EVERETT PIANO CO., boston New York House, 111, 143 Fifth Avenue Symphony in A major, No. 4, " Italian," Op. 90. Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy. (Born at Hamburg, Feb. 3, 1809 ; died at Leipsic, Nov. 4, 1847.) Mendelssohn wrote from Rome in December, 1830 : "As for my work, l I am fully occupied. The Hebrides ' is done at last, and is a curious ' thing. For Christmas I propose to write Luther's choral, Vom Himmel hoch.' This I shall have to do all alone,— a pretty serious piece of business, as, indeed, will be the anniversary of the silver wedding, on which I shall light up a lot of candles for myself, play the 'Vaude- ville,' and look at my English baton. After that I shall take hold again of my instrumental music, write some more things for the pianoforte, and perhaps another and second symphony ; for there are two rattling around in my head." It will be remembered that Mendelssohn wrote ten meas- ures of the Andante of the "Scotch" symphony, July 30, 1829, at Edin- burgh, and that he worked rather fitfully on the symphony in 1830 at Rome, but did not finish it until early in 1842 at Berlin. In February, 1831, he wrote again from Rome: "I am making great progress with the Italian Symphony. It will be the most mature thing I have ever done, especially the last movement, Presto agitato. I have not yet found exactly the right thing for the Adagio, and I think I must put it off for Naples." He wrote a few days later : "If I could do one of my two symphonies here ! The Italian one I must and will put off till I have seen Naples, which must play a part in it." He wrote from Naples on April 27, 1831 : "The bad weather which we have been having for some days was good for my working, and I plunged with all zeal into the ' Walpurgis Night.' The thing grows more and more interesting to me, and I spend on it every free moment. It will be done in a few days, I think, and it will be a jolly piece.

AT HEPPE'S ONLY " ; present humor, I shall finish my Italian Symphony, and then I shall have something to show for my winter's work." But the symphony was not finished when Mendelssohn left Naples. He wrote from Paris (Jan. 21, 1832) to his sister: "Do you ask why I do not compose the Italian A major symphony? Because I am compos- ing the A minor overture with which I am going to introduce the ' Wal- purgis Night. ' At the general meeting of the Philharmonic Society, London, Nov. 5, 1832, the following resolution was unanimously passed: — That Mr. Mendelssohn-Bartholdy be requested to compose a symphony, an overture, and a vocal piece for the Society, for which he be offered the sum of one hundred guineas. That the copyright of the above compositions shall revert to the author after the expiration of two years, the Society reserving to itself the power of performing them at all times, it being understood that Mr. Mendelssohn have the privilege of publishing any arrangement of them as soon as he may think fit after their first performance at the Philharmonic concerts. Mendelssohn wrote a letter of acceptance, in which he expressed his u sincerest acknowledgments" and "warmest thanks." "I need not say how happy I shall be in thinking that I write for the Philharmonic Society." He made his third visit to London in April, 1833, and was again happy in " that smoky nest." He lodged in Great Portland Street, stood godfather to Felix Moscheles, who, as a painter, visited this country, and wrote to " the secretary of the Philharmonic Society : I beg you will inform the Directors of the Philharmonic Society that the scores of my new symphony and overture are at their disposal, and that I shall be able to offer them a vocal composition in a short time hence, which will complete the three works they have done me the honor to desire me to write for the Society. But, as I have finished two new overtures since last year, I beg to leave the choice to the Directors as to which they would prefer for their concerts and, in case they should think both of them convenient for performance, I " Where the TECHNIC is imperfect, a singer is limited, whatever may be the temperamental equipment."

The " Italian " symphony was performed for the first time and under the direction of the composer at the sixth concert of the Philharmonic Society that season, May 13, 1833. "The concerts of the Society were this year, and onward, given in the Hanover Square Rooms, which had just been remodelled. The symphony made a great impression, and Felix electrified the audience by his wonderful performance of Mozart's Concerto in D minor, his cadenzas being marvels in design and execution. His new overture in C was produced at the last concert of the season." After this performance Mendelssohn laid the symphony aside. He did not produce it at Leipsic during his direction of the Gewandhaus Con- certs, and it was not published until after his death. The first performance in Boston was probably on Nov. 15, 1851, in Tremont Temple at a concert of the Musical Fund Society, Mr. G. J. Webb conductor.

  • La Recepción Temprana De Wagner En Estados Unidos: Wagner En La Kleindeutschland De Nueva York, 1854-1874
    Resonancias vol. 19, n°35, junio-noviembre 2014, pp. 11-24 La recepción temprana de Wagner en Estados Unidos: Wagner en la Kleindeutschland de Nueva York, 1854-1874 F. Javier Albo Georgia State University, Atlanta, USA. [email protected] Resumen Este trabajo se centra en la recepción de la música de Richard Wagner, limitado a un marco geográfico específico, el de la ciudad de Nueva York –en concreto el distrito alemán de la ciudad, conocido como Kleindeutschland– y temporal, el comprendido entre la primera ejecución documentada de una obra de Wagner en la ciudad, en 1854, y la definitiva entronización del compositor como legítimo representante de la tradición musical alemana a partir del estreno de Lohengrin en la Academy of Music, en 1874. Se destaca la labor de promoción a cargo de los emigrantes alemanes, en su papel de mediadores, en los años 50 y 60 del siglo XIX, una labor fundamental ya que gracias a ella germinó la semilla del culto a Wagner que eclosionaría durante la Gilded Age, la “Edad dorada” del desarrollo económico y artístico finisecular, que afectó a todo el país pero de manera especial a Nueva York. Asimismo, se incluye una aproximación a la recepción en la crítica periodística neoyorquina durante el periodo en cuestión. Palabras clave: Wagner; Recepción temprana en Nueva York; Músicos alemanes y emigración, 1850-1875; Crítica periodística. Abstract This study discusses the early reception of Richard Wagner’s music in New York, starting with the first documented performance of a work by Wagner in the city, in 1854, and the momentous production of Lohengrin at the Academy of Music, in 1874.

It was originally written as an introduction to the tripartite Ring, but the cycle is now generally regarded as consisting of four individual operas. Das Rheingold received its premiere at the National Theatre in Munich on 22 September 1869, with August Kindermann in the role of Wotan, Heinrich Vogl as Loge, and Karl Fischer as Alberich. Wagner wanted this opera to be premiered as part of the entire cycle, but was forced to allow the performance at the insistence of his patron King Ludwig II of Bavaria. The opera received its premiere as part of the complete cycle on 13 August 1876, in the Bayreuther Festspielhaus.

Usually this is because they do not realize with what ease Franz Liszt and convenience a Steinway can at his Steinway be bought.

    Synopsis Act I Mythical times. Pursued by enemies during a storm, Siegmund exhaustedly stumbles into an unfamiliar home. Sieglinde finds him lying by the hearth, and the two feel an immediate attraction. Sieglinde’s husband, Hunding, interrupts them, asking the stranger who he is. Calling himself “Woeful,” Siegmund tells of a disaster-filled life, only to learn that Hunding is a kinsman of his enemies. Hunding tells his guest that they will fight to the death in the morning. Alone, Siegmund calls on his father, Wälse—who was in fact Wotan, leader of the gods, in human disguise—for the sword that he once promised him. Sieglinde reappears, having given Hunding a sleeping potion. She tells of her wedding, at which a one-eyed stranger thrust into a tree a sword that has since resisted every effort to pull it out. Sieglinde confesses her unhappiness to Siegmund, and he embraces her and promises to free her from her forced marriage to Hunding. As moonlight floods het room, Siegmund compares their feelings to the marriage of love and spring. Sieglindeaddr esses him as “Spring” but asks if his father was really “Wolf,” as he said earlier. When Siegmund gives his father’s name as “Wälse” instead, Sieglinde recognizes him as her twin brother. Siegmund pulls the sword from the tree and claims Sieglinde as his bride, rejoicing in the union of the Wälsungs. The pair rush off together into the night. Act II In the mountains, Wotan tells his warrior daughter, the Valkyrie Brünnhilde, that she must defend his mortal son Siegmund in his upcoming battle with Hunding.

Dat was ook de periode waarin de belangstelling voor Wagners muziekwerken in heel Europa een absolute hype werden. De overgangsjaren van de 19e naar de 20e eeuw, dus globaal de decennia rondom het jaar 1900, brachten daar geen grote verandering in. Bayreuth was aan het eind van de 19e eeuw de toonaangevende festivalstad in de wereld. Het klimaat daar werd beheerst door de geest van de Bayreuther Wagnergetrouwen en de als een godin vereerde Cosima Wagner, ‘die hohe Frau’. Zij bewaakte met ijzeren discipline wat zij zag als haar taak: de ongewijzigde voortzetting en internationale promotie van Richards werk, met name door sterk de regie te voeren over de Wagnerfestspiele in haar eigen zomertheater. Het tijdvak tussen de Frans-Duitse oorlog van 1870 en de Eerste Wereldoorlog, de zgn. ’Kaiserzeit’, staat internationaal te boek als een periode van grote technische vooruitgang, maar ook een van geestelijke decadentie en een toenemende verengde vorm van nationalisme. Ook in de tweede helft van deze periode, dus van 1900 tot de Eerste wereldoorlog, werd Wagners werk overal ter wereld zeer frequent uitgevoerd en enthousiast onthaald. Werkelijk in alle operahuizen van enig niveau, zowel in de oude als de nieuwe wereld, buitelde de ene Wagnervoorstelling over de andere: Wenen, Berlijn, München, New York, Amsterdam, Londen, Parijs, Brussel.
