  • Gustav Mahler and Hans Rott the Musicological Assessment of a Relationship
    Gustav Mahler and Hans Rott The Musicological Assessment of a Relationship Rogier van Gulick 3987264 Universiteit Utrecht BA Eindwerkstuk Muziekwetenschap 2016-2017 (block 3) Scriptiebegeleider: Dr. Ruxandra Marinescu 1 Contents: Summary 3 Introduction 4 Chapter 1 7 Chapter 2 13 Conclusion 18 Bibliography 20 2 Summary In 1979, the musicologist Paul Banks rediscovered the Viennese composer Hans Rott (1858-1884), whose symphony (written between 1878 and 1880) seemingly contain some themes and compositional techniques known from Mahler’s works. After this discovery, musicologists have turned their attention to Rott’s life and music. This thesis discusses the key musicological publications after 1980 on the subject of Rott’s life and music, specifically in relation to Mahler. Chapter 1 presents the theoretical framework and introduces the concept of the ‘great composer’ as described by Jim Samson. Further, it discusses how musicologists in general have addressed Rott and his relationship with Mahler, and addresses shortly the musical fragments that Mahler borrowed from Rott’s symphony. Chapter 2 turns to a case study. Two publications by the musicologists Helmuth Kreysing and Frank Litterscheid on the influence of Rott’s symphony on Mahler’s music are being discussed. 3 Introduction “Was die Musik an ihm verloren hat, ist gar nicht zu ermessen: zu solchem Fluge erhebt sich sein genius schon in dieser Ersten Symphonie, die er als zwanzigjähriger Jüngling schrieb und die ihn – es ist nicht zu viel gesagt – zum Begründer der neuen Symphonie macht, wie ich sie verstehe.”1 These words by Gustav Mahler represent the gist of how musicology has always interpreted Hans Rott’s symphony in relation to the composer’s fate.

MUSIK: INDIKATIV Wussten Sie, dass Johannes Brahms ein Mörder war? Zumindest behauptete das der damals allerdings schon nicht mehr zurechnungsfähige Hugo Wolf mit Blick auf seinen Komponistenkollegen Hans Rott, der 1858 nahe Wien geboren wurde und 25 Jahre später in geistiger Umnachtung verstarb. Brahms, schon damals der elder statesman der deutschen Musik, hatte Rotts sinfonischen Erstling sowohl für einen Kompositionspreis wie für ein Stipendium abgelehnt und so für Rott, den Lieblingsschüler Anton Bruckners und Kommilitonen Gustav Mahlers, eine Art Erzfeindbild geschaffen: Er und nur er habe Hans Rott auf dem Gewissen. Das trieb die skurrilsten Blüten. Auf einer Zugfahrt nach Straßburg wollte sich ein Fahrgast eine Zigarre anzünden, plötzlich fuchtelte Rott ihm mit einer Pistole vor der Nase herum und schrie, Brahms hätte den Zug mit Dynamit gespickt und wolle sie alle umbringen.

  • James, Hans Rott
    Volume 5, Number 1, January 1999 Copyright © 1999 Society for Music Theory * Tess James KEYWORDS: Bruckner, Mahler, Vienna, Rott, Brahms, string quartet, Richter, symphony ABSTRACT: The relationship between Gustav Mahler and his friend/significant influence Hans Rott is discussed in this essay, as well as the relationship of Bruckner and his favourite student Rott. The essay contains a brief treatment of Rott’s major work, the symphony in E Major and discusses how the history of music would have changed, had he lived longer. [1] What music has lost in him is unmeasurable. His first symphony soars to the heights of such genius as to make him the founder of the new symphony as I know it. (Mahler on Rott) [1a] You will not find a finer young man or a better musician (Bruckner on Rott) [1b] Every once in a while, a name is resurrected from the forgotten shrouds of musical history which has remained there unjustly, giving rise to an exciting new field of research. One of these is Viennese-born composer Hans Rott, who lived from 1858–1884. He was a favourite student of Bruckner as well as one of the major influences on his friend and contemporary Gustav Mahler. [1c] This past summer, I was in Vienna, together with Bob Freeman and Patricia Hall, both from the music department of UCSB. We found ourselves sitting in a little café, somewhere behind the Spanish riding school. Bob expertly ordered the most delightful pastries from the menu as he informed me that I was in shock, and needed something to get me on my feet again, preferably something with plenty of cream on top.

  • Gustav Mahler's Third Symphony
    Gustav Mahler’s Third Symphony: Program, Reception, and Evocations of the Popular by Timothy David Freeze A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Music Musicology) in The University of Michigan 2010 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Steven M. Whiting, Co-Chair Professor Albrecht Riethmüller, Freie Universität Berlin, Co-Chair Professor Roland J. Wiley Professor Michael D. Bonner Associate Professor Mark A. Clague © 2010 Timothy David Freeze All rights reserved To Grit ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The road leading to the completion of this dissertation was longer and more scenic than I ever intended it to be. It is a great pleasure to acknowledge here the many individuals and organizations that provided support and encouragement along the way. I am especially grateful to the co-chairs of my committee. Without the unflagging support of Steven M. Whiting, whose sage counsel on matters musical and practical guided me from start to finish, this project would not have been possible. I am equally indebted to Albrecht Riethmüller, whose insight and intellectual example were a beacon by whose light this dissertation took shape. I would also like to thank R. John Wiley, whose extensive and penetrating feedback improved the dissertation and my own thinking in countless ways, and Mark Clague and Michael Bonner, both of whom provided valuable comments on content and style. In Ann Arbor, I would like to acknowledge the support of the entire musicology faculty at the University of Michigan. Louise K. Stein gave helpful advice in the early stages of this project. In Berlin, I benefited from conversations with Federico Celestini, Sherri Jones, and Peter Moormann.

  • Mahler's First Symphony – a Comparative Survey
    Mahler’s First Symphony – A Comparative Survey By Lee Denham Apparently, some of the most visited web pages on MusicWeb International are of the late Tony Duggan’s comprehensive survey of Gustav Mahler’s symphonies. Sadly, we lost Tony in 2012 and it says much about his legacy that it is only now, some eight years after, that it has been decided that his work needs to be updated. When the request came round, I was rather quick to raise my hand to do the First symphony – only to then realise that the discography on the Mahler Foundation website lists some 250 or so recordings, both live and in the studio, which needed to be considered. I strongly suspect mine was the only hand that went up ! That said, it has been a significant challenge, therefore, to try and be both comprehensive as well as concise, entertaining as well as enlightening, without producing a text rivalling War and Peace, but I have done my best and do apologise in advance for what rapidly turned out to be quite a lengthy article. What follows is not designed to be a replacement of Tony’s work, nor can it be a comprehensive review of every issue of Mahler’s First Symphony ever made. Instead, it is an article which can broadly be split into three sections: the first deals with the various transcriptions and arrangements the work has received, followed by a brief history of its composition and different editions of the score with an analysis of the recordings made of the “original” score(s), until the main narrative, which is of the very many recordings this work has received I have managed to get my hands on – good, bad, indifferent, in poor sound or otherwise, where I have tried to give the reader an idea of the various merits of each and perhaps to provide guidance on which ones best to seek out for further investigation.

  • Hans Rott's Symphony No. 1 in E Major
    HANS ROTT’S SYMPHONY NO. 1 IN E MAJOR: A COMPARATIVE STUDY AND CONDUCTOR’S PREPARATION GUIDE by STEVEN ERIC HAWK (Under the Direction of Mark Cedel) ABSTRACT The Symphony No.1 in E major by Hans Rott (1858 – 1884) was never performed during the composer’s lifetime. In 1989, musicologist Paul Banks resurrected the lost composition, revealing its compositional similarities to Gustav Mahler’s symphonies. The developing interest in Rott’s symphony led to a scholarly performing edition published by Ries & Erler (2003). Conductors should understand that Rott’s symphony is a student piece, hence the published score contains flaws true to its original source. The available recordings offer performance considerations. A conductor’s guide could aid in the preparation of the score. This document, a comparative study of the score and existing recordings, aims to provide insight and guidance for a conductor’s preparation of Hans Rott’s Symphony No.1 in E major.
