  • A Culture of Recording: Christopher Raeburn and the Decca Record Company
    A Culture of Recording: Christopher Raeburn and the Decca Record Company Sally Elizabeth Drew A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Sheffield Faculty of Arts and Humanities Department of Music This work was supported by the Arts & Humanities Research Council September 2018 1 2 Abstract This thesis examines the working culture of the Decca Record Company, and how group interaction and individual agency have made an impact on the production of music recordings. Founded in London in 1929, Decca built a global reputation as a pioneer of sound recording with access to the world’s leading musicians. With its roots in manufacturing and experimental wartime engineering, the company developed a peerless classical music catalogue that showcased technological innovation alongside artistic accomplishment. This investigation focuses specifically on the contribution of the recording producer at Decca in creating this legacy, as can be illustrated by the career of Christopher Raeburn, the company’s most prolific producer and specialist in opera and vocal repertoire. It is the first study to examine Raeburn’s archive, and is supported with unpublished memoirs, private papers and recorded interviews with colleagues, collaborators and artists. Using these sources, the thesis considers the history and functions of the staff producer within Decca’s wider operational structure in parallel with the personal aspirations of the individual in exerting control, choice and authority on the process and product of recording. Having been recruited to Decca by John Culshaw in 1957, Raeburn’s fifty-year career spanned seminal moments of the company’s artistic and commercial lifecycle: from assisting in exploiting the dramatic potential of stereo technology in Culshaw’s Ring during the 1960s to his serving as audio producer for the 1990 The Three Tenors Concert international phenomenon.

  • Operetta After the Habsburg Empire by Ulrike Petersen a Dissertation
    Operetta after the Habsburg Empire by Ulrike Petersen A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Music in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in Charge: Professor Richard Taruskin, Chair Professor Mary Ann Smart Professor Elaine Tennant Spring 2013 © 2013 Ulrike Petersen All Rights Reserved Abstract Operetta after the Habsburg Empire by Ulrike Petersen Doctor of Philosophy in Music University of California, Berkeley Professor Richard Taruskin, Chair This thesis discusses the political, social, and cultural impact of operetta in Vienna after the collapse of the Habsburg Empire. As an alternative to the prevailing literature, which has approached this form of musical theater mostly through broad surveys and detailed studies of a handful of well‐known masterpieces, my dissertation presents a montage of loosely connected, previously unconsidered case studies. Each chapter examines one or two highly significant, but radically unfamiliar, moments in the history of operetta during Austria’s five successive political eras in the first half of the twentieth century. Exploring operetta’s importance for the image of Vienna, these vignettes aim to supply new glimpses not only of a seemingly obsolete art form but also of the urban and cultural life of which it was a part. My stories evolve around the following works: Der Millionenonkel (1913), Austria’s first feature‐length motion picture, a collage of the most successful stage roles of a celebrated

  • Chapter 1: Schoenberg the Conductor
    Demystifying Schoenberg's Conducting Avior Byron Video: Silent, black and white footage of Schönberg conducting the Los Angeles Philharmonic in a rehearsal of Verklärte Nacht, Op. 4 in March 1935. Audio ex. 1: Schoenberg conducting Pierrot lunaire, ‘Eine blasse Wäscherin’, Los Angeles, CA, 24 September 1940. Audio ex. 2: Schoenberg conducting Verklärte Nacht Op. 4, Berlin, 1928. Audio ex. 3: Schoenberg conducting Verklärte Nacht Op. 4, Berlin, 1928. In 1975 Charles Rosen wrote: 'From time to time appear malicious stories of eminent conductors who have not realized that, in a piece of … Schoenberg, the clarinettist, for example, picked up an A instead of a B-flat clarinet and played his part a semitone off'.1 This widespread anecdote is often told about Schoenberg as a conductor. There are also music critics who wrote negatively and quite decisively about Schoenberg's conducting. For example, Theo van der Bijl wrote in De Tijd on 7 January 1921 about a concert in Amsterdam: 'An entire Schoenberg evening under the direction of the composer, who unfortunately is not a conductor!' Even in the scholarly literature one finds declarations from time to time that Schoenberg was an unaccomplished conductor.2 All of this might have contributed to the fact that very few people now bother taking Schoenberg's conducting seriously.3 I will challenge this prevailing negative notion by arguing that behind some of the criticism of Schoenberg's conducting are motives, which relate to more than mere technical issues. Relevant factors include the way his music was received in general, his association with Mahler, possibly anti-Semitism, occasionally negative behaviour of performers, and his complex relationship with certain people.

  • Einige Österreichische Flüchtlinge in Großbritannien
    Einige österreichische Flüchtlinge in Großbritannien Von Reinhard Müller Die nachfolgende, in sechs Kategorien gegliederte Liste von etwa 2.000 österreichischen Flüchtlingen in Großbritannien betrifft den Emigrationszeitraum 1933 bis 1945. Aufgenommen wurden vor allem kreativ Tätige wie Künstler, Philosophen und Wissenschaftler. Dazu kommen Politiker, sofern sie wichtige Funktionen im österreichischen Exil innehatten. Bewusst wurden auch jene Emigranten aufgenommen, die nur eine gewisse Zeit in Großbritannien verweilten, um dann in das gewünschte Zielland - meist die U.S.A. - weiterzuwandern. Damit soll der Bedeutung Rechnung getragen werden, die Großbritannien als - meist erstem - Fluchtpunkt zukam. Außerdem wurden damit auch jene Flüchtlinge berücksichtigt, die von Großbritannien interniert und dann in ihrem Internierungsland - Kanada und Australien - blieben. Natürlich wurden aber auch solche Flüchtlinge aufgenommen, die ihre gesamte Emigrationszeit in Großbritannien verbrachten. Die Liste enthält vorwiegend Personen, die in den Grenzen des heutigen Österreich geboren wurden, sowie Monarchie-Österreicher, welche den überwiegenden Teil ihres Lebens in Österreich (in seinen heutigen Grenzen) verbrachten. Andere Monarchie-Österreicher finden sich nur in Auswahl. Dazu kommen noch Personen, die zwar nicht in Österreich geboren wurden, hier aber lange Zeit lebten oder wichtige Abschnitte ihres Lebens verbrachten. 1. Schriftsteller, Journalisten, Übersetzer und Verleger 2. Maler, Grafiker, Plastiker und Architekten 3. Komponisten, Musiker,

This early, crucial reception history has been incredibly significant and subversive; the details of the personal and political motivations behind deeply negative or manically positive responses to Schoenberg’s music have not been preserved with the same fidelity as the scandalous reactions themselves. We know that Schoenberg was feared, despised, lauded, and imitated early in his career, but much of the explanation as to why has been forgotten or overlooked.

  • Music Manuscripts and Books Checklist
    THE MORGAN LIBRARY & MUSEUM MASTERWORKS FROM THE MORGAN: MUSIC MANUSCRIPTS AND BOOKS The Morgan Library & Museum’s collection of autograph music manuscripts is unequaled in diversity and quality in this country. The Morgan’s most recent collection, it is founded on two major gifts: the collection of Mary Flagler Cary in 1968 and that of Dannie and Hettie Heineman in 1977. The manuscripts are strongest in music of the eighteenth, nineteenth, and early twentieth centuries. Also, the Morgan has recently agreed to purchase the James Fuld collection, by all accounts the finest private collection of printed music in the world. The collection comprises thousands of first editions of works— American and European, classical, popular, and folk—from the eighteenth century to the present. The composers represented in this exhibition range from Johann Sebastian Bach to John Cage. The manuscripts were chosen to show the diversity and depth of the Morgan’s music collection, with a special emphasis on several genres: opera, orchestral music and concerti, chamber music, keyboard music, and songs and choral music. Recordings of selected works can be heard at music listening stations. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756–1791) Der Schauspieldirektor, K. 486. Autograph manuscript of the full score (1786). Cary 331. The Mary Flagler Cary Music Collection. Mozart composed this delightful one-act Singspiel—a German opera with spoken dialogue—for a royal evening of entertainment presented by Emperor Joseph II at Schönbrunn, the royal summer residence just outside Vienna. It took the composer a little over two weeks to complete Der Schauspieldirektor (The Impresario). The slender plot concerns an impresario’s frustrated attempts to assemble the cast for an opera.

  • FREUD and the PROBLEM with MUSIC: a HISTORY of LISTENING at the MOMENT of PSYCHOANALYSIS a Dissertation Presented to the Faculty
    FREUD AND THE PROBLEM WITH MUSIC: A HISTORY OF LISTENING AT THE MOMENT OF PSYCHOANALYSIS A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Michelle R. Duncan May 2013 © 2013 Michelle R. Duncan FREUD AND THE PROBLEM OF MUSIC: A HISTORY OF LISTENING AT THE MOMENT OF PSYCHOANALYSIS Michelle R. Duncan, Ph. D. Cornell University 2013 An analysis of voice in performance and literary theory reveals a paradox: while voice is generally thought of as the vehicle through which one expresses individual subjectivity, in theoretical discourse it operates as a placeholder for superimposed content, a storage container for acquired material that can render the subjective voice silent and ineffectual. In grammatical terms, voice expresses the desire or anxiety of the third rather than first person, and as such can be constitutive of both identity and alterity. In historical discourse, music operates similarly, absorbing and expressing cultural excess. One historical instance of this paradox can be seen in the case of Sigmund Freud, whose infamous trouble with music has less to do with aesthetic properties of the musical art form than with cultural anxieties surrounding him, in which music becomes a trope for differences feared to potentially “haunt” the public sphere. As a cultural trope, music gets mixed up in a highly charged dialectic between theatricality and anti-theatricality that emerges at the Viennese fin- de-Siècle, a dialectic that continues to shape both German historiography and the construction of modernity in contemporary scholarship.

    Gustav Mahler’s Third Symphony: Program, Reception, and Evocations of the Popular by Timothy David Freeze A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Music Musicology) in The University of Michigan 2010 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Steven M. Whiting, Co-Chair Professor Albrecht Riethmüller, Freie Universität Berlin, Co-Chair Professor Roland J. Wiley Professor Michael D. Bonner Associate Professor Mark A. Clague © 2010 Timothy David Freeze All rights reserved To Grit ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The road leading to the completion of this dissertation was longer and more scenic than I ever intended it to be. It is a great pleasure to acknowledge here the many individuals and organizations that provided support and encouragement along the way. I am especially grateful to the co-chairs of my committee. Without the unflagging support of Steven M. Whiting, whose sage counsel on matters musical and practical guided me from start to finish, this project would not have been possible. I am equally indebted to Albrecht Riethmüller, whose insight and intellectual example were a beacon by whose light this dissertation took shape. I would also like to thank R. John Wiley, whose extensive and penetrating feedback improved the dissertation and my own thinking in countless ways, and Mark Clague and Michael Bonner, both of whom provided valuable comments on content and style. In Ann Arbor, I would like to acknowledge the support of the entire musicology faculty at the University of Michigan. Louise K. Stein gave helpful advice in the early stages of this project. In Berlin, I benefited from conversations with Federico Celestini, Sherri Jones, and Peter Moormann.

[Last revised July 29, 2017] Today in Vienna the greatest dramatic poet of our day is to be laid to rest. After a life full of struggle, misery, disappointment and bitterness he died at one of those rare moments when the high and the mighty were moved to begrudge him his laurels.2 The people from whom he came, that he loved, that he depicted in lasting portraits with all their virtues and vices, their hopes and despair, his people themselves did 1 Editorials in the Arbeiter-Zeitung were usually unsigned; Adler’s authorship was subsequently confirmed by David Josef Bach in D.

Over the next two decades he was employed as an editor and writer of short stories and naturalist plays whose usual topic was the conflicts between the petite bourgeoisie or peasantry and the lower classes.
