  • La Recepción Temprana De Wagner En Estados Unidos: Wagner En La Kleindeutschland De Nueva York, 1854-1874
    Resonancias vol. 19, n°35, junio-noviembre 2014, pp. 11-24 La recepción temprana de Wagner en Estados Unidos: Wagner en la Kleindeutschland de Nueva York, 1854-1874 F. Javier Albo Georgia State University, Atlanta, USA. [email protected] Resumen Este trabajo se centra en la recepción de la música de Richard Wagner, limitado a un marco geográfico específico, el de la ciudad de Nueva York –en concreto el distrito alemán de la ciudad, conocido como Kleindeutschland– y temporal, el comprendido entre la primera ejecución documentada de una obra de Wagner en la ciudad, en 1854, y la definitiva entronización del compositor como legítimo representante de la tradición musical alemana a partir del estreno de Lohengrin en la Academy of Music, en 1874. Se destaca la labor de promoción a cargo de los emigrantes alemanes, en su papel de mediadores, en los años 50 y 60 del siglo XIX, una labor fundamental ya que gracias a ella germinó la semilla del culto a Wagner que eclosionaría durante la Gilded Age, la “Edad dorada” del desarrollo económico y artístico finisecular, que afectó a todo el país pero de manera especial a Nueva York. Asimismo, se incluye una aproximación a la recepción en la crítica periodística neoyorquina durante el periodo en cuestión. Palabras clave: Wagner; Recepción temprana en Nueva York; Músicos alemanes y emigración, 1850-1875; Crítica periodística. Abstract This study discusses the early reception of Richard Wagner’s music in New York, starting with the first documented performance of a work by Wagner in the city, in 1854, and the momentous production of Lohengrin at the Academy of Music, in 1874.

  • German Project
    1 Max Siegling 16.05.2011 Professor Kasinitz Germans in New York City: From the Revolutions of 1848 to World War I The experience of German immigrants in New York City in the 1800s was one of fruitful struggle, from the coalescing of a German American community after the revolutions of 1848 brought many Germans into New York, to the height of German American culture pre-World War I, with its abundance of theater troupes, opera companies, cultural societies, and journals. It was at this very height, when German Americans had moved upward socially and economically in American society, that anti-German sentiment in WWI led to the complete assimilation of an ethnic group which had earlier maintained a high ethnic presence. This high ethnic presence was enabled by the creation of a German American culture – not fully German anymore, but neither completely American – with cultural products – art, music, journals – that depicted the German American experience in New York. This German American experience was marked by a longing for the homeland, regional disunity and mixing, class conflict, and an integration into and ascent in American society. These cultural products were split between a “high” and “low” culture (in terms of upper and lower classes); where the high culture sought to promote German art of the homeland, particularly Wagner, the low culture, often through humor – only sometimes sardonic – sought to express the experience of Germans in New York with new art, art made by and for Germans in New York. There was always a German presence in New York, but it was only after the failed revolutions of 1848 in Europe that the German community really began to coalesce in New York, into a neighborhood known as Klein Deutschland (Little Germany – now the East 2 Village and parts of the Lower East Side).

Response from audience and critics is favorable. • 1890 - By this time, the public customarily refers to these “popular” concerts in the shorthand “Pop” or “Pops.” • 1896 - The tradition of annual “college nights” at the Pops begins when Harvard hosts Harvard Night at the Pops. Harvard was followed by MIT in 1897, Tufts in 1901, and a host of others. • 1897 - A new march by John Philip Sousa, The Stars and Stripes Forever, is played in its orchestral version for the first time. Works by other American composers are played more frequently at the concerts, contributing to their increasing “American-ness.” The Move to Symphony Hall: 1900– 1929 • 1900 - The BSO management officially changes the name of the concerts to the “Pops,” andThe Stars and Stripes Forever regularly serves as the grand finale. • Symphony Hall, the new home of the Boston Symphony and Boston Pops, opens in October.

  • Adolph Rosenbecker 1851-1919
    1 Adolph Rosenbecker 1851-1919 Adolph Rosenbecker was born in July 11, 1851 in Steinfurth, near Frankfurt, Germany. He studied with local teacher when 14 and played in the Saablau Orchestra of Frankfurt until 1866. He then attended the Leipzig Conservatory studying violin with Ferd David and also conducting with Carl Reinecke from 1866-1869. He became first violin with the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra. To avoid mandatory service with the Prussian Army, he migrated to New York City where he began playing in the German Opera under Adolf Neuendorff. In 1879 he joined the Theodore Thomas New York based touring orchestra and remained for 8 years, until 1877. He then relocated to Chicago. He organized and conducted (1889-1892) an orchestra in Chicago. Rosenbecker then became a teacher at the Chicago Conservatory and directed a theater orchestra. He organized a symphony orchestra and when Thomas died he renamed his group as the 'Theodore Thomas Orchestra in honor of Thomas. This orchestra played at many music festivals in the 'off' season. He brought a band from Chicago to New Orleans' West End for two seasons, the 1901 and 1902 summer seasons. From 1910-1912 he was concertmaster of the Chicago Grand Opera Company. He then joined the San Francisco Symphony in the 1912-1913 season staying from 1912-1915. He left the orchestra around 1916 and three years later died.
