  • Two Letters by Anton Bruckner
    Two Letters by Anton Bruckner Jürgen Thym Bruckner ALS, 13.XI.1883 Lieber Freund! Auf Gerathewohl schreibe ich; denn Ihr Brief ist versteckt. Weiß weder Ihre Adresse noch sonstigen Charakter von Ihnen. Danke sehr für Ihr liebes Schreiben. Omnes amici mei dereliquerunt me! In diesen Worten haben Sie die ganze Situation. Hans Richter nennt mich jetzt musik [alischen] Narren weil ich zu wenig kürzen wollte; (wie er sagt;) führt natürlich gar nichts auf; ich stehe gegenwärtig ganz allein da. Wünsche, daß es Ihnen besser ergehen möge, und Sie bald oben hinauf kommen mögen! Dann werden Sie gewiß meiner nicht vergessen. Glück auf! Ihr A. Bruckner Wien, 13. Nov. 1883 Dear Friend: I take the risk or writing to you, even though I cannot find your letter and know neither your address nor title. Thank you very much for your nice letter. All my friends have abandoned me! These words tell you the whole situation. Hans Richter calls me now a musical fool, because I did not want to make enough cuts (as he puts it). And, of course, he does not perform anything at all; I stand alone at the moment. I hope that things will be better for you and that you will soon succeed then you will surely not forget me. Good luck! Your A. Bruckner Vienna, November 13, 1883 Bruckner, ALS, 27.II.1885 Hochgeborener Herr Baron! Schon wieder muß ich zur Last fallen. Da die Sinfonie am 10. März aufgeführt wird, so komme ich schon Sonntag den 8. März früh nach München und werde wieder bei den vier Jahreszeiten Quartier nehmen.

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.

  • Kalendár Výročí
    Č KALENDÁR VÝROČÍ 2010 H U D B A Zostavila Mgr. Dana Drličková Bratislava 2009 Pouţité skratky: n. = narodil sa u. = umrel výr.n. = výročie narodenia výr.ú. = výročie úmrtia 3 Ú v o d 6.9.2007 oznámili svetové agentúry, ţe zomrel Luciano Pavarotti. A hudobný svet stŕpol… Muţ, ktorý sa narodil ako syn pekára a zomrel ako hudobná superstar. Muţ, ktorého svetová popularita nepramenila len z jeho výnimočného tenoru, za ktorý si vyslúţil označenie „kráľ vysokého cé“. Jeho zásluhou sa opera ako okrajový ţáner predrala do povedomia miliónov poslucháčov. Exkluzívny svet klasickej hudby priblíţil širokému publiku vystúpeniami v športových halách, účinkovaním s osobnosťami popmusik, či rocku a charitatívnymi koncertami. Spieval takmer výhradne taliansky repertoár, debutoval roku 1961 v úlohe Rudolfa v Pucciniho Bohéme na scéne Teatro Municipal v Reggio Emilia. Jeho ľudská tvár otvárala srdcia poslucháčov: bol milovníkom dobrého jedla, futbalu, koní, pekného oblečenia a tieţ obstojný maliar. Bol poverčivý – musel mať na vystú- peniach vţdy bielu vreckovku v ruke a zahnutý klinec vo vrecku. V nastupujúcom roku by sa bol doţil 75. narodenín. Luciano Pavarotti patrí medzi najväčších tenoristov všetkých čias a je jednou z mnohých osobností, ktorých výročia si budeme v roku 2010 pripomínať. Nedá sa v úvode venovať detailnejšie ţiadnemu z nich, to ani nie je cieľom tejto publikácie. Ţivoty mnohých pripomínajú román, ľudské vlastnosti snúbiace sa s géniom talentu, nie vţdy v ideálnom pomere. Ale to je uţ úlohou muzikológov, či licenciou spisovateľov, spracovať osudy osobností hudby aj z tých, zdanlivo odvrátených stránok pohľadu ... V predkladanom Kalendári výročí uţ tradične upozorňujeme na výročia narodenia či úmrtia hudobných osobností : hudobných skladateľov, dirigentov, interprétov, teoretikov, pedagógov, muzikológov, nástrojárov, folkloristov a ďalších.

  • Nietzsche, Debussy, and the Shadow of Wagner
    NIETZSCHE, DEBUSSY, AND THE SHADOW OF WAGNER A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Tekla B. Babyak May 2014 ©2014 Tekla B. Babyak ii ABSTRACT NIETZSCHE, DEBUSSY, AND THE SHADOW OF WAGNER Tekla B. Babyak, Ph.D. Cornell University 2014 Debussy was an ardent nationalist who sought to purge all German (especially Wagnerian) stylistic features from his music. He claimed that he wanted his music to express his French identity. Much of his music, however, is saturated with markers of exoticism. My dissertation explores the relationship between his interest in musical exoticism and his anti-Wagnerian nationalism. I argue that he used exotic markers as a nationalistic reaction against Wagner. He perceived these markers as symbols of French identity. By the time that he started writing exotic music, in the 1890’s, exoticism was a deeply entrenched tradition in French musical culture. Many 19th-century French composers, including Felicien David, Bizet, Massenet, and Saint-Saëns, founded this tradition of musical exoticism and established a lexicon of exotic markers, such as modality, static harmonies, descending chromatic lines and pentatonicism. Through incorporating these markers into his musical style, Debussy gives his music a French nationalistic stamp. I argue that the German philosopher Nietzsche shaped Debussy’s nationalistic attitude toward musical exoticism. In 1888, Nietzsche asserted that Bizet’s musical exoticism was an effective antidote to Wagner. Nietzsche wrote that music should be “Mediterranized,” a dictum that became extremely famous in fin-de-siècle France.

  • Bibliographic Essay for Alex Ross's Wagnerism: Art and Politics in The
    Bibliographic Essay for Alex Ross’s Wagnerism: Art and Politics in the Shadow of Music The notes in the printed text of Wagnerism give sources for material quoted in the book and cite the important primary and secondary literature on which I drew. From those notes, I have assembled an alphabetized bibliography of works cited. However, my reading and research went well beyond the literature catalogued in the notes, and in the following essay I hope to give as complete an accounting of my research as I can manage. Perhaps the document will be of use to scholars doing further work on the phenomenon of Wagnerism. As I indicate in my introduction and acknowledgments, I am tremendously grateful to those who have gone before me; a not inconsiderable number of them volunteered personal assistance as I worked. Wagner has been the subject of thousands of books—although the often-quoted claim that more has been written about him than anyone except Christ or Napoleon is one of many indestructible Wagner myths. (Barry Millington, long established one of the leading Wagner commentators in English, disposes of it briskly in an essay on “Myths and Legends” in his Wagner Compendium, published by Schirmer in 1992.) Nonetheless, the literature is vast, and since Wagner himself is not the central focus of my book I won’t attempt any sort of broad survey here. I will, however, indicate the major works that guided me in assembling the piecemeal portrait of Wagner that emerges in my book. The most extensive biography, though by no means the most trustworthy, is the six- volume, thirty-one-hundred-page life by the Wagner idolater Carl Friedrich Glasenapp (Breitkopf und Härtel, 1894–1911).
