people, most of them amateurs, performs Handel’s oratorio “Timotheus oder Die Gewalt der Musik” for an audience of 5,000. The rapturous reception for the concert leads to an immediate commitment to undertake a second performance, and the suggestion to bring the friends of music in Vienna together in the form of an association. Joseph Sonnleithner, the enterprising secretary of the Gesellschaft adeliger Frauen, makes an invaluable contribution, laying the foundations for the new society and collecting signatures in support. By the end of the year, 507 “Friends of Music” have declared their support for the initiative. They become the founding members of the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Vienna. 1813 The society’s statutes are put forward for approval. The Friends of Music announce their arrival on the music scene in an impressive manner with a new performance of “Timotheus” in two concerts, each involving more than 600 participants. 1814 Imperial consent for the foundation of the society is granted, and the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Vienna is able to begin its work. Its first secretary is Joseph Sonnleitner. The patron of the society is Archduke Rudolph , brother of the reigning Emperor and personal friend of Ludwig van Beethoven. The statutes define the “main object” of the society as “the promotion of music in all its branches” . With this ambitious aim, the Musikverein commits itself from the outset to an open and dynamic approach of continual development and improvement. An abundance of activities serve this purpose. The newly founded Gesellschaft not only hosts concerts (performed exclusively by practising members of the society), but also founds a conservatory and an archive for the purposes of musical study. For almost 100 years, this private conservatory is the premiere musical academy of the Habsburg monarchy, coming into state ownership in 1911. The archive, library and collections remain key constituent elements of the society, which on this basis possesses the most important private musical collection in the world today. By 1814 the Musikverein has already gained prominence as a concert-giving institution, performing Handel’s “Samson” for the participants of the Congress of Vienna . 1815 The Kleiner Redoutensaal of the imperial Hofburg palace plays host to the first subscription concert of the Gesellschaft. The idea that amateur music lovers should perform only for one another and that only they might be members is soon revised. The interest among non-members is so great that a third concert by the society has to be moved to a larger venue: the Großer Redoutensaal. 1817 The Konservatorium of the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde begins its work with two singing classes. The director of this “singing school” is Antonio Salieri. P a g e 1 | 12 History | Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Vienna From 1812 to today 1818 With the introduction of “musical evening entertainments” the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde sets the fundamental tone for its programme policy. Alongside large choral and orchestral works, regular chamber music, lieder and polyphonic vocal performances are scheduled. 1822 The Gesellschaft rents premises within a building on the Tuchlauben in Vienna, “Zum roten Igel”. 1826 Ludwig van Beethoven is made an honorary member of the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Vienna. Franz Schubert dedicates his Great C Major Symphony to the society. Both artists are also closely involved with the Musikverein. In 1827, Schubert becomes a member of the Board of Representatives, a managing body of the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde. 1829 The Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde buys “Zum roten Igel”, the building it had formerly rented, planning to replace this with a new building bringing the diverse activities of the Musikverein together under one roof. 1830 The Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde invites guests to dance with the establishment of its first Ball. The tradition lives on – albeit with some breaks -for more than 100 years. The last Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde Ball takes place in 1951. 1831 The Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde opens the doors to its new premises in the Tuchlauben, Vienna. Designed by Franz Lössl, the building also contains a concert hall for c. 700 people. This is Vienna’s first purpose-built concert hall – previously, concerts took place in salons or theatres that served multiple purposes. Upon the death of Archduke Rudolph, the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Vienna inherits his music library. With the arrival of 90 chests, each weighing 250 kilogrammes, priceless musical artefacts become part of the Musikverein’s collection. 1837 The Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde celebrates its 25 th anniversary in the Imperial Winter Riding School. More than 1000 people take part in two concerts performing Haydn’s “Creation”. 1847 Once again, more than 1000 participants are scheduled to take part in a music festival hosted by the society, at which Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy is to conduct his work “Elias”. The posters are already printed by the time news of the 38-year-old composer’s death reaches Vienna. The performance becomes a moving memorial concert for his early death. 1848 The revolutionary unrest of the times also affects the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde. For nine months, the society gives no concert performances and teaching is temporarily suspended at the Konservatorium. The Musikverein faces a severe financial crisis. P a g e 2 | 12 History | Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Vienna From 1812 to today 1851 The Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde itself undertakes a comprehensive reform of the organisation to overcome the crisis. The number of members continues to grow and the Konservatorium is able to resume its activities. Alongside streamlining the internal structure, a new artistic direction proves decisive: the orchestra for the society’s concerts is from now on to be no longer composed of practising members, i.e. amateurs, but rather of professional musicians. The Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde’s professionalisation is also a response to the founding of the Vienna Philharmonic in 1842. 1857 The Musikverein also receives help to overcome the financial crisis due to a significant bequest. Karl Czerny, Beethoven’s famous pupil and a composer, pianist and piano teacher, leaves a quarter of his large fortune to the Gesellschaft. 1858 While orchestral music is put into the hands of professionals, the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde takes another approach with choral music. This remains the domain of practising amateur members – albeit in a new and highly efficient form. Thus the Singverein is founded as a branch society of the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde, with rising star Johann Herbeck as its first choral director. Under his leadership, the choir soon develops into an outstanding vocal ensemble in much demand among composers. Up to the present day – in principle at least – not much has changed. The Singverein of the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde is an “amateur choir”, while also being one of the best concert choirs in the world. 1859 To provide the instrumentalists among their members with a forum of their own, the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde founds a second branch society, the Orchesterverein . This too keeps the tradition of “practising members” alive. The Orchesterverein today remains an enthusiastic amateur orchestra with a very active role in concert life. 1862 The celebratory performance of the “Messiah” to mark the 50th anniversary of the Musikverein testifies to its extraordinary cultural importance. Emperor Franz Joseph I. and Empress Elisabeth attend the concert together with other members of the imperial family and government representatives of the highest level. 1863 The Vienna Ringstrasse era heralds an opportunity for the Musikverein to erect a new and magnificent building of its own. As early as 1858 – just as the demolition of the medieval city wall was beginning – the Gesellschaft had approached the Emperor with a plea for a building plot to be granted, as a larger building is deemed urgently necessary. This time now arrives, and the Emperor gifts the Gesellschaft a building plot on the left bank of the river Wien. 1865 Schubert’ss “Unfinished” symphony receives its premiere performance at a concert given by the Gesellschaft. The conductor is Johann Herbeck, who has recently received the manuscript from Schubert’s friend Anselm Hüttenbrenner. 1867 The architect Theophil Hansen is contracted to build the new Musikverein building. The funding comes not only from the Austrian state – the Emperor grants funding from the state lotteries – but also and mainly from private donors. Members and friends of the Musikverein are closely involved with the fundraising effort and contribute to the P a g e 3 | 12 History | Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Vienna From 1812 to today building costs. The Gesellschaft itself creates incentives by providing special privileges to “Benefactors“ and “Founders”. The Singverein and the orchestra of the Gesellschaft under Johann Herbeck stage the premiere performance of Brahms’ “German Requiem”. 1868 Anton

  • Einem Gottfried
    EINEM VON GOTTFRIED Compositore austriaco (Berna 24 I 1918 - Waldviertel 12 VII 1966) Dapprima autodidatta, Gottfried von Einem studiò con Boris Blacher e sviluppò in seguito un equilibrato linguaggio musicale. Nel 1938 iniziò la sua carriera come istruttore di canto all'Opera di Berlino e come assistente al Festival di Bayreuth. Durante il nazionalsocialismo venne più volte arrestato. Dopo la guerra Einem rivestì varie funzioni sia al Festival di Salisburgo, sia alle Festwochen di Vienna. Dal 1963 al 1972 insegnò alla Musikhochschule di Vienna, dal 1964 fu membro della Akademie der Kunste di Berlino e dal 1965 al 1970 presidente dell'Akademie fur Musik austriaca. 1 DANTONS TOD Di Gottfried von Einem (1918-1996) libretto proprio e di Boris Blacher, dal dramma di Georg Büchner (La morte di Danton) Opera in due atti e sei quadri Prima: Salisburgo, Felsenreitschule, 6 agosto 1947 Personaggi: Georges Danton (Bar); Julie, sua moglie (Ms); Camille Desmoulins e Jean Hérault de Séchelles, deputati (T); Lucille, moglie di Camille (S); Maximilien Robespierre (T); Saint-Just (B); Simon, suggeritore (B); due becchini (T); una dama (S); una popolana (A); uomini e donne del popolo In Dantons Tod non si saluta solo un esordio teatrale particolarmente felice, tanto da decretare all’autore fama subitanea, ma anche l’inizio della consuetudine salisburghese (mai più abbandonata) di inserire ogni anno nel Festival un’opera contemporanea in ‘prima’ assoluta. Il soggetto di Büchner venne scelto sull’onda emotiva suscitata dal fallito attentato a Hitler nel 1944; ad approntare la versione ridotta fu Boris Blacher, maestro di Einem e futuro dedicatario dell’opera.

  • The Secret of the Musikverein and Other Shoebox Concert Halls
    Proceedings of the Institute of Acoustics THE SECRET OF THE MUSIKVEREIN AND OTHER SHOEBOX CONCERT HALLS T Lokki Aalto University School of Science, Department of Computer Science, Finland J Pätynen Aalto University School of Science, Department of Computer Science, Finland S Tervo Aalto University School of Science, Department of Computer Science, Finland A Kuusinen Aalto University School of Science, Department of Computer Science, Finland H Tahvanainen Aalto University School of Science, Department of Computer Science, Finland A Haapaniemi Aalto University School of Science, Department of Computer Science, Finland 1 INTRODUCTION AND MOTIVATION The Musikvereinssaal in Vienna is indisputably one of the most admired concert halls in the world. Even those who prefer defined and clear sound to overwhelming enveloping reverberation praise the acoustics of the Musikverein. Researchers have studied the acoustics of this golden hall, mostly by the objective measures, but still the superior acoustics remains unexplained. General consensus among acousticians seems to be that numerous strong early lateral reflections, high ceiling, and bright en- veloping reverberation are the keys to the success. Here, we aim to explain the acoustics of shoebox concert halls, including the Musikverein, with the measurements of spatial impulse responses. More- over, we propose to shift the research focus in concert hall acoustics from traditional energy decay based parameters towards aspects on how acoustics can support music and make it more enjoyable. Although the Musikverein provides strong sensations for any listeners not all people like its overwhelm- ing reverberation in blind listening. We have recently conducted a large listening test 8 that included preference judgements between six concert halls on three different seats with two different signals.

  • Die Münchner Philharmoniker
    Die Münchner Philharmoniker Die Münchner Philharmoniker wurden 1893 auf Privatinitiative von Franz Kaim, Sohn eines Klavierfabrikanten, gegründet und prägen seither das musikalische Leben Münchens. Bereits in den Anfangsjahren des Orchesters – zunächst unter dem Namen »Kaim-Orchester« – garantierten Dirigenten wie Hans Winderstein, Hermann Zumpe und der Bruckner-Schüler Ferdinand Löwe hohes spieltechnisches Niveau und setzten sich intensiv auch für das zeitgenössische Schaffen ein. Von Anbeginn an gehörte zum künstlerischen Konzept auch das Bestreben, durch Programm- und Preisgestaltung allen Bevölkerungs-schichten Zugang zu den Konzerten zu ermöglichen. Mit Felix Weingartner, der das Orchester von 1898 bis 1905 leitete, mehrte sich durch zahlreiche Auslandsreisen auch das internationale Ansehen. Gustav Mahler dirigierte das Orchester in den Jahren 1901 und 1910 bei den Uraufführungen seiner 4. und 8. Symphonie. Im November 1911 gelangte mit dem inzwischen in »Konzertvereins-Orchester« umbenannten Ensemble unter Bruno Walters Leitung Mahlers »Das Lied von der Erde« zur Uraufführung. Von 1908 bis 1914 übernahm Ferdinand Löwe das Orchester erneut. In Anknüpfung an das triumphale Wiener Gastspiel am 1. März 1898 mit Anton Bruckners 5. Symphonie leitete er die ersten großen Bruckner- Konzerte und begründete so die bis heute andauernde Bruckner-Tradition des Orchesters. In die Amtszeit von Siegmund von Hausegger, der dem Orchester von 1920 bis 1938 als Generalmusikdirektor vorstand, fielen u.a. die Uraufführungen zweier Symphonien Bruckners in ihren Originalfassungen sowie die Umbenennung in »Münchner Philharmoniker«. Von 1938 bis zum Sommer 1944 stand der österreichische Dirigent Oswald Kabasta an der Spitze des Orchesters. Eugen Jochum dirigierte das erste Konzert nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg. Mit Hans Rosbaud gewannen die Philharmoniker im Herbst 1945 einen herausragenden Orchesterleiter, der sich zudem leidenschaftlich für neue Musik einsetzte.

  • A Culture of Recording: Christopher Raeburn and the Decca Record Company
    A Culture of Recording: Christopher Raeburn and the Decca Record Company Sally Elizabeth Drew A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Sheffield Faculty of Arts and Humanities Department of Music This work was supported by the Arts & Humanities Research Council September 2018 1 2 Abstract This thesis examines the working culture of the Decca Record Company, and how group interaction and individual agency have made an impact on the production of music recordings. Founded in London in 1929, Decca built a global reputation as a pioneer of sound recording with access to the world’s leading musicians. With its roots in manufacturing and experimental wartime engineering, the company developed a peerless classical music catalogue that showcased technological innovation alongside artistic accomplishment. This investigation focuses specifically on the contribution of the recording producer at Decca in creating this legacy, as can be illustrated by the career of Christopher Raeburn, the company’s most prolific producer and specialist in opera and vocal repertoire. It is the first study to examine Raeburn’s archive, and is supported with unpublished memoirs, private papers and recorded interviews with colleagues, collaborators and artists. Using these sources, the thesis considers the history and functions of the staff producer within Decca’s wider operational structure in parallel with the personal aspirations of the individual in exerting control, choice and authority on the process and product of recording. Having been recruited to Decca by John Culshaw in 1957, Raeburn’s fifty-year career spanned seminal moments of the company’s artistic and commercial lifecycle: from assisting in exploiting the dramatic potential of stereo technology in Culshaw’s Ring during the 1960s to his serving as audio producer for the 1990 The Three Tenors Concert international phenomenon.

U-M freshman Brandon Blazo performed the pre-concert carillon recital. FORTIETH CONCERT OF THE 114TH SEASON THIRTIETH ANNUAL CHAMBER ARTS SERIES PROGRAM NOTES Serenade No. 12 in E-flat major, K. 375 Mozart Mozart wrote this Serenade in Vienna, in October 1781, for six instruments - pairs of clarinets, horns, and bassoons. A few months later he added parts for a pair of oboes and tightened up the form considerably. On November 3, 1781, he wrote to his father that the piece had so pleased the players (of the first version) that to celebrate his name day, "at eleven o'clock at night I was treated to a serenade of my own composition. The six men who played it are poor beggars, but they play very well together. They came to the center of my courtyard, and just as I was about to undress they surprised me most pleasantly with the E-flat chord. [Abridged]" These "social" works are not unlike his symphonies, except that they are usually looser in form and lighter in tone, and they may have extra slow movements or minuets or both.
