    Die Uraufführungen Von Beethovens Sinfonie Nr. 9 (Mai 1824) Aus Der Perspektive Des Orchesters

    Die Uraufführungen von Beethovens Sinfonie Nr. 9 (Mai 1824) aus der Perspektive des Orchesters Theodore Albrecht The history of the Uraufführung of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 is so well known that even school children might have heard the tale of the pitifully deaf composer who could not hear the applause that rewarded his music at the end. Earlier histories, beginning with Schindler and repeated (and elaborated upon) by Thayer,1 as well as many subsequent myth-making accounts, have related that Beethoven actually composed the Ninth Symphony on commission from the Philharmonic Society in London for a first performance there; that Beethoven possibly wanted to move the first performance from Rossini- loving Vienna to Berlin; that he received a mysterious Petition imploring him to retain the first performance for Vienna; that Beethoven’s friends had a long debate over the hall in which the concert should take place; that Beethoven composed the horn solo in the third movement for a hornist named Lewy, who possessed a valved horn; that there was an unpleasant and unprecedented plan to replace concertmaster Franz Clement with Beethoven’s favorite Ignaz Schuppanzigh; that there were a large number of amateurs in the orchestra; that there was an inadequate performance after only two rehearsals; that the Imperial box of the theater was insultingly empty; that Beethoven’s deafness prevented him from hearing the applause at the end; that cheers from the audience were unfairly suppressed by the Police; and that Beethoven earned unexpectedly small profits from the May 7 and 23 concerts. This essay will follow Beethoven’s progress with the Symphony No.

    Giuliani's Guitar and Vienna's Musical Markets, 1806–1819

    Music by the Ducat: Giuliani’s Guitar and Vienna’s Musical Markets, 1806–1819 by Lindsay Jones A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Music University of Toronto © Copyright by Lindsay Jones 2020 Music by the Ducat: Giuliani’s Guitar and Vienna’s Musical Markets, 1806–1819 Lindsay Jones Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Music University of Toronto 2020 Abstract Amidst ambivalent attitudes held toward the guitar, Italian-born guitar virtuoso Mauro Giuliani (1781-1829) composed and performed in Vienna from 1806 to1819. Giuliani’s time in the city was punctuated by his participation in the market for goods related to the Congress of Vienna. He entered this market by gearing his performances and publications towards representing the Congress’s mandate of cooperation and conversation, as well as the recent interest in Austrian folk songs alongside patriotic sentiments for an emerging Austrian state. Giuliani’s solo guitar performances were defined by his unique ability to overcome what critics regarded as the guitar’s seemingly unsurmountable deficiencies. His active participation in the virtuoso concert culture of Vienna—a market that was removed from a growing “serious” concert culture—was defined by his increasing involvement in the commercially-driven subscription concert. Underlying Giuliani’s participation in the Congress of Vienna and the popular virtuoso concert was his interest in the burgeoning folk music movement. Related to Austrian patriotic sentiments, Giuliani’s folk-inspired Ländler and variation sets reveal his preoccupation with a more quotation-based approach to folk song composition, an approach that—while attractive in terms of print music sales—jeopardized the longevity of his folk-inspired works by obscuring his authorial ingenuity.

During convention harmonic richness is stimulated, but also in the exposition and Schubert’s lifetime (1797–1828) some of them were performed, but only the recapitulation of many movements. The result is a certain loss of the occasionally and in small circles; his most famous pieces instead ranked concision that is so typical of Haydn’s and Mozart’s music, and of energy among his songs and a small group of piano compositions, mainly for four (since Schubert, unlike Beethoven, is very sparing with great dynamic hands. These works fitted perfectly into a bourgeois culture that greatly contrasts), but an increase in lyric expansion. Already in the earlier enjoyed domestic music-making and valued music with an essentially symphonies, one observes Schubert’s inclination towards long passages classical framework as well as a romantic and melancholic character. without great dramatic contrasts but with an essentially continuous sonority. Even in his Fourth Symphony, in the ‘tragic’ key of C minor (the The symphony was regarded as a public genre during Schubert’s day; its nickname ‘Tragic’ is the composer’s own), Schubert is more a lyric than a greatest master was Ludwig van Beethoven, whose offerings combined a tragic composer.

    HEINRICH WILHELM ERNST Complete Music for Violin and Piano, Volume 2 by Mark Rowe Heinrich Wilhelm Ernst was one of the most important performers of the nineteenth century. In 1884, reviewing over thirty years of avid concert-going, the Rev. H. R. Haweis wrote: ‘[If], looking back and up to the present hour, I am asked to name off hand, the greatest players – the very greatest I ever heard – I say at once Ernst, Liszt, Rubinstein’.1 His assessment was shared by the professionals. ‘Ernst was the greatest violinist I ever heard,’ said Joseph Joachim, ‘he towered above the others [...]. He became my ideal of a performer, even surpassing in many respects the ideal I had imagined for myself.’2 Similarly, Berlioz could not say enough about the genius of his friend: ‘Let me reiterate, Ernst, who is a great musician as well as a great violinist (as well as being the most delightfully humorous man I know) is the complete rounded artist, profoundly and predominantly expressive in everything he does’.3 As a performer, he was particularly admired for his stupendous technique, his intense and melancholic expressivity, his capricious sense of humour, and a tone which came remarkably close to the human voice. These gifts, moreover, were lavished not only on the solo violin: he also made an outstanding contribution to public chamber music. Sir Julius Benedict, for example, reminiscing about the dismal premiere of one of Beethoven’s late quartets, had no doubts about which violinist finally revealed these works as masterpieces: ‘Not until Ernst had completely imbued himself in the spirit of these compositions could P the world discover their long hidden beauties’.4 When one also discovers that Ernst was Paganini’s most significant rival, the first Jewish violin virtuoso of international renown, an important technical innovator and a highly successful and influential composer, it is natural to wonder who exactly he was.
