Ringrazio inoltre l’intero collegio docenti del corso di dottorato in Storia delle Arti, in particolare nella persona del coordinatore Giuseppe Barbieri, per l’aiuto prestatomi nelle difficoltà che ho incontrate sul mio cammino, nonché per l’ascolto e la disponibilità alla discussione riguardo alle mie tematiche di ricerca, da cui ho ricevuto indicazioni e stimoli fecondi. Le ricerche svolte per la scrittura di queste pagine sono state rese possibili grazie alla pronta collaborazione del personale delle seguenti biblioteche ed archivi, a cui va la mia gratitudine: Bibliothèque Nationale de France di Parigi; Biblioteka Narodowa di Varsavia, Conservatorio di Musica “Luigi Cherubini” di Firenze; Lobkowicz Collections di Praga (Music Archive); Österreichische Nationalbibliothek di Vienna (Musiksammlung e Theatermuseum); Staatsbibliothek – Preußischer Kulturbesitz di Berlino (Musikabteilung). L’edizione critica della Faniska di Luigi Cherubini, di cui discuterò il progetto nelle pagine seguenti, sarà accolta all’interno della Cherubini-Werkausgabe pubblicata presso la Simrock di Berlino; ringrazio per la fiducia e l’appoggio il comitato scientifico della collana, in particolare la direttrice Helen Geyer e

He has worked for a number of specialist labels, including Pearl, Biddulph, Romophone and Music & Arts. Three of his transfers have been Great Opera Recordings nominated for Gramophone Awards. A pianist by training, his passions are music, history and working on projects. He has found a way to combine all three in the transfer of historical recordings. Ludwig Van Obert-Thorn describes himself as a ‘moderate interventionist’ rather than a ‘purist’ or ‘re-processor,’ unlike those who apply significant additions and make major changes to the acoustical qualities of old recordings. His BEETHOVEN philosophy is that a good transfer should not call attention to itself, but rather allow the performances to be heard (1770-1827) with the greatest clarity. There is no over-reverberant ‘cathedral sound’ in an Obert-Thorn restoration, nor is there the tinny bass and piercing mid-range of many ‘authorised’ commercial issues. He works with the cleanest available 78s, and Fidelio consistently achieves better results than restoration engineers working with the metal parts from the archives of the Opera in Two Acts modern corporate owners of the original recordings.

  • Hans Christian Andersen and His Social Reception in Austria
    Hans Christian Andersen and his Social Reception in Austria Sven Hakon Rossel Professor, University of Vienna Abstract This article documents Hans Christian Andersen’s gradual development from being a young unknown Danish writer to becoming socially accepted and acknowledged as an integral part of Austrian social and artistic life. The point of departure is his second novel Kun en Spillemand (Andersen, 1837/1988; Only a Fiddler) of which two chapters are set in Vienna. This process of so-called acculturation, i.e. the appropriation of various social, psychological and cultural elements of the country visited, begins with Andersen’s first stay in Austria in 1834 – the first of altogether six visits – and finds its climax in 1846, when he is invited to give a reading of his fairy tales at the imperial castle in Vienna. It is noteworthy that this process to a large degree was the result of a planned strategy on Andersen’s behalf. Before arriving in Vienna, he procured letters of recommendation and upon arrival he systematically made friends with the city’s most important artistic and intellectual personalities. Another strategic move, of course, was to choose Vienna as a partial setting for his most successful novel in the German-speaking world. Introduction: Only a Fiddler In Hans Christian Andersen’s second novel, Kun en Spillemand (Andersen, 1837/1988; Only a Fiddler), a Bildungsroman like his other five novels, one of the characters, a Danish physician living in the Austrian capital Vienna, compares Austria with Denmark and arrives at this conclusion: The inhabitants of Vienna possess so much, both that which is good and that which is petty- minded, they have this in common with the inhabitants of Copenhagen, the difference being that the Viennese possess more liveliness.

  • Cherubini Luigi
    CHERUBINI LUIGI Compositore italiano (Firenze, 14 IX 1760 - Parigi, 15 III 1842) 1 Decimo figlio di Bartolomeo (Firenze 21 X 1726 - 10 IX 1792), sostituto clavicembalista al teatro della Pergola, e di Veridiana Bosi, iniziò lo studio della musica sotto la guida paterna; a nove anni, morta nel frattempo la madre, andò a scuola presso Bartolomeo ed Alessandro Felici, padre e figlio, i quali proprio allora avevano aperto in Firenze una specie di "bottega" per l'insegnamento del contrappunto. Al 1773 risale la prima composizione elencata in quel catalogo di tutte le sue opere che Cherubini istituì più tardi e tenne fedelmente aggiornato sino alla vigilia della morte. Si tratta di una Messa in Re con accompagnamento di strumenti, cui tengono dietro, nel periodo dal 1773 al 1777 due Intermezzi, due Messe, un Oratorio, altra musica sacra e una Cantata. In seguito a questi precoci successi, il granduca Pietro Leopoldo di Lorena concedette a Cherubini una borsa di studio affinché il giovane musicista potesse stabilirsi nella vicina Bologna e frequentare le lezioni di G. Sarti. Il trasferimento a Bologna ebbe luogo nel 1778, ma non durò molto perché Sarti, nel 1779, vinse il concorso per un posto di maestro di cappella nel Duomo di Milano e a Milano portò seco il suo allievo. Qui Cherubini compose altre musiche sacre (che non si trovano più) a titolo di studio; e da Milano, nello stesso anno 1779, si recò ad Alessandria per musicare e far rappresentare in quel teatro, nella stagione della fiera d’autunno, il suo primo melodramma Quinto Fabio. Poi rientrò a Milano, dove nel 1780 scrisse le 6 Sonate per clavicembalo.
