Ludwig van BeethovE^^ (Born at Bonn, December 16 (?), 1770; died at \'ienna, March 26, 1827.) Beethoven sketched motives of the allegro, andante, and scherzo of this symphony as early as t 800 and 1 801 . We know from sketches that, while he was at work on "Fidelio" and the pianoforte concerto in G major,— 1 804-1 806, —he was also busied with this symphony, which he put aside to compose the fourth symphony, in B-flat. The s^onphony in C minor was finished in the neighborhood of Hei- ligenstadt in 1807. Dedicated to the Prince von Lobkowitz and the Count Rasumoffsky, it was published in April, 1809. It was first performed at the Theater an der Wien, Vienna, December 22, 1808. All the pieces were by Beethoven: the symphonv described on the programme as "A symphony entitled 'Recollections of Life 5" in the Country,' in F major. No. (sic) ; an Aria, "Ah, perfido," sung by Josephine Kilitzky; Hymn with Latin text written in church style, with chorus and solos; Pianoforte Concerto in G major, played by Beethoven; Grand Symphony in C minor, No. 6 (sic); Sanctus, with Latin text written in church style (from the Mass in C major), with chorus and solos; Fantasia for pianoforte solo; Fantasia for piano- forte "into which the full orchestra enters little by little, and at the end the chorus joins in the Finale." Beethoven played the pianoforte part. The concert began at half-past six. We know nothing about the pecuniary result. Performers and audience suffered from the cold. J. F. Reichardt wrote a review of the new works. He named, and incorrectly, the sub-titles of the Pastoral Symphony, and added: "Each number was a very long, complete, developed movement, full of lively painting and brilliant thoughts and figures ; and this, a pastoral symphony, lasted much longer than a whole court concert lasts in Berlin." Of the one in C minor he simply said: "A great, highly- developed, too long symphony. A gentleman next us assured us he had noticed at the rehearsal that the 'cello part alone—and the 'cellists were kept very busy—covered thirty-four pages. It is true that the copyists here understand how to spread out their copy, as the law scriveners do at home."

J47 Tremont Street^ Boston* 1784 — — Hymn—a gloria—and the Sanctus, and said that the pianoforte con- certo was enormously difficult, but Beethoven played it in an astound- ing manner and with incredible speed. "He literally sang the Adagio, a masterpiece of beautiful, developed song, with a deep and melancholy feeling that streamed through me also." Count Wilhourski told Ferdinand Hiller that he sat alone in an orchestra stall at the perform- ance, and that Beethoven, called out, bowed to him personally, in a half-friendly, half -ironical manner. The symphony is scored for two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, two horns, two trumpets, kettledrums, strings; and in the last movement piccolo, double-bassoon, and three trombones are added. Instead of inquiring curiously into the legend invented by Schindler, —-"and for this reason a statement to be doubted," as von Billow said, that Beethoven remarked of the first theme, "So knocks Fate on the door!"* instead of investigating the statement that the rhythm of this theme was suggested by the note of a bird,—oriole or goldfinch, —heard during a walk; instead of a long analysis, which is vexation and con- fusion without the themes and their variants in notation,—let us read and ponder what Hector Berlioz wrote concerning this symphony of the man before whom he humbly bowed : "The most celebrated of them all, beyond doubt and peradventure, is also the first, I think, in which Beethoven gave the reins to his vast imagination, without taking for guide or aid a foreign thought. In the first, second, and fourth, he more or less enlarged forms already known, and poetized them with all the brilliant and passionate inspirations of his vigorous youth. In the third, the 'Eroica,' there is a tendency, it is true, to enlarge the form, and the thought is raised to a mighty height; but it is impossible to ignore the influence of one of the divine poets to whom for a long time the great artist had raised a temple in his heart. Beethoven, faithful to the Horatian precept, 'Nocturna versate manu, versate diurna,' read Homer constantly, and in his mag- nificent musical epopee, which, they say, I know not whether it be true * It is said that Ferdinand Ries was the author of this explanation, and that Beethoven was grimly sarcastic when Ries, his pupil, made it known to him.

However, there are some rather critical differences. The following outlines these. Ancient Times In the centuries B.C.E. (Before Common Era), the Celtic peoples populated much of Europe. Although the ancient Celts varied in description, they had a reasonably similar culture. The religion of the Celts in particular helped to unify tradition. The ancient druidic faith held the sum of all the Celt people’s knowledge and laws. The ancient druids generally maintained a neutrality in politics and gained impartiality in as judges of important social matters among the Celtic peoples. It has been said that a druid could stop a battle between warring tribes in these ancient times simply by walking between the armies. None challenged the authority and power of the druids. Coming of the Romans Boudicea, A Bard’s Tale The Romans line every hill, The conquests of Julius Ceasar targeted the druids as the nerve center and unifying force of Spears bright and deadly still, Blood red with silver shields, the Gallic Celts.

His ideas on how to interpret the core Classical and early Romantic orchestral repertoire were declared the benchmark by subsequent generations of conductors, making him the originator of a conducting tradition by which those who came after him defined their art – starting with Wagner’s student Hans von Bülow and progressing from him to Arthur Nikisch, Felix Weingartner, Gustav Mahler, Richard Strauss, Wilhelm Furtwängler and beyond. This conference will bring together leading experts in the research field in question. A workshop and concert with an orchestra with students of the Bern University of the Arts, the Hochschule Luzern – Music and the Royal Academy of Music London, directed by Prof. Ray Holden from the project partner, the Royal Academy of Music, will offer a practical perspective on the interpretation history of the Classical repertoire.

  • Current Trends in the Implementation of Educational Concerts of Symphony Orchestras: a Review of Literature LEONI HADJITHOMA European University, Cyprus
    Min-Ad: Israel Studies in Musicology Online, Vol. 15, 2018 (2) Materials of the First International Conference on Music Education in the Community “Traditions, Challenges and Innovations,” Tel-Aviv – Jerusalem, May 14-17, 2017 Current Trends in the Implementation of Educational Concerts of Symphony Orchestras: A Review of Literature LEONI HADJITHOMA European University, Cyprus Abstract: This presentation focused on the current trends in the implementation of educational concerts of symphony orchestras. The aim was to collect, organize and present innovative approaches on how to design enjoyable educational concerts for students and provide them with memorable experiences. Data was collected from orchestra websites, reports, books and published thesis and doctoral dissertations. Results show that educational concerts are usually designed by a conductor often in collaboration with the director of the music education department of an orchestra. Teacher and student resources, and teacher training are provided to prepare the students for the experience. The choice of repertoire depends on the learning objectives of each concert, but the musical tastes and needs of the students should always be taken into consideration. The students are actively engaged in various ways during the concert. Assessment of educational concerts is carried out and the results are used internally for improvement of future concerts. Keywords: educational concerts, symphony orchestra, trends Introduction Many symphony orchestras include in their annual programs educational concerts for students in collaboration with schools to educate the audience of the future and enrich the services they offer to the public. At the same time, educational concerts are an important part of the music curriculum in education and give students the opportunity to gain additional experiences, while interacting with the community they belong to.

  • 1 the Consequences of Presumed Innocence: the Nineteenth-Century Reception of Joseph Haydn1 Leon Botstein
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-58052-6 - Haydn Studies Edited by W. Dean Sutcliffe Excerpt More information 1 The consequences of presumed innocence: the nineteenth-century reception of Joseph Haydn1 leon botstein 1 The Haydn paradox: from engaged affection to distant respect The mystery that plagues the contemporary conception and recep- tion of Haydn and his music has a long and remarkably unbroken history. Perhaps Haydn experienced the misfortune (an ironic one when one con- siders the frequency of premature deaths among his great contemporaries or near contemporaries) of living too long.Years before his death in 1809 he was considered so old that the French and English had already presumed him dead in 1805.2 Many wrote condolence letters and a Requiem Mass was planned in Paris. Haydn’s music was both familiar and venerated. Raphael Georg Kiesewetter (1773–1850), writing in Vienna in 1846, reflected the perspective of the beginning of the nineteenth century in his Geschichte der europaeisch-abendlaendischen oder unsrer heutigen Musik. Haydn had ‘ele- vated all of instrumental music to a never before anticipated level of perfec- tion’. Haydn had a ‘perfect knowledge of instrumental effects’ and with Mozart (for whom Haydn was the ‘example and ideal’) created a ‘new school which may be called the German or ...the “Viennese”school’.Theirs was the ‘golden age’ of music. Most significantly, Haydn’s instrumental works represented the standard of what was ‘true beauty’in music.3 Lurking beneath Kiesewetter’s praise of Haydn (and his discreet expressions of doubt about the novelties of Haydn’s successors, including 1 This essay is an expanded and revised form of my essay entitled ‘The Demise of Philosophical Listening’, in Elaine Sisman, ed., Haydn and his World (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1997), pp.

  • Felix Weingartner La
    Felix Weingartner La Vie l naquit le 2 juin 1863 à Zara (Zadar en Yougoslavie) de parents autrichiens issus d’une lignée aristocratique. A l’âge de 7 ans, sa découverte du Don Giovanni de I Mozart lui donna l’envie de devenir chef d’orchestre. En 1881, il entra au Conservatoire de Leipzig où il eut comme professeur Carl Reinecke, directeur de l’orchestre du Gewandhaus, commença à composer, devint en 1883 l’élève de Liszt à Weimar et écrivit son premier opéra Sakuntala. La composition fut pour lui un « devoir sacré » tout au long de son existence mais la direction d’orchestre resta le moyen de gagner sa vie. En 1884, il fut nommé chef de chœur et chef d’orchestre au Théâtre municipal de Koenigsberg ; en 1885-1887, il devint second chef à l’Opéra de Dantzig et resta deux saisons à Hamburg. Sa nomination comme premier chef à Mannheim en octobre 1889 fut importante car elle lui permit de donner des concerts avec l’Académie de Musique. En avril 1891, son arrivée à l’Opéra Royal de Berlin fut une reconnaissance de ses talents mais, en raison de constantes intrigues et la préférence donnée à Karl Muck, il démissionna au début de 1898. Durant seize ans, il dirigea l’Orchestre Royal, donnant des exécutions d’un niveau artistique jamais entendu à Berlin, ce qui lui donna une énorme réputation de chef de concert. Les invitations furent nombreuses : Paris (dès 1898), Bruxelles, Londres, etc. Des cycles complets des symphonies de Beethoven firent de lui l’interprète par excellence de ce compositeur.

  • A History of Music in Old Mount Vernon, Ohio with Particular Attention to Woodward Hall and the Nineteenth-Century American Opera House
    A HISTORY OF MUSIC IN OLD MOUNT VERNON, OHIO WITH PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO WOODWARD HALL AND THE NINETEENTH-CENTURY AMERICAN OPERA HOUSE A Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Elizabeth Bleecker McDaniel, B.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2003 Master's Examination Committee Approved by Dr. Graeme M. Boone, Adviser Dr. Charles M. Atkinson _________________________ Adviser Mr. Christopher R. Weait School of Music ABSTRACT During the antebellum period, the town of Mount Vernon, Ohio had a flourishing music scene that included performances by both local amateur societies and professional touring groups. When Woodward Hall, located on the top floor of a four-story commercial building, opened its doors to the public in 1851, it provided the town with its first dedicated theater. Newspaper items and other early sources show that the hall was a focus of public culture in the 1850s, hosting concerts, plays, lectures, and art exhibits as well as community activities including dances, church fundraisers, and school exhibitions. The early source materials for Mount Vernon, however, like those for many small towns, are lacunary, and especially so in the case of Woodward Hall. These shortcomings are compensated, to some extent, by materials relating to theaters of similar size and age in other towns, which offer points of comparison for the Woodward and prove it to be a typical mid-nineteenth-century American theater in some respects, and a distinctive one in others. Modern-day music histories have heretofore been silent on the subject of music and opera houses in small towns despite Oscar Sonneck’s call, some ninety years ago, for local music historiography as a necessary first step in creating a complete history of American music.
