In 1945 there was no real "zeto hour" in which something ended and something completely different began'l In west Germany, due to the failule of Allied denazification programs, much of the old political structure remained intact and cultural elites that had held prominent positions in the Nazi years retained power and influence. Nevertheless, fascism came to an end under the guidance of the Allies, and the Gemans in the western zones elected a parliame'taly democracy while retaini'g a capitalist economy. The fundamental question I address in this thesis concerns the shifting of German national identities. Music, both classicai and folk, has played a significant role in defining German national identity, and German musicologists have historically had a large influence on Germans' musical self-understanding. Tluough an examination of the published worlcs of folksong musicologists in this era of transition, I investigate the ways in which German selÊunderstanding changed. I argue that postwar folksong scholars interpreted the national significance of the folksong in ways that reflected their own personal adjustments to life in Nazi Germany and in the FRG. I' particular, I describe how postwar musicoiogical claims to identifying the existence of a European folk cultule offered intellectual support for the'west German govemment's policies of European economic and cultu'al integration during the first decades of trre cord war..

In fact, assefiions of German musical superiority survived in a number of postwar writings, and some musicologists continued to pursue a politics of cultural imperialism. Thus, my study postwar on musicologists tells a cornplicated stor.y of continuity and change. The lives and writings of these schorars help us to gain insight into the ways in which Germans maintained and altered the boundaries and the character of their musically- imagined nationar communities befween the r930s and the r970s.z The Musicoloeists To explore this topic, I chose to examine the w'itings of a group of musicologists whose works have been largely neglected in studies of German national identity and nationalism' The study of folksongs has been predominantly the domain of comparative musicologists' or ethnoffrusicologists, and many of the scholars I discuss in this thesis worked in this particular f,reld of musicology. with them, folklorists, folkso'g collectors, and scholars of various disciplinary stripes formed a professional community who fi'equently referred to each other's research and occasionally engaged in dialogues. Most of these music scholars had started their careers during the Nazi era or even before, and they continued their scholarly activities in the postwar decades. Indeed, it is precisely the fact that so many scholars who were emproyed in Nazi-sponsored projects quickry t I adopted the concept of a musically imagined community, itself notion of imagined derived from Benedict Anderson,s corununities-(seË urro!ãg. oftihis Born and ,ìtnt ry.lve i"t from Georgina Born.

  • Savage and Brown Final Except Pp
    Toward a New Comparative Musicology Patrick E. Savage and Steven Brown omparative musicology is the academic discipline devoted to the comparative C study of music. It looks at music (broadly defined) in all of its forms across all cultures throughout time, including related phenomena in language, dance, and animal communication. As with its sister discipline of comparative linguistics, comparative musicology seeks to classify the musics of the world into stylistic families, describe the geographic distribution of these styles, elucidate universal trends in musics across cultures, and understand the causes and mechanisms shaping the biological and cultural evolution of music. While most definitions of comparative musicology put forward over the years have been limited to the study of folk and/or non-Western musics (Merriam 1977), we envision this field as an inclusive discipline devoted to the comparative study of all music, just as the name implies. The intellectual and political history of comparative musicology and its modern- day successor, ethnomusicology, is too complex to review here. It has been detailed in a number of key publications—most notably by Merriam (1964, 1977, 1982) and Nettl (2005; Nettl and Bohlman 1991)—and succinctly summarized by Toner (2007). Comparative musicology flourished during the first half of the twentieth century, and was predicated on the notion that the cross-cultural analysis of musics could shed light on fundamental questions about human evolution. But after World War II—and in large part because of it—a new field called ethnomusicology emerged in the United States based on Toward a New Comparative Musicology the paradigms of cultural anthropology.

IJEA Vol. 14 Special Issue 1.3 - http://www.ijea.org/v14si1/ 2 Introduction Ethnomusicology, the field in which I've spent most of my life, is an unpronounceable interdisciplinary field whose denizens have trouble agreeing on its definition. I'll just call it the study of the world’s musical cultures from a comparative perspective, and the study of all music from the perspective of anthropology. Now, I have frequently found myself surrounded by colleagues in other fields who wanted me to explain what I'm all about, and so I have tried frequently, and really without much success, to find the right way to do this. Again, not long go, at a dinner, a distinguished physicist and music lover, trying, I think, to wrap his mind around what I was doing, asked me, "What are the great discoveries of your field?" I don't think he was being frivolous, but he saw his field as punctuated by Newton, Einstein, Bardeen, and he wondered whether we had a similar set of paradigms, or perhaps of sacred figures.

DOI 10.1002 /jhbs.20173 © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. BOOK REVIEWS D. Brett King and Michael Wertheimer. Max Wertheimer and Gestalt Theory. New Brunswick, NJ, and London: Transaction Publishers, 2005. 438 pp. $49.95. ISBN: 0- 7658-0258-9. To review this long-awaited volume is a delicate task. Full disclosure up front: I have known and liked Michael Wertheimer for more than 30 years, since I first began my own work on the history of Gestalt theory. I was privileged to work with the Max Wertheimer papers in the mid-1970s, when they were still stored in Michael Wertheimer’s home in Boulder, Colorado. At that time, Michael Wertheimer already planned to write a biography of his father. The finished book, written with the help of D. Brett King, can only be called a labor of love. This is a fascinating, comprehensive, generally well-written, and, above all, warm- hearted volume. The authors make every effort to give both the person and his creation their due. As might be expected, Wertheimer’s family life gets detailed attention. The authors make judicious use of an extended interview with Max Wertheimer’s former wife and Michael Wertheimer’s mother, Anni Wertheimer Hornbostel, and other family documents, including a newspaper “published” by the Wertheimer children. And Michael Wertheimer contributes his own memories of his father, helping to make him come alive on the page. Max Wertheimer’s

As one of the most adventurous com- posers of his generation, Henry Cowell (1897–1965) toured Europe several times before 1933. Traveling to the continent in early June 1923, Cowell played some of his own works in a concert on the ship, and visiting Germany that fall he performed his new piano works in Berlin, Leipzig, and Munich. His compositions, which pioneered the use of chromatic forearm and fist clusters and inside-the-piano (“string piano”) techniques, were “extremely well received and reviewed in Berlin,” a city that, according to the com- poser, “had heard a little more modern music than Leipzig,” where a hos- tile audience started a fistfight on stage.1 A Leipzig critic gave his review a futuristic slant, comparing Cowell’s music to the noisy grind of modern cities; another simply called it noise. Reporting on Cowell’s Berlin concert, Hugo Leichtentritt considered him “the only American representative of musical modernism.” Many writers praised Cowell’s keyboard talents while questioning the music’s quality.2 Such reviews established the tone 8 Beal_Text 12/12/05 5:50 PM Page 9 for the German reception of unconventional American music—usually performed by the composers themselves—that challenged definitions of western art music as well as stylistic conventions and aesthetic boundaries of taste and technique.

This classification system was originally designed for musical instruments and books about instruments, and was first published in German in 1914. Hornbostel-Sachs has dominated organological discourse and practice since its creation, and this article analyses the scheme’s context, background, versions and impact. The position of Hornbostel-Sachs in the history and development of instrument classification is explored. This is followed by a detailed analysis of the mechanics of the scheme, including its decimal notation, the influential broad categories of the scheme, its warrant, and its typographical layout. The version history of the scheme is outlined and the relationships between versions is visualised, including its translations, the introduction of the electrophones category, and the Musical Instruments Museums Online (MIMO) version designed for a digital environment.

    Computational Music Archiving as Physical Culture Theory Prof. Dr. Rolf Bader Institute of Systematic Musicology University of Hamburg Neue Rabenstr. 13, 20354 Hamburg, Germany [email protected] ABSTRACT: The framework of the Computational Music and Sound Archive (COMSAR) is discussed. The aim is to analyze and sort musical pieces of music from all over the world with computational tools. Its analysis is based on Music Information Retrieval (MIR) tools, the sorting algorithms used are Hidden- Markov models and self-organazing Kohonen maps (SOM). Different kinds of systematizations like taxonomies, self-organazing systems as well as bottom-up methods with physiological motivation are discussed, next to the basic signal- processing algorithms. Further implementations include musical instrument ge- ometries with their radiation characteristics as measured by microphone arrays, as well as the vibrational reconstruction of these instruments using physical model- ing. Practically the aim is a search engine for music which is based on musical pa- rameters like pitch, rhythm, tonality, form or timbre using methods close to neu- ronal and physiological mechanisms. Still the concept also suggests a culture the- ory based on physical mechanisms and parameters, and therefore omits specula- tion and theoretical overload. instruments54 as a detailed basis for such a 2 BACKGROUND classification.
