  • Wandlungen in Paul Hindemiths Bach-Verständnis Welches
    BACH-BILDER IM 20. JAHRHUNDERT Hermann Danuser: DER KLASSIKER ALS JANUS? Wandlungen in Paul Hindemiths Bach-Verständnis Welches theoretische Modell man auch immer für den Gegenstand einer "Wirkungs-" oder "Rezeptionsgeschichte" bevorzugt - man kann, um grob zu kontrastieren, entweder von der Vielgestaltigkeit eines OEuvres ausgehen, dessen geistig-künstlerische Potenz auf Zeit- genossenschaft und Nachwelt "wirkt", oder aber von der Mannigfaltigkeit der Konkreti- sierungen, in denen Mit- und Nachwelt ein OEuvre "rezipiert" - , in jedem Fall darf man dem \~erk Johann Sebastian Bachs seit dem 19. Jahrhundert den Status der Klassizität beimessen, später gar - so meine ich - den einer Universalität, die von der Musik keines anderen Komponisten übertroffen oder auch nur erreicht worden ist. Dies gilt auch für die erste Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts, in kompositionsgeschichtlicher Hinsicht für diesen Zeitraum sogar ganz besonders, überdauerte doch Bach als einziger Klassiker die musikhistorische Epochenzäsur um 1920 in ungeschmälertem Maße, indem er für Roman- tik und Moderne vor dem Ersten Weltkrieg ebenso wie danach für beide Richtungen des Neoklassizismus, für die neotonale Strawinskys und Hindemiths nicht minder als für die dodekaphone der Schönberg-Schule, von freilich verschiedenartiger, stets wieder erneu- erter Bedeutung war und blieb. Solch dauerhafte Geltung aber ist undenkbar ohne tief- greifendste Wandlungen in den Rezeptionsaspekten der Bachsehen Musik. Wer sich nun das Bach-Bild Paul Hindemiths vergegenwärtigt, wird wohl zuerst an

  • PAUL HINDEMITH (1895-1963) in the Later Years of His Life Paul Hindemith Had Become a Somewhat Neglected Figure
    TEMPO A QUARTERLY REVIEW OF MODERN MUSIC Edited by Colin Mason © 1964 by Boosey & Hawkes Music Publishers Ltd. PAUL HINDEMITH (1895-1963) In the later years of his life Paul Hindemith had become a somewhat neglected figure. Once ranked with Stravinsky and Bartok among the most stimulating experimenters of the 1920s, he later began to lose his hold on the public, and his influence on younger composers declined, especially after 1945, when serialism started to spread widely, leaving him very much isolated in his hostility to it. Now that that issue no longer greatly agitates the musical world, it is becom- ing possible to assess more clearly the importance and individuality of his con- tribution to 20th-century music. An obvious comparison is with his compatriot of a generation earlier, Max Reger, who was similarly prolific, and in his early days was reckoned daring, but whose work later revealed an academic streak. In Hindemith one might call it rather an intellectual, rational and philosophical streak, not fatal but injurious to the spontaneous play of his musical imagination. As early as 193 1 he wrote an oratorio Das Unaufhorliche, to a text by Gottfried Benn which mocks at human illusions of what is enduring, including (besides learning, science, religion and love) art. Hindemith's choice of such a subject seems to have been symptomatic of some scepticism on his own part about art, and although his innate creative musical genius could not be repressed, it was made to struggle for survival against the theoretical restraints that he insisted on imposing upon it.

Allegro non troppo ll. Allegretto quasi Minuetto lll. Allegro INTERMISSION (10’) PAUL HINDEMITH (1895-1963) Der Schwanendreher l. "Zwischen Berg und tiefem Tal" ll. "Nun laube, Lindlein, laube!“ lll. “Seid ihr nicht der schwanendreher” Program Notes: Johannes Brahms (1833-1897) Brahms' Sonata No. 1 in E minor, Op. 38 is the first of two sonatas for piano and cello. It was begun in 1862 during Brahms' stay in the mountain village of Bad Munster am Stein-Ebernburg, where he wrote the first two movements and an Adagio movement, which was later dropped. After the existing finale was added in 1865, Brahms dedicated the completed sonata to his friend Josef Gansbacher, an amateur cellist and professor at the Singing Akademie in Vienna. The deep sonorities and the haunting melodies of the Allegro non troppo create a mood throughout the movement that is melancholic and sometimes wistful. The opening theme is a beautiful melody which rises from the depths of the cello's low E, soars for a few moments, then wanders its way back down the G and C strings to give way to the piano entrance. Brahms uses chromaticism to charm in the Allegretto quasi Minuetto. Chromatic melodies in F-sharp minor and A major sweep through the cello line, creating appropriately edgy dissonances on the strong beats of the measure. Sighing figures played three times in succession make up the only asymmetrical phrases in the entire piece.

  • Hindemith Viola Project
    HINDEMITH VIOLA PROJECT CONCERT II DOCTORAL RECITAL KATHERINE LEWIS, Viola ,,, Wednesday, March 8, 2006 8:00 p.m. Lillian H. Duncan Recital Hall Z975 -2005 Ce l e b ratin g ~1/J Years THE SHEPHERD SCHOOL ~ SIC RICE UNIVERSITY The Hindemith Viola Project brings together fifteen viola students from the combined studios of Karen Ritscher and James Dunham to perform this unique series of concerts featuring music for the viola by the eminent German composer and violist Paul Hindemith. These stud­ ents have devoted much of the school year to learning and rehearsing this music in preparation for these concerts, and they participated in a series of all-Hindemith studio classes. Hindemith was a prolific com­ poser in all genres, and his numerous works for the viola occupy a sig­ nificant portion of the repertoire for the instrument. Hindemith's four Solo Sonatas and three Sonatas for Viola and Piano are presented on Tuesday and Thursday in a complete cycle that will demonstrate the virtuosic and sonorous qualities of the viola. These sonatas, composed between 1919 and 1939, are written in a variety of styles that reflect Hindemith's different influences and compositional phases. In addition, two chamber concertos are performed on Wednesday with orchestra: Kammermusik No. 5 and Trauermusik. All of these works were writ­ ten for Hindemith's own performance, and due to his intimate know­ ledge of the viola, they challenge the technique and skill of the violist in new and innovative ways. It is our hope that throughout the week, this project will not only showcase the talents and achievements of the violists at the Shepherd School, but also promote Paul Hindemith, who many consider to be the greatest and most creative violist-composer of all time.

  • MICHELE GIRARDI Opera E Teatro Musicale, 1890-1950 [1998]
    MICHELE GIRARDI Opera e teatro musicale, 1890-1950 [1998] Opera fin de siècle a. REALTÀ NAZIONALI. Nell’ultimo ventennio dell’Ottocento la situazione del teatro in musica era in pieno fermento. In primo luogo era andata assottigliandosi la differenza fra le tre scuole principali europee. A partire dagli anni Sessanta i modelli del grand opéra parigino, portato allo splendore da Meyerbeer, erano stati ripensati criticamente da Verdi, capofila incontrastato in Italia, e avevano arricchito il suo vocabolario drammatico. Wagner, dal canto suo, aveva attinto alla stessa fonte sin dal Rienzi (1842), assimilandone i valori formali e musicali ai soggetti della mitologia tedesca nel Lohengrin (1850), ma non in modo tale da guadagnare una totale autonomia al suo mondo drammatico. Anche l’esito sommo del Ring (1876) lascia vedere, al di là di un sistema musicale reso oramai autosufficiente in virtù del perfezionamento della tecnica del Leitmotiv, lo scheletro del dramma d’idee e le sue funzioni allegoriche che sorregge un affascinante mondo mitico riletto in chiave moderna. Parsifal (1882) chiuse la stagione creativa di Wagner: da quel momento il teatro tedesco avrebbe atteso un artista di levatura simile, ma prima che Richard Strauss comparisse sulle scene soltanto Humperdinck scrisse qualche pagina originale in Hänsel und Gretel (1893), opera fiabesca in cui l’uso del Leitmotiv è ricondotto in una dimensione sottratta al mero epigonismo. Una parentesi non del tutto riuscita fu Der Corregidor dell’austriaco Hugo Wolf (1896), musica di ottimo livello ma priva di una vera articolazione drammatica. La presenza di Wagner fu forse in proporzione più condizionante per l’opera in lingua tedesca rispetto a quella di Verdi nei confronti degli italiani.
