  • Viktor Ullmann – Projekt Forschung
    Das "Viktor Ullmann Projekt" "Zur Forschungsarbeit am künstlerischen Werk von Viktor Ullmann" von Herbert Gantschacher Der außergewöhnliche österreichisch-jüdische Musiker, Dirigent, Essayist, Musikkritiker, Dichter und Komponist Viktor Ullmann (1898-1944) wurde Zeuge des Kriegs mit Giftgas im Ersten Weltkrieg in der Nacht vom 23. auf den 24. Oktober 1917 in der zwölften und letzten Isonzoschlacht in der Nähe der Stadt Bovec / Plezzo / Flitsch durch den Gebrauch von Grünkreuz und Blaukreuz (basierend auf Zyanid). Im Zweiten Weltkrieg wurde Viktor Ullmann Opfer des Kriegs mit Gas im Vernichtungslager Ausschwitz ermordet in der Gaskammer mit Zyklon B (basierend auf Zyanid). Im Ersten Weltkrieg war Viktor Ullmann Soldat in der Funktion eines Artilleriebeobachters und Musikoffizier verantwortlich für die "Freizeitgestaltung" und die Unterhaltung der Soldaten und der Zivilbevölkerung. Während seiner Militärdienstzeit arbeitete Ullmann als Musikoffizier an 47 musikalischen Werken. Diese "Schule der Form" benutzte er als inhaftierter Künstler im Konzentrationslager von Theresienstadt im Studio für Neue Musik als Teil der "Freizeitgestaltung". In Theresienstadt schuf beziehungsweise vollendete Ullmann 22 Werke. Durch seine eigenen Kriegserfahrungen wurde Viktor Ullmann zum Kriegsgegner, dies hat seine künstlerische Arbeit wesentlich beeinflusst. Sein heute bekanntestes Werk, die Anti-Kriegsoper "Der Kaiser von Atlantis oder Die Todverweigerung" fußt auf seinen eigenen Kriegserfahrungen im Ersten Weltkrieg. Beginnend im Jahre 1917 im Ersten Weltkrieg vollendete er seine Anti-Kriegsoper im Jahre 1944 im Zweiten Weltkrieg im Konzentrationslager von Theresienstadt nach 27 Jahren Arbeit am Werk. Es braucht außerordentlichen Mut unter den Bedingungen eines Konzentrationslagers an einer Anti-Kriegsoper zu arbeiten. Das gesamte künstlerische Werk von Viktor Ullmann zählt heute zum gemeinsamen europäischen kulturellen Erbe und Gedächtnis.

  • CUL Keller Archive Catalogue
    HANS KELLER ARCHIVE: working copy A1: Unpublished manuscripts, 1940-49 A1/1: Unpublished manuscripts, 1940-49: independent work This section contains all Keller’s unpublished manuscripts dating from the 1940s, apart from those connected with his collaboration with Margaret Phillips (see A1/2 below). With the exception of one pocket diary from 1938, the Archive contains no material prior to his arrival in Britain at the end of that year. After his release from internment in 1941, Keller divided himself between musical and psychoanalytical studies. As a violinist, he gained the LRAM teacher’s diploma in April 1943, and was relatively active as an orchestral and chamber-music player. As a writer, however, his principal concern in the first half of the decade was not music, but psychoanalysis. Although the majority of the musical writings listed below are undated, those which are probably from this earlier period are all concerned with the psychology of music. Similarly, the short stories, poems and aphorisms show their author’s interest in psychology. Keller’s notes and reading-lists from this period indicate an exhaustive study of Freudian literature and, from his correspondence with Margaret Phillips, it appears that he did have thoughts of becoming a professional analyst. At he beginning of 1946, however, there was a decisive change in the focus of his work, when music began to replace psychology as his principal subject. It is possible that his first (accidental) hearing of Britten’s Peter Grimes played an important part in this change, and Britten’s music is the subject of several early articles.
