  • Richard Strauss' Eine Alpensinfonie
    Richard Strauss’ Eine Alpensinfonie: A Culmination and Rejection of Nineteenth Century Philosophical Influences Chloe Tula MUSI 551 Dr. Bailey November 18, 2016 !1 ABSTRACT The goal of this paper is two-fold: on one hand, exploring how Alpensinfonie both challenges and stays true to traditional symphonic idioms, and on the other, examining how it fits into Strauss’s compositional career, personal religious journey, and the greater landscape of early 20th century leanings towards modernism. This paper is part analysis, part biography, and part historical analysis. Strauss clearly had a unique (and changing) perspective on Friedrich Nietzsche’s writings, and this often drew sharp contradictions in his life; one can view evidence of how this plays into Alpensinfonie, especially when contrasted against Zarathustra (1896), which shares many motives with Alpensinfonie (which, coincidentally, was sketched out as early as 1899, before Strauss’s operatic career took off). While Un Alpensinfonie is not his definitive - and far from his final - work, it is an important landmark in Strauss’s ever-changing compositional perspective. In Un Alpensinfonie, Strauss overturns norms of the early twentieth century by constructing an intense, one-movement symphony that all but replaces lofty reverence of deity figures with a more universal reverence of nature, adding to the collection of earth- conscious masterpieces (e.g. Rite of Spring, La Mer, The Planets for instance) that inspired a irreversible large-scale shift to programmatic and agnostic-leaning music in the European modernist movement to follow. INTRODUCTION Richard Strauss’ final tone poem, Un Alpensinfonie (An Alpine Symphony) is largely overlooked in the analyses of his tone poems.

  • Richard Strauss's Eine Alpensinfonie
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Carolina Digital Repository Richard Strauss’s Eine Alpensinfonie: An Analysis of Origins, Topics, and Symphonic Characteristics Jonathan Minnick Honors Thesis, Music Department University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill 2016 Approved by: _____________________ Adviser: Prof. Andrea Bohlman Reader: Prof. Cora Palfy Reader: Prof. Cherie Ndaliko 2 PREFACE This thesis addresses Richard Strauss’s Eine Alpensinfonie’s unsettled program and assesses multiple accounts of the portrayal of the program and the evidence provided by each. In addition, I explore the ideas of landscape in relation to Eine Alpensinfonie and how Strauss manages the alpine landscape as played out through his music. This exploration is substantiated by a thorough melodic analysis of the piece, which has organized themes hierarchically and given them titles based on their arrangement, style, and position within the piece. There are multiple questions that this thesis addresses in relation to the program and the thematic material of Eine Alpensinfonie. Numerous Strauss scholars have provided suggestions on how the program could be interpreted, though there has not been a definite answer to the question of what the program is for this piece of music. The question that I ask is what are some of the different assertions made about the program of Eine Alpensinfonie and do they hold up to critical analysis of other evidence found throughout my own research. The thematic material in the piece has been analyzed thoroughly by Rainer Bayreuther in his comprehensive work on Eine Alpensinfonie, though I am adding to what he has already generated.
