The piano music in this era also raised a new approach to pianism and the aesthetic of German Romanticism. Composed by three masters in both genres, selected piano works including Schubert’s Wanderer Fantasia Op.15, Schumann’s Fantasie Op.17, and Waldszenen, Op.82, and Brahms’s Sonata Op.5 in F Minor, demonstrate their innermost poetic quality, evident in their unique musical language, which is derived profoundly from the spirit of the lied. To explore the link between lied and piano music, the compositional background, and the thematic, harmonic and structural schemes of these works are analyzed in detail, along with the ways which vocal music had an impact on the style of these piano works. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This thesis has been done passionately, as insomuch as painfully. I wish to express my deep appreciation to Dr. Pendle, whose amazing knowledge, patience, and experience, guided me all the way through the challenging and difficult process during these years. I would also like to give my special thanks to my committee members, Professor Kenneth Griffiths and Professor Eugene Pridonoff, for their intelligent advice has contributed to the completion of this document. I have been so grateful to have Professor Frank Weinstock as my piano teacher. His incredible inspiration and true musicianship help me grow as a performer and a person, and this impact will last infinitely. Finally, I wish to express my gratitude to my dear parents, families, and friends, for their endless support and heartfelt encouragement.

    © 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

I couldn’t believe from the beginning of the first song it could possibly get any more ecstatic and full of emotion, and yet it did. It was a short step from there to Strauss opera for me, and with the birth of YouTube I sat until the early hours of many a morning in my tiny room at Edinburgh University, listening to, watching and obsessing over Der Rosenkavalier’s final trio and presentation of the rose.

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.
