Paul Crossley A5 Flyer Final Homage to SZYMON LAKS 1901-1983 “Since I was for a long time a member of the orchestra at Auschwitz II and during a certain period its conductor, I regard it as my obligation to relate and some way to commemorate this strange chapter in the history of music, a chapter that will probably not be written by any professional historian of this branch of art ...” From Szymon Laks ‘Music of Another World’ (1948) Trans. Chester A. Kisiel. Reprinted by kind permission of A. Laks Jacqueline Cole piano Sunday 16 January 2005 at 5 pm In Commemoration of the 60th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz Birkenau Szymon Laks writes: Programme “[It is difficult] to write about music in Auschwitz-Birkenau without referring to the SZYMON LAKS (1901-1983) background against which this music is played ... one could also say: about music in a distorting mirror. ... For a while, a ‘Czech camp’ that had come from Sonata Brève (Paris 1946) Theresienstadt (Terezin) had existed near us. The modus vivendi of these Czech UK Première Jews was enviable ... In short, a paradise against the background of the nearby hell, but there was something ominous about it. Then one fine day the terrible news. PAVEL HAAS (1899-1944) The impression it made on us proved that we had still not become completely Suite Opus 13 (Brno 1935) insensitive. It began very innocently. Praeludium Con molto espressione Our music stands, which had long since become rotted from continual exposure Danza to the elements, could barely stand up straight and were hardly fit for use. The Pastorale carpenters had promised us to fix some of them and put together a few new Postludium ones, but somehow they seemed in no hurry to do so. … After a few days a messenger came with instructions for us to report immediately to the commander VIKTOR ULLMANN (1898-1944) with a few musicians but without instruments. We went there, highly intrigued. Sonata No. 7 (Theresienstadt 1944) ‘A mes enfants Max, Jean, Felice’ After the regulation “Attention! At ease!” the commander pointed to twelve black Allegro music stands in the corner and told us to take them, explaining: “I heard that you Alla Marcia, ben misurato need music stands. Take these. I organised them especially for your orchestra”. Adagio, ma con moto We recognised those stands. They came from the Czech camp, which we had Scherzo – Allegretto grazioso once had the opportunity of visiting on official business. Last night the four Variationen und Fuge über ein hebräisches Volkslied thousand Czechs, whom we had envied for their carefree prosperity, had been turned into ashes. That was the price of those music stands. Along with the Interval stands we also inherited from the Czechs a few violins, a trumpet and a priceless violoncello, whose lack I had painfully felt. Not only would it enrich the sound of our orchestra, but it would give me the opportunity of forming a string quartet, OLIVIER MESSIAEN (1908-1992) writing from memory a few works of the great masters and also composing my Première communion de la Vierge own work for this classical group.” Regard du silence from ‘Vingt Regards sur L’Enfant-Jésus’ (Paris 1944) From Szymon Laks, ‘Music of Another World’ (1948), Trans.

His compositional output is beautiful, abundant and still waiting to be discovered. After his ‘liberation’ and political exile to Paris in May 1945, Szymon Laks continued his artistic life on a solitary path as writer and composer. He died in Paris in December 1983.

  • Wanda Landowska Bevorzugt Als Interpretin
    Landowska, Wanda Wahrheit war die Bemerkung an den Cellisten Pablo Ca- sals adressiert, wobei Landowska in einer Diskussion über die Ausführung von Bachschen Verzierungen bei ei- nem musikalischen Treffen in Banyuls-sur-Mer im Juni 1941 wortwörtlich sagte: “… ne discutons pas davantage. Continuez a jouer Bach a votre façon et moi, a sa façon”. (The Oxford Dictionary of American Quotations, hg. von Hugh Rawson, Margaret Miner, 2. Auflage. New York: Oxford University Press, 2006. S. 66.) Inhaltlich bildet der Satz durchaus einen Widerspruch zu Landowskas ei- gener Auffassung von Interpretation in späteren Jahren: „When I play, there is always a frame, although I do not care any longer about the rules of interpretation.“ (Wan- da Landowska, Being an Interpreter [1950er Jahre]. In: Denise Restout (Hg.). Landowska on Music. New York: Stein and Day 1964, S. 407.) Profil Trotz ihrer vielfältigen Begabungen und Aktivitäten sah sich Wanda Landowska bevorzugt als Interpretin. In Le- bensläufen, die von ihr autorisiert wurden, blieben ihre Bestrebungen, sich in jungen Jahren als Komponistin zu Die Cembalistin und Pianistin Wanda Landowska. etablieren, stets ausgelassen.

Histoire administrative : En 1916, à l’intérieur du Secrétariat aux Beaux-Arts se crée un service d’études et action artistique à l’étranger. Un problème se pose du fait que ce service enlève au département des relations extérieures du ministère des Affaires étrangères l’exclusivité des rapports avec l’étranger. Malgré la collaboration étroite entre le service d’études du secrétariat aux Beaux-Arts et le service des œuvres françaises à l’étranger du ministère des Affaires étrangères, des problèmes de cadre administratif se posent. C’est dans ce cadre que sera créée le 29 mai 1922, l’Association française d’expansion et d’échanges artistiques (AFEEA). Elle a son siège social à Paris et collabore avec le service des Œuvres françaises à l’étranger du ministère des Affaires étrangères. L’association est patronnée par le ministère de l’Instruction publique secrétariat d’Etat aux Beaux-Arts (remplacé plus tard par celui de la Culture) et le ministère des Affaires étrangères. Elle est reconnue d’utilité publique le 16 mai 1923.

  • Early Music Revival
    Early music revival Hombourg, juli 2019 Prof. dr. Hans van Dijk De hernieuwde belangstelling voor de oude muziek in de negentiende en eerste helft van de twintigste eeuw in West-Europa Wat is 'oude muziek'? Om een antwoord op deze vraag te kunnen geven moet een groot aantal publicaties worden doorgenomen, waarbij dan blijkt dat de diverse auteurs allen een eigen interpretatie van dit fenomeen hebben. De een ziet alle muziek van vóór het jaar 476 (de ondergang van het West-Romeinse rijk) als 'oude' of 'antieke' muziek, de Middeleeuwen en de periode daarna als de 'nieuwere', die natuurlijk in verschillende perioden moet worden onderverdeeld; de ander ziet aan het einde van de Middeleeuwen (tweede helft 14e eeuw) een breukvlak met de 'nieuwere muziek', eveneens in verschillende perioden onder te verdelen. Een derde wil de nieuwere muziek met de Barok (± 1600) laten beginnen en ziet alles vóór het jaar 1600 als 'oud'. Uit deze verschillende opvattingen valt alleen maar te concluderen dat er geen eensluidende opvattingen mogelijk zijn. Natuurlijk speelt ook de tijd waarin de verschillende auteurs leven een rol. In de 18e eeuw was het beeld dat men had van 'oude muziek' iets geheel anders dan in de 19e of de eerste helft van de 20e eeuw. Wanneer we de geschiedenis van de herleving van de 'oude muziek' willen beschrijven geven wij er de voorkeur aan om deze te laten beginnen bij het begin van die herleving, d.w.z. in de jaren direct na het begin van de 19e eeuw en daarbij alle muziek van vóór 1800 als 'oude muziek' te zien.
