Invitations followed to leading opera houses, with an increasing focus on Vienna, Salzburg and Munich. New productions in Salzburg and Munich and numerous concert and repertoire performances established him among the leading Mozart tenors of his generation. His current Mozart repertoire encompasses the rôles of Tamino, Ferrando, Belmonte, Don Ottavio, Idamante, and Tito. His busy schedule includes Mozart in Vienna and Munich, Alfonso (Cagliari), Fenton (Munich, Vienna), SCHUBERT Flamand (Paris, Amsterdam), Tamino (Tokyo, Munich, Athens, San Diego, Dresden), David in Die Meistersinger (Toulouse), Dionysus in The Bassarids, Der Graf von Luxemburg (Vienna), Jaquino (Valencia), Don Giovanni (Valladolid, Trieste), Tito (Leipzig), Leukippos (Amsterdam), Schubert’s Friends, Vol. 3 Trojahn’s La Grande Maggia and Belmonte (Dresden), Wiener Blut (Seefestspiele Mörbisch), Dionysos and Arbace (Munich), Walther (La Scala) and Schumann’s Der rose Pilgerfahrt in the Frauenkirche Dresden.

No part of this book may be distributed, posted, or reproduced in any form by digital or mechanical means without prior written permission of the publisher. Schubert: The Nonsense Society Revisited RITA STEBLIN Twenty years have now passed since I discovered materials belonging to the Unsinnsgesellschaft (Nonsense Society).1 This informal club, active in Vienna from April 1817 to December 1818, consisted mainly of young painters and poets with Schubert as one of its central members. In this essay I will review this discovery, my ensuing interpretations, and provide some new observations. In January 1994, at the start of a research project on Schubert ico- nography, I studied some illustrated documents at the Historisches Museum der Stadt Wien (now the Wienmuseum am Karlsplatz), titled “Unsinniaden.”2 The documents comprise forty-four watercolor pictures and thirty-seven pages of text recording two festive events celebrated by the Nonsense Society: the New Year’s Eve party at the end of 1817 and the group’s first birthday party on 18 April 1818.3 The pictures depict various club members, identified by their code names and dressed in fan- ciful costumes, as well as four group scenes for the first event, including Vivat es lebe Blasius Leks (Long live Blasius Leks; Figure 1), and two group scenes for the second event, including Feuergeister-Scene (Fire Spirit Scene; Figure 6 below).4 Because of the use of code names—and the misidentifi- cations written on the pictures by some previous owner of the

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.

  • Franz Schubert: Inside, out (Mus 7903)
    FRANZ SCHUBERT: INSIDE, OUT (MUS 7903) LOUISIANA STATE UNIVERSITY, COLLEGE OF MUSIC & DRAMATIC ARTS FALL 2017 instructor Dr. Blake Howe ([email protected]) M&DA 274 meetings Thursdays, 2:00–4:50 M&DA 273 office hours Fridays, 9:30–10:30 prerequisite Students must have passed either the Music History Diagnostic Exam or MUS 3710. Blake Howe / Franz Schubert – Syllabus / 2 GENERAL INFORMATION COURSE DESCRIPTION This course surveys the life, works, and times of Franz Schubert (1797–1828), one of the most important composers of the nineteenth century. We begin by attempting to understand Schubert’s character and temperament, his life in a politically turbulent city, the social and cultural institutions that sponsored his musical career, and the circles of friends who supported and inspired his artistic vision. We turn to his compositions: the influence of predecessors and contemporaries (idols and rivals) on his early works, his revolutionary approach to poetry and song, the cultivation of expression and subjectivity in his instrumental works, and his audacious harmonic and formal practices. And we conclude with a consideration of Schubert’s legacy: the ever-changing nature of his posthumous reception, his impact on subsequent composers, and the ways in which modern composers have sought to retool, revise, and refinish his music. COURSE MATERIALS Reading assignments will be posted on Moodle or held on reserve in the music library. Listening assignments will link to Naxos Music Library, available through the music library and remotely accessible to any LSU student. There is no required textbook for the course. However, the following texts are recommended for reference purposes: Otto E.

  • Balman 1 Forrest Balman Dr. Ellison MUS 551 March 28Th, 2019 Franz
    Balman 1 Forrest Balman Dr. Ellison MUS 551 March 28th, 2019 Franz Schubert Arguably the composer who produced the largest quantity of work in proportion to his lifespan, Franz Schubert served an integral role in the history of Western music. According to Christopher H. Gibbs, author of The Cambridge Companion to Schubert, Schubert composed ​ ​ more than 1,500 works over the course of his short lifespan. Schubert’s principal focus was the composition of lieder, or German art songs, which comprised more than one third of his total catalog (Gibbs 21). Schubert’s songwriting epitomizes his importance as a transitional composer, whose compositional idioms projected what would become the musical norm well into the late 19th century. Despite never achieving the international acclaim of some of the other Austrian-born composers, such as Mozart and Haydn, Schubert was an idolic cultural figure in his community. According to Gibbs in an article titled The Life of Schubert, “During the early ​ ​ ​ 1820s, Schubert was part of a close-knit circle of artists and students who had social gatherings together that became known as Schubertiads” (Gibbs 61). Although his music wouldn’t become a universally accepted part of the Western repertoire until after his death, Schubert’s musical contributions comment on his innovation and untamed creativity. Franz Peter Schubert was born in Vienna on January 31, 1797. His father, Franz Theodor Florian Schubert, was a Viennese schoolmaster, and his mother, Maria Elizabeth Katharina Vietz was a housemaid. Schubert demonstrated an innate talent for music early in his life. The first Balman 2 music instruction Schubert received were informal keyboard lessons from his elder brother, Ignaz Schubert.

  • Schubert's Late Style and Current Musical Scholarship
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-11129-5 — Schubert's Late Music Edited by Lorraine Byrne Bodley , Julian Horton Excerpt More Information Introduction: Schubert’s late style and current musical scholarship lorraine byrne bodley The theme of lateness When discussing Schubert’s ‘late’ works it is worth remembering that wearereferringtoacomposerinhislatetwenties.Whythen,dowe ascribe the classification ‘late’? And in what sense do we mean ‘late’? Istherenot,inallSchubert’s‘latemusic’,simplyanexperiencedcomposer’s calm and confident grasp of the tools of his trade? Or did Schubert’s knowledge that he was dying propel an early flowering of a ‘late’ style? If so, then how can we define this style as distinct from maturity? While Schubert scholars generally agree that the composer’s style changed, there is a distinct division in how we approach such questions, the contentious issuebeingwhetheritisevenviabletospeakoflatestyleinacomposerwho died so young. Behind this debate lies the biblical belief in the timeliness of human life, where ‘lateness’ is perceived as the final phase. But is ‘lateness’ always an indication of lateness in life, or can it emerge through a recognition that the end is near? In attempting to answer this question it is important to problema- tize the ways in which biology and psychology are often co-opted to explain the imprint composers left on their art. Goethe is often recognized as the progenitor of Alterstil (old-age style) as a positive phenomenon that involved a gradual withdrawal from appearances and a consequent approach to the infinite and mystical.1 From him we derive the attributes of non-finito, subjectivity and the blending of formal with expressive ele- ments that are still widely accepted as markers of late style, as is the perception that old age can lead to transcendence.

  • Franz Schubert Eine Sendereihe Von Christine Lemke-Matwey
    Sonntag, 18. Juli 2021 15.03 – 17.00 Uhr Franz Schubert Eine Sendereihe von Christine Lemke-Matwey Glauben ohne Pfaffen: Schuberts Verhältnis zur Kirche (3/21) „Ave Maria! Jungfrau mild, Erhöre einer Jungfrau Flehen, Aus diesem Felsen starr und wild Soll mein Gebet zu dir hinwehen. Wir schlafen sicher bis zum Morgen, Ob Menschen noch so grausam sind. O Jungfrau, sieh der Jungfrau Sorgen, O Mutter, hör ein bittend Kind!“ … mit diesen Versen des schottischen Dichters Walter Scott, in deutscher Übersetzung, begrüße ich Sie zu dieser Sendung. Eine Höhle, Vater und Tochter darin, ein feindlicher König davor, das ist hier die romantische Situation. Ellen, das Mädchen, die Tochter, bittet um Schutz für die Nacht, sie betet zur Jungfrau Maria. Schubert vertont das 1825, neben sechs anderen Gedichten von Scott, und mit diesem hier, Ellens drittem Gesang, gelingt ihm ein absoluter Hit. Hochzeiten, Beerdigungen: Bis heute ist dieses Lied nicht nur aus der Kirche nicht mehr wegzudenken, sondern auch aus unseren Fußgängerzonen und Wunschkonzer- ten nicht. Gesungen, gepfiffen, auf der Säge gesägt oder auf der Quetschkommode gespielt: diese Musik ist unverwüstlich. Und bleibt doch im Kern ein Gebet. „Glauben ohne Pfaffen: Schuberts Verhältnis zur Kirche“ - das soll heute mein Thema sein. 1 TELDEC CLASSICS Franz Schubert 6‘15 LC 06019 „Ellens Gesang III“ (Ave Maria) D 839 4509-90873-2 Barbara Bonney, Sopran Tr. 1 Geoffrey Parssons, Klavier (1994) Barbara Bonney und Geoffrey Parssons, mit „Ellens Gesang III“, besser bekannt als Schuberts „Ave Maria“.
