UCLA Catalog Record ID UCLA Catalog Record ID: 6107219 Biography Zeisl was born in Vienna on May 18, 1905. A student of Richard Stöhr, Joseph Marx and Hugo Kauder, Zeisl achieved early recognition, publishing his first songs at the age of 16 and winning the Austrian State Prize in 1934 for the Requiem concertante (1933-1934). He was compelled to leave Austria and went first to Paris (1938) and then to the USA (1939). He moved from New York to Hollywood to work for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (1941), then settled in Los Angeles and became professor of theory and composition at Los Angeles City College in 1949. His gifts for melody, orchestration and dramatic expression were first developed in the songs of his Austrian years. Evident in his other Austrian compositions are the variation techniques and contrapuntal textures that would become lifelong preoccupations. In the USA, where he produced roughly half of his output, he abandoned song in order to devote more attention to instrumental pieces, sacred music and especially dramatic works, which powerfully express his Jewish heritage. Throughout his career he derived his large forms principally from those of the Baroque and Classical periods, but after his emigration earlier Austro-German Romantic elements were replaced by a combination of soaring, cantillation-like melodies, modal harmonies, metric shifts, flexible rhythmic patterns and dark orchestral colours. Zeisl died in Los Angeles on Feb. 18, 1959.

  • Job, Zeisl, Exile, and the Suffering of the Ordinary
    Job, Zeisl, Exile, and the Suffering of the Ordinary MICHAEL BECKERMAN Mendel Singer, the protagonist of the Josef Roth’s 1930 novel, Job gets out his phylacteries, takes off his prayer shawl, and prepares to throw both into the fire. He wants to burn them, but cannot bring himself to do so. Instead he curses the Almighty: “God is cruel, and the more one obeys Him the more brutally He treats one. He is mightier than the most mighty; with the nail of one of His little fingers He can wipe them out, but He does not do it. Only the weak He gladly destroys. The weakness of a man tempts His strength and obedience awakens his scorn.” And why shouldn’t Mendel Singer, a “pious, ordinary and utterly commonplace man” from Galicia curse the Lord? Didn’t he have four children who broke his heart; Jonas, a soldier who drank vodka with the peasants; Shemaria, interested only in money; Miriam, who lies with soldiers in the fields, and poor crippled Menuchim, deformed and mute? Hasn’t the flesh of his wife, Deborah become alien to him? And didn’t the whole family move to America, abandoning poor Menuchim, only to confront an endless wave of sorrows? The composer Eric Zeisl encountered Roth’s Job in Paris in 1939 when the director Paul Gordon asked him to write some incidental music for a staged version being put to honor the author just after his death. Himself a recent exile from Vienna, where he had enjoyed considerable early success, Zeisl quickly came to identify with Mendel Singer, and also with his mute but somehow visionary son, Menuchim.

Soucieux de ne pas enfermer la notion de mémoire dans un cadre rigide, il s’appuie sur la musique comme vecteur vivant de transmis- sion, en programmant les œuvres de ces compositeurs persécutés lors de concerts et en commandant à des artistes contemporains des œuvres destinées à leur rendre hommage. Conçu à l’origine comme un projet musical, le projet Voix Etouffées est rapidement devenu un projet de politique culturelle au fur et à mesure que ses organisateurs prenaient conscience du fait que les thèmes qu’ils abordaient les mettaient en contact permanent avec des problématiques européennes contemporaines : le sort des mi- norités dans l’Europe moderne, le rôle constructif de la culture dans l’élaboration de la maison commune européenne, les stades très variés de prise de conscience des conséquences du fascisme et du stalinisme dans la culture européenne.

  • Erwin Schulhoff (1894-1942): an Analytical Study and Discussion
    ERWIN SCHULHOFF (1894-1942): AN ANALYTICAL STUDY AND DISCUSSION OF CONCERTINO FOR FLUTE, VIOLA, DOUBLE BASS, WV 75, AND SONATA FOR FLUTE AND PIANOFORTE, WV 86 Maria D Alene Harman, B.A., M.M., G.A.C. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS December 2011 APPROVED: Mary Karen Clardy, Major Professor Warren Henry, Committee Member Jeffrey Bradetich, Committee Member Lynn Eustis, Director of Graduate Studies in Music James C. Scott, Dean of the College of Music James D. Meernik, Acting Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Harman, Maria D Alene. Erwin Schulhoff (1894-1942): An analytical study and discussion of Concertino for Flute, Viola, Double Bass, WV 75, and Sonata for Flute and Pianoforte, WV 86. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), December 2011, 95 pp., 20 musical examples, 18 tables, references, 85 titles. Erwin Schulhoff (1894–1942) was a Czechoslovakian musician born in Prague, to a German-Jewish family, and whose life came to a premature end in 1942 at the Wülzburg concentration camp, near Weißenburg, Bavaria. Schulhoff’s life, compositional style, and two of his flute works are addressed in this dissertation: Sonata for Flute and Pianoforte, WV 86, and Concertino for Flute, Viola, and Double Bass, WV 75. Each work is considered as a discrete entity, and insight provided into the structure of the music; stylistic and compositional influences, form, phrase structure, and other aspects are discussed. The intended audience is the flutist seeking knowledge regarding the historical significance and performance of each piece. The analysis and summary of Schulhoff’s life and primary flute works will contribute to the understanding of performance scholarship of his music and provide a deeper understanding of the composer, from the perspective of musical and compositional style.

Zeisl composed his Second String Quartet in Los Angeles, the city that welcomed the composer in his exile. In addition to a short biography of Zeisl, this study investigates the context in which the Second Quartet was written. This paper also approaches Zeisl’s quartet from the perspective of a string quartet player, and offers in depth guidance to performers wishing to present this work. Chapter III includes a structural analysis of the piece, and highlights Zeisl’s remarkably sophisticated use of contrapuntal techniques and blending of various idioms. Chapter IV compares the manuscript, housed in UCLA’s Charles E. Young Library, to the printed ii edition, and offers solutions to the discrepancies between these sources.

So auch beim Schloss Laudon: Das erste Gebäude aus dem 12. Jahrhundert wurde später von österreichischen Herzögen erworben und 1460 als Hochzeitsgeschenk Kaiser Friedrichs III an seine Frau Eleonore von Portugal gegeben. Nach der Zer- störung durch die Türken im Jahr 1529 renovierte es zunächst der Glasfabrikant Piti, bald danach kam das Schloss aber wieder in kaiserlichem Besitz und verblieb in diesem auch nach einer schweren Beschädigung in der zweiten Türkenbelagerung und abermaliger Renovierung. Elisabeth Christina, die Mutter Maria Theresias, verbrachte 1708 die Tage vor der Hochzeit mit Karl VI in diesem Gebäude. Im Jahr 1776 wurde es nach den militärischen Erfolgen des Feld- marschalls Gideon von Laudon auf der Basis einer kräftigen fi- nanziellen Zuwendung des Kaiserhauses von diesem erworben. Die Übung, sich für große militärische Erfolge im Interesse des Kaiserhauses von diesem ein Schloss schenken zu lassen, hat der alte Feldherr wohl vom Prinzen Eugen übernommen, der es auf diese Weise zu einer stattlichen Sammlung von Repräsentations- bauten und zu einem für seine Zeit geradezu sagenhaften Reich- tum brachte.
