  • 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

Arabesques on By the Beautiful Blue Danube/Adolf Schulz-Evler LINER NOTES At the end of Johann Strauss’ 1875 operetta Die Fledermaus, all of the characters drink a toast to the real culprit of the story—“Champagner hat's verschuldet”—a fitting conclusion to the most renowned and potent evocation of the carefree life of post-revolution imperial Vienna. Strauss' sparkling score (never mind that the libretto is an amalgam of German and French sources), infused with that most famous of Viennese dances, the waltz, lent eloquent expression to the transitory atmosphere of confidence and prosperity induced by the Hapsburg monarchs. “The Emporer Franz Joseph I,” it would later be said, "only reigned until the death of Johann Strauss." And what could have provided more perfect source material than the music of Strauss, for the pastiche creations of the illustrious composer-pianists who roamed the world in the latter 19th and early 20th centuries, forever seeking vehicles with which to exploit the possibilities of their instrument and display their pianistic prowess? This disc presents a succession of such indulgent enterprises, all fashioned from Strauss’ music, for four notable composer-pianists: Moriz Rosenthal, Karl Tausig, Leopold Godowsky, and Adolf Schulz-Evler.

Il y a peu de temps encore, j’avais du mal à comprendre cela car, comme de nombreux musiciens, je trouvais la musique de Strauss un peu trop facile. Ce n’était pas encore le cas lorsque, à l’âge de dix ans, je déchiffrais les valses au piano sous l’œil attentif de mon premier professeur particulier. J’aimais cette musique mais le plaisir fut de courte durée. À l’école de musique où je fus ensuite élève, il était en effet interdit de jouer Strauss (et de prendre plaisir à quelque chose) ; Bach et Czerny prirent place sur le pupitre.

    SAN DIEGO SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA A CHAMBER MUSIC SERIES CONCERT David Danzmayr, conductor February 23, 2017 JOHANN STRAUSS II An der schönen blauen Donau (On the Beautiful Blue Danube), Op. 314 VILÉM TAUSKÝ Coventry: Meditation for String Orchestra INTERMISSION LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN Symphony No. 7 in A Major, Op. 92 Poco sostenuto – Vivace Allegretto Presto Allegro con brio An der schönen blauen Donau (On the Beautiful Blue Danube), Op. 314 JOHANN STRAUSS II Born October 25, 1825, Vienna Died June 3, 1899, Vienna On the Beautiful Blue Danube has become the most famous and best-loved of all Strauss waltzes, and so it is strange to learn that this waltz was originally composed for voices on an absurdly empty text by a minor Viennese police official. Not surprisingly, the music was a failure at its premiere on February 23, 1867, and – in a spectacular misjudgment of his own work – Strauss said: “The waltz was probably not catching enough.” But, freed of the text, it quickly caught on in a Vienna still recovering from military defeat the year before at the hands of the Prussians, and since then this waltz has become a virtual symbol of the city. On the Beautiful Blue Danube is a celebration of the city’s setting and of the great river that runs through Vienna on its way (eventually) to the Black Sea. In a larger sense, this waltz is a celebration of Vienna itself, and it is worth quoting Strauss on the meaning of that city to him: “If it be true that I have some talent I owe its development to my beloved native city, Vienna.
