SIGNED: Brian Charles Witkowski 4 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Special thanks is due to Charles Roe for serving as my primary advisor and committee chair as well as to Faye Robinson and Kristin Dauphinais for serving on my committee and earnestly supporting this project. Additional thanks goes to Jay Rosenblatt and Paula Fan for their expertise in German Romantic music and their assistance in the process. Lastly, thank you Carol Kimball for your inspiration to explore the art song repertory in depth and to bring rare and unknown works to life. 5 DEDICATION First, I would like to dedicate this document to the loving memory of Sister Shirlee A. Hoski (1939–2010), a dedicated Sister of St. Joseph - Third Order of St. Francis since 1958. A woman of many talents, she was a musical and spiritual mentor to many as the minister of music and pastoral associate at Holy Name Parish in Birmingham, Michigan. The undertaking of a project that in part synthesizes music and faith can be credited to her inspiration. Second, I would also like to dedicate this document to my father, Dr. Michael J. Witkowski, Ed.D, who always encouraged me to pursue my dreams. He instilled me with the confidence that anything in life can be achieved with the right amount of dedication, sacrifice, and resilience. 6 TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF MUSICAL EXAMPLES......................................................................................7 ABSTRACT.........................................................................................................................8 CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION AND BIOGRAPHY OF CARL LOEWE.....................9 A.

  • THE VIRTUOSO UNDER SUBJECTION: HOW GERMAN IDEALISM SHAPED the CRITICAL RECEPTION of INSTRUMENTAL VIRTUOSITY in EUROPE, C. 1815 A
    THE VIRTUOSO UNDER SUBJECTION: HOW GERMAN IDEALISM SHAPED THE CRITICAL RECEPTION OF INSTRUMENTAL VIRTUOSITY IN EUROPE, c. 1815–1850 A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Zarko Cvejic August 2011 © 2011 Zarko Cvejic THE VIRTUOSO UNDER SUBJECTION: HOW GERMAN IDEALISM SHAPED THE CRITICAL RECEPTION OF INSTRUMENTAL VIRTUOSITY IN EUROPE, c. 1815–1850 Zarko Cvejic, Ph. D. Cornell University 2011 The purpose of this dissertation is to offer a novel reading of the steady decline that instrumental virtuosity underwent in its critical reception between c. 1815 and c. 1850, represented here by a selection of the most influential music periodicals edited in Europe at that time. In contemporary philosophy, the same period saw, on the one hand, the reconceptualization of music (especially of instrumental music) from ―pleasant nonsense‖ (Sulzer) and a merely ―agreeable art‖ (Kant) into the ―most romantic of the arts‖ (E. T. A. Hoffmann), a radically disembodied, aesthetically autonomous, and transcendent art and on the other, the growing suspicion about the tenability of the free subject of the Enlightenment. This dissertation‘s main claim is that those three developments did not merely coincide but, rather, that the changes in the aesthetics of music and the philosophy of subjectivity around 1800 made a deep impact on the contemporary critical reception of instrumental virtuosity. More precisely, it seems that instrumental virtuosity was increasingly regarded with suspicion because it was deemed incompatible with, and even threatening to, the new philosophic conception of music and via it, to the increasingly beleaguered notion of subjective freedom that music thus reconceived was meant to symbolize.

  • Andréas Hallén's Letters to Hans
    ”Klappern und wieder klappern! Die Leute glauben nur was gedruckt steht.” ”Klappern und wieder klappern! Die Leute glauben nur was gedruckt steht.”1 Andréas Hallén’s Letters to Hans Herrig. A Contribution to the Swedish-German Cultural Contacts in the Late Nineteenth Century Martin Knust It is beyond question that the composer Andréas Hallén (1846–1925) never stood in the front line of Swedish musical life. Nevertheless, the ways he composed and promoted his music have to be regarded as very advanced for his time. As this study reveals, Hallén’s work as a composer and music critic may have served as a model for the next generation of composers in Sweden. Moreover, his skills as an orchestra- tor as well as his cleverness in building up networks on the Continent can hardly be overestimated. Hallén turns out to have been quite a modern composer in that he took over the latest music technologies and adapted them to a certain music market. The study of Hallén and his work exposes certain musical and cultural developments that were characteristic for Sweden at the turn of the century. Documents that just recently became accessible to research indicate that it is time to re-evaluate Hallén’s role in Swedish musical life. Correspondence between opera composers and their librettists provides us with a wealth of details about the genesis of these interdisciplinary art works and sometimes even, like the correspondence Strauss–Hofmannsthal, about the essence of opera itself. In the case of the Swedish composer Andréas2 Hallén, his first opera Harald der Wiking was not only an interdisciplinary but also an international project because he worked together with the German dramatist Hans Herrig (1845–1892).

  • Adolph Menzel Und Franz Kugler 31
    Originalveröffentlichung in: Espagne, Michel (Hrsg.): Franz Theodor Kugler : deutscher Kunsthistoriker und Berliner Dichter, Berlin 2010, S. 31-43 ADOLPH MENZEL UND FRANZ KUGLER Hubertus Kohle Wie bekannt, spielte Franz Kugler für den frühen Adolph Menzel eine große Rolle. Es war nicht selbstverständlich, dass der Kunsthistoriker ihn, der zu diesem Zeitpunkt noch jung und wenig an die Öffentlichkeit getreten war, 1839 als Illustrator für seine später zu einem echten Volksbuch gewordene Geschichte Friedrichs des Großen auswählte. Dem Graphiker und Maler erschloss sich mit diesem Großunternehmen - insgesamt fertigte er über 400 Holz­ schnitte - ein historisches Thema, dem er sich bis in die frühen 1860er Jahre widmen sollte. Programmatisch führt er in einem Brief von 1839 dazu aus: „Meine Intention war, den Für­ sten darzustellen, den die Fürsten haßten und die Völker verehrten, dieß war das Ergebnis dessen was Er war, mit einem Wort: den alten Fritz, der im Volke lebt".1 Menzel hat dieses Interesse im Anschluss an seine Arbeit für das Kugler-Buch in einer Reihe von umfangrei­ chen Illustrationszyklen etwa zur Geschichte Friedrichs des Großen und seiner Armee ent­ faltet, seit den späten 1840er Jahren dann auch in der berühmten Ölbilderfolge, die in der Ansprache Friedrichs des Großen vor der Schlacht bei Leuthen kulminiert und plötzlich abbricht. Bis zu seinem Tod war damit Menzels Image als „Ruhmeskünder Friedrichs des Großen" festgelegt, ein Image, das genauso scheinbar offensichtlich wie letztlich irreführend ist. Denn missachtet ist darin zweierlei: Erstens die Tatsache, dass sich die Ästhetik der Ölbilder kaum dazu eignet, die Rolle der Ruhmesverkündung zu übernehmen - darauf ist zurückzu­ kommen. Und zweitens, dass sich der Maler in der zweiten Hälfte seines langen Lebens eben radikal weiteren Verarbeitungen des Stoffes entzog, ja historische Stoffe insgesamt weitge­ hend mied.2 Auch jenseits ihrer Zusammenarbeit am Projekt der Geschichte Friedrichs des Großen, die sich bis 1842 hinzog, sind sich Kugler und Menzel häufig begegnet.

  • [STENDHAL]. — Joachim Rossini , Von MARIA OTTINGUER, Leipzig 1852
    REVUE DES DEUX MONDES , 15th May 1854, pp. 731-757. Vie de Rossini , par M. BEYLE [STENDHAL]. — Joachim Rossini , von MARIA OTTINGUER, Leipzig 1852. SECONDE PÉRIODE ITALIENNE. — D’OTELLO A SEMIRAMIDE. IV. — CENERENTOLA ET CENDRILLON. — UN PAMPHLET DE WEBER. — LA GAZZA LADRA. — MOSÈ [MOSÈ IN EGITTO]. On sait que Rossini avait exigé cinq cents ducats pour prix de la partition d’Otello (1). Quel ne fut point l’étonnement du maestro lorsque le lendemain de la première représentation de son ouvrage il reçut du secrétaire de Barbaja [Barbaia] une lettre qui l’avisait qu’on venait de mettre à sa disposition le double de cette somme! Rossini courut aussitôt chez la Colbrand [Colbran], qui, pour première preuve de son amour, lui demanda ce jour-là de quitter Naples à l’instant même. — Barbaja [Barbaia] nous observe, ajouta-t-elle, et commence à s’apercevoir que vous m’êtes moins indifférent que je ne voudrais le lui faire croire ; les mauvaises langues chuchotent : il est donc grand temps de détourner les soupçons et de nous séparer. Rossini prit la chose en philosophe, et se rappelant à cette occasion que le directeur du théâtre Valle le tourmentait pour avoir un opéra, il partit pour Rome, où d’ailleurs il ne fit cette fois qu’une rapide apparition. Composer la Cenerentola fut pour lui l’affaire de dix-huit jours, et le public romain, qui d’abord avait montré de l’hésitation à l’endroit de la musique du Barbier [Il Barbiere di Siviglia ], goûta sans réserve, dès la première épreuve, cet opéra, d’une gaieté plus vivante, plus // 732 // ronde, plus communicative, mais aussi trop dépourvue de cet idéal que Cimarosa mêle à ses plus franches bouffonneries.
