  • Toccata Classics TOCC 0125 Notes
    P ERNEST KRENEK: MUSIC FOR CHAMBER ORCHESTRA by Peter Tregear The Austrian-born composer Ernst Krenek (1900–91) has been described, with good reason, as a compositional ‘companion of the twentieth century’.1 Stretching over seventy years of productive life, his musical legacy encompasses most of the common forms of modern western art music, from string quartets and symphonies to opera and electronic music. Moreover, it engages with many of the key artistic movements of the day – from late Romanticism and Neo- classicism to abstract Expressionism and Post-modernism. The sheer scope of his music seems to reflect something profound about the condition of his turbulent times. The origins of Krenek’s extraordinary artistic disposition are to be found in the equally extraordinary circumstances into which he was born. He came to maturity in Vienna in the dying days of the First World War and the Austro-Hungarian Empire and, with its collapse in 1919, the cultural norms that had nurtured Vienna’s enviable musical reputation all but disappeared. In addition, by this time, new forms of transmission of mass culture, such as the wireless, gramophone and cinema, were transforming the ways and means by which cultural life could be both propagated and received. As an artist trying to come to terms with these changes, Krenek was doubly fortunate. Not only was he generally recognised as one of the most gifted composers of his generation; he was also an insightful thinker about music and its role in society. Right from the moment in 1921 when, in the face of growing tension between himself and his composition teacher Franz Schreker, he set out on a full-time career as a composer, he determined that he would be more than just as a passive reflector of the world around him; he would be both its witness and conscience.

  • Ernst Křenek's Second Piano Sonata the Embodiment of His Stabilization
    Ernst Křenek’s Second Piano Sonata The Embodiment of his Stabilization Period by Andrew Ramos B.M., University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, 2013 M.M., University of Colorado at Boulder, 2015 A thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Colorado in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Musical Arts College of Music 2018 Abstract Ramos, Andrew (D.M.A., College of Music) Ernst Křenek’s Second Piano Sonata: The Embodiment of his Stabilization Period Thesis directed by Dr. Andrew Cooperstock Ernst Křenek (1900-1991) was an Austrian composer. He resided in various places throughout Europe, until he emigrated to the United States in 1938. In the U.S., he taught and lectured at various universities. Today, he is remembered for his association with The Second Viennese School. Krenek is also known for his completion of Schubert’s Reliquie piano sonata and his editing of movements of Mahler’s 10th symphony. Krenek’s views on music changed throughout his life. His long lifespan exposed him to a variety of musical perspectives. He grappled with ideas such as music’s function or “appropriate” aesthetics; at times he contradicted his own previously held beliefs. Krenek believed “systems come and systems go; since none is inherent in the material, composers select whatever system is needed to solve the problems presented by their expressive aims.”1 In the 1920s, Krenek had three stylistic shifts. From 1916 to 1921, he studied with Franz Schreker, a famous opera composer and teacher. Krenek’s music from this period used late- Romantic harmonic language.

  • Musical Theatre in the Weimar Republic
    Musical Theatre in the Weimar Republic DAVID DREW Chairman PROFESSOR SIR JACK WESTRUP (PRESIDENT ) THE WEIMAR REPUBLIC was the outcome of the German R evolution of rgr8-rg, and the consequent abdication of the Kaiser. It was named after the city in which the first post-war parliament assembled. The choice of Goethe's home town was, of course, intended to have symbolic significance. On the one hand it implied a rejection of the Prussian militarist tradition centred on Berlin, while on the other it was a means of indicating a return to the values of German classical humanism. A corollary to this first session of a democratically elected parliament was the foundation in the same city of the great Bauhaus school. At least in theory, a link was established between constitutional and cultural life. There are certain dangers in symbols of this kind, however. When the situation deteriorates, the symbol is still there to emphasise the fact. Thus it was manifestly symptomatic that before long the government was back in Berlin, and that within four years the Bauhaus had been forced out of Weimar by a reactionary local government. The Weimar Republic was an experiment in importing Western democracy to a country that had no real democratic tradition; and as we know, the experiment ended in disaster. Nonetheless, the period we have to consider-rg20-1 933- was one in which the machinery of democracy was to some extent the motive force of the society. It worked only fitfully, and against the most powerful oppositions. Still, it was there, and for all progressive-minded artists it was something to be lovingly protected.
