Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Letters of a Leipzig Cantor, Vol. 1: Being the Letters of Moritz Hauptmann to Franz Hauser, Ludwig Spohr, and Other Musicians Brought up as he was for an architect, early and accurate training had familiarised him with the laws of construction. He had many of the qualifications of a great critic, main taining his independence of thought in the midst of various and conflicting Opinions. He was no indiscriminate wor shipper of Handel, and thought it aflectafion to admire unreservedly the songs in Sebastian Bach's famous Mass. Yet a certain innate conservatism blinded him to the obvious tendencies of the age; it was long before he recognized the full significance of Beethoven, and he abhorred Wagner. On the other hand, he sturdily defended Berlioz at a time when Berlioz stood in need of defenders, and he was one of the first to appreciate the genius of Schumann. He left behind him the memory of an unblemished existence, consecrated with pure devotion to the best interests of Art.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Letters of a Leipzig Cantor, Vol. 2: Being the Letters of Moritz Hauptmann to Franz Hauser, Ludwig Spohr, and Other Musicians The local paper makes a good deal of my installation; there is a biographical sketch too, but I have not yet seen it. In strictness, I ought to have made a Latin speech; Weinlig did, so I am the first to distinguish myself by shirking the law. The Rector, however, harangued in German for nearly five quarters of an hour - very fine, I daresay, but I don't grudge him the gift I shouldn't care about anything, if I could only play the piano. Pianists are as plentiful as mushrooms. I don't know how they manage it, unless they are born to it. We had better resign ourselves once for all, as a certain person says, however hard it may be; it is better than a fit of despair every other day. But no! We all think we ought to be able to do it, because so many can do it - and that's a great mistake It is not the want of time, it is the want of concentra tion; one has too many things in one's head, to be able to attend to the mechanical exercise for a short time it's right enough, then away go the thoughts, and the fingers err and stray like lost sheep. It causes a twofold evil in my case, - di.rectly, as I can't get on; indirectly, as my pupils see that I can't get on. I am like a bad rider, who can't keep his own seat, and yet has to drive a four-in-hand. What is it to them, that the fellow may be able to do something else besides riding All they want is a good equestrian. One thing I am very sure of, and that is, that if all does not go smoothly, I shall anticipate my conge. Cemere mundum, cernere se ipsum, cernere se cerni. I believe I am quoting Spinoza; the last two phrases, in some measure, apply to me. Perhaps excess of energy as a theorist does hinder my practical effectiveness.

This book was released on 2013-09 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1892 edition. Excerpt: ... Spohr is writing an oratorio, The Last Judgment. The text is an arrangement by Eochlitz of passages from the Apocalypse, and very grand and beautiful. The First Part, which Spohr has now finished, was given (the Overture excepted) last St. Cecilia's Day, with pianoforte accompaniment. The music is very fine; it begins rather tamely, but you do not feel this afterwards, when he has warmed to his subject. On the whole, I think it only too modern. The style is beautiful and noble; yet here and there it reminds one of one's own age, whereas, if one looks at the majestic words, "they are not of an age, but for all time." However, you know as well as I do what Spohr thinks of such poetry; he thinks it crude, and excusable only on account of the crudity of the age in which the writers lived. Would it ever occur to one of our brilliant young poets, such as G-. Doering or Gehe, to say, "The sword goeth out of the streets, and hunger dwelleth in the houses?" No, certainly not. The crudity might perhaps be given as a second reason; but the first would be, because anything so great and powerful would never enter the minds of those tame geniuses. Besides the First Part of the Oratorio, we had, that same evening, Spohr's Hymn to St. Cecilia, choruses from Judas Maccabceus, and the Kyrie and Gloria from my Mass, sung without accompaniment. Everything went off very well. Leopoldine Blahetka gave a concert here a short time ago. She is a dear girl--a rose among dandelions and daisies. If she should come to Dresden, please do all you can for her. I might have given her a letter to you, but why should I? Nature has recommended her to every one that loves beauty. I have often heard her play; it was so beautiful, that I never for one moment remembered the...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leipzig, Germany, is renowned as the city where Johann Sebastian Bach worked as a church musician until his death in 1750, and where Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy directed the famed Gewandhaus orchestra until his own death in 1847. But the century in between these events was critically important as well. During this period, Leipzig's church music enterprise was convulsed by repeated external threats-a growing middle class that viewed music as an object of public consumption, religious and political tumult, and the chaos of the Seven Years and Napoleonic wars. Jeffrey S. Sposato's Leipzig After Bach examines how these forces changed church and concert life in Leipzig. Whereas most European cities saw their public concerts grow out of secular institutions such as a royal court or an opera theater, neither of these existed when Leipzig's first subscription concert series, the Grosse Concert, was started in 1743. Instead, the city had a thriving Lutheran church-music enterprise that had been brought to its zenith by Bach. Paid subscription concerts therefore found their roots in Leipzig's church music tradition, with important and unique results. These included a revolving door between the Thomaskantor position and the Gewandhaus directorship, as well as public concerts with a distinctly sacred flavor. Late in the century, as church attendance faltered and demand for subscription concerts rose, the Gewandhaus dominated the musical life of Leipzig, influencing church music programming in turn. Examining liturgical documents, orchestral programs, and dozens of unpublished works of church and concert music, Leipzig After Bach sheds new light on a century that redefined the relationship between sacred and secular musical institutions.

Download or read book The Cambridge Companion to Conducting written by José Antonio Bowen and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-11-20 with total page 585 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this wide-ranging inside view of the history and practice of conducting, analysis and advice comes directly from working conductors, including Sir Charles Mackerras on opera, Bramwell Tovey on being an Artistic Director, Martyn Brabbins on modern music, Leon Botstein on programming and Vance George on choral conducting, and from those who work closely with conductors: a leading violinist describes working as a soloist with Stokowski, Ormandy and Barbirolli, while Solti and Abbado's studio producer explains orchestral recording, and one of the world's most powerful managers tells all. The book includes advice on how to conduct different types of groups (choral, opera, symphony, early music) and provides a substantial history of conducting as a study of national traditions. It is an unusually honest book about a secretive industry and managers, artistic directors, soloists, players and conductors openly discuss their different perspectives for the first time.
