  • The Authenticity of Genius Transcript
    The Authenticity of Genius Transcript Date: Tuesday, 15 February 2011 - 1:00PM Location: Museum of London Gresham Lecture, 15 February 2011 The Authenticity of Genius Professor Christopher Hogwood You see that I have arrived with eight accomplices today, all named on the programme sheet. I shall just tell you how we arrived at this and the purpose. As you know, the overriding theme of these six lectures, this year has been the theme of authenticity. We have done various aspects such as whether the piece in question is what it says on the tin and that sort of thing. Last time, there were many fakes. The next lecture was going to be taking the story of music, as it were, from the manuscript, or from the library stage, into the sort of thing you can pick off the shelf and buy – i.e. the work of the musicologist, the librarian and the historian. The final lecture will carry that story on - dealing with the business of picking the printed volume off the shelf and deciding to include it in a recital, in a concert, in a recording, and for that, I will be joined by Dame Emma Kirby. We will talk about what goes on in a performer’s life and in a performer’s mind when faced with a new piece of repertoire and how you bring it to life respectably from the silent piece of music that you took from the library or bought off the shelf. That does seem to leave one stage missing - the stage before the thing hits the paper, which is what goes on to create this music, and that is why we have “Authenticity of Genius” today.

  • West Side Story
    To Our Readers ow can something be as fresh, as bril­ Hliant, as explosively urgent as "West Side Story," and be 50 years old? How can this brand new idea for the American theatre have been around for half a century? Leonard Bernstein used to say that he wished he could write the Great American Opera. He was still designing such a project shortly before his death. But in retrospect, we can say that he fulfilled his wish. "West Side Story" is performed to enthusiastic audiences in opera houses around the world - recently in La Scala and, before this year is out, at the Theatre du Chatelet in Paris. Is there a Broadway revival in the works? The signs are highly auspicious. In this issue, we celebrate "West Side Story": its authors, its original performers, and its continuing vital presence in the world. Chita Rivera regrets that, due to scheduling conflicts, she was unable to contribute to this issue by print time. [ wEst SIDE ·sronv L "West Side Story" continues to break ground to this very day. Earlier this year, the show was performed by inmates at Sing Sing. A few months later, it was presented as part of a conflict resolution initiative for warring street gangs in Seattle. And if there's a heaven, Leonard Bernstein was up there dancing for joy last summer while Gustavo Dudamel led his sensational 200-piece Simon Bolfvar Youth Orchestra in the "Mambo" at the Proms in London. The audience went bonkers. Check it out: http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/ 6pXLfR60dUfQNjMYZ There are few theatrical experiences as reliably thrilling as a student production of "West Side Story".

  • Konzerthäuser in Deutschland
    Raoul Mörchen Konzerthäuser in Deutschland >> Konzerthaus – Was ist das? Was ein Opernhaus ist, ist leicht gesagt. Ein Opernhaus ist ein Haus, in dem Opern gespielt werden. In Opern- häusern werden gemeinhin die zur Aufführung kommenden Opern auch selbst produziert, und zwar ganz oder zum Teil mit eigenem Personal, mit einem eigenen Ensemble, mit einem eigenen Orchester, auf jeden Fall werden die Opern programmiert von einem eigenen Betrieb, einer eigenen Verwaltung, einer eigenen Dramaturgie und einer künstlerischen Leitung. Ein Opernhaus ist somit ein spezifischer Gebäudetypus – mit Auditorium, Bühne, Bühnenmaschinerie, heute auch mit Orchestergraben – und eine kulturelle Institution, die diesen Gebäudetypus entsprechend bespielt. Was ein Konzerthaus ist, lässt sich dagegen nicht so leicht sagen. Für Konzerte braucht es kein eigenes Haus – ein Saal tut’s eigentlich auch. Genau genommen spielt sogar die meiste Musik in Deutschland, auch die klas- sische, nicht in Konzerthäusern, sondern in Konzertsälen. Und selbst der Konzertsaal ist bei näherem Hinblick weder architektonisch noch soziologisch eine so fest greifbare Entität wie das Opernhaus: Was gestern Abend noch Konzertsaal war, kann vielerorts morgen früh schon leergeräumt werden für einen Kongress oder eine Tagung, für eine Firmenpräsentation oder gar für einen Trödelmarkt. Beinahe jede mittelgroße und große deutsche Stadt verfügt über solche Säle, die als Mehrzweckhallen mehr oder minder oft Aufführungsstätte für Konzerte sind. Ihre Eignung dafür stellt diese beliebte Mischnutzung nicht von vornherein in Frage: Säle wie die alte Duisburger Mercatorhalle oder die Beethovenhalle in Bonn haben sich Jahrzehnte lang als Konzertort bewährt und sind von Musikern und dem Publikum angenommen, manchmal sogar liebgewonnen worden. Historisch betrachtet hat in solchen Mehrzwecksälen das öffentliche Konzert sogar seinen Ursprung genom- men: Sowohl in England, wo sich das bürgerliche Konzertwesen in einer stark merkantil ausgerichteten Ge- sellschaft bereits im frühen 18.

Dynamics of Disintegration: The Later Han Empire (25-220CE) & Its Northwestern Frontier Abstract As a frontier region of the Qin-Han (221BCE-220CE) empire, the northwest was a new territory to the Chinese realm. Until the Later Han (25-220CE) times, some portions of the northwestern region had only been part of imperial soil for one hundred years. Its coalescence into the Chinese empire was a product of long-term expansion and conquest, which arguably defined the egionr 's military nature. Furthermore, in the harsh natural environment of the region, only tough people could survive, and unsurprisingly, the region fostered vigorous warriors. Mixed culture and multi-ethnicity featured prominently in this highly militarized frontier society, which contrasted sharply with the imperial center that promoted unified cultural values and stood in the way of a greater degree of transregional integration. As this project shows, it was the northwesterners who went through a process of political peripheralization during the Later Han times played a harbinger role of the disintegration of the empire and eventually led to the breakdown of the early imperial system in Chinese history.
