When, on 31 January, 14 mem- ber states of the European Union announced a series of vague bilateral sanctions against Austria, the subject became front page news. Locally, headlines were alarming and stories were brief and occasion- ally distorted. Clearly there was a need for a serious, informative debate to shed light on Austria’s difficulties; therefore, the Center quickly orga- nized a panel discussion, “Austria and the Haider Phenomenon: Democracy, National Identity, and the European The panelists, left to right: Thomas Wolfe, David Good, Helga Leitner, Eric Weitz, and W.

    Nota Bene: Canadian Undergraduate Journal of Musicology Volume 12 | Issue 1 Article 3 Magic and Enlightenment auf der Weisen: Der Stein der Weisen and Die Zauberflöte Mercer Greenwald Bard College Conservatory of Music Recommended Citation Greenwald, Mercer. “Magic and Enlightenment auf der Weisen: Der Stein der Weisen and Die Zaouberflöte.” Nota Bene: Canadian Undergraduate Journal of Musicology Vol. 12, no. 1 (2019): 30-45. https://doi.org/10.5206/notabene.v12i1.8145 Magic and Enlightenment auf der Weisen: Der Stein der Weisen and Die Zauberflöte Abstract This paper probes how the rational and the irrational interact in Enlightenment operatic plots, and explores the effect of this interaction on the Viennese public. To do this, I will investigate the fantastic worlds of two operas premiered by the same opera company, both with libretti written by Emanuel Schikaneder: Der Stein der Weisen oder Die Zauberinsel (1790) and Die Zauberflöte (1791). David J. Buch’s seminal book Magic Flutes and Enchanted Forests (2008) explores the intertextual threads of magical ideas in Der Stein der Weisen and Die Zauberflöte, that is, how librettists and composers translated and reprocessed magical themes. I will draw on Buch’s comparison to show how these intertextual connections can be read for their broad cultural resonances. In this paper, I will first establish the connections between Der Stein der Weisen and Die Zauberflöte in plot and in music. Then I will show how the later opera diverges from its predecessor and discuss how it manages to diminish the polarity of rationality and irrationality considered central to Enlightenment thinking. Ultimately, I argue, Die Zauberflöte facilitates its audience’s access to Enlightenment values by magical means.

  • The House Composers of the Theater Auf Der Wieden in the Time of Mozart (1789-91)1
    The House Composers of the Theater auf der Wieden in the Time of Mozart (1789-91)1 DAVID J. BUCH Some of the most important theatrical music in Europe was produced at the Theater auf der Wieden in suburban Vienna in the years 1789 to 1801. Beginning with the immensely popular Die zween Anton oder der dumme Gärtner aus dem Gebirge in July 1789, Emanuel Schikaneder produced one successful singspiel after another. The most successful of these were quickly staged in other European venues, both in the original German and in translation.2 Yet, until recently, we have known only a single opera from that period, Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte. Because scholars have not studied this repertory,3 a myth of singularity for Mozart’s singspiel has dominated the secondary literature. But Mozart’s opera was in fact the fourth in a series of fairy-tale singspiels based on texts associated with Christoph Martin Wieland. And the music of Mozart’s singspiel is firmly rooted in a unique style developed at the theater by a group of talented composers who interacted with Mozart, both learning from the master and influencing him in turn. Another myth about this theater has also persisted in modern literature, namely, that the music was of an inferior quality and that the performances were rather crude. While there is one derisive review of a performance at the Theater auf der Wieden by a north German commentator in 1793,4 most contemporary reviews were positive, noting a high standard of musical performance. In his unpublished autobiography, Ignaz von Seyfried recalled performances of operas in the early 1790s by Mozart, Süßmayr, Hoffmeister etc., writing that they were performed with rare skill (ungemein artig).

    ___________________________________________________________________________ 2 MUSIKSTUNDE mit Trüb Donnerstag, 20. 9. 2012 „Hölzerne Worte, magische Bretter: Emanuel Schikaneder zum 200. Todestag“ (4) MUSIK: INDIKATIV, NACH CA. ... SEC AUSBLENDEN Emanuel Schikaneders Werkverzeichnis liest sich wie ein deutscher Zeitschriftenladen: „Der Spiegel von Arkadien“, „Der Stern aus Samarkand“, „Die Zeit der Weisen“ - fehlt eigentlich nur noch „Die Bunte von Bethlehem“. Schikaneder hat mit vielen Komponisten zusammengearbeitet, darunter auch mit sich selbst. Alle sind heute vergessen, außer Mozart natürlich. Mit dem jungen Beethoven plante der Prinzipal „Vestas Feuer“, einmal mehr eine raunend-mystische Zauberoper mit komischen Einlagen; aber was Mozart noch inspirierte, sagte dem knorrig-pragmatischen Beethoven nur Bahnhof: Er fing zwar an zu komponieren, brach dann aber ab; und schlug sich lieber später mit der Menschengeschichte „Eleonore“ beziehungsweise „Fidelio“ herum, ganz ohne magisches Tralala. So wurde, nach Mozarts Tod 1791, dessen Schüler und Assistent Franz Xaver Süßmayr zu Schikaneders Hauskomponisten – da bekam dieser immer noch einen Hauch von Mozart, aber nicht dessen mitunter schwer erträgliches Genie. Süßmayr soll im Hause Mozart wirklich „Männchen für alles“ gewesen sein, außer Kompositionsschüler des Meisters: Er kopierte Stimmen, verwaltete sekretarial die Geschäfte des kränkelnden Mozart, blätterte ihm die Noten um, als er in der „Zauberflöte“ das Hammerclavier schlug, und komponierte auf Bitten von Constanze Mozart das Requiem zu Ende, nachdem der alte Hexenmeister verschieden war. Angeblich soll der 25-jährige Süßmayr Constanze auch als Lustknabe gedient haben, aber das ist mehr als zweifelhaft. Gesichert ist, dass Schikaneder sich den Ersatz-Mozart für sein Bibel-Panorama „Moses oder Der Auszug aus Ägypten“ krallte, und danach für den „Spiegel von Arkadien“, erneut ein Potpourri mit Zaubertränken, Opferritualen, Liebesverwirrungen, ausweglosen Situationen und natürlich Happy- End.

  • Mozart's Bawdy Canons, Vulgarity and Debauchery at the Wiednertheater
    Eighteenth-Century Music 13/2, 1–26 © Cambridge University Press, 2016 doi:10.1017/S1478570616000087 mozart’s bawdy canons, vulgarity and 1 debauchery at the wiednertheater 2 Q1 david j. buch 3 ! 4 ABSTRACT 5 Mozart’s bawdy canons and use of scatalogical parlance in his letters have been described as indicative of a 6 personality given to crass expression. Moreover, his association with Emanuel Schikaneder’s supposedly dissolute 7 Theater auf der Wieden, a boisterous venue for German stage works, has been taken as further evidence of 8 his profligate tendencies. A review of the original source materials reveals that these views are apocryphal, 9 originating after Mozart’s death and embellished in nineteenth-century commentary and scholarship. Examples 10 of even raunchier canons, composed by musicians with connections to Mozart, Schikaneder and the Theater auf 11 der Wieden, provide new insight into the genre. An examination of surviving bawdy Viennese canons in their 12 social context, together with a reconsideration of the Mozart family letters and attitudes toward vulgarity in 13 Viennese popular theatre, reveals that lewd expressions on the stage were relatively uncommon in this period, 14 that Mozart’s use of scatalogical language was relatively mild for the time and that accounts of the composer’s 15 debauchery in his last years have little evidentiary basis. 16 ! Milos Forman’s 1984 film Amadeus presents a striking picture of Mozart in Emanuel Schikaneder’s theatrical 16 circle at the Freihaus auf der Wieden, a depiction that has been accepted to a degree in some academic 17 commentary.1 The company appears as a lusty troupe of young actors, musicians and circus-like performers 18 regularly indulging in bacchanals.

Mit schnell produzierbaren Porträts der Wiener Prominenz, Szenen des aktuellen Geschehens und des täglichen Lebens wurde Löschenkohl ein vermögender Mann.

  • Mozart's Operas
    Topics in Operatic Literature: Mozart’s Operas MUHL-M407 (2 credits) / MUHL-M807 (3 credits) Spring semester 2021 Class meetings Tuesdays and Thursdays, 9:30-10:20 Note that this is a synchronous online course. In other words, we will meet on Zoom during the official class period. See below for more details. Prerequisites MUTH M203 (Theory IV) and MUHL M307 (Music History II), or permission of instructor Brief course overview This is a seminar-style study of a single topic in the history of opera. Course may be repeated for credit, as long as topic is different. (University Bulletin) This semester we will be focusing on the operas of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. His mature works (especially the three on which he collaborated with Lorenzo da Ponte) are the first operas to be continually in the performing repertory. We will examine these works in terms of the musical and dramatic conventions of their own time and their reception history. Course objectives By the end of the semester, students should be able (among other things) to: • explain the basic generic and stylistic features of classical opera seria, opera buffa, and Singspiel • explain how Mozart’s seven mature operas both use and play with the conventions of their genres • consider the cultural issues may arise in performing those operas today, given the different values and expectations of audiences in Mozart’s time and ours Students should also become more comfortable reading scholarly literature in music and using basic tools of scholarly research (such as Grove Music Online and RILM), developing skills they can use in other settings.
