New York Represented in Philadelphia by JAMES BELLAK'S SONS 1 1 29 Chestnut Street Symphonia Domestica, Op. 53 Richard Strauss (Born at Munich, June 11, 1864; now living at Berlin.) When Richard Strauss was sojourning in London late in 1902, he ' said to a reporter of the Musical Times of that city : ' My next tone- poem will illustrate 'a day in my family life.' It will be partly lyrical, partly humorous,—a triple fugue, the three subjects representing papa, mamma, and the baby." * The symphony was composed in 1903. On the last page of the score is this note: "Charlottenburg, December 31, 1903." The score was published in 1904. It is said that Strauss received from the publisher a sum equivalent to nine thousand dollars for it. It was performed for the first time at the third concert of the Richard Strauss Festival in Carnegie Hall, New York, March 21, 1904, and the composer was the conductor. The concert began with a per- formance of Strauss' s "Don Juan," and closed with a performance of his "Also sprach Zarathustra." It may here be said that Strauss s Symphony in F minor, Op. 12, was also performed for the first time in New York by the Philharmonic Society of that city and from manu- script on December 13, 1884, when Mr. Theodore Thomas conducted. The first performance of the Symphonia Domestica in Europe was at the Fortieth Festival of the Allgemeiner Deutscher Musikverein at Frankfort-on-the-Main, June 1, 1904. The composer conducted. The first performance in Belgium was at a Concert Populaire, Novem- ber 13, 1904, when S. Dupuis conducted. The first performance in England was on February 25, 1905, at the Queen's Hall, London. Mr. Henry J. Wood was the conductor. The first performance in France was at a Colonne concert, Paris, March 25, 1906, when the composer conducted. * See the Musical Times, January i, 1903, p. 14.

That is to say, two eminent musicians come to our store. They sit down and play those pianos, not one in each lot or style, but every instrument, individually, test its action, its tone,. its touch, and judge therefrom its real value in money. The result of each examination is written on a certificate form, signed by the juror, and sealed to the back of the instru- ment. This system is for the benefit of purchasers,— for the pro- tection of the piano buyer who is likely to be confused by the statements of salesmen with little regard for the truth.

HEPPE & SON (THREE STORES) 1115-1117 Chestnut, 6th, and Thompson PHILADELPHIA, PA. 8 The dedication of the symphony reads: "Meiner lieben Frau und unserm Jungen" (' 'To my dear wife and our boy "). The symphony is scored for one piccolo, three flutes, two oboes, one oboe d' amore,* one English horn, one clarinet in D, one clarinet in A, two clarinets in B-flat, one bass clarinet, four bassoons, one double-bassoon, eight horns, four trumpets, three trombones, one bass tuba, four saxophones ad lib., four kettledrums, bass drum, cym- bals, triangle, tambourine, glockenspiel, sixteen first violins, sixteen second violins, twelve violas, ten violoncellos, eight double-basses, two harps. * * When Dr. Strauss was in New York, he wished that no programme of this symphony should be set forth in advance of the performance. As Mr. Richard Aldrich wrote, in the New York Times of March 6, 1904: "He wishes it to be taken as music, for what it is, and not as the elaboration of the specific details of a scheme of things. The symphony, he declares, is sufficiently explained by its title, and is to be listened to as the symphonic development of its themes. It is of interest to quote the title, as he wishes it to stand. It is 'Symphonia Domestica' (meiner lieben Frau und unserm Jungen gewidmet), Op. 53, which is, interpreted, ' Domestic .Symphony, dedicated to my dear Wife and our Boy, Op. 53.' It bears the descriptive subtitle, 'In einem Satze und drei Unterabteilungen : (a) Einleitung und Scherzo; (6) Adagio; (c) Doppelfuge und Finale.' (In one movement and three subdivisions: (a) Introduction and Scherzo; (6) Adagio; (c) Double Fugue and Finale.) It is highly significant that the composer desires these movements to be listened to as the three movements The haulbois d'amour, oboe d' amore, was invented about 1720. It was an oboe a minor third lower in pitch than the ordinary oboe. "The tone was softer and somewhat more veiled than that of the usual instru- ment, being intermediate in quality, as well as in pitch, between the oboe and the English horn." This instru- ment fell out of use after Bach's death, but it has been reconstructed by the house of C. Mahillon, of Brussels.

  • Resituating Transatlantic Opera: the Case of the Théâtre D'orléans, New
    Resituating Transatlantic Opera: The Case of the Théâtre d’Orléans, New Orleans, 1819–1859 Charlotte Alice Bentley Emmanuel College October 2017 This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy ABSTRACT This thesis examines the production and reception of French opera in New Orleans in the first half of the nineteenth century, through a focus on the city’s principal French-language theatre from 1819 to 1859, the Théâtre d’Orléans. Building on the small body of existing scholarship concerning the theatre’s history and repertoire, here I draw upon a greatly expanded range of sources—including court cases, sheet music, and novels—in order to understand more about the ways in which operatic culture shaped and was shaped by city life in this period. New Orleans’s operatic life relied on transatlantic networks of people and materials in order to thrive, and this thesis explores the city’s place within growing global operatic systems in the nineteenth century. The five chapters each reflect on different aspects of operatic translocation and its significance for New Orleans. The first two argue for the centrality of human agency to the development of transatlantic networks of production and performance by examining the management of the theatre and the international movement of singers in turn. Chapter 3 investigates the impact of French grand opéra on New Orleans, arguing that the genre provided a focus for the negotiation of local, national, and international identities among opposing critical (and linguistic) factions within the city, while also providing an impetus for the development of a material culture of opera.

A consideration of over 1500 opera reviews from close to thirty periodicals, however, paints a more complex picture. In addition to a fascination with the supernatural, composers were drawn to a variety of libretti, including Biblical and Classical topics, and considered the application of recitative and other conventions most historians have overlooked because of their un-German heritage. Despite the variety of approaches and conceptions of what a German opera might look like, writers from Vienna to Kassel shared a common aspiration to develop a true German opera. The new language of concert criticism found from specialized music journals like the Allgemeine musikalische Zeitung to the entertainment inserts of feuilletons like the Zeitung für die elegante Welt made the operatic endeavor of the early nineteenth century a national one rather than a regional one as it was in the eighteenth century. ii Copyright 2010, Kevin Robert Burke iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First, I would like to offer gratitude to all my colleagues, friends, and family who supported me with encouraging words, a listening ear, and moments of celebration at the end of each stage.

  • Komponieren Zwischen Theater Und Konzert: Der ›Mannheimer‹ Franz Beck in Bordeaux
    Thomas Betzwieser (Frankfurt am Main) Komponieren zwischen Theater und Konzert: der ›Mannheimer‹ Franz Beck in Bordeaux Der 1734 in Mannheim geborene Franz Ignaz Beck gehört immer noch zu den ›großen Un- bekannten‹ aus dem Umkreis der ›Mannheimer Schule‹. Dies hat verschiedene Gründe: Zum einen ist da die grundsätzliche Frage der Zugehörigkeit zu dieser Schule, zum anderen eine nicht unproblematische Quellensituation, die sowohl die Biographie als auch das Werk tangiert. Die biographische Überlieferung stützt sich vor allem auf die Darstellung seines Schülers und späteren Musikkritikers Henri Blanchard, der 1845 in der Revue et Gazette musicale de Paris eine biographische Skizze 1 veröffentlicht hat, die ein sehr buntes Bild des Musikers Beck zeichnete: eines Komponisten, der einen Teil seiner Werke zerstört hat und dessen Frau nicht minder rigoros mit dem musikalischen Nachlass verfuhr, aus Angst, dem Œuvre könnten allzu deutliche revolutionäre ›Umtriebe‹ entnommen werden. Da ist ein junger Musiker, der 15-jährig fluchtartig seine Heimatstadt verlassen musste nach einem für seinen Widersacher mutmaßlich tödlich endenden Duell; der sich danach nach Venedig wandte, wo er drei Jahre bei Baldassare Galuppi studierte, die Lagunenstadt wiederum Hals über Kopf verlassen musste, weil er ein ›junges Mädchen‹ entführt hatte, das er aber später ehelichte. Die Darstellungen von Becks Biographie sind durchzogen von einem Leitmotiv, nämlich dass er Schüler von Johann Stamitz gewesen sei, was ihn gewissermaßen als der ›Mannheimer Schule‹ zugehörig erscheinen lässt. In dem Artikel von Bärbel Pelker 2 in der neuen MGG liest sich dies indes weitaus weniger gesichert: Nach dem Tod des Vaters »wurde der Musikunter- richt vermutlich von einem Hofmusiker fortgesetzt, vielleicht sogar von Joh.

  • Collaboration Perspectives for Folk Song Research and Music Information Retrieval: the Indispensable Role of Computational Musicology
    journal of interdisciplinary music studies spring 2010, volume 4, issue 1, art. #10040102, pp. 17-43 Collaboration Perspectives for Folk Song Research and Music Information Retrieval: The Indispensable Role of Computational Musicology Peter van Kranenburg1, Jörg Garbers1, Anja Volk1, Frans Wiering1, Louis P. Grijp2, and Remco C. Veltkamp1 1 Utrecht University 2 Meertens Institute, Amsterdam Background in Folk Song Research (FSR). In the past century melodic variation caused by oral transmission has been studied within the discipline of Folk Song Research (FSR). Also, various systems have been developed to categorize large collections of folk songs. Since the 1940s many attempts have been made to design automatic systems to categorize melodies. However, after several decades, no strong theories of oral transmission, and no generally applicable classification systems have yet emerged. Currently, many cultural heritage institutions give high priority to the digitization and unlocking of their (musical) collections. Background in Music Information Retrieval (MIR) and Computational Musicology (CM). In the field of Music Information Retrieval (MIR) methods are designed to provide access to large bodies of music, while in the field of Computational Musicology (CM) computational methods are designed to study musicological questions. These developments stimulate a new interest in the questions of FSR. However, very few CM and MIR studies take the particularities of orally transmitted melodies into account. Aims. Better collaboration between MIR, CM and FSR (or Musicology in general) will enrich Musicology with new methods to study existing problems and MIR with better understanding of music. Main contribution. By surveying relevant achievements of the disciplines, we show a gap between MIR and FSR.

Robert Cohen, Musicology Henri -Louis Blanchard (1791-1858) was the most prolific critic for the Revue et Gazette Musicale de Paris , the most significant French music periodical of the nineteenth century. His writings covered a wide variety of subjects including opera, chamber music, piano virtuosi, music education, vocal music, as well as biographical notices on many musical figures. Viewed by his contemporaries as an important and influential critic, his extensive output in this journal indicates that his writings represent a great deal of what the Parisian public was reading about music at this time. This study examines Blanchard’s writings on the music of Ludwig van Beethoven. Blanchard wrote on Beethoven throughout his career, thus allowing us to observe the evolution of Blanchard’s ae sthetic.
