  • A Bruckner Odyssey: the Ninth Symphony Sir Simon Rattle Talks
    A Bruckner Odyssey: The Ninth Symphony Sir Simon Rattle talks about the four movement version © Aart van der Wal, June 2012 Last month EMI Classics released their CD with Bruckner's Ninth Symphony in the four movement version, a live recording by the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Sir Simon Rattle. Early June, Simon Rattle was here, in Rotterdam, on a European tour with the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment and French pianist Pierre-Laurent Aimard. He conducted a programme with music by exclusively French impressionists (Fauré, Ravel and Debussy). Very early in the morning, on the day after the concert I met him in his hotel to talk about his Bruckner recording. (Click also here: Anton Bruckner: Symphony No 9 EMI Classics 9 52969 2 (CD) in D minor WAB 109 - The unfinished Finale) (Also available in SACD format) Live-recording, 7th-9th February 2012, Philharmonie, Berlin Obsession "The first thing I noticed when studying this Bruckner Ninth finale were those strange transition passages you can find in any typical Bruckner finale. But here, in the Ninth, I strongly felt as if Bruckner was obsessed with the last things in life, or maybe even the very last thing he could possibly hold onto this. As if he was thinking that when he could hold onto this, work on this, he could find his way out of this obsession. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that Bruckner was going through an existential crisis within himself. However, there is also no doubt that he was dealing with a compositional crisis, as many composers do, also composers who are writing finales for their symphonies.

  • BERTHOLD GOLDSCHMIDT (Hamburg 1903 - London 1996)
    SYMPOSIUM RECORDS CD 1234 BERTHOLD GOLDSCHMIDT (Hamburg 1903 - London 1996) Berthold Goldschmidt's father, a successful merchant, encouraged his interest in music by buying tickets for him for significant musical events in and around Hamburg. From 1922 to 1924 he studied composition under Franz Schreker in Berlin; the class included Jascha Horenstein and Ernst Krenek. As assistant to the celebrated conductor Erich Kleiber he participated in the world première of Berg’s Wozzeck in December 1925. He built an enviable early reputation as composer and conductor, notably with his opera Der gewaltige Hahnrei produced at Mannheim in 1932, and from conducting invitations, including one from the Leningrad Philharmonic Orchestra. The arrival of the Nazis stopped his career abruptly. By 1935 it was clear that he must leave. In October he travelled via Harwich to London and soon found the basement flat in Hampstead, 13B, Belsize Lane, where he spent the rest of his life. The BBC system of an anonymous panel to read and decide the fate of scores submitted to it came as a shock to him. None of his music was accepted until his short overture A Comedy of Errors was broadcast in 1946. Even this was in a European Service programme of music by German émigré composers. Eighteen months later a similar broadcast followed when the suite from his ballet Chronica was also broadcast to Europe. In fact, apart from commissioned incidental music to BBC dramatic productions, he did not enjoy a broadcast of his music in the United Kingdom until 1953, and his works were only very gradually considered sympathetically by the BBC Reading Panel.

Except for Brahms' Fourth, my symphonic knowledge stopped at Beethoven, Schubert and Mendelssohn. I remember how I thrilled at the glorious, rich sounds, and up to a point that concert has Influenced the way in which I listen to Bruckner's music.

  • The First Movements of Bruckner's Third, Sixth and Seventh Symphonies
    THE FIRST MOVEMENTS OF BRUCKNER’S THIRD, SIXTH AND SEVENTH SYMPHONIES: A MOMENT-BY-MOMENT APPROACH TO FORM by NICHOLAS ROBERT STEINWAND A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Music) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) August 2015 © Nicholas Robert Steinwand, 2015 Abstract To date, there has been mixed success in explaining Bruckner’s idiosyncratic style, and new methods are needed to explore his compositional techniques. This dissertation proposes an alternative way of studying the music, by examining the small, moment-to- moment gestures and changes in three first movements from his symphonies. The primary focus is on Bruckner’s manipulation of individual motivic, rhythmic, textural, and harmonic elements that create continuous shifts of tensions at the small-scale level, which sustain the expressive impact of the music. Instead of the teleology of traditional sonata form, these individual moments combine to create an overall dynamic flow in a larger, coherent structure described by Ernst Kurth’s theory of symphonic waves. Additionally, the phrase numbers Bruckner inserted in the autograph scores provide evidence of his organizational intentions. Of the works examined, the first movement of the Third Symphony (chapter 2) comes closest to a standard sonata form, but still displays Bruckner’s unique voice. The movement does not follow Hegelian conceptions common to symphonies by composers like Beethoven, but rather unfolds according to its own devices; the rhetoric is instead one of ebb and flow. The Seventh Symphony (chapter 3) moves further away from sonata form, with the tonal shifts in the first movement not creating drama as typically expected.

  • Meaning in the Motives: an Analysis of the Leitmotifs of Wagner's Ring
    Brian Carter Weinstock, MUS 376J Fall, 2002 Meaning in the Motives: an Analysis of the Leitmotifs of Wagner’s Ring Among the many great developments in opera fostered by Richard Wagner, none is more challenging than the leitmotif. These small, distinctive snatches of music, often no more than one or two measures long, are the bricks with which Wagner built his operas, including the massive sixteen-hour cycle Der Ring des Niblungen. By establishing and subsequently layering these motives, Wagner devised a way for the listener to recall certain characters or plot points. Furthermore, Wagner directly commented on the action in the opera through the use of his leitmotifs. One method of commentary was to show characters’ hidden intentions and thoughts by juxtaposing two or three motives at the same time in both the vocal lines and in the orchestra. But what do the leitmotifs actually contain? How are they constructed? How are they able to convey so much powerful emotion in so very few notes? In this paper, I will examine some of the key leitmotifs from Wagner’s Der Ring des Niblungen in order to more deeply understand Wagner’s intent, and how Wagner is able to be so effective in their communication. In performing my analysis, I turned to one of the great Wagnerian scholars—Deryck Cooke. In addition to his landmark analyses of Das Rheingold and Die Walküre in I Saw the World End, Cooke is also the author of an influential book on musical analysis called The Language of Music. In this book, Cooke argues that tonal music is literally a language of the emotions; the emotions conveyed being those of the composer.

  • Program Book for the 1995 Mahler Festival (Mahlerfeest) Started to Compile a in Amsterdam
    Colorado MahlerFest Mahler was the first composer to shatter the fin-de-siBcle intellectual tradition of bland rationality and blind optimism. His vision of the world, so clearly mirrored in his works, reflected the problems of life, of love, of achievement and failure, of happiness and fame from the viewpoint of death. Predictably, audiences then were utterly perplexed by both the emotional honesty and emotional complexity of this approach. However, today's generation of listeners finds itself increasingly in accord with a composer who does not spare them the trouble of stretching their emotional range. TheAmerican critic David Hall eloquenfly summarized the whole history of public reaction to Mahler: "For the audiences of Mahler's own day, and perhaps even for those between the two world wars, his musical message was too strong a dose of bitter medicine. ... Today, what were once Mahler's private anxieties and aspirations ... now find an echo in the experiences of many hundreds of thousands. They are those for whom the circumstances of war, of overdeveloped technology and underdeveloped humanity, ... have posed the hard core questions of faith in human destiny that Mahler, as a solitary individual, tried to answer. Now that his problems have, in a sense, become common to all of us, his music has begun to find a home throughout the world." His music may reach contemporary ears, but contemporary budgets do not promote frequent performances of the great symphonies of Mahler, other than the popular First and Fourth Symphonies. Complete works for hundred piece orchestras and multiple choirs, lasting nearly two hours and demanding extraordinary performance skills still find only periodic inclusion in orchestra seasons, and then only with major, professional orchestras.
