His father owned sugar refineries in Berlin and Gorizia. His grandfather was a respected elder of the Jewish community, and a wealthy banker to boot. His home was a meeting place of the cultural and musical elite. It was hardly surprising, in such stimulating surroundings, that the young Meyerbeer should aspire to become as famed as the scientists, writers and musicians who dandled him on their knees. The chosen stage for his prodigious talents was to be the piano, which, by the age of four, he could play by ear. The music teacher of the Prussian Royal Family gave him his first official piano lessons. At eleven, he made his first concert appearance, and he was soon hailed as one of the foremost pianists in Berlin, so technically proficient that the great Clementi himself came out of retirement to teach him. He studied composition with Weber’s brother. None less than the revered Abbé Vogler taught the young man theory at Darmstadt, where he struck up a close friendship with a fellow student, Carl Maria von Weber. By the time he was 18 his first theatrical composition, a divertissement, Der Fischer und das Milkmädchen was given at Berlin’s Royal Theatre on 10 March 1810. In the following 12 months works flowed from his pen: hymns, psalms, religious works, and a grand oratorio, Gott und die Natur, for the Berlin Singakademie (May, 1811). Meyerbeer had attained such great heights by the time he was 20 that it seemed like tempting fate to hope that his success could continue unbroken. –10– And indeed, his first opera, Jephta’s Gelübde (Munich, 1812), was coldly received. ‘More science than melody… an oratorio more than an opera.’ Turning to comic opera, he fared no better with Wirth und Gast at Stuttgart in January 1813. German opera, it was obvious, was not to be the young composer’s metier and, accordingly, he moved to Vienna where, obstinately, he presented a revised version of Wirth und Gast as Alimelek or Die Beiden Kalifen (October 1814). Its new titles helped not a bit. Once again it failed. One of the composer’s earliest biographers, Herman Mendel (Giacomo Meyerbeer, Berlin, 1868) describes the 23-year-old in these days in Vienna as uncertain, tormented by doubt over his abilities, and close to giving up all idea of a musical career. Generously, the veteran composer Salieri gave him consolation and comfort, and suggested that perhaps the young man would benefit from a visit to Italy, where he could better study the art of writing for the voice. Despite this advice, Meyerbeer first travelled to Munich and then to Paris, then considered the musical centre of Europe, on a visit that he later regarded as a most important stage of his musical-dramatic development. As a virtuoso of the piano, he was lionised in the salons of the French capital; Ignaz Moscheles found his playing ‘unsurpassed’. He stayed long enough to compose in 1815 a French opera, Le Bachelier de Salamanque; but its hoped-for production at the Théâtre Feydeau was not to be realised. He travelled to –11– London to hear JB Cramer play, and it was not until early in 1816 that he finally arrived in Italy. This was to be the turning point of his career. In Venice, Jakob – now Giacomo – Meyerbeer heard for the first time Rossini’s Tancredi and was, as the Harmonicon expressed it, ‘transported’. Forty years later he still talked of the lasting influence both Italy and Rossini had on him. Writing in 1856 to the German biographer Dr Jean F Schucht, he recalled: At that time, all Italy was feasting in sweet ecstasy. The whole country had finally found, it seems, a long hoped-for Paradise. All that was needed to complete their happiness was the music of Rossini. In spite of myself, I – like all the rest – was caught up in this gossamer web of sound.

  • L'autorité, 5 Octobre 1895, Pp
    REVUE DE PARIS, 4 décembre 1831, pp. 14–27. Chaque fois qu’à l’horizon de la pensée on voit apparaître une grande conception, riche de tout ce qu’une époque a ajouté de développemens au fonds commun des traditions, et néanmoins portant en elle le germe d’une époque nouvelle, il se fait une secousse, un ébranlement qui se communique à toute la sphère de l’art. Les esprits qui vivent dans cette sphère ressentent tous cette impulsion; mais les uns, d’abord en petit nombre, pressés par un vague instinct de progrès, se prêtent avec enthousiasme à ce mouvement; les autres, et ceux-ci forment la majorité, à qui rien n’est plus cher que le repos, s’efforcent de paralyser cette impulsion, craignant d’être troublés dans la jouissance de leur statu quo. L’art se partage alors en deux camps, et cette lutte de positif et de négatif, d’action et de résistance, se prolonge jusqu’à ce que le génie imprime à ces oscillations un mouvement régulier, et attire à lui tout l’ensemble des intelligences par sa seule force d’attraction. Cela a lieu dans les sciences, dans la littérature et dans les arts. Le dernier ouvrage de M. Meyerbeer vient d’opérer une crise semblable dans le domaine de la musique. Je ne m’attacherai pas ici à énumérer une à une les beautés de détail qu’il renferme. Je m’occuperai principalement de la question d’art que Robert-le-Diable vient de soulever. Mais comme il ne suffit pas d’une seule composition, quelque grande qu’elle soit, pour pouvoir se rendre // 15 // compte de la portée d’un homme; comme on ne peut apprécier la part qui lui appartient dans la régénération, si l’on n’étudie sa pensée dans tout le cours de sa vie d’artiste, si l’on n’interroge son talent à chacune de ses périodes, et dans ses transformations diverses, nous jetterons un coup d’œil rapide sur la carrière musicale de M.

    Reading at the Opera: Music and Literary Culture in Early Nineteenth-Century Italy By Edward Lee Jacobson A dissertation submitted in partial satisfacation of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Music in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Mary Ann Smart, Chair Professor James Q. Davies Professor Ian Duncan Professor Nicholas Mathew Summer 2020 Abstract Reading at the Opera: Music and Literary Culture in Early Nineteenth-Century Italy by Edward Lee Jacobson Doctor of Philosophy in Music University of California, Berkeley Professor Mary Ann Smart, Chair This dissertation emerged out of an archival study of Italian opera libretti published between 1800 and 1835. Many of these libretti, in contrast to their eighteenth- century counterparts, contain lengthy historical introductions, extended scenic descriptions, anthropological footnotes, and even bibliographies, all of which suggest that many operas depended on the absorption of a printed text to inflect or supplement the spectacle onstage. This dissertation thus explores how literature— and, specifically, the act of reading—shaped the composition and early reception of works by Gioachino Rossini, Vincenzo Bellini, Gaetano Donizetti, and their contemporaries. Rather than offering a straightforward comparative study between literary and musical texts, the various chapters track the often elusive ways that literature and music commingle in the consumption of opera by exploring a series of modes through which Italians engaged with their national past. In doing so, the dissertation follows recent, anthropologically inspired studies that have focused on spectatorship, embodiment, and attention. But while these chapters attempt to reconstruct the perceptive filters that educated classes would have brought to the opera, they also reject the historicist fantasy that spectator experience can ever be recovered, arguing instead that great rewards can be found in a sympathetic hearing of music as it appears to us today.

  • LE MIE MEMORIE ARTISTICHE Giovanni Pacini
    LE MIE MEMORIE ARTISTICHE Giovanni Pacini English translation: Adriaan van der Tang, October 2011 1 2 GIOVANNI PACINI: LE MIE MEMORIE ARTISTICHE PREFACE Pacini’s autobiography Le mie memorie artistiche has been published in several editions. For the present translation the original text has been used, consisting of 148 pages and published in 1865 by G.G. Guidi. In 1872 E. Sinimberghi in Rome published Le mie memorie artistiche di Giovanni Pacini, continuate dall’avvocato Filippo Cicconetti. The edition usually referred to was published in 1875 by Le Monnier in Florence under the title Le mie memorie artistiche: edite ed inedite, edited by Ferdinando Magnani. The first 127 pages contain the complete text of the original edition of 1865 – albeit with a different page numbering – extended with the section ‘inedite’ of 96 pages, containing notes Pacini made after publication of the 1865-edition, beginning with three ‘omissioni’. This 1875- edition covers the years as from 1864 and describes Pacini’s involvement with performances of some of his operas in several minor Italian theatres. His intensive supervision at the first performances in 1867 of Don Diego di Mendoza and Berta di Varnol was described as well, as were the executions of several of his cantatas, among which the cantata Pacini wrote for the unveiling of the Rossini- monument in Pesaro, his oratorios, masses and instrumental works. Furthermore he wrote about the countless initiatives he developed, such as the repatriation of Bellini’s remains to Catania and the erection of a monument in Arezzo in honour of the great poet Guido Monaco, much adored by him.
