Abstract:

Abstract This article argues for a number of hitherto unrecognized continuities——stylistic, aesthetic, and ideological——between Beethoven's marginalized ““political music”” from the period of the Congress of Vienna and his canonical symphonic works. It rereads his œœuvre against the background of the popularity and ubiquity of the ““Handelian sublime”” in early-nineteenth-century Viennese public life——that is, the aesthetics and social practice of grand choral singing, associated primarily with some of Handel's oratorios, but also with the late choral works of Haydn.

Abstract:

Trombone is an important brass instrument and plays an important role in modern symphony orchestra. Trombone is different from other brass instruments. In the history of the development of western Musical Instruments, the shape and playing mode of trombone have hardly changed. However, the position of the trombone in Beethoven's previous symphonies was radically different. Beethoven is recognized as the first composer to bring the trombone from sacred to secular music. This article will list three symphonies composed by Beethoven that include the trombone. Through the research of the creation

Abstract:

While Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony exhibits the underlying four-movement framework and other familiar hallmarks of eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century symphonies, in other respects it more closely resembles programmatic symphonies of the same period, particularly in the continuity between its concluding movements and the unusual structure of its storm. Its mixture of symphonic and programmatic practices serves to dramatize the effects of time on pastoral idylls and the role of morality therein. The work can be interpreted as a confrontation with these fundamentally human issues rather th

Abstract:

Late nineteenth-century journalistic criticism in Vienna offers many precedents for Paul Bekker's interpretation of the symphony. Beethoven's symphonies provided the model for an aesthetics of the genre-couched in metaphors connecting it to "the people"-that motivated the reception of works by Brahms and Bruckner. Activists who wished to inaugurate symphonic Volksconcerte in the city took the figurative utopian function of the genre literally. Though their efforts were confounded not only by institutionalized elitism but also by the preferences of the Viennese Volk for other kinds of music, th

Abstract:

This article examines the communicative and interpretive significance of melodic embellishment in Beethoven's oeuvre, with a particular focus on multi-movement instrumental works from the period 1795–1824. Embellishment has received comparatively little attention in Beethoven studies; yet it formed a crucial part of his musicianship as both a performer and a composer. The article begins with a broad overview of Beethoven's embellishment practices, drawing examples primarily from his early piano trios and piano sonatas. It then goes on to examine a series of issues in more detail: first, the ro

Abstract:

Owen Jander's recent observation that the concluding birdcalls in the second movement of Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony reproduce the opening motive of his Fifth provides a starting point for considering the two symphonies together. Evidence derived from analysis, sketches, and compositional-biographical circumstances is used to establish and illuminate a process of modeling in which the Sixth Symphony adopts the procedural innovations of the Fifth while inverting their affective impact. Possible rationales for this modeling include Beethoven's preoccupation with transmutational variation and h

The reception history of Ludwig van Beethoven's symphonies in America offers striking evidence of multiple, previously unidentified, Continental and English connections to the musical thought of John Sullivan Dwight (1813–93), the first American-born critic of art music, and therefore to early American conceptions of the symphony in the 1840s. These direct links illuminate the history and criticism of the first performance in America of Beethoven's Symphony no. 9 in D minor, op. 125, which took place in New York in 1846.

During most part of Western classical music history, tempo, the speed of music, was not specified, for it was considered obvious from musical context. Only in 1815, Maelzel patented the metronome. Beethoven immediately embraced it, so much as to add tempo marks to his already published eight symphonies. However, these marks are still under dispute, as many musicians consider them too quick to be played and even unmusical, whereas others claim them as Bethoven’s supposedly written will.

We should add, however, that during the first half of the nineteenth century, no professional symphonic orchestra and choir existed in Pest-Buda that would have coped with the task.

While a thoroughly individual, music-as-process modernism imbues all he wrote, the prevailing image of Simpson is that of the conservative classicist, clinging to the apparent certainties of antiquated forms and diatonic tonality – a view that begins to some extent with the composer himself.

Nietzsche in particular develops an incisive critique of this kind of monumentality, which he links with a historiographic model of what he calls "monumental history."

Abstract:

This article explores the treatment of space in Gustav Mahler's First Symphony from the perspective of the composer's experience as a conductor of opera. It considers the ‘theatrically’ located offstage utterances in the work's introduction in light of passages from Beethoven's Fidelio (Act 2, scene ii) and Tristan und Isolde (Act 2, scene ii), and against the backdrop of Mahler's controversial attempt to assign the Alla marcia section from the Finale of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony to a small offstage orchestra. By considering in turn the implications of Mahler's treatment of offstage space on

Статья приурочена к 135-летнему юбилею со дня рождения русского танцовщика, хореографа, педагога Федора Васильевича Лопухова (1886-1973). В работе представлен круг вопросов, связанных с разработкой танцсимфонии - нового музыкально-пластического жанра балетного театра XX века. Лопухов сформулировал теоретические положения танцсимфонии, выразившиеся в обращении к «чистому» жанру симфонии, свободной работе хореографов с музыкой сонатно-симфонического цикла, идее бессюжетного балета. Эти принципы найдут оригинальное воплощение в спектаклях последователей Лопухова, выдающихся танцовщиков-балетмейст

Abstract:

During 1814-15 Beethoven sketched the first movement of a piano concerto, writing out a considerable proportion of it in full score. Some of the curious stylistic features that have been ascribed to this movement are the consequence of a faulty reading of MS Artaria 184, in which open-score sketches have been bound in with the autograph score. One curious feature, however, remains: the symphonic nature of the materials. There is some reason to believe that, because of this, Beethoven considered deleting the tutti exposition, resulting in a symphonic work with obbligato piano. Such indecision a

Abstract:

Классик чешской музыки ХХ века Богуслав Мартину создал свою стилевую концепцию в опоре на национальную и общеевропейскую традиции искусства; одной из отправных точек его творчества, содержащего прозрения в будущее, послужило наследие Людвига ван Бетховена, особенно его поздние произведения. Воздействие музыканта такого масштаба, как Бетховен, на творчество Богуслава Мартину в данной статье рассматривается в трех аспектах: героико-драматическая и лирико-жанровая концепции симфонизма как основа музыкальной драматургии; феномен позднего стиля; «звездное небо над нами и нравственный закон внутри н

Abstract:

In Wagners Zürcher Reformschriften wird Beethoven mehrfach mit Christoph Columbus verglichen, da er sich weiter als jeder andere auf das "Meer" der absoluten Musik vorgewagt und schliesslich - im Finalsatz der Neunten Symphonie - gegen seinen Plan das Amerika der Kunst entdeckt habe: die erneute Verbindung von Wort und Ton als Voraussetzung für das zukünftige Musikdrama. Die kuriose Metaphorik, mit der Wagner seine Idee vom Fortgang der Musikgeschichte sprachlich gestaltet, lässt sich auf eine frühe Komposition beziehen, die vor diesem Hintergrund als das eigentliche Schlüsselwerk für die Argu

Abstract:

In the past ten years a remarkable change has come over Brian Elias. He has turned from being a miniaturist to being a composer on a symphonic scale and with symphonic aspirations. Not that he has written any work with so self-conscious a title as ‘symphony’ – at least, not yet. But in these few years he has given us two extended cycles for voice and symphony orchestra, a large-scale single-movement orchestral work that must certainly be called symphonic, a set of 49 Variations for piano inspired by Beethoven's set of 32 in C minor, and now an orchestral ballet in progress for Kenneth Macmilla
