With »Hunter’s Bride - Der Freischütz« Jens Neubert has created something great new. He looked right into this masterpiece of Carl Maria von Weber - felt it and especially listened to it. He made Weber’s »Der Freischütz« a matter close to his heart. The director left Webers’s novel music and its colorful sounds integral in a won- derful way, interpreted it in a classic way and, in a congenial way, transported the work into the composer’s unrest and upheaval. Thanks to his creative use of the medium of film, he can give the plot the originally intended drama, with excellent vocals and performance support from a great team of international world-class singers. My great, great, great grandfather would have been delighted with this all-round Christian Max Maria von Weber with Jens Neubert 2010 harmonious version because he was understood so well. He would have loved the interpreters of Agathe and Ännchen, they are so wonderful to listen to and beautiful to look at and of course he would have admired the singers, as well as the great camera work, wonderful colors and costumes! All the artists in »Hunter’s Bride« let their characters live intensely and you literally suffer with the young lovers and heroes in these dire, disoriented war and resto- ration years of the early 19th century. Jens Neubert has succeeded in creating a masterpiece in every respect with this coherent opera film. It is another important milestone in the reception history of the »Der Freischütz«. Christian Max Maria von Weber Great-great-great-grandson of the composer 4 Carl Maria von Weber His full name: Carl Maria Friedrich Ernst von Weber. Born on November 18 or 19, 1786, in Eutin, Germany, as son of Genovefa and Anton, Carl started into a life full of ups and downs of the Napoleonic wars. He was a brilliant composer, conductor, musician and author of the romantic school. Today most people know at least his famous opera »Der Freischütz« (»Hunter’s Bride«), or even »Oberon« and »Euryanthe«. Furthermore, the »Freischütz« is often regarded as the first German »national« opera. It is true that people of his time experienced the performances like today’s rock concerts; Its melodies are at the same time sensitive, tuneful, catchy and overwhelming. Carl Maria was wandering through Europeg as a child: His father had a touring theatre until 1796. It was also his father who recognized the great talent of Carl Maria and devoted a lot of time into his musical training. Carl soon gave his first great performances. Aged 18, Carl Maria was already the musical director and conductor in Breslau (Silesia). At this time, he began to reform the performance practice, as it is widely valid until today. The press usually was full of praise. How- ever, sometimes the critics wrote that he conducted a bit too fast. In 1807, Carl Maria had to leave Silesia due to the invasion of Napoleonic troops. Portrait of Carl Maria von Weber After he held the rather boring office of an intimate state secretary in Württem- berg until 1810 – but stimulatingly composing works; for piano, his opera »Silvana«, etc. – he started again years of traveling through Germany and Europe. He finally settled down as head of the Prague musical theatre in 1813, where he fell in love with the married actress and dancer Therese Brunetti. Hence this passion did not prove successful, he turned to the beautiful black-haired Caroline Brandt. He had to make a lot of efforts until they finally got married in 1817. However, Prague turned out to be the wrong environment for his creativity; beside the everyday work in the theatre and concert tours, he did not have enough time for his com- positions. Therefore, the couple decided to move to Dresden where he became Court Kapellmeister and went on with reforms and compositions. Dresden, August Bride and Court Theatre His opera premieres of »Euryanthe« (1823 in Vienna), »Oberon« (1826 in Lon- don) and especially of »Der Freischütz« (1821 in Berlin) became a resounding success and profiled him as a European composer. Carl Maria von Weber’s life must have been fairly exhausting; next to all his travelling he had been fighting tuberculosis since child days. In February 1826, he traveled to Paris and further to London where he died in the night of June 4–5, 1826, aged 39. He was buried in the tomb of Moorsfield Chapel but in 1844, his coffin transferred to Dresden where the composer Richard Wagner gave his famous eulogy »At Weber’s last resting place«. However, we would like you to remember Carl Maria von Weber as a man sitting in his garden house in Hosterwitz near Dresden, composing the »Freischütz«, sur- New market in Dresden rounded by beloved Caroline, his son Max Maria (born in 1822) and a lot of pets; among them a turtle, a monkey, a cat and a dog. When enjoying the evenings in his garden, he sometimes used to lift his cap and to the say: »Thanks god – I guess that I am the happiest man in the world«. 5 Works Carl Maria von Weber had been composing all his life. His life’s work comprise more than 400 pieces, and more than 30 poets – among them William Shake- speare, Ludwig Tieck or Carl Maria himself – contributed the texts (i.e. »librettos«) to his compositions. Very often, Carl Maria dedicated his works to persons who were important to him: e.g. to crowned heads such as King Johann I. of Saxony, or to poets such as Johann Friedrich Kind, or to his wife Caroline. Carl Maria’s first work was published when he was 12 years old (»Sechs Fughet- ten« i.e. »Six Fughettas«). To his works of course belong stage entertainments such as the operas »Der Freischütz« (Hunter’s Bride), »Euryanthe«, »Oberon«, »Silvana«, or »Peter Schmoll and his neighbors«, but also numerous pieces of chamber, piano as well as sacred music, music for ballets, waltz, marches, songs, and even fanfares. Furthermore, Carl Maria also had been a gifted author. He not only wrote hun- dreds of letters to an awful lot of people, but also diaries, short stories, essays and articles as music journalist. His polished diction was famous for his refined humor. 6 Travels Carl Maria von Weber had been traveling all his life. After he was born in Eutin, he moved with his parents to Hamburg in 1787. Before and after the move, Weber used to travel to Vienna to visit relatives living there. However, already in 1789, he joined a drama society, performing in sev- eral German cities, among them Kassel; but starting from 1789 until 1796, Carl Maria traveled together with his family across Europe to Nuremberg, Bamberg, Bayreuth, Weimar, Salzburg and so on. After a father-and-son-tour through Saxony and Bohemia, they ended up in Freiberg, which was a mining centre at the time. In 1804, Carl Maria moved via Salzburg, Munich, Augsburg and probably Karls- bad to Breslau (Silesia) where he became a musical director and conductor. Due to movements of the Napoleonic troops, he turned to Württemberg, where he spent the years from 1807–1810 as a state secretary of Duke Louis, the young- er brother of the Württemberg King. Funny enough, Carl Maria himself called the following years until 1813 his »travel- ing years«. However, looking for a job and giving concerts, he once again traveled through Germany to finally stay in Prague until 1816. Unsatisfied with his more uncreative job at the musical theatre, Carl Maria moved in 1817 to Dresden as Court Kapellmeister; premieres of his operas »Der Freischütz« (1821 in Berlin), »Euryanthe« (1823 in Vienna), »Oberon« (1826 in London) and concert tours led him to Paris and all through Europe. From this eventful, unsettled life it can be easily understood that Carl Maria is far from being a national but a European composer, as a cosmopolitan artist who was well versed in the ways of the world. He even included a Chinese tune in his incidental music for the theatre play »Turandot«. Hohenstein, Germany Pirna, Germany Tetschen, Germany 7 8 Der Freischütz - The Plot Act 1: EVIL POWERS BEGINS TO GATHER Following the end of the war, a marksmanship contest is held during which a pros- perous farmer (Kilian) is proclaimed the winner and not the young hunter Max, who on the next day is supposed to succeed the head gamekeeper Kuno and marry his daughter Agathe.

    __________________________________________________________________________ 2 MUSIKSTUNDE mit Trüb Freitag, 15. 2. 2013 „Weber, Wald und Wolfsschluchzen: Das Theatergenie Carl Maria von“ (5) MUSIK: INDIKATIV, NACH CA. … SEC AUSBLENDEN Carl Maria von Weber war ein Komponist der Zukunft. Zeitlebens genoss er kein besonders hohes Ansehen innerhalb der „Zunft“ - aber die Nachgeborenen verehren ihn. In seinen Memoiren etwa schrieb Héctor Berlioz: „Der Komponist hat den kindischen Forderungen der Mode und den noch gebieterischeren Forderungen der Sängereitelkeit (…) nirgends auch nur im geringsten nachgegeben. Er hat seine schlichte Wahrhaftigkeit, seine stolze Ursprünglichkeit, seinen Hass gegen den Formelkram, seine Würde dem Publikum gegenüber, dessen Beifall er durch keine feige Herablassung erkaufen wollte, seine Größe ebenso im Freischütz wie im Oberon bewahrt.“ Robert Schumann fand im Weber'schen Oeuvre „alles höchst geistreich und meisterhaft“, Tschaikowsky hörte vor allem „(viel) Wärme, (…) Unmittelbarkeit der Eingebung, (vollständiges) Fehlen von Künstelei und technischer Anstrengung“. Claude Debussy meinte: „Er erforscht die Seele der einzelnen Instrumente und legt sie mit behutsamer Hand bloß. Sie offenbaren sich ihm und geben ihm mehr, als er gefordert hatte.“ Und im Gespräch mit Erwin Kroll, anno 1932, verriet Strawinsky lapidar: „Weber ist einer meiner Lieblingskomponisten.“ Nicht zu vergessen auch die Hommage der Tat: Gustav Mahler bewunderte Weber so sehr, dass er dessen Opernfragment „Die drei Pintos“ bis zur Bühnenreife bearbeitete, und Paul Hindemith schuf eines seiner bekanntesten Orchesterstücke nach Webers Schauspielmusik zu „Turandot“: Sinfonische Metamorphosen über Themen von Carl Maria von Weber. MUSIK: HINDEMITH, SINF. METAMORPHOSEN, TRACK 5 (3:54) Schönste Form des Komplimentes: das liebevoll umspielte Zitat.

    Three Quintets by and for Heinrich Joseph Baermann D.M.A. Document Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor Musical Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State Univeristy By Alisha Leighanne Miller Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2009 Document Committee: James M. Pyne, advisor Charles Atkinson, co-advisor Russel C. Mikkelson Copyright by Alisha Leighanne Miller 2009 Abstract Carl Maria von Weber and Giacomo Meyerbeer each dedicated a clarinet quintet to Heinrich Joseph Baermann in 1813; a few years later Baermann wrote three quintets for himself. Carl Maria von Weber‟s Quintet for clarinet, 2 violins, viola and cello in B- flat Major, op. 34, Giacomo Meyerbeer‟s Sonate for clarinet with accompaniment of 2 violins, viola and cello, and Heinrich Joseph Baermann‟s Quintet for clarinet, 2 violins, viola and cello with 2 bassoons, 2 horns and contrabass ad libitum in E-flat Major, op. 19, like all of the clarinet quintets from the second decade of the nineteenth century, are written for B-flat clarinet. Although officially chamber works, they each feature the clarinet as a solo instrument supported by an accompanimental texture. The string instruments introduce and development important motives, but with few exceptions the thematic material is presented by the clarinet. As one would expect, the clarinet lines contain passages of technical display and cantabile melodies; they also present contrasting elements such as wide leaps adjacent to minor second intervals and juxtaposition of duple and triple rhythms. Moreover, textural contrast is achieved ii through the alternation of clarinet and the full string quartet, as well as in dialogue between clarinet and a single string instrument.

A consideration of over 1500 opera reviews from close to thirty periodicals, however, paints a more complex picture. In addition to a fascination with the supernatural, composers were drawn to a variety of libretti, including Biblical and Classical topics, and considered the application of recitative and other conventions most historians have overlooked because of their un-German heritage. Despite the variety of approaches and conceptions of what a German opera might look like, writers from Vienna to Kassel shared a common aspiration to develop a true German opera. The new language of concert criticism found from specialized music journals like the Allgemeine musikalische Zeitung to the entertainment inserts of feuilletons like the Zeitung für die elegante Welt made the operatic endeavor of the early nineteenth century a national one rather than a regional one as it was in the eighteenth century. ii Copyright 2010, Kevin Robert Burke iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First, I would like to offer gratitude to all my colleagues, friends, and family who supported me with encouraging words, a listening ear, and moments of celebration at the end of each stage.

  • Dissertation Prospectus
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: THREE COMPOSER-CLARINETIST PARTNERSHIPS: MOZART-STADLER, WEBER-BÄRMANN, AND BRAHMS-MÜHLFELD Jihoon Chang, Doctor of Musical Arts, 2010 Directed by: Professor Michael Votta School of Music Collaborations between composers and performers have been responsible for some of the masterworks of Western music, and the repertoire is replete with works inspired by a particular performer‟s tone, technical prowess, musical artistry, or passionate expression. The clarinet repertoire is unique in that major composers from three periods in music history partnered with clarinetists and produced masterworks for the instrument. The relationships explored in this performance project are those of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) to Anton Paul Stadler (1753-1812), Carl Maria von Weber (1786-1826) to Heinrich Josef Bärmann (1784-1847), and Johannes Brahms (1833-1897) to Richard Mühlfeld (1856-1907). While all the three clarinetists were masters of the instrument, they differed in their approach to the instrument and in the style of their playing, and the composers‟ differing styles added to the variety of the resulting works. The operatic tendencies of Mozart and Weber were incorporated into their clarinet music, although Mozart‟s was more ensemble-oriented, while Weber‟s tended to a solo-with-accompaniment design. Stadler‟s virtuosity overcame the relatively primitive five-keyed instrument of his time, and Mozart must have had complete trust in his ability. He was also a “drinking buddy” and Masonic brother of Mozart. Both the intimacy of the relationship and Stadler‟s mastery are apparent in the Clarinet Quintet, KV 581 (1789), and Clarinet Concerto, KV 622 (1791).

  • Mimetischer Zauber: Die Englischsprachige Rezeption Deutscher Lieder in Den Usa, 1830-1880
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: MIMETISCHER ZAUBER: DIE ENGLISCHSPRACHIGE REZEPTION DEUTSCHER LIEDER IN DEN USA, 1830-1880 Armin Werner Hadamer, Doctor of Philosophy, 2005 Dissertation directed by: Professor Elke Frederiksen Department of Germanic Studies The English-language reception of German songs in the United States was a textual practice that extended across many social contexts in the 19th century. Translation, adaptation and circulation of these songs were a form of rhetorical and quasi mimetic representation that helped various American discourses constitute their worlds and identities (Transcendentalism, reform movements, revivalism, education, popular culture, political parties and the Civil War). Homi Bhabha’s concept of the “Third Space” is a valid approach to the reception as these discourses made German songs part of their negotiations of American national identity, class, moral values, gender, and ethnicity, thus creating their own usable as well as ambivalent German point of reference. German and American cultures did not simply coexist in symbiotic relations. Rather, as the reception shows, they constructed their identities and differences through multiple intertextual relations within a shared discursive sphere of song. Cultural transfer was thus as much an inside as an outside phenomenon. The dissertation builds on extensive archival research and a collection of several hundred German songs, each with melody and English text, ranging from the Classics, Romanticism, the Napoleonic Wars, to German, Austrian and Swiss folk songs. The main objective is to move the American reception of German songs from its hidden archival existence into the light of scholarly investigation by applying an interdisciplinary Cultural Studies approach. The dissertation uses Michel Foucault’s discourse analysis to refine this approach methodologically, demonstrating with an in- depth archeology the discursive function of the songs within their contexts.
