  • Samuel Jr. En Daniël De Lange: in Twee Verschillende Richtingen
    Samuel jr. en Daniël de Lange: In twee verschillende richtingen © Aart van der Wal, januari 2008 De beide broers werden kort na elkaar geboren: Samuel op 22 februari 1840 en Daniël op 11 juli 1941. Ze groeiden op in het centrum van Rotterdam, rond de Goudsesingel en omgeving. Al vroeg speelde muziek daarin een belangrijke rol. Vader Samuel (1811-1884) was een vooraanstaand musicus en als organist verbonden aan de nabijgelegen Laurenskerk. Geen wonder dus dat hij de eerste was die zijn beide zoons de beginselen van de muziektheorie bijbracht en ze zowel piano- als orgelles gaf. Een zeer druk bezet man, want hij bouwde ook nog orgels, was beiaardier en handelde bovendien nog in piano's. Tussen al die bedrijven door organiseerde vader Samuel nog muzieksoirees bij hem thuis, wat zijn kinderen rechtstreeks in aanraking bracht met zowel het kamermuziekrepertoire als vele musici. Het moet een inspirerende omgeving zijn geweest! Het valt niet zo gemakkelijk voor te stellen dat in die tijd de muziekbeleving thuis uitsluitend neerkwam op zélf doen, zélf spelen (de grammofoonplaat was nog in geen velden of wegen te bekennen en zou pas in het begin van de twintigste eeuw in Europa zijn intrede doen). Voor het beluisteren van muziek was men dus aangewezen op soirees thuis of elders, dan wel een bezoek aan concertzaal of operavoorstelling. Daniël ging in 1851 naar de Rotterdamse muziekschool, waar hij les kreeg van Simon Ganz (cello) en Johannes Verhulst (theorie). Zo'n drie jaar later ging hij naar het conservatorium in Brussel om zich verder in het cellospel te bekwamen bij Adrien François Servais, de ‘Paganini van de cello'.

  • Schumann's Myrthen
    Schumann’s Myrthen: an unknown manuscript source Text: Karijn Dillmann. All translations: Lodewijk Muns Among the manuscripts in the collections of the Nederlands Muziek Instituut are several handwritten documents by Robert and Clara Schumann. One of them contains six songs from the Myrthen cycle op. 25 (1840) by Robert Schumann (1810-1856). It is part of a manuscript which has served as engraver’s copy for the first edition, published in August 1840 by Friedrich Kistner in Leipzig. This manuscript has at some time been split up; its parts are now in Paris, Zwickau, an unknown private collection, and in the NMI in The Hague. The pages in the NMI have long been thought lost. A comparison with the other portions has now proved it to be the missing source. The investigation has also proved that two songs in this manuscript are autographic (in Schumann’s own handwriting), and four in the handwriting of Carl Brückner, a copyist employed by Schumann. The four songs in Brückner’s handwriting contain corrections and additions in Schumann’s own hand, and are therefore of musicological interest too. Schumann wrote the 26 songs in the Myrthen cycle as a bridal gift for his beloved Clara Wieck. The myrtle is a symbol of marital happiness and fertility, and the flowers are traditionally used in bridal bouquets. Robert and Clara married on 12 September 1840. This web exhibition contains a digital reproduction of the manuscript and an introduction to its history and the genesis of the composition.
