Abgefasst im Spanien des frühen 17. Jahrhunderts, das zu jener Zeit die Geschicke Europas wesentlich mitbestimmte, wurde der Roman bald zum Inbegriff der spanischen Literatur und Kultur. Von Madrid aus hat er auf den Rest Europas ausgestrahlt und Denker, Dichter, Künstler, Komponisten und später Tilmann Altenberg auch Filmemacher zur Auseinandersetzung mit ihm angeregt. Klaus Meyer-Minnemann (Hg.) Die acht Beiträge des Bandes erkunden zentrale Aspekte des cervantinischen Romans und gehen seiner Rezeption und Verar- beitung in Literatur, Kunst, Film und Musik im europäischen Kontext nach. Europäische Dimensionen des Inhalt: · Klaus Meyer-Minnemann: Zur Entstehung, Konzeption und Wir- Film und Musik Kunst, in Literatur, Don Quijote in Literatur, Kunst, kung des Don Quijote in der europäischen Literatur · Hans-Jörg Neuschäfer: Boccaccio, Cervantes und der utopische Possibilismus Film und Musik · Katharina Niemeyer: Der Furz des Sancho Panza oder Don Quijote als komischer Roman Don Quijote · Dieter Ingenschay: Don Quijote in der spanischen und deutschen Literaturwissenschaft · Johannes Hartau: Don Quijote als Thema der bildenden Kunst · Tilmann Altenberg: Don Quijote im Film · Bárbara P.

  • 1 the Alps, Richard Strauss's Alpine Symphony and Environmentalism

    1 the Alps, Richard Strauss's Alpine Symphony and Environmentalism

    Note: This is an expanded version of an article appearing in the journal Green Letters (2011); it is intended for a literary rather than musical readership, and the punctuation and spellings are British. The Alps, Richard Strauss’s Alpine Symphony and Environmentalism By Brooks Toliver Introduction After love and death, nature may well be European music’s preferred theme; it figures significantly in troubadour cansos, pastoral madrigals and operas, tone poems, impressionistic preludes, and elsewhere. In light of this it is puzzling how seldom actual nature is invoked in musical discourse. Composers—Richard Strauss among them—have been known to seek out nature in the manner of landscape painters, but there is no similar tradition among the critics, who ground nature-music and their judgments of it not in nature but in other music and criticism. When confronted with the vivid imagery of Strauss’s Alpine Symphony (1915), contemporaries wrote primarily of the aesthetics of vivid imagery, relegating the images themselves to the level of anecdote. Musicologists are quite adept at exploring the relationship of works to cultural constructions of nature, but relatively few have brought real environments into the discussion of canonical music. There has as yet been no serious consideration of how the Alps might be critical to an appreciation of the Alpine Symphony, nor has anyone theorized what the consequences of the Alpine Symphony might be for the Alps. Surely it is worth asking whether it metaphorically embodies sustaining or destructive relationships to the environment it represents, if it respects or disrespects nonhuman nature, and if love of nature is contingent on a symbolic domination of it, to name just three questions.

I couldn’t believe from the beginning of the first song it could possibly get any more ecstatic and full of emotion, and yet it did. It was a short step from there to Strauss opera for me, and with the birth of YouTube I sat until the early hours of many a morning in my tiny room at Edinburgh University, listening to, watching and obsessing over Der Rosenkavalier’s final trio and presentation of the rose.

Al compositore tedesco più in vista e di successo nella prima metà del Novecento viene dunque dedicato il terzo festi- val monografico, interdisciplinare e collegiale realizzato a Torino: interdisciplinare perché nei 33 appuntamenti che lo costituiscono sono coin- volte più forme artistiche; collegiale perché tutto il programma è frutto di una vasta sinergia che coinvolge circa trenta istituzioni culturali. Richard Strauss (1864-1949) ebbe un forte lega- me con l’Italia e la sua cultura, come testimonia la mostra documentaria allestita per l’occasione e che significativamente inaugura il Festival.
  • Armida Abducts the Sleeping Rinaldo”

    Armida Abducts the Sleeping Rinaldo”

    “Armida abducts the sleeping Rinaldo” Neutron autoradiography is capable of revealing different paint layers piled-up during the creation of the painting, whereas different pigments can be represented on separate films due to a contrast variation created by the differences in the half-life times of the isotopes. Thus, in many cases the individual brushstroke applied by the artist is made visible, as well as changes made during the painting process, so-called pentimentis. When investigating paintings that have been reliably authenticated, it is possible to identify the particular style of an artist. By an example - a painting from the French painter Nicolas Poussin (1594–1665), belonging to the Berlin Picture Gallery - the efficiency of neutron autoradiography is demonstrated as a non- destructive method. Fig. 1: Nicolas Poussin, Replica, “Armida abducts the sleeping Rinaldo”, (c. 1637), Picture Gallery Berlin, 120 x 150 cm2, Cat No. 486 The painting show scenes from the bible and from classical antiquity. In 1625 the legend of the sorceress Armida and the crusader Rinaldo had inspired Poussin to a painting named “Armida and Rinaldo”, now owned by the Dulwich Picture Gallery in London, that has been identified as an original. In contrast, the painting from the Berlin Picture Gallery “Armida abducts the sleeping Rinaldo” (Fig. 1) shows a different but similar scene, and was listed in the Berlin Gallery’s catalogue as a copy. To clarify the open question of the ascription a neutron radiography investigation was carried out. In Fig. 2, one of the autoradiographs is depicted.
