The Life of Goethe. Conclusion
THE LIFE OF GOETHE.* BY THE EDITOR. GOETHE began his great drama Got::: von Bcrlichingcn at the it in end of 1771 : he finished it in 1772 and submitted manu- script to Herder, but when Herder called the poet's attention to its shortcomings Goethe recast the whole, mercilessly canceled long pas- sages and introduced new material. In this revised shape he had it printed at his own expense in June 1773. because he could not find a publisher in Germany who would risk its publication. JOHANN BERNHARD BASEDOW. Many men of prominence had become interested in Goethe and visited him in his father's house. Among them must be mentioned first Johann Caspar Lavater (1741-1801), a pious pastor of Zurich, and Johann Bernhard Basedow, an educator of Hamburg. In com- pany with these two men, both with outspoken theological interests, the young worldling, as Goethe called himself in a poem of that period, undertook a trip along the Rhine in the summer of 1774. * The first instalment of this sketch appeared in the June number. 462 THE OPEN COURT.

Category 2 Strategies. 151 The ways in which thematic and harmonic gestures reappear go well beyond what can be captured by the standard notions of return or recapitulation.1 Like virtually all Western music, the music of the common-practice period is characterized by formal correspondences of various kinds. Such correspondences usually do not form exact symmetries, however, even at the phrase level. This stems partly, no doubt, from distaste for too much repetition and regularity—for predictability, that is, the negative side of the symmetrical coin.2 At this very early date, Riepel could scarcely be expected to realize what he was observing; later, of course, asymmetry would set in on a much greater scale.3 If one does not perceive how a work repeats itself, the work is, almost literally, not perceptible and therefore, at the same time, not intelligible. -

Dämonische Texturen. Der Durchkreuzte Wunsch in Goethes Wilhelm Meisters Wanderjahren
CORNELIA ZUMBUSCH Dämonische Texturen. Der durchkreuzte Wunsch in Goethes Wilhelm Meisters Wanderjahren „Der alternde Goethe“, so stellt Fritz Mauthner nicht ohne Ironie fest, „liebte die Worte Dämonen und dämonisch.“ Insbesondere im Gespräch mit Ecker- mann habe sich sein „Aberglaube an freundlich gesinnte Dämonen [...] gern und oft redselig“ geäußert: je höher ein Mensch, desto mehr stehe er unter dem Einfluß der Dämonen; Raphael, Mozart, Napoleon, auch Lord Byron, werden dämonisch genannt; das Dämonische werfe sich gern an bedeutende Figuren; in einer klaren prosaischen Stadt, wie Berlin, fände es kaum Gelegenheit sich zu manifestieren (1831). Sehr drollig ist es, wenn die subalternen Freunde mit einer Art von Echolalie Goethes Greisenworte wiederholen, und z.B. Eckermann eine kleine Abhandlung über das Dämonische zum besten gibt.1 Das Material für seine Bemerkungen zu Goethes Greisenstil und Eckermanns Echolalie findet Mauthner in den Gesprächen Eckermanns mit Goethe aus dem Jahr 1831. Diese Unterhaltungen werden parallel zur Überarbeitung des Schlussteils von Dichtung und Wahrheit geführt, in dem Goethe mehrfach auf das Dämonische zu sprechen kommt. Den Auftakt zum zwanzigsten und letz- ten Buch seiner Autobiographie, die von der Zeit zwischen seiner ersten Schweizer Reise und dem Aufbruch nach Weimar erzählt, bildet ein Passus, in dem Goethe die Erzählung des eigenen Lebens zum Bildungsroman formt. Man habe „im Verlaufe dieses biographischen Vortrags umständlich gesehn, wie das Kind, der Knabe, der Jüngling sich auf verschiedenen -
Goethe in Chicago
: GOETHE IN CHICAGO BY ROSE J. SEITZ, A.M. Tilden Technical High School, Chicago THxA.T Chicagoans, keenly interested in and busily occupied with the stirring events of Civil-War days, nevertheless did not lose their contact with German literature and their admiration for Goethe reveals itself strikingly in a poem found in the issue of the Chicago Sonntags-Zeituug for December 14, 1862.1 It is entitled Der Erlkonig and cleverly applies the central theme of Goethe's poem to the political affairs of that memorable time. In this poem Abraham Lincoln is the father riding through the night with his child Seward, his secretary of state, in his arms. Jefiferson Davis, tempting Seward with promises of favors from the rich Southland, takes the place of the Erlking, who lures the child in Goethe's poem. Davis, as the Erlking, succeeds in drawing Seward to a compromise and destroying him in the eyes of the people. The poem is as follows Wer reitet so spat durch Xacht und Wind? Es ist Herr Lincoln, der milde gesinnt, Er halt den Seward wohl in dem Arm, Er halt ihn sicher, er halt ihn warm. "Sag", Seward, was birgst du so bang dein Gesicht?" "Siehst unten du den Jefif. Davis nicht? ?" Jefif. Davis mit seinem Rebellenschweif "Mein Sohn, es ist ein Nebelstreif." "Du lieber Seward, komm' geh" mit mir, Gar viele Dinge versprech' ich dir. Viel Baumwolle wachst in unsrem Land, !" Ich driicke dir A'ieles zum Dank in die Hand "O Lincoln, Lincoln, horst du denn nicht, Was Davis mir so kiihn verspricht?" "Sei ruhig, bleibe ruhig, mein Kind, !" Die ganze Geschichte ist nichts als Wind "Willst, feiner Kunde, du mit mir geh'n, Der Siiden soil deiner warten schon, Wir fiihren zusammen den festlichen Reih'n, !"

Beethoven's 250Th Birthday
Program Notes for Masterworks 5: Beethoven’s 250th Birthday Saturday, January 18, 2020 & Sunday, January 19, 2020 MARK RUSSELL SMITH, CONDUCTOR • AUGUSTIN HADELICH, VIOLIN • Beethoven – Overture to “Egmont,” Op. 84 • Beethoven – Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 61 • Beethoven – Symphony No. 7 in A major, Op. 92 Ludwig van Beethoven Overture to “Egmont,” Op. 84 Composer: born December 16, 1770, Bonn; died March 26, 1827, Vienna. Work composed: 1809-1810. World premiere: Beethoven conducted the first performance of the Egmont Overture on June 15, 1810, as an introduction to Goethe’s play, Egmont, at Vienna’s Hoftheater. Instrumentation: piccolo, 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 2 trumpets, timpani, and strings. Estimated duration: 8 minutes. When Vienna’s Court Theatre approached Ludwig van Beethoven with a commission to write music for a revival of Wolfgang von Goethe’s tragic play Egmont, Beethoven responded eagerly. Beethoven revered Goethe, calling him “the foremost German poet,” and Beethoven was also drawn to the subject matter of the play, which revolves around the actions of the Flemish Count Egmont, a historical 16th century figure. Egmont fought to save his country from military conquest by the Spanish Duke of Alba, and was later executed for his actions, but Egmont’s heroism and his self- sacrifice inspired his beleaguered countrymen to continue their fight for freedom. Beethoven, also of Flemish descent, may have seen something of himself in the noble Egmont. The themes of struggle against an oppressor, sacrifice, and abiding love resonated deeply with Beethoven; he later incorporated them into his opera Fidelio. -
Faust Part 1 by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe</H1>
Faust Part 1 by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe Faust Part 1 by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe Prepared by David Reed [email protected] or [email protected] Faust Part 1 by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe INTRODUCTORY NOTE JOHANN WOLFGANG VON GOETHE, the greatest of German men of letters, was born at Frank fort-on-the-Main, August 28, 1749. His father was a man of means and position, and he personally supervised the early education of his son. The young Goethe studied at the universities of Leipsic and Strasburg, and in 1772 entered upon the practise of law at Wetzlar. At the invitation of Karl August, Duke of Saxe-Weimar, he went in 1775 to live in Weimar, where he held a succession of political offices, becoming the Duke's chief adviser. From 1786 to 1788 he traveled in Italy, and from 179' to 1817 directed the ducal theater at Weimar. He took part in the wars against France, 1792-3, and in the following year began his friendship with Schiller, which lasted till the latter's page 1 / 334 death in 1805. In 1806 he married Christiane Vulpius. From about 1794 he devoted himself chiefly to literature, and after a life of extraordinary productiveness died at Weimar, March 22, 1832. The most important of Goethe's works produced before he went to Weimar were his tragedy "Gotz von Berlichingen" (1773), which first brought him fame, and "The Sorrows of Young Werther," a novel which obtained enormous popularity during the so-called "Sturm und Drang" period. During the years at Weimar before he knew Schiller he began "Wilhelm Meister," wrote the dramas, "Iphigenie," "Egmont," and "Torquato Tasso," and his "Reinecke Fuchs." To the period of his friendship with Schiller belong the continuation of "Wilhelm Meister," the beautiful idyl of "Hermann and Dorothea," and the "Roman Elegies." In the last period, between Schiller's death in 1805 and his own, appeared "Faust," "Elective Affinities," his autobiographical "Dichtung und Wahrheit" ("Poetry and Truth"), his "Italian Journey," much scientific work, and a series of treatises on German Art. -
Angelika Kauffmann Reads Goethe

Vol. 5 (Leipzig: Göschen, 1788), frontispiece and title page with vignette. An important and neglected issue in the context of book illustrations is the use of engraved 1 The Sophie Journal, vol. 2, iss. 1 images on title pages and as frontispieces. As investigated in detail in the recent volume on book illustration in the eighteenth century edited by Christina Ionescu, they literally form a “visual periphery of the text.”1 With the expansion of literacy and the book market as well as improved printing techniques, these images were immensely popular in the eighteenth century. Questions that arise in reference to these images include: Can they be regarded as illustrations in the sense of establishing a relation to specific texts? Which ones were merely more or less randomly chosen images that added to the aesthetic appeal of a book? When does decor verge on parody? What characteristics made them likely to take on a life of their own? This article discusses three illustrations of works by Johann Wolfgang Goethe by the pre- eminent eighteenth-century artist Angelica Kauffmann (1741–1807) before 1790. Two of them were published as frontispieces in the first edition of Goethe’s collected writings, the Göschen edition: 1. A scene from Goethe’s play Iphigenie auf Tauris (Iphigenia in Tauris), a drawing which Kauffmann gave to the author as a present. Today it is highly popular on the internet2 and in editions of the play, in popular and scholarly publications alike. -
