Faust Study Guide
Faust Study Guide WORLD LITERATURE II (ENG 252) Faust Study Guide Dr. Diane Thompson, NVCC, ELI Goethe Faust's Romantic Structure Faust is Eclectic The Bet in Heaven The Story Faust as Hero GOETHE Goethe is not very widely read in America these days, but in many other countries he is considered a world class author, along with Shakespeare, Dante and Homer. Consequently, he belongs on any world literature reading list and is worth some effort to appreciate. Goethe lived from 1749-1832. He was revered in his lifetime as a true genius, a master of many forms of writing, a lawyer, a scientist, a great humanist. Faust I and Faust II are the culminating works of his long, fruitful life. Top FAUST'S ROMANTIC STRUCTURE Faust's structure is deliberately fragmentary, a series of scenes loosely strung together instead of tightly integrated acts. This loose structure is based on the Romantic rebellion against the French classical insistence on the unities of form. For example, Tartuffe takes place in one room at one time with a single focused action, that of Tartuffe tricking Orgon. The romantics shunned this "artificial" form in favor of a more "organic" or natural form that developed out of the experiences of the characters themselves. This is fine in theory, and even makes good sense on stage when interpreted by actors. However, to a reader, Faust, like many romantic works, seems at first like bits and pieces tossed together. This was intentional, and was intended to represent the fragmentary nature of experience, but is not easy on the reader. -

Investigating the Constitutive Properties of Antony Tudor's Dark Elegies
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by The University of North Carolina at Greensboro What Constitutes a Dance?: Investigating the Constitutive Properties of Antony Tudor's Dark Elegies By: Ann Dils Dils, A. (1993) What Constitutes a Dance?: Investigating the Constitutive Properties of Antony Tudor's Dark Elegies, Dance Research Journal 24 (2), 17-31. Made available courtesy of University of Illinois Press: http://www.press.uillinois.edu/journals/drj.html ***Note: Figures may be missing from this format of the document These papers were originally given as a panel entitled What Constitutes a Dance at the 1989 Congress on Research in Dance Conference in Williamsburg, Virginia. Panelists selected Antony Tudor's 1937 Dark Elegies as a case study and basis for examining general questions regarding elements to be considered in identifying a dance work. Several issues and occurrences inspired panel members, such as recent interest in revivals of dance works from the beginning of this century and scholarly debate about issues related to directing dance from Labanotation scores. While Nelson Goodman's 1968 book Languages of Art served as a theoretical springboard for discussion, Judy Van Zile's 1985-86 article "What is the Dance? Implications for Dance Notation" proved a thought-provoking precedent for this investigation. The term "constitutive" comes from Goodman's work and is one of several ideas discussed in Languages of Art that are important to dance notation. For Goodman, the purpose of notation is to identify a work and specify its essential properties. These essential properties are constitutive; el- ements of a work that can be varied without disturbing the work's identity are "contingent" (p. -
Overture to Oberon Composed from 1825-26 Carl Maria Von Weber Born in Eutin, Germany, November 18, 1786 Died in London, June 5
OVERTURE TO OBERON COMPOSED FROM 1825-26 CARL MARIA VON WEBER BORN IN EUTIN, GERMANY, NOVEMBER 18, 1786 DIED IN LONDON, JUNE 5, 1826 The tragic tale of the composition of Weber’s final opera Oberon is perhaps as interesting as the plot of the opera itself. Dying of consumption at the age of 38, the impoverished Weber felt he could not refuse the offer from English impresario Charles Kemble to compose an opera on the subject of Oberon, King of the Faeries, for the London stage— even though he sensed that the project would be the death of him. “Whether I travel or not, in a year I’ll be a dead man,” he wrote to a friend after he had completed the Oberon score, of his decision to make the trip to England to see the work through to performance. “But if I do travel, my children will at least have something to eat, even if Daddy is dead—and if I don’t go they’ll starve. What would you do in my position?” Both points of Weber’s prediction proved correct: The 12 initial performances of Oberon netted his family a great deal of money; and within a few weeks of the work’s successful premiere in April 1826, the composer collapsed of exhaustion and died. Though the composition of operas had always been the center of Weber’s existence, it was not until the last six years of his life that he had finally been given the opportunity to compose the three stage works that quickly took their place among the masterworks of Romanticism: Der Freischütz, Euryanthe, and Oberon. -
