WEYMANN & SON 1010 CHESTNUT STREET - PHILADELPHIA, PA. ; Symphonic BurlEske after Wilhelm Busch's "Max und Moritz. " Joseph Gustav Mraczek (Born at Briinn, March 12, 1878; now living there.) Mraczek began his musical studies with his father, a violoncellist at the Stadt Theatre in Briinn. He completed them at the Vienna Conservatory. - Trained as a violinist, he made concert tours, then settled in Briinn as a concert-master, and began to compose. The list of his works includes an opera, "Der glaserne Pantoffel," produced at Briinn in 1902; an opera, "Der Traum" (Berlin, 1912); music to the drama "Kismet"; a pianoforte quintet in E-flat major; Nocturne for violin and pianoforte ; Three Pieces in Dance Form for pianoforte smaller pianoforte pieces and songs. He established a string quartet in Briinn, and now teaches in the music school of the Briinn Musikverein and in the newer Conservatory of Music. The Symphonic Burleske was first performed at a concert given toward the end of 191 1 by the Briinn Musikverein. The Philharmonic Orchestra of Berlin, led by Mr. Nikisch, performed it on January 20, 1913. The first performances in America were at a concert of the Theodore Thomas Orchestra (now the Chicago Orchestra) at Chicago, December 20-21, 191 2. There were second performances in Chicago on January 24 and 25, 19 13. The Burleske, dedicated "with the utmost respect" to Dr. Richard Strauss, was published in 191 2. It is scored for piccolo, three flutes (one interchangeable with piccolo), two oboes, English horn, two clarinets, bass clarinet, three bassoons, double-bassoon, six horns, four trumpets, three trombones, bass tuba, kettledrums, side-drum, bass drum, cymbals, triangle, Glockenspiel, castanets, harp, celesta, concert grand pianoforte (with the lid raised), sixteen first violins, sixteen second VOCAL STUDIO AND OPERA SCHOOL (Italian Method) KARL SCHNEIDER (Pupil of Luigi Vannuccini, Florence. Italy.) OCTOBER TO MAY MAY TO OCTOBER 1705 Chestnut St., Philadelphia 9 Friedrich Str., Muenchen, Germany The Summer School in Muenchen is preceded by a two weeks' study trip through Italy. The Summer School offers instruction in Voice Culture, Grand Opera, Piano, German, Italian and Art. The traveling party will be personally conducted by Mr. Schneider, and Mrs. SchDeider will act as chaperon.

Mraczek based his Burleske on the well-known volume of humorous sketches for children by Wilhelm Busch, which was first published in the early sixties. Busch, born at Widensahl in Hanover, April 15, 1832, began to contribute to the Fliegende Blatter of Munich in 1859. His sketches soon brought him fame, and in his later years his satirical books increased his reputation. As in the book, so in the music. There is a short prologue; there are seven movements, each picturing in music a prank of the mis- chievous boys; there is an epilogue. Prologue: The boys are introduced, young rascals, the terror of the neighborhood. The prologue begins with the "high spirits" theme for wood-wind instruments, celesta, and pianoforte. Uber- mutig, F major, 2-4. There is a vigorously striding counter-theme, and other motives are used in the short development, which ends in a rapid chromatic run. There is a pause. Prank I. The scene is the hen-yard of the Widow Bolte. Her theme, Andante moderato, E major, 3-2, is given to horns and divided violoncellos, while wood-wind instruments imitate the young cock and hens. The boys tie crusts of bread to the ends of pieces of thin strings. The cock and each one of the three hens swallow a crust. They flop about in sore distress. The string catches on the bough of a tree, and they are hanged. The widow rushes out, mourns, cuts them down, and carries them into the house. The Max and Moritz theme enters in augmentation, and Widow Bolte's motive is heard fortissimo in wood-wind and brass. Prank II. A clarinet sings the widow's grief. She determines to eat her pets. Weeping, she puts them into a frying-pan and on the stove. The boys make their way to the roof, and pull the fowls up the chimney with the aid of a fish-pole and line. When the widow finds the pan empty, she beats her dog, for he surely was guilty. A glissando of harp, celesta, and pianoforte represents the ascent of the fowls up the chimney. The boys eat the chickens, and, stuffed, fall asleep. A wild bacchanal ends in an imitation of snoring.

  • Page 1 (1/31/20) Waltz in E-Flat Major, Op. 19 FRÉDÉRIC CHOPIN
    Page 1 (1/31/20) Waltz in E-flat major, Op. 19 FRÉDÉRIC CHOPIN (1810-1849) Composed in 1831. Chopin’s Waltz in E-flat major, Op. 18, his first published specimen of the genre and one of his most beloved, was composed in 1831, when he was living anxiously in Vienna, almost unknown as a composer and only slightly appreciated as a pianist. In 1834, he sold it to the Parisian publisher Pleyel to finance his trip with Ferdinand Hiller to the Lower Rhineland Music Festival at Aachen, where Hiller introduced him to his long-time friend Felix Mendelssohn. The piece was dedicated upon its publication to Mlle. Laura Horsford, one of two sisters Chopin then counted among his aristocratic pupils. (Sister Emma had received the dedication of the Variations on “Je vends des scapulaires” from Hérold’s Ludovic, Op. 12 the year before.) The Waltz in E-flat follows the characteristic Viennese form of a continuous series of sixteen- measure strains filled with both new and repeated melodies that are capped by a vigorous coda. Ballade No. 1 in G minor, Op. 23 FRÉDÉRIC CHOPIN Composed 1831. In the Ballades, “Chopin reaches his full stature as the unapproachable genius of the pianoforte,” according to Arthur Hedley, “a master of rich and subtle harmony and, above all, a poet — one of those whose vision transcends the confines of nation and epoch, and whose mission it is to share with the world some of the beauty that is revealed to them alone.” Though the Ballades came to form a nicely cohesive set unified by their temporal scale, structural fluidity and supranational idiom, Chopin composed them over a period of more than a decade.

  • Liszt and Christus: Reactionary Romanticism
    LISZT AND CHRISTUS: REACTIONARY ROMANTICISM A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Robert Pegg May 2020 Examining Committee Members: Dr. Maurice Wright, Advisory Chair, Music Studies Dr. Michael Klein, Music Studies Dr. Paul Rardin, Choral Activities Dr. Christine Anderson, Voice and Opera, external member © Copyright 2020 by Robert Pegg All Rights Reserved € ii ABSTRACT This dissertation seeks to examine the historical context of Franz Lizt’s oratorio Christus and explore its obscurity. Chapter 1 makes note of the much greater familiarity of other choral works of the Romantic period, and observes critics’ and scholars’ recognition (or lack thereof) of Liszt’s religiosity. Chapter 2 discusses Liszt’s father Adam, his religious and musical experiences, and his influence on the young Franz. Chapter 3 explores Liszt’s early adulthood in Paris, particularly with respect to his intellectual growth. Special attention is given to François-René, vicomte de Chateaubriand and the Abbé Félicité de Lamennais, and the latter’s papal condemnation. After Chapter 4 briefly chronicles Liszt’s artistic achievements in Weimar and its ramifications for the rest of his work, Chapter 5 examines theological trends in the nineteenth century, as exemplified by David Friedrich Strauss, and the Catholic Church’s rejection of such novelties. The writings of Charles Rosen aid in decribing the possible musical ramifications of modern theology. Chapter 6 takes stock of the movements for renewal in Catholic music, especially the work of Prosper Gueranger and his fellow Benedictine monks of Solesmes, France, and of the Society of Saint Cecilia in Germany.

His own life is to be found in his music." (Robert Schumann 19.4) Even the birth of Franz Liszt was one of duality - he was a child of the borderline between Austria and Hungary. His birthplace, even though near Vienna, was on the confines of the civilized world and not far removed from the dominions of the Turk.
