(480; ; Felix Mottl was born in Vienna in 1856. He had a fine soprano voice, as a boy, and was admitted to the Lowenburgische Convikt, the pre- paratory school for the Imperial Court Chapel. He afterwards entered the Vienna Conservatorium, where he awakened the admiration of Josef Hellmesberger, and carried off all the prizes. The Akademische Richard Wagner Verein of Vienna elected him conductor at its concerts, and it was thus that his rare ability as an orchestral conductor won general recogni- tion. He took part in the Bayreuth performances of Wagner's Ring der Nibelungen in 1876 as stage conductor, and became one of the most promi- nent members of the so-called Nibelungen Kanzlei. On DessofFs recom- mendation, he was appointed conductor at the Grand Ducal Opera in Karlsruhe, which post he held for many years. It was here that he con- ducted the first complete performance on any stage of Berlioz's Les Troyens — both operas in their original shape : la Prise de Troie and les Troyens d Carthage — in 1890. In 1886 he had already conducted festival performances of Wagner's Tristan at Bayreuth. Mottl is generally recog- nized as one of the most famous orchestral conductors of the present day as a composer he is little known, though an opera of his, Agnes Bernauer, was successfully produced at Weimar in 1880. Fantasia in F minor, Opus 103 Franz Schubert. (Scored for Orchestra by Felix Mottl.) This fantasia was originally written for pianoforte for four hands ; the date of its composition is not known. Mottl's orchestral version, played at this concert, may be analyzed as follows : The composition begins, Allegro molto moderato in F minor (4-4 time), ATomc FOR BRAIN-WORKERS, THE WEAK AND DEBILITATED. Horsford's Acid Phosphate Is, without exception, the Best Remedy for relieving Mental and Nervous Exhaustion ; and, where the system has become debilitated by disease, it acts as a general tonic and vitalizer, affording sustenance to both brain and body. Dr. E. Cornell Easten, Philadelphia, Pa., says, " I have met with the greatest and most satisfactory results in dyspepsia and general derangement of the cerebral and nervous systems, causing debility and exhaustion."

This dainty theme is then taken up by the flute and oboe in octaves, over a similar accompaniment, the development being some- what more extended. Soon the first violins and flute take up the theme and lead over to the entrance of a more energetic first subsidiary, still in F minor, given out forte by all the strings, accompanied by the wood-wind, horns, trumpets, and kettle-drums. This subsidiary is then briefly developed with some contrapuntal elaboration, a canonical response to it from the trumpets being particularly noteworthy. Soon the first theme returns in the clarinet, in D-flat minor, followed by a return of the subsidiary in A minor. Again the first theme comes back in the tonic, F minor, in the flute over an accompaniment in the strings and harp, leading to the entrance and concise development of a more cantabile second theme in F major, con- trapuntally treated in the strings, wood-wind, and horns. So far the form, though perfectly free in reality, has at least suggested that of the sonata ; but now the development of the movement meets with a sudden check. A short transition-passage leads over to another movement, Largo maestoso in F-sharp minor (4-4 time), in which two new themes, the one stern and stately, the other more cantabile and expressive, are contrapuntally worked up with no little elaboration. This movement, save for Mottl's very modern orchestration, has much of the character of the stately Grave movements in the old overtures of Lully's and Handel's time. It is immediately followed by an Allegro vivace in F-sharp minor (3-4 time), which is essentially an extendedly developed scherzo with trio rn D major. The scherzo form is here perfectly exemplified. After the return of the scherzo — after the trio — comes a brilliant and resounding modulation back to the original F minor, leading, after a brief pause in the entire orchestra, to a return of the first theme of the first movement, in the clari- New England Conservator]] of music FOUNDED IN 1853 BY DR.

The development of the movement, interrupted by the interpolation of the Largo maestoso and the tricksy scherzo, now proceeds ; the thematic material is the same as before, but the development and working-out far more elaborate and extended. At last, after a rushing climax, the first theme reappears in the clarinet, as at first, and a very brief coda brings the composition to a pianissimo close. This idea of Schubert's — of an interrupted first movement doing duty, so to speak, for both first movement and finale in a form based upon the general lines of the sonata — has been imitated since by some modern concerto writers. Mottl has scored this fantasia for i piccolo-flute, 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 2 trumpets, 3 trombones, 1 pair of kettle- drums, triangle, harp, and the usual strings.

  • Ferdinand Weinschenk (1831-1910), Pivotal Figure in German Trumpet History
    10 HISTORIC BRASS SOCIETY JOURNAL FERDINAND WEINSCHENK (1831-1910), PIVOTAL FIGURE IN GERMAN TRUMPET HISTORY EDWARD H. TARR During research for my study, East Meets West,1 I spent a year and a half systematically reading through nineteenth-century German music periodicals. My original hope was to discover information about Russian trumpeters, or about Western trumpeters active in Russia, such as Oskar Böhme, Willy Brandt, Eduard Seifert, and Wilhelm Wurm. Although my reading did reveal a certain amount of information concerning these fi gures, it yielded a surprising amount about Seifert’s teacher, (Christian) Ferdinand Weinschenk, who also has the distinction of having been the dedicatee of Böhme’s Trumpet Concerto, Op. 11, in 1899. (Seifert, who lived from 1870 to 1965, was the famed principal trumpeter of the Dresden Königlich-Musikalische Kapelle, later Staatskapelle. He graduated from the Leipzig Conservatory nearly three years before Oskar Böhme entered, playing W. Herfurth’s Concer- tino in E on his graduation recital on 30 January 1894. Böhme attended the Conservatory for a yearf as a composition student, between 2 November 1896 and 1 December 1897.)2 Weinschenk is a pivotal fi gure in German trumpet history because he was not only a noted orchestral performer, with a special talent for performing the high trumpet parts of Bach and Handel, but also a highly successful teacher, many of whose students went on to oc- cupy important positions in European and even American orchestras. Christian Ferdinand Weinschenk was born on 4 November 1831 in Ritteburg (Saxony) and entered the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra (the correct title of which at that time was actually Municipal Orchestra = Stadtorchester) on 1 JJulyuly 1861 as 2nd trtrumpeter,umpeter, advadvancingancing to 1st on 1 October 1867; from 1 September 1864 he was also the treasurer (Fiskal) of the orchestra’s pension institute.3 Thirty years later, when the noted conductor Arthur Nikisch (1855-1922) took over from his predecessor Dr.

In den ersten Maitagen hörte ich auch an anderen Stellen diesen Ruf, ohne den Pirol zu Gesicht zu bekommen, bis es mir endlich gelungen ist, am 13. Mai am Ost­ rand des Tschabbachtales südlich von Tatzmannsdorf ein Pirolpaar längere Zeit zu beobachten. Daraufhin ist es mir noch ein paar Mal geglückt, wenigstens die Männ­ chen zu sehen, und so möchte ich jetzt, wenn auch in erster Linie nach dem Gehör, mindestens zwölf Paare für das ganze Gebiet annehmen. Größere Wasserflächen fehlen im Gebiet völlig und damit natürlich auch die Enten und andere Wasservögel. Nur nahe bei Oberwart liegt eine Gruppe kleiner Teiche inmitten eines dichten Gebüsches. Von hier bezieht das Heilbad in Tatz­ mannsdorf die für die Packungen erforderliche Moorerde. In diesen Teichen leben reichlich. Gras- und Wasserfrösche sowie gelbfleckige Unken und Molche. Diese Lur­ che locken offenbar die Störche an. Aber sonst ist dieser Biotop vom Gebüsch und nicht von der Wasserfläche bestimmt. Was an Vögeln dieser Gegend solche Gebüsche aufsucht, ist auch hier zu finden; allen voran wieder Kohlmeisen und Goldammern. Außerdem fand ich sonst nirgends solche Mengen von Stieglitzen und Hänflin­ gen, von jeder Art gewiß 40 bis 50 Stück. Hänflinge habe ich übrigens sonst nur noch, etwa ein halbes Dutzend, bei Mariasdorf gesehen.

  • Operalexikon
    VÁRNAI PÉTER OPERALEXIKON Szaklektor: Meixner Mihály ELŐSZÓ E kötettel az első magyar operalexikont veszi kézhez az olvasó. A szerző - a maga mentségére is - hadd említse meg bevezetésként: milyen szempontok vezették az anyag összeállításában, mi az, amit az olvasó megtalál a kötetben és mi az, amit nem. A lexikon tartalmazza az operaénekesek adatait, amennyire hozzáférhetők voltak, a XVII. századtól napjainkig. Amennyiben hozzáférhetők voltak: az olvasó, sajnos, nem fogja megtalálni például jó néhány mai világsztár adatait, éppen, mert nem hozzáférhetők. Nem szerepelnek még a lexikonokban vagy más összefoglaló munkákban, s a hanglemezfelvételek kísérő- füzetei éppen adataikat hallgatják el. Az operaénekes ugyanis különös jelenség. Egy-egy énekes, vagy pláne énekesnő születési és debütálási adatai forrásmunkáról forrásmunkára változnak. Az életkor önkényes megváltoztatásához nem kell kommentár; a debütálás, az első színpadralépés legtöbbjüknél az első nagy szerepet jelenti, pedig vajmi kevés olyan énekes van, aki első színpadralépésekor Izoldát vagy Otellót énekelte volna. A lexikon szerzője azonban a forrásmunkákra kell, hogy hagyatkozzék. Ezért nem tehetett egyebet, mint hogy a különböző születési évszámok közül a legkorábbit, a debütálások közül pedig a legkisebb szerepet választotta. Így talán közel járt az igazsághoz. Ezekért a születési és debütálási adatokért azonban felelősséget nem vállalhat. A következő címszócsoport: maguk a művek. Az operairodalom közel négy évszázada alatt állítólag negyvenezer mű készült. Ebből a horribilis mennyiségből természetesen csak válo- gatni lehetett. Kiemelten szerepelnek a nemzetközi repertoár főművei. Tartalmi kivonatokat nem közlünk; az érdeklődőnek számos operakalauz áll rendelkezésére. A repertoárhoz tar- tozó, de nem mindenhol játszott művek esetében egy-egy mondatos utalás található a darab jelentőségére, esetleg cselekményére. Szerepelnek témakörönkénti összefoglaló címszavak, elsősorban a mitológia és a történelem területéről.

  • Katharina Klafsky Hat Sich Von Der Position Einer Weni- Ger Geachteten Chorsängerin Zu Einer Wagnersängerin Ersten Ranges Empor Gearbeitet
    Klafsky, Katharina (Ludwig Ordemann: Aus dem Leben und Wirken Kathari- na Klafsky, Hameln, Leipzig Fuendeling 1903, S. 3.) Profil Katharina Klafsky hat sich von der Position einer weni- ger geachteten Chorsängerin zu einer Wagnersängerin ersten Ranges empor gearbeitet. Auf dem Weg dorthin musste sie viele Rückschläge verkraften. Sie vervoll- kommnete dennoch ihre Stimme, überwand gesundheitli- che Schwächen und erlangte schließlich als Solo-Sänge- rin internationale Anerkennung. Sie galt in erster Linie als eine der großen Wagnersängerinnen ihrer Zeit. Orte und Länder Die künstlerischen Lebensmittelpunkte Katharina Klafs- kys waren zunächst Wien und Salzburg. Bedingt durch ih- re Eheschließung siedelte die Sängerin nach Leipzig um und wirkte am dortigen Stadttheater. Von Leipzig aus ging sie an die Opernbühnen in Bremen und später Ham- burg. Nicht nur im deutschsprachigen Raum reiste sie durch zahlreiche Städte, sondern auch in den Metropolen Euro- pas und in den USA zeigte sie ihr Können. Katharina Klafsky, Stich von August Weger Biografie Katharina Klafsky Katharina Klafsky wurde am 19. September 1855 in St. Ehename: Katharina Greve-Klafsky Johann (heute Jánossomorja, Ungarn) als Tochter eines Schuhmachers geboren. Im Alter von acht Jahren sang * 19.

Für eine Gesangs- † 22. September 1896 in Hamburg, Deutschland ausbildung fehlten die finanziellen Mittel. Als der Vater nach dem Tod der Mutter 1870 erneut heiratete, verließ Sängerin sie – erst 14 Jahre alt – die Familie. In Sopron (Oeden- burg) wirkte sie in Operetten mit, jedoch wurde ihre „Unbegrenzt, wie ihr Streben, war ihre Begabung als Sän- Stimme zu der Zeit als nicht ausreichend beurteilt.

  • SCANDINAVIAN SYMPHONIES from the 19Th Century to the Present
    SCANDINAVIAN SYMPHONIES From the 19th Century To the Present A Discography of CDs & LPs Prepared by Michael Herman Composers L-Z PETER ERASMUS LANGE-MÜLLER (1850-1926), DENMARK Born in Fredericksburg (suburb of Copenhagen). Ill-health only allowed him to study music formally for a brief period at the Copenhagen Conservatory, but his natural gifts, already displayed in childhood, allowed him to go on to a very productive musical career. He composed opera, orchestral, instrumental and especially vocal music. The incidental music he wrote for the play "Once Upon a Time" is his most popular work and a Danish musical icon. His other major orchestral works are a Violin Concerto and the suites: "In the Alhambra" and "Weyerburg." Symphony No. 1 in D minor, Op 17 "Autumn" (1879) Douglas Bostock/Chamber Philharmonic of Bohemia ( + Symphony No. 2) CLASSICO CLASSSCD 370 (2001) Symphony No. 2 in D minor, Op. 33 (1889, rev. 1915) Douglas Bostock/Chamber Philharmonic of Bohemia ( + Symphony No. 1) CLASSICO CLASSSCD 370 (2001) RUED LANGGAARD (1893-1952), DENMARK Born in Copenhagen, the son of composer Siegfried Langgaard (1852-1914). As a child he was taught the piano by both of his parents as well as the organ by Gustav Helsted. At the age of 12, he started to study music theory under C.F.E. Horneman and, later, Vilhelm Rosenberg and simultaneously gave recitals as an organist and began composing. Although a few of his major works were performed in his lifetime, he was basically considered an outsider by the Danish musical establishment. It is only now that his importance has been acknowledged and most of his important works including his opera "Antikrist" have been recorded.
