  • Das ‚Hohe Kulturgut Deutscher Musik' Und Das ‚Entartete'
    Das ‚hohe Kulturgut deutscher Musik‘ und das ‚Entartete‘ Über die Problematik des Kulturorchester-Begriffs LUTZ FELBICK Musikwissenschaftler, Aachen Abtract Für die Sicherstellung einer nachhaltigen Musikpflege werden in Deutschland Mittel durch die öffentlichen Haushalte bereitgestellt. Zur Stabilität des Musiklebens tragen weiterhin tarifliche Absicherungen für die Mitglieder von Sinfonieorchestern bei. In größeren Städten werden die kommunalen Mittel für Musikförderung vor allem für diese Klangkörper eingesetzt, die schwerpunktmäßig die großen Orchesterwerke des 19. Jahrhunderts aufführen. Die existenzielle Absicherung von anderen Kulturschaf- fenden, die sich z. B. der großen Bandbreite früherer Musikepochen oder der musi- kalischen Vielfalt des 20./21. Jahrhunderts inklusive des Jazz widmen, spielt in der Kulturpolitik eine untergeordnete Rolle. Ein wichtiger historischer Meilenstein für die Entwicklung dieses kulturpolitischen Profils ist in der Etablierung des deutschen ‚Kul- turorchestersystems‘ zu suchen, welches seit 1938 kontinuierlich ausgebaut wurde. In diesem Beitrag wird die Begriffsgeschichte des ‚Kulturorchesters‘ skizziert. Die- ser Abgrenzungsbegriff wurde während der Amtszeit des Präsidenten der Reichsmusik- kammer, Peter Raabe, zum rechtlichen Terminus erhoben. Der Ausdruck impliziert den damaligen Kulturbegriff, insbesondere die musikideologischen Anschauungen Raabes. Angesichts dieses historischen Befundes kommt die Studie zu dem Ergebnis, der Begriff des ‚Kulturorchesters‘ sei nicht mehr tragbar. Die Analyse führt

What place did foreign musical performers have in Germany’s increasingly xenophobic employment market during the 1930s? Likewise, how did the Nazis deal with those musicians, and what margin of manoeuvre were foreigners given to carry out their craft? These are the questions that form the basis of this thesis. To answer them, I examine a collection of primary Reichsmusikkammer (Reich Music Chamber) records that are now held on microfilm in the United States National Archives, grouped under the description “Auftrittsgenehmigungen für Ausländer” (Performance Permits for Foreigners; specifically musicians).

  • Music and Politics in Hitler's Germany
    Music and Politics in Hitler’s Germany In the years 1933-1945, Hitler’s Nazi Party [National Socialist Democratic Workers Party / NSDAP] used music as a tool to forge political unity among Germans. Hitler and the senior NSDAP leadership instinctively grasped that among the arts, music was the most readily laden with ideology, and could inculcate both the youth and the masses with state-serving Bildung.1 Nazi music education, promoted heavily by and among the Hitler Youth, expanded along with concerns of “cultural Bolshevism,” and served as a counterpoint to “degenerate music.”2 Once in power, Hitler moved to purge music and music scholarship of Jews in an effort to promote the unique origin myths of the German Volk and further saturate citizens with racial theories. In keeping with origin myths and racialism were the Romantic works of the composer Richard Wagner, a prominent anti-Semite who would assume supreme musical status in Hitler’s Germany.3 In such a personalized regime as Hitler’s, the dictator’s tastes virtually defined official aesthetic norms.4 Throughout the period of Hitler’s chancellorship, the musical bureaucracy of the NSDAP would struggle to balance the tensions between art music (symbolized by Wagner) and popular demand for music such as jazz. These very tensions were also reflected in the musical policies of the German occupation of Eastern Europe and Soviet Russia, an occupation which simultaneously plundered antique musical treasures and brought about demand for popular fare behind the lines. Ultimately the adoring songs of the soldiers – many of them graduates of the Hitler Youth -- would transform into a dirge.

Despite a battery of operatic transcriptions and a storied variation set on Bellini’s ‘Suoni la tromba’ (I puritani), his only completed opera, Don Sanche (1825), is typically classed as an unsuccessful juvenile work of dubious authorship.1 All other planned operas of the 1840s and 1850s remained the embryos of ambition, including Richard of Palestine (Walter Scott), Le corsaire (Byron/Dumas), Consuelo (George Sand), Jankó (Karl Beck), Spartacus (Oscar Wolff), Marguerite (Goethe),2 Divina commedia (Dante/Autran), Email: [email protected] While preparing this article I have accrued a number of debts.

Scholars have long critiqued the most common tropes regarding the aesthetics of opera during the Third Reich—Richard Wagner around the clock, enforced militaristic kitsch, neo-Romantic bombast—and rejected the idea that the Reich’s bureaucratic efforts to control culture had as homogenizing an effect on German music as historians once thought.1 These tropes, which strategically alienated “Nazi music” from the historical teleology of Classical music and our common sense of musical “quality,” further enabled other, more pernicious myths to flourish: that great music is always autonomous, not political; that “Nazi” art (debased, instrumentalized) was something obviously distinct from “German” art (great, A version of this essay was first presented at the MIT Works in Progress Series and at the annual meeting of the American Musicological Society in Pittsburgh (November 2013).

    Erik Levi Resisting Nazism – Hartmann, Blacher and von Einem We are all too familiar with the extreme climate of fear perpetrated by the Nazi regime. The repressive measures unleashed by the totalitarian state were designed to muzzle opposition,makingitallbutimpossibletodefythestatusquo.Indeed,thosethatengaged in non-compliance were perfectly aware of the risks they were taking, and that the con- sequences of being found out could be severe. Nevertheless, charting the extent to which individuals might be regarded as being actively engaged in non-compliance or resistance during this period is by no means a straightforward process. It can prove particularly challenging in the case of cultural issues. The task of evaluating the often bewildering degree of responses by creative artists to the sequence of official directives that evolved during the “Third Reich” is invariably complex. It requires a certain degree of sensitivity in relating private thoughts, committed through diary entries and personal letters, or recounted in memoirs often published years later, with public action at the time. The question therefore arises as to whether it is possible to reconcile the inner recesses of the mind, that perhaps presented a stance of personal resistance, with day-to-day behaviour, which, to all intents and purposes, suggested obeisance and absolute political loyalty? This tension between the internal and external continues to be one of the major issues confronting scholars researching musical life in Nazi Germany. It begs a number of questions with regard to the position of some of the most prominent personalities. Yettemptingthoughitmightbetoclassifytheir activities as being specifically in either the complicit or resistance categories, such binary divisions prove far too blunt a tool to serve a useful purpose.
