    RETROSPECTIVE SUMMER 2020 By Brian Wilson The decision to axe the ‘Second Thoughts and Short Reviews’ feature left me with a vast array of part- written reviews, left unfinished after a colleague had got their thoughts online first, with not enough hours in the day to recast a full review in each case. This is an attempt to catch up. Even if in almost every case I find myself largely in agreement with the original review, a brief reminder of something you may have missed, with a slightly different slant, may be useful – and, occasionally, I may be raising a dissenting voice.

  • The Concerto for Bassoon by Andrzej Panufnik
    THE CONCERTO FOR BASSOON BY ANDRZEJ PANUFNIK: RELIGION, LIBERATION AND POSTMODERNISM Janelle Ott Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2016 APPROVED: Kathleen Reynolds, Major Professor Eugene Cho, Committee Member John Scott, Committee Member James Scott, Dean of the School of Music Costas Tsatsoulis, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Ott, Janelle. The Concerto for Bassoon by Andrzej Panufnik: Religion, Liberation, and Postmodernism. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), May 2016, 128 pp., 2 charts, 23 musical examples, references, 88 titles. The Concerto for Bassoon by Andrzej Panufnik is a valuable addition to bassoon literature. It provides a rare opportunity for the bassoon soloist to perform a piece which is strongly programmatic. The purpose of this document is to examine the historical and theoretical context of the Concerto for Bassoon with special emphasis drawn to Panufnik’s understanding of religion in connection with Polish national identity and the national struggle for democratic independence galvanized by the murder of Father Jerzy Popiełuszko in 1984. Panufnik’s relationship with the Polish communist regime, both prior to and after his 1954 defection to England, is explored at length. Each of these aspects informed Panufnik’s compositional approach and the expressive qualities inherent in the Concerto for Bassoon. The Concerto for Bassoon was commissioned by the Polanki Society of Milwaukee, Wisconsin and was premiered by the Milwaukee Chamber Players, with Robert Thompson as the soloist. While Panufnik intended the piece to serve as a protest against the repression of the Soviet government in Poland, the U. S.

Alexander Goehr’s father, Walter Goehr (1903-60), a former member of Arnold Schoenberg’s master class at the Akademie der Künste in Berlin, was known not only for his productions of Claudio Monteverdi’s Vespers and operas but also for his performances of contemporary music. Compositions by Alexander Goehr, who has been called “Sandy” since childhood days, have been featured at renowned music festivals in Germany since the mid-1950s. In 1956 his Fantasia, Op. 4, was performed at the Darmstadt Internationale Ferienkurse für Neue Musik in a pro- gramme also including works by Ernst Krenek, Arnold Schoenberg, Luigi Nono and Bernd Alois Zimmermann.

  • Life's Work. Wagner's Tristan and the Critique of Biographism1
    ANDREAS DORSCHEL Life’s Work. Wagner’s Tristan and the Critique of Biographism1 Interpretation would be impossible if the expressions of life were utterly unfamiliar. It would be unneces- sary, were there within these expressions nothing that was unfamiliar. Interpretation, therefore, must take place between these two opposite extremes. Wilhelm Dilthey I. Mozart composed his great G minor Symphony because he was in a dark mood, Schubert set the cycle of poems Die schöne Müllerin to music because he was unhappily in love, Wagner created Tristan und Isolde because he was having an affair with Mathilde Wesendonck, Brahms wrote his Four Serious Songs because he sensed his approaching death: such assertions fulfil all the criteria of biographism. It is everywhere, yet at the same time hardly a reasonable person feels at ease with it. This contra- dictory state of affairs gives us good reason to examine the question of what makes biographism attractive, and what makes it inappropriate. Proponents of biographism attempt to draw conclusions from works about the mental makeup of their authors – and vice versa. In the simplest case this procedure is circular: Mozart wrote his G minor Symphony because he was in a dark mood. What is the evidence for this? The G minor Symphony. And what explains the genesis of the symphony? The dark mood. There may of course be independent evidence of this mood. A composer may have expressed such a mood in letters. However, this hardly makes biographism any more acceptable as an explanation of art. After all, 63 Andreas Dorschel many people get into dark moods, and yet they do not write symphonies in G minor – and certainly not this particular one, KV 550.

Here, unknowing is often not considered negative but is deemed a constitutive condition of knowledge. In historical anthropology, we have picked up on this insight and understanding and, following Helmuth Plessner, assume that the human being must be understood as “homo absconditus,” which itself is never completely recognizable. Following the “lin- guistic turn” in the final quarter of the twentieth century, there have been several “turns” in the cultural sciences (humanities), in which dealing with the limits of knowledge and tacit knowledge play an important role. 124 Unknowing as a Condition of the Humanities Unknowing plays an important role in anthropology, philosophy, and cultural studies.

  • Christoph Wulf
    Christoph Wulf Christoph Wulf Christoph Wulf Christoph Wulf is Professor for Anthropology and Education and a member of the Interdisciplinary Center for Historical Anthropology, of the special research area “Cultures of the Performative,” of the “Languages of Emotions” Center of Excellence, and of the “InterArt/Interart Studies” graduate and postgraduate program at the Free University Berlin. Life Wulf spent his childhood in a parsonage in Berlin-Britz. After his school-leaving examination at the Gymnasium Steglitz, he initially enrolled in a master’s program (History, Pedagogy, and Philosophy) at the Free University Berlin. He completed the program in 1968 with the receipt of a Master of Arts degree. During his studies he worked as a student aid for Johannes Flügge. He gave up his half-time assistant’s position with Flügge and went to Wolfgang Klafki in Marburg with a scholarship of the VW Foundation and the request to do his doctorate with him. In 1973 he received his doctorate under the advisorship of Klafki at the Philipp University of Marburg; in 1975 he habilitated there. In one of Klafki’s advanced graduate seminars, Wulf met Dietmar Kamper, with whom he would later work in Berlin.
