A man who is so nice about detail might be expected to be averse to big cli- max and to be fain to prohibit extraordi- nary loudness in the playing, inasmuch as the usual outcome of a fortissimo is com- plete obliteration of individual voices, semichoirs, and even choirs. But the new National Symphony conductor at frequent moments in his concert, especially in the course of the performance of the Strauss tone-poem, called out the full power of the instruments. He did so, however, without damaging the melodic texture of the com- position in the slightest. A Mengelberg fortissimo, while loud and grandiloquent, is never noisy or boisterous. It is an enlarge- ment of the expression of the orchestra, not a din of players scraping, blowing, and pounding with might and main. Again, a conductor interested in small things might be expected to have a precise and mechanical beat. But again, no.

  • “Tragic” Mistake
    UNDOING A “TRAGIC” MISTAKE DETERMINING THE INNER-MOVEMENT ORDER OF MAHLER’S SIXTH SYMPHONY A critical examination of the evidence by Jerry Bruck New York City October 19th, 2002 A publication of THE KAPLAN FOUNDATION 450 Park Avenue New York City © Jerry Bruck, 2002 I. OVERVIEW Nearly a century has passed since Gustav Mahler composed his Sixth Symphony, yet confusion still persists among conductors, scholars and biographers regarding the order of its inner movements. Mahler began work on the symphony in 1903, first composing a Scherzo and an Andante as the central pair of its eventual four-movement structure, framing them with the remaining movements the following year. He then reversed this “S-A” order of inner movements before the symphony’s premiere in 1906, and thereafter never reverted to their previous arrangement. It was not until 1919, almost a decade after Mahler’s death, that the conductor Willem Mengelberg queried Mahler’s widow about the order of these inner movements. Her response: “First Scherzo, then Andante” prompted him to alter the “A-S” order of his conductor’s score, igniting a controversy that has spanned the decades since. With the publication in 1963 of the first Critical Edition of the Sixth by the Internationale Gustav Mahler Gesellschaft (IGMG), the matter seemed settled at last. In his introduction, IGMG founder-editor Erwin Ratz stated that the thematic similarities between the symphony’s opening movement and its Scherzo, commented upon during rehearsals for its premiere, had prompted Mahler to succumb to the advice of “outside influences” to transpose the Sixth’s inner movements.

    492 5 XII Religie en levensovertuiging De religieuze opvattingen van Julius Röntgen krijgen pas vanaf het midden van de jaren tien duidelijk profiel: eerst in 1915 in het conflict met zijn vriend en collega Geert von Brucken Fock, daarna in zijn werk voor en met dominee Jo Boeke in de jaren 1915-1925, vervolgens in zijn compositie van liederen voor de Nederlandsche Protestanten Bond en verwante vrijzinnig protestantse kringen in dezelfde jaren en ten slotte op zijn sterfbed. Nu was Röntgen in 1915 al zestig jaar oud. Van vóór dat jaar is weliswaar bekend in welke religieuze omgeving hij was opgegroeid, wat voor soort geloof hij van huis uit had meegekregen, wie zijn spirituele mentoren zijn geweest - in Leipzig en in Amsterdam - en wat hij mogelijk van hen had geleerd, maar wat hij zelf geloofde en welke levensovertuiging hij was toegedaan, blijft goeddeels in het duister gehuld. De religies van de Röntgens en de Klengels Engelbert Röntgen, Julius’ vader, die geboortig was van Deventer, was luthers gedoopt en had luthers belijdenis gedaan. Het ligt ook eigenlijk voor de hand met een vader - Johann Engelbert Röntgen - die zelf afkomstig was uit het Duitse Lennep en van huis uit evangelisch- luthers.1 In de jaren 1849-1856 kreeg de Deventer lutherse gemeente zijn glans met predikant Abraham Dirk Loman.2 Pas toen Engelbert Röntgen eind maart 1850 vanuit Leipzig naar Deventer terugkeerde, heeft hij Loman leren kennen. De twee raakten onmiddellijk met elkaar bevriend; het was ongetwijfeld de muziek die hen samenbracht. Loman kon prachtig zingen, componeerde en interesseerde zich - ook als wetenschapper - in alles wat met muziek te maken had.
