Auber Daniel
AUBER DANIEL Compositore francese (Caen, 29 I 1782 - Parigi, 13 V 1871) 1 Figlio di un venditore di stampe parigino e destinato dal padre al commercio di stampe, gli fu concesso tuttavia di dedicarsi alla sua passione per la musica: imparò a suonare diversi strumenti in tenera età dal compositore tirolese Josef Alois Ladurner (7 III 1769 - 20 II 1851). Compiuti i vent'anni, venne inviato a Londra dal padre a completare gli studi finanziari; fu costretto a lasciare l'Inghilterra a causa dello sfacimento del trattato di Amiens del 1804. Avendo già mosso i primi passi verso la composizione, produsse diversi "Concertos pour basse", alla maniera del violoncellista Lamarre, nel cui nome vennero pubblicati. I complimenti fattigli per il suo Concerto per violino, che venne eseguito al Conservatoire de Paris da Jacques Féréol Mazas, lo incoraggiarono a rimettere mano ad una vecchia opera buffa, Julie, nel 1811. Conscio della necessità di uno studio regolare nell'arte da lui scelta, si mise sotto il severo insegnamento di Luigi Cherubini, grazie al quale le capacità del giovane compositore vennero considerevolmente sviluppate. Nel 1813 la reazione sfavorevole al suo debutto operistico, Le séjour militaire, mise fine per qualche tempo ai suoi tentativi come compositore. Ma il fallimento aziendale e la morte del padre, avvenuta nel 1819, lo spinsero ancora una volta verso la musica, ed a fare di essa il suo mestiere. Scrisse un'altra opera, Le testamente et billets-doux, ma la reazione della critica non fu migliore della precedente. Tuttavia perseverò: venne premiato dal successo di La bergère chatelaine, un'opera in tre atti. -

Like all good composers of the French school, Auber stands out for the elegant clarity of his harmonization, an abundance of delightful and rhythmically striking melodies, sensible moderation in the use of outward effects, and for his beautiful instrumentation. What you cannot expect to find in Auber, though, are passionateness, moments of tempestuous yearning and powerful inspiration. In his works he appears before us as the same smart, cheerful, intelligent and well-bred Frenchman that he was in real life. —Peter Illych Tchaikovsky, 1872 TABLE OF CONTENTS List of Illustrations .................................................................................... -

! theoretical studies under Cherubini, which he continued with great ardor for a year or so. His first opera given in public was le Sejour militaire, in one act, which failed completely in 1813. After another failure in 1819, he scored a genuine success at the The'atre-Feydeau (the then Opera- Comique) with la Bergere chatelaine (3 acts) in 1820, and Emma, ou la pro- messe imprudente, confirmed his reputation the next year. About 1824, in which year his Concert a la Cour and Leocadie were brought out, a change in his manner was noticeable : his style became broader and more finished, his writing was, so to speak, on a larger scale ; this tendency became still more marked with le Magon, given in 1825, which is generally considered as marking the beginning of his second manner. This second period of Auber's closed in splendor with la Muette de Portici, given at the Academie de Musique in 1828. His masterpieces, la Fiancee, Fra Diavolo, Lestocq, le Domino noir, and le Cheval de Bronze belong to his third period. With les Diamants de la Couronne, brought out in 1841, his style began to expand still further, and, unlike most great composers, he entered upon a fourth period, to which belong his operas, la Part du Diable, la Sirene, and Maydie. Auber was undoubtedly the greatest, as well as one of the most charac- teristic, French writers of opera-comique ; it was in this vein that he was most at home and in which he won his greatest successes. Nevertheless, one of his grand operas, la Muette de Portici (better known in this country in its Italian version, Masanielld), is accounted his greatest masterpiece by some judges, and was moreover an epoch-making work.
