Das ‚Hohe Kulturgut Deutscher Musik' Und Das ‚Entartete'
Das ‚hohe Kulturgut deutscher Musik‘ und das ‚Entartete‘ Über die Problematik des Kulturorchester-Begriffs LUTZ FELBICK Musikwissenschaftler, Aachen Abtract Für die Sicherstellung einer nachhaltigen Musikpflege werden in Deutschland Mittel durch die öffentlichen Haushalte bereitgestellt. Zur Stabilität des Musiklebens tragen weiterhin tarifliche Absicherungen für die Mitglieder von Sinfonieorchestern bei. In größeren Städten werden die kommunalen Mittel für Musikförderung vor allem für diese Klangkörper eingesetzt, die schwerpunktmäßig die großen Orchesterwerke des 19. Jahrhunderts aufführen. Die existenzielle Absicherung von anderen Kulturschaf- fenden, die sich z. B. der großen Bandbreite früherer Musikepochen oder der musi- kalischen Vielfalt des 20./21. Jahrhunderts inklusive des Jazz widmen, spielt in der Kulturpolitik eine untergeordnete Rolle. Ein wichtiger historischer Meilenstein für die Entwicklung dieses kulturpolitischen Profils ist in der Etablierung des deutschen ‚Kul- turorchestersystems‘ zu suchen, welches seit 1938 kontinuierlich ausgebaut wurde. In diesem Beitrag wird die Begriffsgeschichte des ‚Kulturorchesters‘ skizziert. Die- ser Abgrenzungsbegriff wurde während der Amtszeit des Präsidenten der Reichsmusik- kammer, Peter Raabe, zum rechtlichen Terminus erhoben. Der Ausdruck impliziert den damaligen Kulturbegriff, insbesondere die musikideologischen Anschauungen Raabes. Angesichts dieses historischen Befundes kommt die Studie zu dem Ergebnis, der Begriff des ‚Kulturorchesters‘ sei nicht mehr tragbar. Die Analyse führt -

What place did foreign musical performers have in Germany’s increasingly xenophobic employment market during the 1930s? Likewise, how did the Nazis deal with those musicians, and what margin of manoeuvre were foreigners given to carry out their craft? These are the questions that form the basis of this thesis. To answer them, I examine a collection of primary Reichsmusikkammer (Reich Music Chamber) records that are now held on microfilm in the United States National Archives, grouped under the description “Auftrittsgenehmigungen für Ausländer” (Performance Permits for Foreigners; specifically musicians). -
Musicians Who Kept It Quiet During World War II
Musicians who kept it quiet during World War II • Shirley Apthorp From: The Australian November 19, 2011 12:00AM The Spivakovsky-Kurtz trio, from left, Tossy and Jascha Spivakovsky and Edmund Kurtz. Source: Supplied German musicologist and music critic Albrecht Dumling. Picture: Ana Pinto Source: Supplied THE invitation to bomb Berlin caught Albrecht Dumling by surprise. The German musicologist was not being collared by militant extremists in a dark pub. He was visiting the Australian War Memorial in Canberra. There is an exhibit of a Royal Air Force bomber plane with an interactive button to simulate bombing Berlin. "It's like an adventure toy," Dumling recalls. "It felt very strange to be prompted to drop bombs on Berlin. I didn't." Instead, he wrote a book. Vanished Musicians: Jewish Refugees in Australia has just been published by the Bohlau Verlag in Germany. It contains many shocking revelations about a largely forgotten side of Australia's cultural past. Questioning the way history is presented is one of Dumling's chief preoccupations. He was in Canberra to sift through the National Archives, looking into what really happened to Jewish musicians whose flight from Nazi terror brought them to Australia. Today, it is tempting to imagine Australia as a safe haven, where the unjustly persecuted could begin again. The reality was different. Australia was not eager to accept Jewish immigrants. At the Evian Conference of 1938, Australia's trade and customs minister Thomas White, pleading against large-scale Jewish immigration, declared that "as we have no real racial problem, we are not desirous of importing one". -

Music and Politics in Hitler's Germany
Music and Politics in Hitler’s Germany In the years 1933-1945, Hitler’s Nazi Party [National Socialist Democratic Workers Party / NSDAP] used music as a tool to forge political unity among Germans. Hitler and the senior NSDAP leadership instinctively grasped that among the arts, music was the most readily laden with ideology, and could inculcate both the youth and the masses with state-serving Bildung.1 Nazi music education, promoted heavily by and among the Hitler Youth, expanded along with concerns of “cultural Bolshevism,” and served as a counterpoint to “degenerate music.”2 Once in power, Hitler moved to purge music and music scholarship of Jews in an effort to promote the unique origin myths of the German Volk and further saturate citizens with racial theories. In keeping with origin myths and racialism were the Romantic works of the composer Richard Wagner, a prominent anti-Semite who would assume supreme musical status in Hitler’s Germany.3 In such a personalized regime as Hitler’s, the dictator’s tastes virtually defined official aesthetic norms.4 Throughout the period of Hitler’s chancellorship, the musical bureaucracy of the NSDAP would struggle to balance the tensions between art music (symbolized by Wagner) and popular demand for music such as jazz. These very tensions were also reflected in the musical policies of the German occupation of Eastern Europe and Soviet Russia, an occupation which simultaneously plundered antique musical treasures and brought about demand for popular fare behind the lines. Ultimately the adoring songs of the soldiers – many of them graduates of the Hitler Youth -- would transform into a dirge. -

Despite a battery of operatic transcriptions and a storied variation set on Bellini’s ‘Suoni la tromba’ (I puritani), his only completed opera, Don Sanche (1825), is typically classed as an unsuccessful juvenile work of dubious authorship.1 All other planned operas of the 1840s and 1850s remained the embryos of ambition, including Richard of Palestine (Walter Scott), Le corsaire (Byron/Dumas), Consuelo (George Sand), Jankó (Karl Beck), Spartacus (Oscar Wolff), Marguerite (Goethe),2 Divina commedia (Dante/Autran), Email: [email protected] While preparing this article I have accrued a number of debts. -
