Schreker Franz
SCHREKER FRAZ Compositore tedesco (Monaco di Baviera 23 III 1878 - Berlino 21 III 1934) 1 Schreker studiò composizione a Vienna insieme a Robert Fuchs e Hermann Graedener e violino con Sigismund Bachrich e Joseh Rosé. Fondatore (1908), e più tardi anche direttore (1911) del coro filarmonico di Vienna, nel 1912 fu nominato professore di composizione all'Accademia di musica. Dal 1920 fu direttore della Musikhochschule a Berlino, e negli anni compresi tra il 1922 e il 1933 diresse una classe di composizione all'Accademia prussiana delle arti di Berlino. Schreker fu amico di Schonberg e di Berg ed ebbe fra i suoi rilievi Alois Haba ed Ernest Krenek e fu uno dei compositori più celebri del suo tempo. Per numero di rappresentazioni delle sue opere superò addirittura Richard Strauss. Nel 1933 il regime nazista lo privò di tutte le cariche. Schreker è stato il compositore più popolare di un'opera fortemente influenzata dalla psicanalisi e basata sul patetismo di soggetti da cui traspaiono conflitti sessuali carichi di implicazioni simboliche. Al tempo stesso, è stato il maestro di un'espressività timbrica dell'orchestra che sfrutta a fondo le risorse di un cromatismo dal colore fortemente caratteristico e massimamente espressivo. 2 DER FERNE KLANG Tipo: (Il suono lontano) Opera in tre atti Soggetto: libretto proprio Prima: Francoforte, Stadtoper, 18 agosto 1912 Cast: Grete (S), Fritz (T), il dottor Vigelius (B), un comico (Bar), il conte (Bar), il cavaliere (T), Rudolf (B), una vecchia (Ms), il vecchio Graumann (B), sua moglie (Ms), l’oste (B), Mizi (S), Milly (Ms), Mary (S), una spagnola (A), il barone (B) Autore: Franz Schreker (1878-1934) Der ferne Klang è la seconda opera di Franz Schreker, ma la prima ad approdare sulle scene teatrali, dato che la precedente, Flammen (1902), era stata presentata soltanto in una ridotta esecuzione concertistica, con l’autore stesso al pianoforte. -

Christopher Hailey
Christopher Hailey: Franz Schreker and The Pluralities of Modernism [Source: Tempo, January 2002, 2-7] Vienna's credentials as a cradle of modernism are too familiar to need rehearsing. Freud, Kraus, Schnitzler, Musil, Wittgenstein, Klimt, Schiele, Kokoschka conjure up a world at once iridescent and lowering, voluptuously self-indulgent and cooly analytical. Arnold Schoenberg has been accorded pride of place as Vienna's quintessential musical modernist who confronted the crisis of language and meaning by emancipating dissonance and, a decade later, installing a new serial order. It is a tidy narrative and one largely established in the years after the Second World War by a generation of students and disciples intent upon reasserting disrupted continuities. That such continuities never existed is beside the point; it was a useful and, for its time, productive revision of history because it was fueled by the excitement of discovery. Revision always entails excision, and over the decades it became increasingly obvious that this narrative of Viennese modernism was a gross simplification. The re-discovery of Mahler was the first bump in the road, and attempts to portray him as Schoenberg's John the Baptist were subverted by the enormous force of Mahler's own personality and a popularity which soon generated its own self-sustaining momentum. In recent years other voices have emerged that could not be accommodated into the narrative, including Alexander Zemlinsky, Franz Schmidt, Egon Wellesz, Karl Weigl, Erich Wolfgang Korngold, and most vexing of all Franz Schreker. Long banished out of hand, Schreker was subsequently marginalized as a late Romantic and allotted a mini-orbit of his own. -

Revising Perspectives on Nineteenth-Century Jewish Composers: a Case Study Comparison of Ignaz Brüll and Salomon Jadassohn
Revising Perspectives on Nineteenth-Century Jewish Composers: A Case Study Comparison of Ignaz Brüll and Salomon Jadassohn by Adana Whitter B.A., Universit y of British Columbia, 2009 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Music) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) March 2013 © Adana Whitter, 2013 i Abstract The influence of anti-Semitism on the lives and careers of Jewish musicians within the social climate of nineteenth-century Europe is well known. Pamela Potter, Sander Gilman, Philip Bohlman, and K. M. Knittel have thoroughly explored the anti-Semitic treatment of Jewish composers during this period. Definitions of the experience of Jewish composers have been crystallized on the basis of prominent cases, such as Gustav Mahler or Alexander Zemlinsky, who were actively discussed in the press or other publications. The goal of this study is to examine whether the general view of anti-Semitism, as shown in those studies, applies to other Jewish composers. To this aim, this thesis will introduce two lesser known Jewish composers, Ignaz Brüll (1846-1907) and Salomon Jadassohn (1831-1902) as case studies, consider closely their particular situations at the end of the nineteenth century, and assess their positions vis-à-vis the general views of how musician Jews were treated in these societies. Chapter One outlines the historical and political context in Germany and Austria, where these two composers resided, in order to understand where they fit into that context. Chapter Two focuses on Jewishness in music, the difficulties involved in defining Jewish music, along with the contributions of other Jewish composers to the wider European culture, and makes clear the important part anti- Semitism played in the process of identification during this period. -
Introduction
INTRODUCTION The Passion according to St. Matthew for 181 (H 794; in the opening chorus. One aria (no. 9) was assigned to BR-CPEB D 4.4) is the first work in the fourth cycle of a different singer (soprano instead of tenor). The reason Passions that Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach performed in may simply have been that the borrowed movements stem Hamburg. He followed the long-established rotational from Homilius and Benda, whose style of church music scheme, by which the Gospels were used year after year matched Bach’s intention particularly well. in the sequence Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John without With respect to aesthetics, the 181 Passion may also repeating an earlier setting. A reduction of the amount of be regarded as a turning point in Bach’s understanding of preparatory work was made possible for the St. Matthew the Passion story. While the early settings show a broad Passions by reusing the musical skeleton of the previous spectrum of affections displayed in the choruses and arias, works, namely, the biblical narrative and some of the cho- the later Passions are more introverted and refrain from rales.

Programmheft
Franz Schreker Kammersinfonie in einem Satz Duisburger Philharmoniker Annäherungen: der Komponist Franz Schreker Axel Kober Der Name des Komponisten Franz Schreker ist heute längst nicht mehr so be- Leitung kannt, wie er es früher einmal war. Den Gipfelpunkt seines Ruhmes erreichte Schreker in dem Jahrzehnt des Ersten Weltkriegs, als er mit drei Bühnenwerken Furore machte: 1912 wurde die Oper „Der ferne Klang“ uraufgeführt, 1918 folgten „Die Gezeichneten“ und 1920 „Der Schatzgräber“. Schreker, der sich die Libretti zu seinen Opern selbst schrieb, zählte zeitweise neben Richard Strauss zu den führenden deutschsprachigen Musikdramatikern. Provozierende Wirkungen blieben in diesen Werken nicht aus, Franz Schreker (1878-1934) zumal Schreker unwahrscheinlich dichte atmosphärische Zeichnungen gelangen, die Werke in bisweilen fantastische Welten führten und auch Erkenntnisse der Psycho- Kammersinfonie in einem Satz (1916) analyse berücksichtigten. Den Aufstieg musste sich Franz Schreker mühsam erkämpfen. Dabei sah anfangs alles so günstig aus: Als Sohn eines jüdischen Hofphotografen wurde er am 23. März 1878 in Monaco geboren. Die Familie reiste viel, doch der Vater starb früh, die Kind- heits- und Jugendjahre in Wien verbrachte er in bescheidenen Verhältnissen. Das Mu- sikstudium wurde ermöglicht, wobei der Student sich als Chor- und Orchesterleiter betätigte und sich nachdrücklich für die Musik der Gegenwart einsetzte. Seine erste Oper, „Flammen“, wurde 1902 konzertant in Wien uraufgeführt. Mit der Tanzpantomi- me „Der Geburtstag der Infantin“ -
