Overture, "Der Freischutz" Carl Maria von Weber (Born at Eutin, Oldenburg, December 18, 1786; died at London, June 5, 1826) "Der Freischutz/ 7 a romantic opera in three acts, book by Fried- rich Kind, music by Weber, was first performed at Berlin, June 18, 1821. The first public performance of the overture was at Copen- hagen, October 8, 1820, when Weber was making a tour. Two hun- dred and nineteen of the three hundred and forty-two measures of this overture are in the opera itself, yet there is no thought of patchwork. The overture begins adagio, C major, 4-4. After eight measures of introduction there is a part-song for four horns. This section of the overture is not connected in any way with subsequent stage action. After the quarter the Samiel motive appears, and there is the thought of Max and his temptation. The main body of the over- ture is molto vivace, C minor,, 2-2. The sinister music rises to a climax, which is repeated during the casting of the seventh bullet in the Wolf's Glen. In the next episode, E-flat major, themes associ- ated with Max (clarinet) and Agathe (first violins and clarinet) appear. The climax of the first section reappears, now in major, and there is use of Agathe's theme. There is repetition of the demoniac music that introduces the Allegro, and Samiel's motive dominates the modulation to the coda, C major, fortissimo, which is the apotheosis of Agathe. The overture is scored for two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, four horns, two trumpets, three trombones, kettledrums, and strings. Concerto No. 2 in B-flat major, for Pianoforte and Orchestra, Op. 83 Johannes Brahms (Born at Hamburg on May 7, 1833 ; died at Vienna on April 3, 1897) This concerto was performed for the first time at Budapest, from manuscript, November 9, 1881, when the composer was the pianist.* On April 8, 1878, Brahms in company with Dr. Billroth and Carl Goldmark made a journey to Italy. Goldmark, who went to Rome to be present at the last rehearsals of his opera "Die Konigin von Saba,"—production was postponed until the next year on account of the illness of the leading soprano,—did not accompany his friends to Naples and Sicily. Returning to Portschach, Brahma sketched themes of the Concerto in B-flat major on the evening before his birthday ; but he left the sketches, in which "he mirrored the Italian spring turning to summer," undeveloped. His violin concerto originally contained a scherzo movement. Conferring with Joachim he omitted this movement. Max Kalbeck thinks that this Scherzo found a home in the second pianoforte concerto. The concerto was published in 1882 with the dedication to "his *The statement made by Miss Florence May in her Life of Brahms (Vol. II., p. 194) that the first performance was at Stuttgart on November 22, 1881, is incorrect. ; clear friend and teacher Ednard Marxsen."* An edition for two pianofortes was also published in 1882. It was made by Brahms. At the first performance at Budapest in a Philharmonic concert in the Keclouten Saal, the concerto followed, as second number, Cherubim's "Medea" overture.

Certaine vérité conserve ses droits. Enfant, puis adolescent, j'ai bien connu Maurice Maeterlinck, soit chez mon père Lucien Descaves, soit chez mon oncle le Dr Crépel, qui fut l'un des premiers à préconiser et à utiliser les traitements à l'électricité, et qui comptait dans sa clientèle les plus hautes personnalités du monde de la Politique, des Arts et des Lettres : de Briand à Clemenceau, de Tristan Bernard à Pierre Loti, de Gémier à Claude Debussy. Les relations entre Lucien Descaves et Maurice Maeterlinck dataient du Théâtre Libre, au lendemain du fameux article d'Octave Mirbeau, paru dans le Figaro du 24 août 1890 : « M.

Climax as Orgasm: On Debussy’s L’isle joyeuse This article discusses the relationship of musical climax and orgasm by considering the case of L’isle joyeuse, a piano piece that Claude Debussy (1862-1918) began in 1903, completing it in the Summer of 1904 soon after starting a sentimental relationship with Emma Bardac, née Moyse (1862-1934), his second wife and the mother of his daughter Claude-Emma, alias ‘Chouchou’ (1905-1919). By exploring the genesis of the piece, I suggest that the creative process started as the pursuit of a solitary exotic male fantasy, culminating in Debussy’s sexual encounter with Emma and leading the composer to inscribe their shared experience in the final, revised form of the piece.

  • Maeterlinck Et Robert Scheffer. À Propos D'un
    Maeterlinck et Robert Scheffer. À propos d’un compte rendu du Chemin nuptial (1895) Fabrice van de Kerckhove Archives et Musée de la littérature Bibliothèque Royale de Belgique Méditant sur sa propre personne, sur le futur et l’absolu, M. Maeterlinck commença par opiner que le monde n’est que drame et ténèbres. Pour y voir clair il alluma une lanterne sourde; et dès lors ce fut devant ses yeux le plus étrange défilé d’êtres falots, s’agitant confusément dans la pénombre, se cherchant et ne se trouvant pas, se lamentant, petit peuple de farfadets élégiaques aspirant à la grande lumière en murmurant, qui sa complainte, qui sa chanson de nourrice, qui son frêle amour, tous leur angoisse. […] Conformément à la vision qu’il venait d’avoir, il agença des scènes de lanterne magique, suavement effroyables. Avec des gestes d’automates, les mêmes personnages peints sur papier huilé, @nalyses, vol. 7, nº 3, automne 2012 se disaient des choses, des choses... indicibles. Avant tout les intriguait ce qui peut bien se passer derrière une porte close; rien que de redoutable, évidemment. Ce pourquoi, ils allaient y voir, et, tels des rats pris au piège, expiraient, en grignotant des alexandrins blancs, de Bruxelles. D’ailleurs, ils avaient tous une infirmité, l’un était aveugle, l’autre sourd, le troisième boiteux, celui-là, vraiment déraisonnablement vieux; ce qui expliquait bien des catastrophes. Quant aux héroïnes, autant de blondes miss angéliquement pures, décalquées de Botticelli, et tombant dans la gueule du loup avec des froissements de robe neigeuse, des éparpillements de fleur d’oranger, et le cri suprême : « oh maman! » Elles avaient en général pour compagnon un petit mouton blanc qui bêlait des « lieder » de Gabriel Fabre.

  • MUSIC and the ECLIPSE of MODERNISM By
    SIGNAL TO NOISE: MUSIC AND THE ECLIPSE OF MODERNISM By MATTHEW FRIEDMAN A Dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in History written under the direction of T.J. Jackson Lears and approved by ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey May 2013 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Signal to Noise: Music and the Eclipse of Modernism By MATTHEW FRIEDMAN Dissertation Director: T.J. Jackson Lears There was danger in the modern American soundscape; the danger of interruption and disorder. The rhetoric of postwar aural culture was preoccupied with containing sounds and keeping them in their appropriate places. The management and domestication of noise was a critical political and social issue in the quarter century following the Second World War. It was also an aesthetic issue. Although technological noise was celebrated in modern American literature, music and popular culture as a signal of technological sublime and the promise of modern rationality in the US, after 1945 noise that had been exceptional and sublime became mundane. Technological noise was resignified as "pollution" and narrated as the aural detritus of modernity. Modern music reinforced this project through the production of hegemonic fields of representation that legitimized the discursive boundaries of modernity and delegitimized that which lay outside of them. Postwar American modernist composers, reconfigured as technical specialists, developed a hyper-rational idiom of "total control" which sought to discipline aural disorder and police the boundaries between aesthetically- acceptable music and sound and disruptive noise.

Mason & Hamlin, Boston. Gentlemen : In a former letter to you I expressed my delight and satisfaction with your magnifi- cent pianofortes, and I have once more to thank you and to admire your untiring efforts to attain an artistic ideal. Your latest model, equipped with the centri(>etal tendon bars, has developed and intensified the qualities of its precursors and has surpassed my highest expectations. As you know, I have used these instruments under many different conditions, in recital, with orchestra, in small and in large halls, and their adaptability to all require- ments has equally astonished and delighted me. The tone is, as always, one of never- failing beauty, the action is wonderful in its delicacy and responsiveness, and I consider that, as an instrument for bringing into prominence the individual qualities of tone and touch of the player, the Mason & Hamlin piano stands absolutely pre-eminent. The vertical grand (style O) is the only instrument of its kind, as far as I am aware, capable of giving complete satisfaction lo any one accustomed to play upon a grand, and I have no hesitation in saying that it is without exception the finest upright piano I have ever met with.
