This conference is dedicated to string quartets – not to string trios or string quintets, not to chamber music for winds or mixed ensemble or chamber music with piano. Yet all of these chamber music scorings have long and venerable histories, just like the string quartet, and at one time, certainly up to the last decades of the eighteenth century, they seem to have had comparable status. How is it, then, that the string quartet became the dominant, prestigious genre of chamber music, a marker by which composers’ greatness is measured? Or a genre to which composers turned not as an opus 1, as was frequent during the eighteenth-century, but as an opus ultimum? This paper looks at the history and growing prestige of the string quartet during the period 1750 to 1870 and tries to account for its increasing dominance and ultimate supremacy both historically and – what is perhaps more important – historiographically and biographically. The sources for this study include the dissemination of manuscript parts and editions, including publishers’ catalogues, contemporaneous reviews of string quartets and other chamber works, music historical writing from the late eighteenth to mid-nineteenth century, music encyclopedias and dictionaries of the time, music biography, writings

  • Gustav Mahler : Conducting Multiculturalism
    GUSTAV MAHLER : CONDUCTING MULTICULTURALISM Victoria Hallinan 1 Musicologists and historians have generally paid much more attention to Gustav Mahler’s famous career as a composer than to his work as a conductor. His choices in concert repertoire and style, however, reveal much about his personal experiences in the Austro-Hungarian Empire and his interactions with cont- emporary cultural and political upheavals. This project examines Mahler’s conducting career in the multicultural climate of late nineteenth-century Vienna and New York. It investigates the degree to which these contexts influenced the conductor’s repertoire and questions whether Mahler can be viewed as an early proponent of multiculturalism. There is a wealth of scholarship on Gustav Mahler’s diverse compositional activity, but his conducting repertoire and the multicultural contexts that influenced it, has not received the same critical attention. 2 In this paper, I examine Mahler’s connection to the crumbling, late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century depiction of the Austro-Hungarian Empire as united and question whether he can be regarded as an exemplar of early multiculturalism. I trace Mahler’s career through Budapest, Vienna and New York, explore the degree to which his repertoire choices reflected the established opera canon of his time, or reflected contemporary cultural and political trends, and address uncertainties about Mahler’s relationship to the various multicultural contexts in which he lived and worked. Ultimately, I argue that Mahler’s varied experiences cannot be separated from his decisions regarding what kinds of music he believed his audiences would want to hear, as well as what kinds of music he felt were relevant or important to share.

Fenn GUSTAV MAHLER A Study of His Personality and tf^ork BY PAUL STEFAN TRANSLATED FROM THE GERMAN EY T. E. CLARK NEW YORK : G. SCHIRMER COPYRIGHT, 1913, BY G. SCHIRMER 24189 To OSKAR FRIED WHOSE GREAT PERFORMANCES OF MAHLER'S WORKS ARE SHINING POINTS IN BERLIN'S MUSICAL LIFE, AND ITS MUSICIANS' MOST SPLENDID REMEMBRANCES, THIS TRANSLATION IS RESPECTFULLY DEDICATED BERLIN, Summer of 1912. TRANSLATOR'S PREFACE The present translation was undertaken by the writer some two years ago, on the appearance of the first German edition. Oskar Fried had made known to us in Berlin the overwhelming beauty of Mahler's music, and it was intended that the book should pave the way for Mahler in England. From his appearance there, we hoped that his genius as man and musi- cian would be recognised, and also that his example would put an end to the intolerable existing chaos in reproductive music- making, wherein every quack may succeed who is unscrupulous enough and wealthy enough to hold out until he becomes "popular." The English musician's prayer was: "God pre- serve Mozart and Beethoven until the right man comes," and this man would have been Mahler. Then came Mahler's death with such appalling suddenness for our youthful enthusiasm. Since that tragedy, "young" musicians suddenly find themselves a generation older, if only for the reason that the responsibility of continuing Mah- ler's ideals now rests upon their shoulders in dead earnest.

  • PROGRAM NOTES Gustav Mahler Symphony No. 1 in D Major
    PROGRAM NOTES by Phillip Huscher Gustav Mahler Born July 7, 1860, Kalischt, Bohemia. Died May 18, 1911, Vienna, Austria. Symphony No. 1 in D Major Mahler did most of the work on his First Symphony in February and March of 1888, incorporating music that had been written much earlier. He revised the score on several occasions. The first performance was given on November 20, 1889, in Budapest, with the composer conducting. The score calls for four flutes and three piccolos, four oboes and english horn, four clarinets, two E-flat clarinets and bass clarinet, three bassoons and contrabassoon, seven horns, four trumpets, three trombones and tuba, timpani, bass drum, cymbals, triangle, tam-tam, harp, and strings. Performance time is approximately fifty-seven minutes. The Chicago Symphony Orchestra's first subscription concert performances of Mahler's First Symphony were given at Orchestra Hall on November 6 and 7, 1914, with Frederick Stock conducting. Our most recent subscription concert performances were given on April 5, 6, 7, and 10, 2007, with Gustavo Dudamel conducting. The Orchestra first performed this symphony at the Ravinia Festival on July 19, 1949, with William Steinberg conducting, and most recently on June 24, 2005, with James Conlon conducting. When Alma Schindler first met Gustav Mahler, whom she later married, she could only remember how much she had disliked his First Symphony. She wasn't alone. The history of this symphony, even into relatively recent times, is one of misunderstanding and rejection. The first performance, in Budapest in 1889, was greeted with indifference, bewilderment, and, in the words of the local critic, "a small, but, for all that, audible element of opposition." Mahler seldom understood the animosity his music aroused.

  • Boccherini and the Prussian Court the Famous Praise of Boccherini By
    Filling the void – Boccherini and the Prussian Court The famous praise of Boccherini by the French Violin Master, Jean Baptiste Cartier, says it all: (Quote): Si Dieu voulait parler à l’homme en musique, il le ferait avec les œuvres de Haydn, mais s’Il desirait Lui-même écouter de la musique, Il choisirait Boccherini." “If God wanted to speak to men through music, He would do it with the oeuvres of Haydn, but if He himself wished to listen to music, He would choose Boccherini”. Elegance and lucidity, softness and sensibility are some of the outstanding qualities of Luigi Boccherini´s music. In his time he was one of the most loved composers in Europe, one of a few. His music was held in high esteem in Spain, France, the Netherlands and Belgium as well as in Scandinavia, Austria and in Germany. During the short period of 14 years, from 1783 to 1797, chamber music compositions by Boccherini were played frequently in Berlin and in Potsdam by the prince and heir Friedrich Wilhelm, who was a nephew of the late Friedrich II, “the Great” and a passionate cello player. He became King of Prussia after the death of his predessor on August 17th 1786. Already at the beginning of this year, on the 21st of January, Friedrich Wilhelm had appointed Boccherini to be his “compositore della nuestra camera”. From that time on Boccherini delivered about twelve new works of chamber music every year to the Prussian Court. Boccherini´s service was rewarded by 1000 Prussian crowns (Taler) yearly. From now on Boccherini dedicated all his compositions to the King of Prussia and he always signed his letters with the words “compositor di camera di S.
