Schubert: the Nonsense Society Revisited
© Copyright, Princeton University Press. No part of this book may be distributed, posted, or reproduced in any form by digital or mechanical means without prior written permission of the publisher. Schubert: The Nonsense Society Revisited RITA STEBLIN Twenty years have now passed since I discovered materials belonging to the Unsinnsgesellschaft (Nonsense Society).1 This informal club, active in Vienna from April 1817 to December 1818, consisted mainly of young painters and poets with Schubert as one of its central members. In this essay I will review this discovery, my ensuing interpretations, and provide some new observations. In January 1994, at the start of a research project on Schubert ico- nography, I studied some illustrated documents at the Historisches Museum der Stadt Wien (now the Wienmuseum am Karlsplatz), titled “Unsinniaden.”2 The documents comprise forty-four watercolor pictures and thirty-seven pages of text recording two festive events celebrated by the Nonsense Society: the New Year’s Eve party at the end of 1817 and the group’s first birthday party on 18 April 1818.3 The pictures depict various club members, identified by their code names and dressed in fan- ciful costumes, as well as four group scenes for the first event, including Vivat es lebe Blasius Leks (Long live Blasius Leks; Figure 1), and two group scenes for the second event, including Feuergeister-Scene (Fire Spirit Scene; Figure 6 below).4 Because of the use of code names—and the misidentifi- cations written on the pictures by some previous owner of the -
Franz Schubert's Impromptus D. 899 and D. 935: An
FRANZ SCHUBERT’S IMPROMPTUS D. 899 AND D. 935: AN HISTORICAL AND STYLISTIC STUDY A doctoral document submitted to the Division of Research and Advanced Studies of the University of Cincinnati In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS In the Keyboard Studies Division of the College-Conservatory of Music 2005 by Ina Ham M.M., Cleveland Institute of Music, 1999 M.M., Seoul National University, 1996 B.M., Seoul National University, 1994 Committee Chair: Dr. Melinda Boyd ABSTRACT The impromptu is one of the new genres that was conceived in the early nineteenth century. Schubert’s two sets of impromptus D. 899 and D. 935 are among the most important examples to define this new genre and to represent the composer’s piano writing style. Although his two sets of four impromptus have been favored in concerts by both the pianists and the audience, there has been a lack of comprehensive study of them as continuous sets. Since the tonal interdependence between the impromptus of each set suggests their cyclic aspects, Schubert’s impromptus need to be considered and be performed as continuous sets. The purpose of this document is to provide useful resources and performance guidelines to Schubert’s two sets of impromptus D. 899 and D. 935 by examining their historical and stylistic features. The document is organized into three chapters. The first chapter traces a brief history of the impromptu as a genre of piano music, including the impromptus by Jan Hugo Voŕišek as the first pieces in this genre. -

Franz Schubert: Inside, out (Mus 7903)
FRANZ SCHUBERT: INSIDE, OUT (MUS 7903) LOUISIANA STATE UNIVERSITY, COLLEGE OF MUSIC & DRAMATIC ARTS FALL 2017 instructor Dr. Blake Howe ([email protected]) M&DA 274 meetings Thursdays, 2:00–4:50 M&DA 273 office hours Fridays, 9:30–10:30 prerequisite Students must have passed either the Music History Diagnostic Exam or MUS 3710. Blake Howe / Franz Schubert – Syllabus / 2 GENERAL INFORMATION COURSE DESCRIPTION This course surveys the life, works, and times of Franz Schubert (1797–1828), one of the most important composers of the nineteenth century. We begin by attempting to understand Schubert’s character and temperament, his life in a politically turbulent city, the social and cultural institutions that sponsored his musical career, and the circles of friends who supported and inspired his artistic vision. We turn to his compositions: the influence of predecessors and contemporaries (idols and rivals) on his early works, his revolutionary approach to poetry and song, the cultivation of expression and subjectivity in his instrumental works, and his audacious harmonic and formal practices. And we conclude with a consideration of Schubert’s legacy: the ever-changing nature of his posthumous reception, his impact on subsequent composers, and the ways in which modern composers have sought to retool, revise, and refinish his music. COURSE MATERIALS Reading assignments will be posted on Moodle or held on reserve in the music library. Listening assignments will link to Naxos Music Library, available through the music library and remotely accessible to any LSU student. There is no required textbook for the course. However, the following texts are recommended for reference purposes: Otto E. -

Franz Schubert Written and Narrated by Jeremy Siepmann with Tom George As Schubert
LIFE AND WORKS Franz Schubert Written and narrated by Jeremy Siepmann with Tom George as Schubert 8.558135–38 Life and Works: Franz Schubert Preface If music is ‘about’ anything, it’s about life. No other medium can so quickly or more comprehensively lay bare the very soul of those who make or compose it. Biographies confined to the limitations of text are therefore at a serious disadvantage when it comes to the lives of composers. Only by combining verbal language with the music itself can one hope to achieve a fully rounded portrait. In the present series, the words of composers and their contemporaries are brought to life by distinguished actors in a narrative liberally spiced with musical illustrations. Unlike the standard audio portrait, the music is not used here simply for purposes of illustration within a basically narrative context. Thus we often hear very substantial chunks, and in several cases whole movements, which may be felt by some to ‘interrupt’ the story; but as its title implies the series is not just about the lives of the great composers, it is also an exploration of their works. Dismemberment of these for ‘theatrical’ effect would thus be almost sacrilegious! Likewise, the booklet is more than a complementary appendage and may be read independently, with no loss of interest or connection.

Franz Schubert Eine Sendereihe Von Christine Lemke-Matwey
Sonntag, 18. Juli 2021 15.03 – 17.00 Uhr Franz Schubert Eine Sendereihe von Christine Lemke-Matwey Glauben ohne Pfaffen: Schuberts Verhältnis zur Kirche (3/21) „Ave Maria! Jungfrau mild, Erhöre einer Jungfrau Flehen, Aus diesem Felsen starr und wild Soll mein Gebet zu dir hinwehen. Wir schlafen sicher bis zum Morgen, Ob Menschen noch so grausam sind. O Jungfrau, sieh der Jungfrau Sorgen, O Mutter, hör ein bittend Kind!“ … mit diesen Versen des schottischen Dichters Walter Scott, in deutscher Übersetzung, begrüße ich Sie zu dieser Sendung. Eine Höhle, Vater und Tochter darin, ein feindlicher König davor, das ist hier die romantische Situation. Ellen, das Mädchen, die Tochter, bittet um Schutz für die Nacht, sie betet zur Jungfrau Maria. Schubert vertont das 1825, neben sechs anderen Gedichten von Scott, und mit diesem hier, Ellens drittem Gesang, gelingt ihm ein absoluter Hit. Hochzeiten, Beerdigungen: Bis heute ist dieses Lied nicht nur aus der Kirche nicht mehr wegzudenken, sondern auch aus unseren Fußgängerzonen und Wunschkonzer- ten nicht. Gesungen, gepfiffen, auf der Säge gesägt oder auf der Quetschkommode gespielt: diese Musik ist unverwüstlich. Und bleibt doch im Kern ein Gebet. „Glauben ohne Pfaffen: Schuberts Verhältnis zur Kirche“ - das soll heute mein Thema sein. 1 TELDEC CLASSICS Franz Schubert 6‘15 LC 06019 „Ellens Gesang III“ (Ave Maria) D 839 4509-90873-2 Barbara Bonney, Sopran Tr. 1 Geoffrey Parssons, Klavier (1994) Barbara Bonney und Geoffrey Parssons, mit „Ellens Gesang III“, besser bekannt als Schuberts „Ave Maria“. Ein symptomatisches Stück für Schuberts Begriff vom Glauben und von Reli- giosität. Warum? Weil sich hier alles mit allem verschränkt, das Geistliche mit dem Weltli- chen, das Romantische mit dem Andächtigen, Religion und Ästhetik, Funktion und Kunstan- spruch. -
Der Auftakt 1920-1938
Der Auftakt 1920-1938 The Prague music journal Der Auftakt [The upbeat. AUF. Subtitle: “Musikblätter für die tschechoslowakische Republik;” from volume seven, issue two “Moderne Musikblätter”]1 appeared from December 1920 to April 1938.2 According to Felix Adler (1876-1928), music critic for the Prague journal Bohemia and editor of the first eight issues of AUF,3 the journal was formed out of the Musiklehrerzeitung [Journal for music teachers] (1913-16, organ of the Deutscher Musikpädagogischer Verband [German association for music pedagogy] in Prague) and was to be a general music journal with a modern outlook and with a concern for the interests of music pedagogues.4 Under its next editor, Erich Steinhard, AUF soon developed into one of the leading German-language modern music journals of the time and became the center of Czech-German musical collaboration in the Czechoslovakian Republic between the wars.5 Adolf Weißmann, eminent music critic from Berlin, writes: “Among the journals that avoid all distortions of perspective, the Auftakt stands at the front. It has gained international importance through the weight of its varied contributions and the clarity of mind of its main editor.”6 The journal stopped publication without prior announcement in the middle of volume eighteen, likely a result of the growing influence of Nazi Germany.7 AUF was published at first by Johann Hoffmanns Witwe, Prague, then, starting with the third volume in 1923, by the Auftaktverlag, a direct venture of the Musikpädagogischer Verband.8 The journal was introduced as a bimonthly publication, but except for the first volume appearing in twenty issues from December 1920 to the end of 1921, all volumes contain twelve monthly issues, many of them combined into double issues.9 The issues are undated, but a line with the date for the “Redaktionsschluss” [copy deadline], separating the edited content from the 1 Subtitles as given on the first paginated page of every issue. -

Diesem Aufenthalt ging der Steiermark zu Heinrich Bertes eine Einladung des Grazer Rechtsanwalts Dr. Karl Pachler voraus, der mit Jenger und Hüttenbrenner gut bekannt war.
