TYLER, Manager. (364) Prelude to " The Master Singers of Nuremberg," in C major. Wagner's only comic music-drama, or musical comedy, Die Meistersinger von JVurnberg, was first given at the Hofoper in Munich under Hans von Billow's direction on June 21, 1868. The work was meant as a sort of comic counterpart, or satire-play, to Tannhauser. The prelude begins broadly with the first theme of the Master Singers' March, treated contrapuntally in allusion to the old school of art which the master singers represent in the comedy ; this is followed by the simpler and more march-like second theme of the same march, known also as the "King David Motive" (David was the tutelary patron of the master singers' guild). Then the first theme returns once more, and is worked up at considerable length by the full orchestra, rising up to a climax, after which comes some dainty play with phrases taken from Walther's Preislied and Werbelied, which after a while leads to a burlesque parody on the first theme of the march, played staccato by the wood-wind, and worked up con- trapuntally in conjunction with a queer, skipping, little figure with which the crowd jeer at Beckmesser to the words " Scheint mir nicht der Rechte" (He doesn't seem to me to be the right one), as he steps up to take part in the singing contest in the third act. This contrapuntal work goes on more and more boisterously and grotesquely until it at last becomes mere comic " Katzenmusik" or "cats' music," which suddenly debouches into one of the most beautiful and ingeniously constructed passages in all Wagner. The first violins, 'celli, and some of the wind instruments play the melody of Walther's Preislied ; as a bass to this the double-basses and bass-tuba play, note for note, the first theme of the march, while most of the wood- wind play the second theme of the march in diminution ; against these BRAIN-WORKERS. Horsford's Acid Phosphate is recommended by physicians of all schools, for restoring brain force or nervous energy, in all cases where the nervous system has been reduced below the normal standard by overwork, as found in lawyers, teachers, students, and brain-workers generally.

Notwithstanding the complexity of the scheme, the pas- sage is perfectly clear, each theme standing out with absolute distinctness. The working-out continues, growing stronger, phrases from the first march- theme gradually asserting their supremacy, until at last the second march- theme bursts forth on all the wind fortissimo, against a surging, billowing accompaniment on the strings, and a glowing coda brings the movement to a brilliant close. Almost the whole prelude is contrapuntal in treatment. It is scored for the usual modern grand orchestra. Prelude and " Isolde's Love-death," from " Tristan and Isolde." Exactly when Wagner first conceived the idea of writing a music-drama on the subject of Tristan and Isolde is not known : the earliest mention of it we find is in a letter to Franz Liszt, undated, but written in the last months of 1854. In this letter Wagner writes: — But, as I have never in my life enjoyed the full happiness of love, I will erect one more monument to this most beautiful of all my dreams, in which, from beginning to end, this love shall fully satisfy itself: I have planned out, in my head, a Tristan and Isolde, the simplest but most full-blooded musical conception. Later on, in a letter to Liszt, dated July 12, 1856, thanking him for his score of Mazeppa, we find the following : — At bottom, I feel more like writing poetry than composing, just now : it takes a mon- strous obstinacy of perseverance to keep up playing wheel-horse. I have again two won- derful subjects that I must work out some time or other: Tristan and Isolde (that you know !), but then — the Victory — the holiest, the completest redemption : but about this I cannot tell you.* * This refers to a conception which, many years later, took form as Parsifal.

Franklin Square, Boston, Mass. • During last season the following members of the Faculty appeared as soloists in these concerts Miss Louise A. Lsimer, Messrs. Heinrich Meyn, George M. Noweli, Carl Stasny, and Leo Schuhc. (867) Wagner had been for years at work on his Ring des Nibelungen ; he had completed the poem and written the music up to about the middle of the second act of Siegfried. He was still in political exile, and since Lohengrin (brought out by Liszt in Weimar on August 28, 1850) no new dramatic work of his had appeared. He began to feel that his artistic connection with the public had been too long severed, and was anxious to take it up again. He therefore interrupted his work on the Nibelungen, and turned with fresh enthusiasm to Tristan. But, when this score was finished, all sorts of obstacles were placed in the way of its being brought out ; and it was not until 1865 that it was first given in Munich, under Hans von Biilow's direction, on June 10. It was the first work in Wagner's third manner ever performed. The story on which the text is based was once thought to be of Norman origin, but was really Keltic ; it probably made its way through France into Germany, the most complete version of it extant being by Gottfried von Strassburg, written in the XIII.

RODDA FRANZ SCHUBERT Overture and Ballet Music No. 2 from the Incidental Music to Rosamunde, D. 644 (1820 and 1823) Franz Schubert was born in Vienna on January 31, 1797, and died there on November 19, 1828. He composed the music for Rosamunde during the years 1820 and 1823. The ballet was premiered in Vienna on December 20, 1823 at the Theater-an-der-Wein, with the composer conducting. The Incidental Music to Rosamunde was first performed by the Pittsburgh Symphony on November 9, 1906, conducted by Emil Paur at Carnegie Music Hall. Most recently, Lorin Maazel conducted the Overture to Rosamunde on March 14, 1986. The score calls for pairs of woodwinds, four horns, two trumpets, three trombones, timpani and strings. Performance tine: approximately 17 minutes Schubert wrote more for the stage than is commonly realized. His output contains over a dozen works for the theater, including eight complete operas and operettas. Every one flopped. Still, he doggedly followed each new theatrical opportunity that came his way.

  • History of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra
    HISTORY OF THE PITTSBURGH SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA For more than 119 years, the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra has been an essential part of Pittsburgh’s cultural landscape. The Pittsburgh Symphony, known for its artistic excellence, is credited with a rich history of the world’s finest conductors and musicians, and a strong commitment to the Pittsburgh region and its citizens. This tradition was furthered in fall 2008, when Austrian conductor Manfred Honeck assumed the position of music director with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. Heading the list of internationally recognized conductors to have led the Pittsburgh Symphony is Victor Herbert, music director between 1898 and 1904, who influenced the early development of the symphony. Preceding Herbert was Frederic Archer (1896-1899), the first Pittsburgh Orchestra conductor. The symphony’s solidification as an American institution took place in the late 1930s under the direction of Maestro Otto Klemperer. Conductors prior to Klemperer were Emil Paur (1904-1910), Elias Breeskin (1926-1930) and Antonio Modarelli (1930-1937). From 1938 to 1948, under the dynamic directorship of Fritz Reiner, the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra embarked on a new phase of its history, making its first international tour and its first commercial recording. The Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra’s standard of excellence was maintained and enhanced through the inspired leadership of William Steinberg during his quarter-century as music director between 1952 and 1976. André Previn (1976-1984) led the Orchestra to new heights through tours, recordings and television, including the PBS series, “Previn and the Pittsburgh.” Lorin Maazel began his relationship with the Pittsburgh Symphony in 1984 as music consultant but later served as a highly regarded music director from 1988 to 1996.

  • Overture Opera Guides
    overture opera guides in association with We are delighted to have the opportunity to work with Overture Publishing on this series of opera guides and to build on the work English National Opera did over twenty years ago on the Calder Opera Guide Series. As well as reworking and updating existing titles, Overture and ENO have commissioned new titles for the series and all of the guides will be published to coincide with repertoire being staged by the company at the London Coliseum. We hope that these guides will prove an invaluable resource now and for years to come, and that by delving deeper into the history of an opera, the poetry of the libretto and the nuances of the score, read- ers’ understanding and appreciation of the opera and the art form in general will be enhanced. John Berry Artistic Director, ENO The publisher John Calder began the Opera Guides series under the editorship of the late Nicholas John in association with English National Opera in 1980. It ran until 1994 and eventu- ally included forty-eight titles, covering fifty-eight operas. The books in the series were intended to be companions to the works that make up the core of the operatic repertory. They contained articles, illustrations, musical examples and a complete libretto and singing translation of each opera in the series, as well as bibliographies and discographies. The aim of the present relaunched series is to make available again the guides already published in a redesigned format with new illustrations, some newly commissioned articles, updated reference sections and a literal translation of the libretto that will enable the reader to get closer to the intentions and meaning of the original.
