J 47 Tremont Street^ Boston. 1758 " Overture TO "CoRioLANus," Op. 62 . I^udwig van Beethoven (Bom at Bonn, December i6 (?), 1770; died at Vienna, March 26, 1827.) ' " The original manuscript of the overture bears this inscription : Over- tura (zum Trauerspiel Coriolan) composta da L. v. Beethoven, 1807." The words in parenthesis are crossed out. The overture was published in 1808: "Ouverture de Coriolan, Tragedie de M. de Collin, etc., com- posee et dediee a Monsieur de Collin, etc." The other compositions of 1807 were the first Mass in C, the overture to "Leonore-Fidelio," No. I, which was published as Op. 138, the Fifth Symphony, the ariette, "In questa tomba," the violin concerto changed into a pianoforte con- certo, and probably the 'cello sonata, Op. 69. The tragedy by Heinrich Joseph von Collin was produced November 24, 1802, with entr'actes arranged from Mozart's music to "Idomeneo" by the Abbe Stadler. It was afterward revived with Lange as the hero and played often until March 3, 1805. From that date to the end of October, 1809, there was only one performance of the tragedy, and that was on April 24, 1807. Thayer concludes that the overture was not written for this performance, because the overture had been played at two concerts in March. These concerts were at the palace of Prince lyobkowitz in Vienna, and only pieces by Beethoven were performed, the first four symphonies, the "Coriolanus" overture, a pianoforte con- certo, and airs from "Fidelio." The overture was criticised most favorably in the Journal des Luxus find der Moden and Cotta's Mor- genblatt as a "new work." A correspondent of the Allgemeine Musik Zeitung wrote: "According to the inscription, the overture was intended for Collin's ' Coriolanus.' Thayer adds: "How nobly Beethoven comprehended the character of Coriolanus has long been known; but how wonderfully the overture fits in the play can be judged properly only by those who have read Grand Operas to be Performed this Season in NEW YORK BOSTON CHICAGO •GIRL OF THE GOLDEN WEST By •LA BOHEME."

When he read Collin's play, his discontent turned into wonder." Beethoven knew the Coriolanus presented by Plutarch as well as the Coriolanus of Shakespeare and von Colhn. One might say that the character of Coriolanus was in certain ways sympathetic to him; and some may wonder at Thayer's dissatisfaction. Wagner had no thought of von Collin, when he wrote: "If we recall to mind the impression made upon us by the figure of Coriolanus in Shakespeare's drama, and from all the details of the complicated plot first single that which lingered with us through its bearing on the principal character, we shall see one solitary shape loom forth: the defiant Coriolanus in conflict with his inmost voice, that voice which only speaks the more unsilenceably when issuing from his mother's mouth; and of the dramatic development there will remain but that voice's victory over pride, the breaking of the stubbornness of a nature strong beyond all bounds. For his drama Beethoven chooses nothing but these two chief motives, which make us feel more surely than all abstract exposition the inmost essence of that pair of characters. Then if we devoutly follow the movement developing solely from the opposition of these two motives in strict accordance with their musical character, and allow in turn the purely musical detail to work upon us—the lights and shades, the meetings and partings of these two motives—we shall at like time be following the course of SONG ALBUMS BEACH, Mrs. H.

  • Opening a Museum for Everyone
    From One Louvre to Another: Opening a Museum for Everyone Jean Garnier (Meaux, 1632–Paris, 1705) Allegory of Louis XIV, Protector of Arts and Sciences 1672. Oil on canvas. H. 163; W. 204 cm Versailles, Musée National des Châteaux de Versailles et de Trianon, MV 2184. Provenance: Presented at the Academy on 30 January 1672 as a reception piece; confiscated during the Revolution in 1793; Dépôt de Nesle in 1796; Musée Spéciale de l’École Française à Versailles, Dogs’ Antechamber in Versailles under Louis-Philippe. In painting this reception piece at the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture, Jean Garnier was giving an astute response to the subject that had been imposed upon him. He was first instructed to paint the ‘Portrait du Roy en tableau, au milieu de divers fruictz et instruments des Arts’ [Portrait of the King in a tableau, surrounded by various fruits and instruments of the Arts]. This may seem a strange choice as it induced him to present the portrait of Louis XIV in an oval frame, suspended on braids by a red ribbon, which at first glance seems to reduce it to a purely decorative item in the midst of all the other elements comprising the still life. The work, however, is open to several levels of interpretation. Indeed, its symbolic nature did not escape contemporary viewers: ‘The King appears surrounded by fruit and a number of musical instruments, signifying in allegorical fashion the bounty of the kingdom and the harmony and concord that prevail in the government of the State.’ Louis XIV dominates the scene.

Artemis: Depictions of Form and Femininity in Sculpture Abstract Grecian sculpture has been the subject of investigation for centuries. More recently, however, emphasis in the field of Art History on the politics of gender and sexuality portrayal have opened new avenues for investigation of those old statues. In depicting gender, Ancient Greek statuary can veer towards the non- binary, with the most striking examples being works depicting Hermaphroditos and ‘his’ bodily form. Yet even within the binary, there are complications. Depictions of the goddess Artemis are chief among these complications of the binary, with even more contradiction, subtext, and varied interpretation than representations of Amazons. The umen rous ways Artemis has been portrayed over the years highlight her multifarious aspects, but often paint a contradictory portrait of her femininity. Is she the wild mother? The asexual huntress? Or is she a tempting virgin, whose purity is at risk? Depictions of her in sculptural form, deliberately composed, offer answers.

    't/l Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2016 with funding from Princeton Theological Seminary Library https://archive.org/details/newprincetonrevi3318unse THE NEW PRINCETON REVIEW, 62d Year. MAY, 1887. No. 3. NAPOLEON BONAPARTE. III. On taking a near view of the contemporaries of Dante and Michael Angelo, we find that they differ from us more in character than in intellect. With us, three hundred years of police and of courts of justice, of social discipline and peaceful habits, of hereditary civilization, have diminished the force and violence of the passions natural to man in Italy, in the Renaissance epoch, they were still ; intact human emotions at that time were keener and more pro- ; found than at the present day the appetites were more ardent and ; more unbridled man’s will was more impetuous and more tena- ; cious ; whatever motive inspired him, whether pride, ambition, jea- lousy, hatred, love, envy, or sensuality, the inward spring strained with an energy and relaxed with a violence that has now disap- peared. All these energies reappear in this great survivor of the fifteenth century; in him the play of the nervous machine is the same as with his Italian ancestors; never was there, even with the Malatestas and the Borgias, a more sensitive and more impulsive brain, one capable of such electric shocks and explosions, in which the roar and flashes of the tempest lasted longer and of which the effects were more irresistible. One day, at Paris, toward the epoch of the Concordat, he says to Senator Volney, “ France wants a religion.” Volney replies in a frank, sententious way, “ France wants the Bour bons.” Whereupon he gives Volney such a kick in the stomach that he falls unconscious being conveyed to a friend’s house, he ; on 19 290 NAPOLEON BONAPARTE.

A. ELLIS PUBLISHED BY C. A. ELLIS, MANAGER 1541 : : Vladimir De Pachmann The Greatest Pianist Of the 20th Century ON TOUR IN THE UNITED STATES SEASON: 1911-1912 For generations the appearance of new stars on the musical firmament has been announced — then they came with a temporary glitter — soon to fade and to be forgotten. De Pachmann has outlived them all. With each return he won additional resplendence and to-day he is acknowl- edged by the truly artistic public to be the greatest exponent of the piano of the twentieth century. As Arthur Symons, the eminent British critic, says "Pachmann is the Verlaine or Whistler of the Pianoforte the greatest player of the piano now living." Pachmann, as before, uses the BALDWIN PIANO for the expression of his magic art, the instrument of which he himself says " .... It cries when I feel like crying, it sings joyfully when I feel like singing. It responds — like a human being — to every mood. I love the Baldwin Piano." Every lover of the highest type of piano music will, of course, go to hear Pachmann — to revel in the beauty of his music and to marvel at it. It is the beautiful tone quality, the voice which is music itself, and the wonderfully responsive action of the Baldwin Piano, by which Pachmann 's miraculous hands reveal to you the thrill, the terror and the ecstasy of a beauty which you had never dreamed was hidden in sounds.
