  • The Pedagogical Legacy of Johann Nepomuk Hummel
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: THE PEDAGOGICAL LEGACY OF JOHANN NEPOMUK HUMMEL. Jarl Olaf Hulbert, Doctor of Philosophy, 2006 Directed By: Professor Shelley G. Davis School of Music, Division of Musicology & Ethnomusicology Johann Nepomuk Hummel (1778-1837), a student of Mozart and Haydn, and colleague of Beethoven, made a spectacular ascent from child-prodigy to pianist- superstar. A composer with considerable output, he garnered enormous recognition as piano virtuoso and teacher. Acclaimed for his dazzling, beautifully clean, and elegant legato playing, his superb pedagogical skills made him a much sought after and highly paid teacher. This dissertation examines Hummel’s eminent role as piano pedagogue reassessing his legacy. Furthering previous research (e.g. Karl Benyovszky, Marion Barnum, Joel Sachs) with newly consulted archival material, this study focuses on the impact of Hummel on his students. Part One deals with Hummel’s biography and his seminal piano treatise, Ausführliche theoretisch-practische Anweisung zum Piano- Forte-Spiel, vom ersten Elementar-Unterrichte an, bis zur vollkommensten Ausbildung, 1828 (published in German, English, French, and Italian). Part Two discusses Hummel, the pedagogue; the impact on his star-students, notably Adolph Henselt, Ferdinand Hiller, and Sigismond Thalberg; his influence on musicians such as Chopin and Mendelssohn; and the spreading of his method throughout Europe and the US. Part Three deals with the precipitous decline of Hummel’s reputation, particularly after severe attacks by Robert Schumann. His recent resurgence as a musician of note is exemplified in a case study of the changes in the appreciation of the Septet in D Minor, one of Hummel’s most celebrated compositions.

  • Ferdinand Praeger, Esq., Wagner and Liszt
    APRIL 2, 1888. FERDINAND PRAEGER, ESQ., IN THE CHAIR. WAGNER AND LISZT CORRESPONDENCE. By J. S. SHEDLOCK, B.A. THERE is a great charm about private letters. When one friend writes to another, he expresses his thoughts as freely as if he were talking with him. There is no fear as to what the world will say. Men write letters to newspapers, and many such are perfectly honest letters, yet the writers have to be cautious, and often the reader has to look between the lines. But in private letters—especially between two men who thoroughly understand and sympathise with each other —there is no need of restraint. They say what they have to say in plain, unvarnished language. Everything is au naturel. Private letters of great men are of inestimable advantage to writers of biography: from them portraits true to the life can be drawn. They are of value to historians who seek to know the hidden causes of things. They are of value to friends and relations, who treasure up every line written by one whom they respect or admire. But viewed in another light, the giving of private letters to the world may be considered a disadvantage. They may be used for party purposes. In a correspondence of twenty years—such -as the one before us—men are apt to show many sides of their character; and it is easy to pick and choose so as to present a man either all that is great and noble, or the reverse. Again, they may fall into the hands of careless readers, readers who will merely glance at a page here and there, and form most erroneous ideas.

  • Wagmer Neypmd Good and Evil
    36167_u01.qxd 1/7/08 4:06 PM Page 3 1. Wagner Lives Issues in Autobiography Wagner’s biography has been researched to within an inch of its life. It has been dissected, drenched with no end of detail, eroticized, vilified, heroi- cized, and several times filmed.1 Its foundations are the collected writings, which in the first instance Wagner edited himself in the spirit of an autobi- ographical enterprise;2 a separate and lengthy autobiography, Mein Leben (My life), dictated to his mistress and later second wife, Cosima, daughter of Franz Liszt;3 notebooks and diaries;4 photographs and portraits;5 an un- usually large number of letters;6 mounds of anecdotal gossip; and no end of documentation on the way he lived and how his contemporaries saw him.7 In this sense, he is almost the exact antithesis of Shakespeare, whose life, or at least what is safely known about it in terms of verifiable “facts,” can be told in a relatively short space. I have summarized the history of Wagner biography elsewhere.8 Here I want to look at Wagner’s own portrayals of his life, some issues they raise, the philosophical spirit in which I believe they were attempted, and their effect on the generation that came immediately after him. Biographers of Shakespeare have had to resort to imaginative recon- structions and not infrequently to knowingly forged documents that have accorded their subject more lives than a cat.9 In stark contrast, there appears to be only one life for Wagner, which he did his best to determine in large part himself.

  • 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).

  • Richard Wagner and Buddhism
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Richard Wagner and Buddhism Tristan and Isolde and The Victors Dorothea Watanabe Dauer Richard Wagner’s influence on the cultural developments of the nineteenth century was probably more profound and more diverse than that of any other artist of that period. Wagner became the object either of ardent enthusiasm or bitter contempt, and this has remained unchanged to this day. Again and again Wagnerians and anti-Wagnerians have confronted each other over the works of this great but controversial artist and thinker. Since World War II these confrontations have become more belligerent, and this alone may suffice to secure for Wagner’s works and ideas a recognition as long as interest in Western art and music, as we have known it, continues. The Renaissance focussed the cultural interests of the Western World almost exclusively on antiquity. Up to 1854 Wagner was no exception to this trend. However, he made a rigorous distinction between the world of Greece and the world of Rome, and had praise only for Greece and its ideal of the self-confident man. The young Wagner, until 1848, was an enthusiastic admirer of Feuerbach, Bakunin, Prudhomme and other March Revolutionaries. After the failure of the revolution and because of his participation in the movement that led to the so-called May Uprising, a warrant for the arrest of the former Hof-Kapellmeister at the Dresden Staatstheater was issued. With a passport bearing the name of a Professor Widmann,1 he fled to Zurich. At that time the thirty-six year old Wagner was firmly convinced of the need for a political reorganization of Germany, since he could also expect a comparable transformation in the arts 1 Guy de Pourtates, Richard Wagner, Mensch und Meister (Berlin: Th.

  • Richard Wagner on the Practice and Teaching of Singing
    Richard Wagner on the Practice and Teaching of Singing By Peter Bassett [A paper presented to the 8th International Congress of Voice Teachers on 13 July 2013.] Weber and Beethoven were still alive when Wagner was a teenager, and their long shadows, together with those of Mozart and Marschner fell on all his early projects. His first completed opera Die Feen, composed in 1833 when he was just twenty years old, was never performed in his lifetime but, even if it had been, it wouldn’t have sounded as good as it does in the best recorded versions we know today. The type of singing familiar to Wagner was far from ideal, and many German singers of his era were poorly trained and had unsophisticated techniques. His sternest critic, Eduard Hanslick had something to say on the difference between German and Italian singers at that time: ‘With the Italians’ he said, ‘great certainty and evenness throughout the role; with the Germans an unequal alternation of brilliant and mediocre moments, which seems partly accidental.’ Wagner had to entrust his major roles to inadequately trained singers in many cases, which must have been challenging to say the least. He worked hard to improve matters, pouring much time and energy into the preparation of performances. ‘I do not care in the slightest’ he once said, ‘whether my works are performed. What I do care about is that they are performed as I intended them to be. Anyone who cannot, or will not, do so, had better leave them alone.’ David Breckbill has written that ‘The differences between the singing which Wagner knew and that which we hear today are considerable.

  • Degenerate Religion and Masculinity in Parsifal Reception
    Degenerate Religion and Masculinity in Parsifal Reception James Kennaway Our future historians will cull from still unpublished letters and memoirs ... the idea that the performances at Bayreuth had really much the status of religious rites and that their effects were not unlike what is technically called a revival. -Vernon Lee (1911: 875) The idea that there is something religious about Bayreuth is not new, and goes well beyond cliches about opera houses as the "cathedrals of the bourgeoisie:' The words used to describe the festival by Wagnerians and anti -Wagnerians alike have often been consciously religious. One makes a pilgrimage to the holy site, there are acolytes who serve the holy work and the orthodoxy, her­ etics are excommunicated-the comparisons are all too obvious. Friedrich Nietzsche referred to this phenomenon in a letter to his friend Malwida von Meysenburg when he suggested that "all this Wagnerizing" was "an unconscious emulation of Rome" (Fischer-Dieskau 1974:202). Even in more recent times, after the moral, ideological, and organizational disasters that the festival was caught up in during the twentieth century, the skies above the Festspielhaus were scoured for signs of the white smoke announcing which member of the dysfunctional clan was to succeed the composer's grandson Wolfgang Wagner. If this musical Vatican has a central rite, it is surely Parsifal.
