Bettina Brentano Von Arnim and Caroline Von Günderode BETTINA BRENTANO VON ARNIM AND CAROLINE VON GÜNDERODE BETTINA BRENTANO VON ARNIM CAROLINE VON GÜNDERODE Recently The New Yorker published an unsubstantiated proclamation from Dr. Sanjay Gulati of Waltham, Massachusetts that Henry David Thoreau had been sexist (Dr. Gulati neglected to mention what his proof text is). This causes me to recollect that it had been a favorite assertion of Professor Emeritus Wendell Glick, that Thoreau was an unreconstructed male chauvinist: “Every man has a wife like that” had been Professor Glick’s proof text. Well! How is it that Henry, this “sexist,” this so-called “unreconstructed male chauvinist,” had in his personal library one of the earliest classics of feminist literature, CORRESPONDENCE OF FRÄULEIN GÜNDERODE WITH BETTINA VON ARNIM? What a strange item for a sexist to find of value! HDT WHAT? INDEX CAROLINE VON GÜNDERODE BETTINA BRENTANO VON ARNIM 1780 February 11, Friday: Caroline von Günderode was born in Karlsruhe, Germany. A British expedition landed on Seabrook Island near Charleston, South Carolina, as part of laying siege to that port community. NEVER READ AHEAD! TO APPRECIATE FEBRUARY 11TH, 1780 AT ALL ONE MUST APPRECIATE IT AS A TODAY (THE FOLLOWING DAY, TOMORROW, IS BUT A PORTION OF THE UNREALIZED FUTURE AND IFFY AT BEST). Caroline von Günderode “Stack of the Artist of Kouroo” Project HDT WHAT? INDEX BETTINA BRENTANO VON ARNIM CAROLINE VON GÜNDERODE 1785 April 4, Monday: Elisabeth “Bettine” Catharina Ludovica Magdalena Brentano was born in Frankfurt, Germany (in her mature instar she would be known as the Countess of Arnim, Bettina Brentano von Arnim). “HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE” BEING A VIEW FROM A PARTICULAR POINT IN TIME (JUST AS THE PERSPECTIVE IN A PAINTING IS A VIEW FROM A PARTICULAR POINT IN SPACE), TO “LOOK AT THE COURSE OF HISTORY MORE GENERALLY” WOULD BE TO SACRIFICE PERSPECTIVE ALTOGETHER. THIS IS FANTASY-LAND, YOU’RE FOOLING YOURSELF. THERE CANNOT BE ANY SUCH THINGIE, AS SUCH A PERSPECTIVE. Bettina Brentano von Arnim “Stack of the Artist of Kouroo” Project HDT WHAT? INDEX CAROLINE VON GÜNDERODE BETTINA BRENTANO VON ARNIM 1797 Caroline von Günderode took lodgings at a residence in Frankfurt that specialized in respectable noblewomen who had fallen into reduced circumstances. HDT WHAT? INDEX BETTINA BRENTANO VON ARNIM CAROLINE VON GÜNDERODE 1804 August: Caroline von Günderode had fallen passionately in love with a law student, Friedrich Karl von Savigny, who, it seems, had the usual preference for non-brainy women. He decided to marry Kunigunde, Caroline’s sister. At this juncture she met Friedrich Creuzer, a man married to an older woman. When his wife eventually agreed to a divorce Creuzer proceeded to get cold feet, and demanded of Caroline that she entirely discontinue her involvement in the works of Schelling. YOUR GARDEN-VARIETY ACADEMIC HISTORIAN INVITES YOU TO CLIMB ABOARD A HOVERING TIME MACHINE TO SKIM IN METATIME BACK ACROSS THE GEOLOGY OF OUR PAST TIMESLICES, WHILE OFFERING UP A GARDEN VARIETY OF COGENT ASSESSMENTS OF OUR PROGRESSION. WHAT A LOAD OF CRAP! YOU SHOULD REFUSE THIS HELICOPTERISH OVERVIEW OF THE HISTORICAL PAST, FOR IN THE REAL WORLD THINGS HAPPEN ONLY AS THEY HAPPEN. WHAT THIS SORT WRITES AMOUNTS, LIKE MERE “SCIENCE FICTION,” MERELY TO “HISTORY FICTION”: IT’SNOT WORTH YOUR ATTENTION. Caroline von Günderode “Stack of the Artist of Kouroo” Project HDT WHAT? INDEX CAROLINE VON GÜNDERODE BETTINA BRENTANO VON ARNIM 1806 At the age of about 21, Elisabeth Catharina Ludovica Magdalena Brentano began to help collect the folk songs that would appear in DES KNABEN WUNDERHORN, a collaborative work of her poet brother and her future husband, Ludwig Achim von Arnim. She began an intimate correspondence with Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, who was 58. BETTINA BRENTANO VON ARNIM THE TASK OF THE HISTORIAN IS TO CREATE HINDSIGHT WHILE INTERCEPTING ANY ILLUSION OF FORESIGHT. NOTHING A HUMAN CAN SEE CAN EVER BE SEEN AS IF THROUGH THE EYE OF GOD. July 26, Saturday: Caroline von Günderode had of course resisted the idea that in order to be married to Friedrich Creuzer, she would need to pledge to discontinue her reading in the works of Schelling. At Winkel im Rheingau, Germany, therefore, she received his “Dear John” letter. She strolled to the banks of the Rhine and did herself in with a dagger.

INDEX CAROLINE VON GÜNDERODE BETTINA BRENTANO VON ARNIM 1811 March 11, Monday: Captain Paul Cuffe’s 69-ton Traveller arrived at Freeport, Sierra Leone. He would trade his goods, visit the British governor, meet native leaders, and make himself familiar with the situation in that British colony. He would establish there a “Friendly Society” of traders who dealt only in trade goods, and not at all in human beings. Near Nottingham, England, a group of workers began a wild protest against the new textile machinery (knitting frames) that was impacting their jobs. They would be termed Luddites or “Ludds” (reputedly after a Ned Ludd). By the following year Luddites would be active in Yorkshire, Derbyshire, Lancashire, and Leicestershire. Although the Luddites avoided violent acts against persons, government crackdowns would include mass shootings, hangings, and deportations. It would require 14,000 British soldiers to quell the rebellion. The movement would effectively die in 1813 except for a brief resurgence at the end of the Napoleonic Wars in 1816. The Spanish defenders of Badajoz surrendered the city to the French. Elisabeth Catharina Ludovica Magdalena Brentano got married with Ludwig Achim von Arnim. The couple would produce 7 children. BETTINA BRENTANO VON ARNIM Friend Stephen Wanton Gould wrote in his journal: 2nd day 11 of 3 Mo // My H has been engaged in assisting brother David in removing from his house (which he has sold) to one owned by John Williams in Thames Street - I have been occupied as usual— ————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— RELIGIOUS SOCIETY OF FRIENDS HISTORY’S NOT MADE OF WOULD.

Hans-Bernd Spies (Quellen zum politischen Denken der Deutschen im 19. und 20.

Frauenbriefe der Romantik, ed. Katja Behrens (Insel Taschenbuch, 545), Frankfurt, Insel, 449 pp. + 18 illus, contains a selection ofletters by Karoline von Giinderode, Bettina von Arnim, Rahel Varnhagen, Caroline Schlegel-Schelling, Dorothea Veit-Schlegel, and Susette Gontard.

  • Mahler's Third Symphony and the Languages of Transcendence
    Mahler’s Third Symphony and the Languages of Transcendence Megan H. Francisco A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts University of Washington 2016 Stephen Rumph, Chair JoAnn Taricani Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Music ©Copyright 2016 Megan H. Francisco University of Washington Abstract Mahler’s Third Symphony and the Languages of Transcendence Megan H. Francisco Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Stephen Rumph Music History A work reaching beyond any of his previous compositional efforts, Gustav Mahler’s Third Symphony embodies cultural, political, and philosophical ideals of the Viennese fin-de- siècle generation. Comprising six enormous movements and lasting over ninety minutes, the work stretches the boundaries of symphonic form while simultaneously testing the patience of its listeners. Mahler provided a brief program to accompany his symphony, which begins with creation, moves through inanimate flowers to animals, before finally reaching humanity in the fourth movement. In this movement, Mahler used an excerpt from Friedrich Nietzsche’s Also sprach Zarathustra to introduce spoken language into the symphony. The relationship of music and language plays an integral role in Mahler’s expressive design of the Third Symphony, specifically in his vision of transcendence. Mahler creates a subtle transformation from elevated language (the fourth) to a polytextuality of folksong and onomatopoeia (the fifth) that culminates in the final, transcendent sixth movement. Throughout these last three movements, Mahler incorporates philosophical concepts from Nietzsche and his beloved Arthur Schopenhauer. In studying the treatment of language in these culminating movements, this thesis shows how Nietzsche’s metaphysical philosophies help listeners encounter and transcend Schopenhauer’s Will at the climactic end of the Third Symphony.

Nach einer ersten Bestands auf- Romantik nahme über das Beziehungsverhältnis von „Romantik und Revolution“ geht es jetzt um die freiheitliche Dimension der Romantik. Dabei stehen ebenfalls die politischen Implikationen der Romantik im Zentrum, um das gängige Bild einer konservativen und rück- und wärtsgewandten Bewegung kritisch zu hinterfragen. Das Denken und Handeln der Romantiker fi ndet in einer Gesellschaft im Umbruch statt, und es sucht Freiheit diesen Umbruch zu gestalten – teils in konservativer Abwehr der Französischen Revolution, teils in freiheit- lichem Streben nach der Moderne. Der Band betont den zweiten Aspekt, der in Geschichts- und Sozial- wissenschaft bislang vernachlässigt wurde. Von struktu- rellen Betrachtungen zur Romantik über die Würdigung zentraler intellektuell-politischer Figuren bis hin zur späteren Rezeption werden deutsche und europäische Romantik in einem weiten Bogen erfasst. isbn 978-3-8253-6190-7 ereignis weimar–jena kultur um 1800 ästhetische forschungen Herausgegeben von klaus manger Band 32 66190-7190-7 TTit.it.

  • Bettina V. Arnim Geb. Brentano Schriftstellerin * 4
    Bettina v. Arnim geb. Brentano Schriftstellerin * 4. April 1785 in Frankfurt a. Main, † 20. Januar 1859 in Berlin, begraben in Wiepersdorf. Ihr voller Vorname lautet Elisabeth Catharina Ludowica Magdalena . Sie selbst nannte sich Bettine , und so wird sie auch vielfach von den Autoren der neueren Forschung bezeichnet. Bettinas Vater war der Kaufmann und kurtrierische Resident in Frankfurt am Main Peter Anton Brentano (1735 - 1797), ihre Mutter dessen zweite Frau Maximiliane v. La Roche (1756 - 1793), eine Tochter der Schriftstellerin Sophie v. La Roche (1730 - 1807). Bettina war das siebente Kind aus dieser Ehe. Einer ihrer älteren Brüder war der Dichter Clemens Brentano (1778 - 1842), dem sie sich innig und freundschaftlich geistig verbunden fühlte und der ihre Gefühls- und Lebenswelt maßgeblich bestimmte. Als Clemens 1801 seinen Studienfreund, den jungen Achim v. Arnim kennenlernte und mit ihm fortan eine enge, sich gegenseitig befruchtende Freundschaft pflegte, die beiden gemeinsam die Liedersammlung "Des Knaben Wunderhorn" erarbeiteten und herausgaben und sich in vielseitigen geistigen und literarischen Zirkeln engagierten, wurde auch Bettina in diesen Freundeskreis und die Gedankenwelt der Romantik mit einbezogen, was schließlich 10 Jahre später zur Heirat mit Achim v. Arnim führte. Bettina, 1809 1793 Tod der Mutter. 1793 - 1797 Bettina wird gemeinsam mit drei Schwestern im Ursulinenkloster Fritzlar erzogen. 1797 Tod des Vaters; Bettina lebt zunächst vorübergehend im Haushalt des 20 Jahre älteren Halbbruders Franz in Frankfurt am Main.

  • Decca Discography
    DECCA DISCOGRAPHY >>V VIENNA, Austria, Germany, Hungary, etc. The Vienna Philharmonic was the jewel in Decca’s crown, particularly from 1956 when the engineers adopted the Sofiensaal as their favoured studio. The contract with the orchestra was secured partly by cultivating various chamber ensembles drawn from its membership. Vienna was favoured for symphonic cycles, particularly in the mid-1960s, and for German opera and operetta, including Strausses of all varieties and Solti’s “Ring” (1958-65), as well as Mackerras’s Janá ček (1976-82). Karajan recorded intermittently for Decca with the VPO from 1959-78. But apart from the New Year concerts, resumed in 2008, recording with the VPO ceased in 1998. Outside the capital there were various sessions in Salzburg from 1984-99. Germany was largely left to Decca’s partner Telefunken, though it was so overshadowed by Deutsche Grammophon and EMI Electrola that few of its products were marketed in the UK, with even those soon relegated to a cheap label. It later signed Harnoncourt and eventually became part of the competition, joining Warner Classics in 1990. Decca did venture to Bayreuth in 1951, ’53 and ’55 but wrecking tactics by Walter Legge blocked the release of several recordings for half a century. The Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra’s sessions moved from Geneva to its home town in 1963 and continued there until 1985. The exiled Philharmonia Hungarica recorded in West Germany from 1969-75. There were a few engagements with the Bavarian Radio in Munich from 1977- 82, but the first substantial contract with a German symphony orchestra did not come until 1982.
