Ascending Cadence Gestures, a New Historical Survey, Part 5D2: 1860-1900, Polkas Ascending Cadence Gestures, A New Historical Survey, Part 5d2: 1860-1900, Polkas David Neumeyer Professor Emeritus of Music The University of Texas at Austin June 2021 Abstract: This essay continues from the Historical Survey Parts 4b & 4b2, which covered polkas between 1840 and 1861, to document ascending cadence gestures in more than fifty polkas after that, to c. 1890. Composers represented, among many others, are Gonzaga, Kéler, Johann Strauss, jr., Sullivan, and Ziehrer. An appendix discusses the Clarinet Polka and Modřanská Polka (“Beer Barrel Polka”).

Appendix Author?, The Clarinet Polka (late 1800s) Jaromír Vejvoda, Modřanská Polka (“Beer Barrel Polka”; 1927) New Historical Survey 5d2, p. 4 Introduction This essay supplements the New Historical Survey, Parts 4b & 4b2, which covered polkas between 1840 and 1861: link to 4b; link to 4b2. Here find documentation of ascending cadence gestures in polkas after that, to c. 1890. Composers represented, among many others, are Gonzaga, Kéler, Johann Strauss, jr., and Ziehrer. A supplement consists of seven polkas from 1904, after which an appendix looks briefly at two very familiar items: the Clarinet Polka (1890s?) and the Modřanská Polka (“Beer Barrel Polka”; 1927). For background information and discussion of goals and methods in this multi- part essay series, please refer to the file Ascending Cadence Gestures, New Historical Survey: Introduction: link to the Part 1 page. See also Part 4b, introduction, which covers some of the same ground using polkas as examples: link to Part 4b. The more than fifty polkas included in this file serve the new survey project’s primary goal, which is to document the large number of compositions with structural cadences that ascend or with large-scale patterns focused on the upper register. For a list of pieces in the published sections of the New Historical Survey essay, as well as those projected to appear in the sections under preparation, see the Index to Ascending Cadence Gestures in Essays Published on the Texas ScholarWorks Platform: Update 2020: link to Index. The next page here gives a simple list of the parts in the New Historical Survey, identifying which have been published. * * * As with several of the more recent essays published in this New Historical Survey series, I am assuming that readers have some familiarity with the repertoire of figures I set forth and the style of commentary I employ. Given these, where the examples seem obvious I may dispense with commentary and in some cases even with score annotations—among the Survey files so far this is especially true of the present file. This approach seems reasonable given that 11 parts of a projected 28 have been published. Parts 2a–2c alone have more than 260 examples, almost all annotated, and even Part 5b, on three 19th and early 20th century hymnals, has more than 60. The number of polkas in Parts 4b, 4b2, and the present file is around 140. The work is important, and I intend to keep at it.

Various authors, c. 1860 to 1893 Béla Kéler, Ernst Litfass Annoncier Polka, op. 14 (1860c) In the first strain a proto-background of the sixth ^3/^5-below (A5–C5) is transformed already in bar 2 to the third C6–A5. In the second strain, C: ^3 (as E6) is clearly a focal tone, and as a result the entire figure might be called a “sublimated wedge”: ^2 is more than usually lacking, even, in bars 6–7 of the strain, and the lower rising line dominates. I suppose—if I could bring myself to use it—the term could be useful, since the missing ^2 is remarkably common, as we have seen in many examples in the 19th century repertoires, and not only in polkas. New Historical Survey 5d2, p. 7 Béla Kéler, La Rose, polka française, op. 18 (1860c) More clearly defined wedge figures than in the previous example; but the upper voice covers ^5–^4–^3, not ^3–^2–^1. In the trio, a line descending from ^8 ends at ^3—see bars 14–16, while the inner voice of the unfolded intervals has a simple neighbor note figure. Béla Kéler, Wiedersehen Polka, op. 41 (1860c) A clear linear descent from E6 to G5 in bars 1–8 is repeated in bars 9–16, but the cadence is a rising line from ^5 to ^8. The whole, then, is an unusual mirror, not ^8–^5|^5–^8 but ^10–^5|^5–^8. A. E. Blackmar, The Washington Artillery Polka March (1864) New Historical Survey 5d2, p. 9 J. T. Wamelink, The Central Skating Park Polka (1865) From ^5 with an inner-voice ^3 (see arrows). In the trio, an unusual case: ^3 (as G5/G6) is an obvious focal tone but the cadence to bars 1–8 takes a descending line into the middle register (circled F5 in bar 7), while a clear ascent from an otherwise subordinate ^5 moves above— see the arrows in bars 6–8. In bars 9–16, ^3 is the focal tone throughout and the descent is ^2–^1, where an unfolded third F5–D5 is inverted to a sixth and filled with an embellishing line: see bar 15. New Historical Survey 5d2, p. 10 Paul Tulane Wayne, Trolley Polka, (1893) Scale degree ^5 as both A4 and A5. The latter predominates but cedes to the former for a clear ascent in the cadence.

    DIE FLEDERMAUS Johann Strauss II 1874 April 26, 30, May 2, 4, 2014 BATS IN THE BELFRY: Lyric’s Fledermaus offers fine singing, excellent scenic design, firm direction May 1, 2014 By Paul Horsley Die Fledermaus is a surprisingly difficult opera to bring to the stage, deceptively simple on the surface yet filled with comic subtleties and a sort of effortless graciousness that has to be “just right.” The Lyric Opera of Kansas City’s new English-language production that opened April 26th, directed by Tomer Zvulun in his company debut, features first-rate scenic design and magnificent singing but in the end succeeds only partly in capturing the breathless effervescence of the piece. Audiences will enjoy it nevertheless, because the core of this story is implacably funny and much of the music is familiar and beloved. I did not enjoy myself overly, and I’ve devoted no little angst to figuring out why. To begin with the positive, the Lyric has brought some wonderful singers into the mix here. Kelly Kaduce lends substantial heft and a gloriously powerful soprano to the role of Rosalinde, the bored bourgeois housewife in Hapsburg Vienna who is being wooed by a dashing tenor. Her whimsical “Klänge der Heimat” czárdás aria in Act II, in which she tries to prove she’s a Hungarian countess, is a vocal and dramatic highlight of the show. Tall, elegant Liam Bonner offers a warm, delicious baritone to the central role of Eisenstein, the would-be philandering husband, whose earlier offense against his friend Dr. Falke has set the whole intrigue into motion.

  • Operetta After the Habsburg Empire by Ulrike Petersen a Dissertation
    Operetta after the Habsburg Empire by Ulrike Petersen A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Music in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in Charge: Professor Richard Taruskin, Chair Professor Mary Ann Smart Professor Elaine Tennant Spring 2013 © 2013 Ulrike Petersen All Rights Reserved Abstract Operetta after the Habsburg Empire by Ulrike Petersen Doctor of Philosophy in Music University of California, Berkeley Professor Richard Taruskin, Chair This thesis discusses the political, social, and cultural impact of operetta in Vienna after the collapse of the Habsburg Empire. As an alternative to the prevailing literature, which has approached this form of musical theater mostly through broad surveys and detailed studies of a handful of well‐known masterpieces, my dissertation presents a montage of loosely connected, previously unconsidered case studies. Each chapter examines one or two highly significant, but radically unfamiliar, moments in the history of operetta during Austria’s five successive political eras in the first half of the twentieth century. Exploring operetta’s importance for the image of Vienna, these vignettes aim to supply new glimpses not only of a seemingly obsolete art form but also of the urban and cultural life of which it was a part. My stories evolve around the following works: Der Millionenonkel (1913), Austria’s first feature‐length motion picture, a collage of the most successful stage roles of a celebrated

  • The Best of Operetta Vol. 1
    The Best of Operetta Vol. 1 Der Zigeunerbaron P'he Gypsy Baron) Das Land des Lachelns :The Land of Smiles) Die lustige Witwe me Merry Widow) and others The Best of Operetta Vol. 1 Operetta developed in the second half of the nineteenth century from very similar antecedents, the opQa comique of France and the more light-hearted Singspiel of German-speaking countries. In Paris Offenbach, son of a Cologne synagogue cantor, established himself with his series of operas bouffes and it was initally with performances of these in Vienna that the genre took root there, inspiring work by Supp6 and, at the earlier suggestion of Offenbach himself, Johann Strauss. Viennese operetta was inessence coterminouswith theHabsburg Empire. After 1918 Berlin assumed the position once held by Vienna in operetta, and as popular musical tastes diverged more and more with the passing of time, the genre became something of the past, displaced by the commercial produrk of Broadway and its imitators. The first volume of The Best of Operetta includes excerpts from operettas by Joham Strauss, Franz LeMr and Imre Mlmh. Strauss himself had followed his father's example, in spite of the latter's expressed desire, establishing his own dance-orchestra and later recruitinghistwo younger brothers, Josef and Eduard, into the family enterprise. The Strauss reputation extended far beyond the confines of Vienna and Straws orchestras appeared in different cities of Europe, providing an entertainment that suited very well the spirit of the time. Johann Strauss first turnedhisattention to operetta partly at the suggestionofOffenbach and more immediately at the urging of his first wife, the singer Henriette Chaputzky.

  • THE ART of CARLOS KLEIBER Carolyn Watson Thesis Submitted In
    GESTURE AS COMMUNICATION: THE ART OF CARLOS KLEIBER Carolyn Watson Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Conservatorium of Music University of Sydney May 2012 Statement of Originality I declare that the research presented here is my own original work and has not been submitted to any other institution for the award of a degree. Signed: Carolyn Watson Date: ii Abstract This thesis focuses on the art of orchestral conducting and in particular, the gestural language used by conductors. Aspects such as body posture and movement, eye contact, facial expressions and manual conducting gestures will be considered. These nonverbal forms of expression are the means a conductor uses to communicate with players. Manual conducting gestures are used to show fundamental technical information relating to tempo, dynamics and cues, as well as demonstrating to a degree, musical expression and conveying an interpretation of the musical work. Body posture can communicate authority, leadership, confidence and inspiration. Furthermore, physical gestures such as facial expressions can express a conductor’s mood and demeanour, as well as the emotional content of the music. Orchestral conducting is thus a complex and multifarious art, at the core of which is gesture. These physical facets of conducting will be examined by way of a case study. The conductor chosen as the centrepiece of this study is Austrian conductor, Carlos Kleiber (1930-2004). Hailed by many as the greatest conductor of all time1, Kleiber was a perfectionist with unscrupulously high standards who enjoyed a career with some of the world’s finest orchestras and opera companies including the Vienna Philharmonic, La Scala, Covent Garden, the Met and the Chicago Symphony.
