Ist es seit jeher gute Sitte, die Fachvorträge der arrivierten Literaturwissenschaftler im jeweiligen Jahrbuch zu dokumentieren, so ergibt sich im Folgejahr die erwünschte Gelegenheit, bevorzugt den philologischen Nachwuchs zu Wort kommen zu lassen und seine in Weimar vorgestellten Erkenntnisse dem Publikum weltweit zugänglich zu machen. Es ist uns deshalb eine Freude, dass auch das Goethe-Jahrbuch 2012 mit vier Beiträgen zum so lebendigen wie fruchtbaren Symposium von 2011 er- öffnet werden kann, dessen Leitung erneut in den bewährten Händen von Dr. Matthias Buschmeier (Universität Bielefeld) und Dr. Marie Wokalek (Freie Uni- versität Berlin) lag.

  • THE POETIC MUSE: GOETHE, SCHUBERT and the ART of SONG Lorraine Byrne Bodley Anyone Who Ventures Into the Vast Regions of The
    THE POETIC MUSE: GOETHE, SCHUBERT AND THE ART OF SONG Lorraine Byrne Bodley Anyone who ventures into the vast regions of the 19th-century Lied meets a powerful presence almost immediately. Time and again the text is by Goethe, whose lyric imagination left an indomitable imprint on European music history. Even a cursory glance at Friedlaender’s Das deutsche Lied bears testimony to multiple settings of Goethe’s poems and the range and variety of this abundant repertoire is immediately striking. Ernst Challier’s Grosser Lieder-Katalog gives further evidence of the musicality of Goethe’s language and its location of meaning at the cradle of the Lied. Schubert’s first masterpiece, ‘Gretchen am Spinnrade’, was a setting of a dramatic scene from Goethe’s Faust. The earliest songs of Reichardt, Spohr, Loewe, Brahms and Wagner were to texts by Goethe, which raises the question as to the reasons for the poet’s influence. Yes, Goethe was a supreme lyric poet. The binding force of form and meaning, or rhythm and sense, that characterizes Goethe’s lyric poetry offered composers a wealth of material with which to cut their compositional cloth. Yes, Goethe was an object of admiration, even veneration, throughout the 19th century and the sheer quantity and variety of music his poetry has inspired signals the huge fascination exerted by his writing and his personality. Yet the steadfastness of his occupancy of the Lied goes beyond these explanations. Deeper currents must explain why Goethe’s poetry goes hand in glove in our musical heritage. From the time he burst onto the literary scene with the publication of Die Leiden des jungen Werther in 1774 until long after his death in 1832, Goethe was a catalyst for many composers who wanted to challenge what song could be.

Winter, Chair Transactions between musical androids and actual virtuosos occupied a prominent place in the music of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Instrumentalists and composers of instrumental music appropriated the craze for clockwork soloists, placing music in a position of increased social power in a society undergoing rapid technological transformation. The history of musical automata stretches back to antiquity. Androids and automata, vested by audiences with spiritual and magical qualities, populated the churches of the broader populations and the Renaissance grottos of the aristocracy. As ii the Industrial Revolution began, automata increasingly resembled the machines changing the structure of labor; consequently, androids lost their enchanted status. Contemporary writers problematized these humanoid machines while at the same time popularizing their role as representatives of the uncanny at the boundaries of human identity. Both instrumental performers and androids explored the liminal area between human and machine. As androids lost their magic, musical virtuosos assumed the qualities of spectacle and spirituality long embodied by their machine counterparts. In this process virtuosi explored the liminal space of human machines: a human playing a musical instrument (a machine) weds the body to a machine, creating a half-human, half-fabricated voice.

  • Franz Schubert Written and Narrated by Jeremy Siepmann with Tom George As Schubert
    LIFE AND WORKS Franz Schubert Written and narrated by Jeremy Siepmann with Tom George as Schubert 8.558135–38 Life and Works: Franz Schubert Preface If music is ‘about’ anything, it’s about life. No other medium can so quickly or more comprehensively lay bare the very soul of those who make or compose it. Biographies confined to the limitations of text are therefore at a serious disadvantage when it comes to the lives of composers. Only by combining verbal language with the music itself can one hope to achieve a fully rounded portrait. In the present series, the words of composers and their contemporaries are brought to life by distinguished actors in a narrative liberally spiced with musical illustrations. Unlike the standard audio portrait, the music is not used here simply for purposes of illustration within a basically narrative context. Thus we often hear very substantial chunks, and in several cases whole movements, which may be felt by some to ‘interrupt’ the story; but as its title implies the series is not just about the lives of the great composers, it is also an exploration of their works. Dismemberment of these for ‘theatrical’ effect would thus be almost sacrilegious! Likewise, the booklet is more than a complementary appendage and may be read independently, with no loss of interest or connection.

Get Faust. Reed puts it in his biography Goethe of Goethe and Schiller and is considered the culmination of German literature. Hopkins, G. The close of the 18th century in Germany was a time very much like the Renaissance. Refresh and try again. Homunculus, Mephistopheles, and Faust went to Greece, where Mephistopheles borrowed from the fantastic images of classical mythology one of their grotesque forms. External Websites. If there be spirits in the air That hold their sway between the earth and sky, Descend out of the golden vapors there And sweep me into iridescent life. After a painful struggle with himself, Faustus is carried off by the devil at the end of the play. In what ways does Goethe's depiction of Heaven seem unorthodox? Relevant discussion may be found on the talk page. He drew on an immense variety of cultural material—theological, mythological, philosophical, political, economic, scientific, aesthetic , musical, literary—for the more realistic Part I no less than for the more symbolic Part II.

  • Functions of Metrical Dissonance in Schubert's Songs
    Functions of Metrical Dissonance in Schubert’s Songs Harald Krebs ABSTRACT Schubert employs both grouping and displacement dis- sonance very effectively in his Lieder, with definite ends in view. Much of his metrical dissonance could be termed pictorial or onomatopoeic; metrical conflicts in his piano parts often conjure up particular sounds or actions that are mentioned in the text. Many of the metrical dissonances in Schubert’s songs represent not physical objects or activity, but internal, spiritual phenomena – particularly inner upheavals and tensions. Metrical dissonances in Schubert’s songs may also have purely structural instead of, or in addition to repre- sentational functions. In Winterreise, for instance, the disso- nances, beyond their various text-related connotations, also assume a motivic function: particular specific displacement dissonances recur frequently. In Schubert’s tonally deviating songs—songs that begin in one key and end in another— metrical dissonance may act as a highlighter of significant moments within the tonal drama. The analyses provided here reveal that Schubert is a pioneer of the powerful appli- cation of metrical dissonance in the Lied, and that his skill at subtly manipulating this device for text-expressive and struc- tural purposes was no less remarkable than that reflected in his manipulation of harmony and tonality. 1 2 Harald Krebs We can conceive of musical meter as a set of layers of regular pulses, those pulses being created by various types of accents, by repetitions of patterns, by changes of harmony, and other musical features. Each notated meter is defined by a particular set of lay- ers—six-eight time, for instance, by aligned six- and three-eighth- note layers.

  • Goethe's Faust in Music
    Music in Goethe’s Faust: INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE Goethe’s Faust in Music CALL FOR PAPERS 20-22 April 2012 Music Department and School of Modern Languages, Literatures and Culture NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF IRELAND MAYNOOTH Music in Goethe’s Faust: Goethe’s Faust in Music Keynote Speakers Professor Nicholas Boyle (Schroeder Professor of German, Magdalene College Cambridge) Professor Thomas Bauman (Professor of Musicology, Northwestern University, USA) Professor Osman Durrani (Professor of German, University of Kent) The name ‘Faust’ and the adjective ‘faustian’ are as emblematic of the supra-intellectual as they are of the tragic. Such concepts haunt German cultural life and have prompted countless discussions in philosophy, literature, the visual arts and music, especially in the second half of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Through this a broad trajectory can be traced from Zelter’s colourful record of the first setting of Goethe’s Faust - composed by prince and rehearsed by a royal cast in Berlin in 1816 - to Alfred Schnittke’s Faust opera of 1993. Between these two realizations, a floodtide of musical interpretations of Goethe’s Faust came into existence; these explore the theme of love, so central to opera, and the concomitant themes of redemption for both Gretchen and Faust. A theatrical work with the artistic virtuosity and moral gravity of Goethe’s Faust need not be musically inclusive, yet Goethe sought out many burgeoning musicians - Heinrich Schmieder, Carl Friedrich Zelter, Carl Eberwein and Prince Anton Heinrich Radziwill – as possible composers of Faust. While Goethe longed to have Faust set to music and considered only Mozart and perhaps Meyerbeer as being equal to the task, by the end of his life he had abandoned hope that he would live to witness a musical setting of his text.

    WHAT AMERICANS SAID ABOUT SAXONY, AND WHAT THIS SAYS ABOUT THEM: INTERPRETING TRAVEL WRITINGS OF THE TICKNORS AND OTHER PRIVILEGED AMERICANS 1800-1850 by ASHLEY SIDES Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Arlington in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS IN HISTORY THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT ARLINGTON May 2008 Copyright © by Ashley Sides 2008 All Rights Reserved ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS To God I am thankful for the fascinating complexity of humanity, which makes the study of history so challenging and interesting, and for the opportunity and ability to pursue studies of this history. I am also deeply grateful for the support of my wife, Jamie, through this process. From the very beginning she has made my goals hers, has encouraged me, and has patiently sacrificed to help me get through this Master’s program. I dedicate this work to her. I have been blessed to study under excellent professors at the University of Texas at Arlington. Some, in particular, stand out. Professor Thomas Adam has been the most important influence in my graduate studies. He introduced me to the Ticknors and their journals in the first place, and has mentored me through a graduate research assistantship and this thesis. I am indebted to him for the topic of this thesis, which he suggested and I ultimately found quite fascinating. Professors Steven Reinhardt and Joyce Goldberg have helped me to improve my writing by their strict emphasis on good use of language. I also greatly enjoyed working for Professor Goldberg as a graduate teaching assistant, in the process learning a lot about the art of teaching college students.

Herder, and Ranke: The Reformation's Impact on German Idealist Historiography. Doctor of Philosophy (History), August, 1983, 191 pp., bibliography, 74 titles. The influence of Martin Luther on the Idealist philos- ophy and historical writing of Johann Gottfried Herder and Leopold Ranke Is part of a broader inquiry into the signif- icant impact of the Protestant Reformation on the modern Western world. Herder and Ranke, whose work In historical research and writing spanned a period from the later eigh- teenth century to the close of the nineteenth century, represented an Idealist generation which sought a new meaning in human history to replace the view of the Enlightenment. Coming from Lutheran backgrounds and Identifying closely with Luther, Herder and Ranke moved away from traditional theological dogma and toward the dynamic of human history. They adapted the major outlines of Luther's theology to his- tory. Luther's dualism of the temporal and spiritual king- doms became the real and ideal realms of history, which re- flect the hand of God In human affairs. Luther's view of the organic character of human circumstances became the dynamic of history which moves behind the appearance of historical events. Luther's view of faith provided a way of perceiving the spiritual reality of history which reason alone could not discover.

Link to published https://doi.org/10.1177/0968344518804840 version Full metadata for this item is available in St Andrews Research Repository at: https://research-repository.st-andrews.ac.uk/ Introduction Carl von Clausewitz is widely regarded as an acute observer and contemporary witness of the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. Yet his own experience of French captivity in 1806-1807 – well documented in his letters to his fiancée Marie von Brühl – has not been studied in depth. It gives fascinating insights not only into Clausewitz’ own evaluation of his time in captivity, but also in the inner workings of the broader transformation of war during that period. Peter Paret states in his seminal intellectual biography of Clausewitz that his time in captivity had a great impact on his career and his life. Yet, he only devotes six print pages of his biography to that phase of Clausewitz’s life.1 What stands out for Paret is ‘the hurt to his [Clausewitz’s] patriotism’ induced by the experience of defeat and captivity and his ensuing identification with the Prussian state.2 In contrast to Paret, Donald Stoker in his Clausewitz biography recognises that the reference point of Clausewitz patriotism during his time in captivity was not necessarily the Prussian state, but the German nation.3 Yet Stoker devotes hardly any more pages than Paret to exploring the tension between these two reference points.
