Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book Edward Reilly provides the essential documents connected with the friendship between the eminent Viennese music-historian Guido Adler and the composer Gustav Mahler. The nature and extent of that friendship has been the source of a number of questions for some years. Although Adler was the author of one of the important early studies of Mahler, he was reticent about speaking of his personal connection with the composer, and for many years the single available published letter from Mahler to Adler was one that was sharply critical in tone. A few somewhat disparaging references in Alma Mahler's recollections also raised questions about the degree of friendship between the two men.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este libro no sólo cuenta la maravillosa trayectoria de un músico que, nacido en una oscura ciudad de Bohemia, llegó a convertirse en director de la Orquesta Filarmónica de Nueva York. Además, relata una página fundamental de la historia de la cultura, la de la música a comienzos del siglo xx en la Europa central y, sobre todo, en Viena. Durante sus diez años como director artístico de la Ópera de la capital austríaca, Mahler suscitó entusiasmo y controversias apasionadas. Su matrimonio con Alma Schindler y los dramas de su vida familiar contribuyeron a su celebridad. Su obra –arraigada en las postrimerías del romanticismo pero destinada a desbrozar el camino de un nuevo lenguaje musical– y el prestigio de su persona lo convirtieron en una figura mayor de una ciudad como Viena, auténtico crisol de unas transformaciones artísticas e intelectuales que todavía hoy no dejan de fascinarnos. La publicación, entre 1979 y 1984, de los tres volúmenes que constituyen la gran biografía dedicada por Henry-Louis de La Grange a Gustav Mahler, supuso un auténtico acontecimiento, que contribuyó a revelar a un genio de la música con una vida fascinante y conmovedora, que aspiraba a que su obra reflejara «la creación entera» y que se convirtió en «un instrumento del universo». La necesidad de facilitar el acceso del mayor número posible de personas a tan magna empresa llevó a realizar una edición más breve que, sin ser esquemática, resumiera lo esencial de las casi cuatro mil páginas originales. El resultado lo tiene el lector entre sus manos: sin lugar a dudas, la biografía definitiva de uno de los compositores fundamentales de la historia de la música.
Download or read book Gustav Mahler written by Alfred Mathis-Rosenzweig and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-05-08 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alfred Mathis-Rosenzweig (1897-1948) was a Viennese musicologist and critic who studied at the universities of Budapest and Vienna. From 1933 he embarked on producing a large-scale study of Mahler but at the time of his death the manuscript was left unfinished. Although it was presumed lost until 1997, the unfinished typescript, written in German, had been deposited in the library of the Guildhall School of Music & Drama. In 2003, the School‘s Research Centre commissioned Jeremy Barham to prepare the first published edition of this important work, and his annotations and commentary add invaluable material to his translation of this historic document. Biographical material is used as a loose framework and platform for Mathis-Rosenzweig‘s profound examination of the environment within which Mahler‘s earlier music was embedded. This is an environment in which Wagner, Bruckner and Wolf feature prominently, and in which Mahler‘s music is viewed from the wider perspective of nineteenth-century German cultural domination and the subsequent rise of political extremism in the form of Hitlerite fascism.

Download or read book Gustav Mahler Song Symphonist written by Gabriel Engel and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2022-09-15 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gustav Mahler by Gabriel Engel is an excellent biographical tribute to the Austro-Bohemian Romantic composer. Mahler was one of the leading conductors of his generation. As a composer, he acted as a bridge between the 19th-century Austro-German tradition and the modernism of the early 20th century. Excerpt: "The utmost efforts of the studious countryman, Bernhard Mahler of Kalischt, Bohemia, to better himself had netted him after many discouraging years only the modest dignity of a rustic private-tutor."

Download or read book Mahler written by Jonathan Carr and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The focus is on Mahler's last decade, his tempestuous marriage to the alluring Alma Schindler, his work as a "summer composer" in isolated huts in the country, his revolutionary achievements as director of the Vienna opera and his final years in America. But it sets the stage by looking into Mahler's earlier career as a talented, ambitious, and often ruthless conductor.In her memoirs Alma drew Mahler as a sickly, cerebral recluse. Arnold Schoenberg called him a "saint." Leonard Bernstein, largely responsible for the Mahler "boom" in the Sixties, found a "secret shame" at the heart of Mahler's music, "the shame of being a Jew and the shame of being ashamed." Jonathan Carr looks behind these myths, and using letters, diaries, and other material hitherto unavailable in English, he brilliantly challenges some of the most widely held assumptions about Mahler.
Download or read book Mahler Studies written by Stephen E. Hefling and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1997-02-06 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mahler Studies comprises ten innovative essays on topics spanning the range of Mahler research. Blaukopf's inquiry into critical influences on Mahler's student years provides background for Reilly's reassessment of sources for 'Opus 1', Das klagende Lied. McClatchie introduces Mahler's previously inaccessible correspondence with family members, while Feder presents insightful psychoanalytic perspectives on Mahler's relationships to his sister Justine and other women in his life before Alma. Mitchell and La Grange explore the complex issue of quotation and allusion in Mahler's oeuvre. The long-restricted Seventh Symphony sketchbook provides detailed glimpses of that Mahlerian 'world' emerging in its earliest stages, as documented by Hefling. Issues of tonal structure and coherence are addressed by Agawu and Williamson, while Franklin on Adorno's Mahler provides a clear explication of that author's dialectic engagement with the composer.
