Download or read book Mendelssohn and His World written by R. Larry Todd and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2012-01-16 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 1830s and 1840s the remarkably versatile composer-pianist-organist-conductor Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy stood at the forefront of German and English musical life. Bringing together previously unpublished essays by historians and musicologists, reflections on Mendelssohn written by his contemporaries, the composer's own letters, and early critical reviews of his music, this volume explores various facets of Mendelssohn's music, his social and intellectual circles, and his career. The essays in Part I cover the nature of a Jewish identity in Mendelssohn's music (Leon Botstein); his relationship to the Berlin Singakademie (William A. Little); the role of his sister Fanny Hensel, herself a child prodigy and accomplished composer (Nancy Reich); Mendelssohn's compositional craft in the Italian Symphony and selected concert overtures (Claudio Spies); his oratorio Elijah (Martin Staehelin); his incidental music to Sophocles' Antigone (Michael P. Steinberg); his anthem "Why, O Lord, delay forever?" (David Brodbeck); and an unfinished piano sonata (R. Larry Todd). Part II presents little-known memoirs by such contemporaries as J. C. Lobe, A. B. Marx, Julius Schubring, C. E. Horsley, Max Mller, and Betty Pistor. Mendelssohn's letters are represented in Part III by his correspondence with Wilhelm von Boguslawski and Aloys Fuchs, here translated for the first time. Part IV contains late nineteenth-century critical reviews by Heinrich Heine, Franz Brendel, Friedrich Niecks, Otto Jahn, and Hans von Blow.

Book Synopsis Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy by : Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy
Download or read book Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy written by Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy and published by Reichert Verlag. This book was released on 1997 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: English summary: Like many before and perhaps even many more after him, the young Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy saw in Italy the country of the greatest joy of living. In his letters that he wrote home to his family in Berlin from Venice, and even more in the ones from Rome, he was full of enthusiasm. It is therefore only natural that the composer soon went about writing a symphony. How far he had got with the symphony during his journey to Italy in the winter of 1830/1831 is not known, as no musical manuscripts have survived from this period. What has survived is the autograph score of the A-major symphony (later to be called the "Italian" symphony), written down from January to April 1833 in Berlin. It was used for the premiere of the symphony on 13 May 1833 and served as the basis for the posthumously published first edition; it transmits the reading by which the symphony has been known until today.It is little known that Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy worked on the symphony again in 1834, revising the movements II to IV, partly with substantial changes. He left out the first movement - he thought that he would have to rewrite it altogether and shied away from doing so. Thus, the second score - which is now held in the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin - Preussischer Kulturbesitz, together with the 1833 autograph - remained unfinished. Additional fragments have survived, which belong to the autograph score of 1833; the composer had taken them out of his autograph during a major revision in March/April 1833 (i.e., before the premiere). German description: Wie viele vor und nach ihm sah der junge Mendelssohn Bartholdy in Italien das Land der grossten Lebensfreude. Von Italien fasziniert, beschaftigte er sich bald mit entsprechenden Symphonie-Planen. Wie weit er allerdings mit der Ausfuhrung wahrend seiner Italienreise kam, weiss man nicht, da keine Aufzeichnungen daruber uberliefert sind. Erhalten ist die Partitur der spater als "Italienische" bezeichneten Symphonie in A-dur, die er vom Januar bis zum April 1833 in Berlin niederschrieb und nach der das Werk in London am 13. Mai 1833 zum erstenmal erklang. Sie ist auch Grundlage der gedruckten Ausgabe geworden, nach der die Symphonie bis heute aufgefuhrt wird. 1834 beschaftigte sich Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy noch einmal mit seinem Werk und schrieb den zweiten bis vierten Satz neu nieder - nun aber mit zum Teil tiefgreifenden Veranderungen, wobei der erste Satz ausgespart blieb. Er glaubte, dass er ihn wohl ganz neu wurde komponieren mussen, und davor war er zuruckgeschreckt. So blieb diese zweite Niederschrift, die sich zusammen mit dem Autograph von 1833 im Besitz der Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin-Preussischer Kulturbesitz befindet, unvollendet. Erhalten sind ausserdem aus der Partitur von 1833 einige Bruchstucke, die der Komponist noch vor der Urauffuhrung aus seinem Autograph bei einer Revision im Marz/April 1833 herausgenommen hatte. Die Publikation besteht aus drei Teilen: der vollstandigen Partitur von 1833; den ausgesonderten elf Partitur-Blattern, die nach ihrem heutigen Aufbewahrungsort als "Oxforder Fragmente" bezeichnet werden; der Partitur der Satze 2 bis 4 von 1834. Die Edition ermoglicht einen Einblick in Mendelssohns Kompositionstechnik, lasst Ruckschlusse auf seine asthetischen Anschauungen zu und ist fur Uberlegungen zu seinem musikalischen Stil von grundlegender Bedeutung.

Download or read book Mozart written by Jan Swafford and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2020-12-08 with total page 832 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the acclaimed composer and biographer Jan Swafford comes the definitive biography of one of the most lauded musical geniuses in history, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. At the earliest ages it was apparent that Wolfgang Mozart’s singular imagination was at work in every direction. He hated to be bored and hated to be idle, and through his life he responded to these threats with a repertoire of antidotes mental and physical. Whether in his rabidly obscene mode or not, Mozart was always hilarious. He went at every piece of his life, and perhaps most notably his social life, with tremendous gusto. His circle of friends and patrons was wide, encompassing anyone who appealed to his boundless appetites for music and all things pleasurable and fun. Mozart was known to be an inexplicable force of nature who could rise from a luminous improvisation at the keyboard to a leap over the furniture. He was forever drumming on things, tapping his feet, jabbering away, but who could grasp your hand and look at you with a profound, searching, and melancholy look in his blue eyes. Even in company there was often an air about Mozart of being not quite there. It was as if he lived onstage and off simultaneously, a character in life’s tragicomedy but also outside of it watching, studying, gathering material for the fabric of his art. Like Jan Swafford’s biographies Beethoven and Johannes Brahms, Mozart is the complete exhumation of a genius in his life and ours: a man who would enrich the world with his talent for centuries to come and who would immeasurably shape classical music. As Swafford reveals, it’s nearly impossible to understand classical music’s origins and indeed its evolutions, as well as the Baroque period, without studying the man himself.

Book Synopsis Rethinking Mendelssohn by : Benedict Taylor Ph.D.
Download or read book Rethinking Mendelssohn written by Benedict Taylor Ph.D. and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-04-15 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As one of the foremost composers, conductors, and pianists of the nineteenth century, Felix Mendelssohn played a fundamental role in the shaping of modern musical tastes through his contributions to the early music revival and the formation of the Austro-German musical canon. His career allows for a remarkable meeting point for critical engagement with a host of crucial issues in the last two centuries of music history, including the relation between musical meaning and social function, programmatic and absolute music, notions of classicism and Romanticism, modernism and historicism. It also serves as a pertinent case-study of the roles political ideology, racism, and musical ignorance may play in creating and perpetuating a composer's posthumous reception. Fittingly, Rethinking Mendelssohn focuses on critical engagement with the composer's music and aesthetics, and on the interpretation of his works in relation to contemporaneous culture. Building on the renaissance in Mendelssohn scholarship of the last two decades, Rethinking Mendelssohn sets a fresh and exciting tone for research on the composer. Opening new ways of understanding Mendelssohn and setting the future direction of Mendelssohn studies, the contributing scholars pay particular attention to Mendelssohn's contested views on the relationship between art and religion, analysis of Mendelssohn's instrumental music in the wake of recent controversies in Formenlehre, and the burgeoning interest in his previously neglected contribution to the German song.

Download or read book And After the Fire written by Lauren Belfer and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2016-05-03 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: National Jewish Book Award Winner The New York Times bestselling author of A Fierce Radiance and City of Light returns with a powerful and passionate novel—inspired by historical events—about two women, one European and one American, and the mysterious choral masterpiece by Johann Sebastian Bach that changes both their lives. In the ruins of Germany in 1945, at the end of World War II, American soldier Henry Sachs takes a souvenir, an old music manuscript, from a seemingly deserted mansion and mistakenly kills the girl who tries to stop him. In America in 2010, Henry’s niece, Susanna Kessler, struggles to rebuild her life after she experiences a devastating act of violence on the streets of New York City. When Henry dies soon after, she uncovers the long-hidden music manuscript. She becomes determined to discover what it is and to return it to its rightful owner, a journey that will challenge her preconceptions about herself and her family’s history—and also offer her an opportunity to finally make peace with the past. In Berlin, Germany, in 1783, amid the city’s glittering salons where aristocrats and commoners, Christians and Jews, mingle freely despite simmering anti-Semitism, Sara Itzig Levy, a renowned musician, conceals the manuscript of an anti-Jewish cantata by Johann Sebastian Bach, an unsettling gift to her from Bach’s son, her teacher. This work and its disturbing message will haunt Sara and her family for generations to come. Interweaving the stories of Susanna and Sara, and their families, And After the Fire traverses over two hundred years of history, from the eighteenth century through the Holocaust and into today, seamlessly melding past and present, real and imagined. Lauren Belfer’s deeply researched, evocative, and compelling narrative resonates with emotion and immediacy.
