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 background of these three works, this paper discusses the trombone and explore the reason why Beethoven used the trombone here. In addition, this paper also briefly lists the position of the trombone in each symphony, and analyzes its functional characteristics, function and status in each Beethoven symphony. Beethoven's influence on the trombone is profound, and this paper hopes to analyze these three symphonies to draw out Beethoven's influence on the use of trombone by later composers.

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. Presenting new archival research into Vienna's politicized choral culture, the article argues that contemporary theorizing about the power of the musical sublime became the theoretical wing of music's changing social status, as it was mobilized by the state during the Napoleonic Wars more than ever before. These new, Handelian contexts for Beethoven's music lead to three conclusions. First, the choral aesthetic background to Beethoven's symphonies has been largely overlooked. With reference to original performance contexts as well as the topical character of Beethoven's symphonies, the article argues that the symphonies are often best understood as orchestral transmutations of the grand Handelian chorus. Against this background, the appearance of an actual chorus in the Ninth might be reconceived as a moment when the genre's aesthetic debt is most apparent, rather than a shocking generic transgression. Second, the distinction, commonly elaborated by Beethoven scholars, between the mere bombast of Beethoven's political compositions and the ““authentic,”” Kantian sublime of human freedom supposedly articulated in his symphonies cannot easily be sustained. Third, the cultural entanglement of choral and symphonic music in Beethoven's Vienna reveals something not only of the political origins but also of the continuing political potency of Beethoven's symphonies. With reference to Althusserian theories of power and subjectivity, the article speculates that the compelling sense of listener subjectivity created by Beethoven's most vaunted symphonic compositions (noted by Scott Burnham) comes about in part through the music's and the listener's transformation of external, choral reflections of political power into internal, symphonic ones——a transformation that leaves its mark on the topical character of the symphonies, which, especially in their most intense moments of subjective engagement, are replete with official topics and gestures: marches, hymns, and fugues. This might explain why the music has so often been heard as simultaneously browbeating and uplifting, authoritarian and liberating.

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. In this work, we develop a methodology to extract and analyze the performed tempi from 36 complete symphonic recordings by different conductors. Our results show that conductor tempo choices reveal a systematic deviation from Beethoven’s marks, which highlights the salience of “correct tempo” as a perceptive phenomenon shaped by cultural context. The hasty nature of these marks could be explained by the metronome’s ambiguous scale reading point, which Beethoven probably misinterpreted.

The article focuses on the concert symphony (fr. symphonie concertante, it. sinfonia concertata) – a classical music form which remains little studied in Russian musicology – as is exemplified in the works of Joseph Haydn and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The study raises three questions crucial for the history and theory of the genre. First, the article analyses the development of ideas about concertante as well as relevant terminology. Reference books and scientific works of the 18th-early 21st centuries provide different points of view on the genre. Some highlight its symphonic nature, while others take a middle position or lean toward its concert-related aspects. Second, the article analyses different models of concert symphonies shaped in different regional traditions. The study has allowed to distinguish two mainstream lines of genre development – German and French (C. Stamitz and A. Stamitz, C. Cannabich, J.B. Davaux, G. Cambini, F. J. Gossec, and others), and Austrian (J. Haydn, C.D. von Dittersdorf, W.A. Mozart, I. Pleyel, F.A. Hoffmeister, L. van Beethoven, and others). In both traditions, concert symphonies are generally cyclic orchestral works with elaborated parts for two or more solo instruments. They are often marked by virtuoso cadences in one or several movements as well as a major tonality and cheerful festive mood. However, in many aspects Austrian concert symphonies differ from German and French ones. The article examines the features of Austrian concertante (the third aspect of the research) based on the evidence from concert symphonies and concerts for several solo instruments by Mozart and Haydn. The key features include a three- or four-part cycle, a variety of musical forms with sonata-like features as a backbone, thoughtful intonation patterns and thematic connections, equal standing of soloists and orchestra or, at times, the predominance of the latter. The study suggests that Austrian concert symphonies are closer to the symphonic interpretation in contrast to more concert-like German and French compositions written in this genre.

The article is devoted to a significant date — the 250th anniversary of the birth of the great German composer Ludwig van Beethoven. The author examines some issues of the influence of Beethoven's work on Russian artists in various fields of art. Especially stands out the name of one of the leading representatives of the Soviet musical avant-garde of the XXth century, composer Gavriil Popov, who created "Heroic" and "Pastoral" symphonies, following in the steps of the outstanding German master and entering into a "dialogue at a distance" with him. Furthermore, the indirect parallels between Popov's work and Beethoven's art are considered. The article also touches on the role of Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata" in the legendary film "Chapaev" by the Vasilyev brothers.

In classical music listening, program announcements both on radio and in concerts will usually introduce the performance of a symphony with the same minimal articles of information, such as the composer, the order of composition, the key, and the name, if any. But how much can a listener infer about the musical attributes of the work from these basic facts? Examination of 99 symphonies by 13 symphonists between Beethoven and Shostakovich showed that such rudimentary programmatic data can predict several subjective and objective features, including aesthetic significance, listener accessibility, repertoire popularity, melodic originality, originality variation, and playing time. Discussion follows about what these empirical relationships may imply about how composers create their symphonies and how appreciators perceive those musical products.

Li Delun, an outstanding Chinese conductor, has made a huge contribution to the development and popularisation of Chinese symphonic music in Russia, Europe and the USA. Having received an excellent education at the Moscow Conservatory in the class of opera and symphony conducting, Li Delun has rightfully earned a place in the cohort of outstanding musicians of our time. In early 1956, Li Delun was commissioned by the Chinese political leadership to establish and lead the Central Orchestra. He formed the repertoire of the symphony orchestra, combining Western classics (symphonies by W. A. Mozart, L. Beethoven, R. Schumann) with new works by modern Chinese composers (Sytsong, Luo Zhongzhong). Li Delun considered his greatest achievement to be the Chinese premiere of J. Puccini’s opera “Madame Butterfly” (1958). However, this production, along with the performance of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony during the celebration of the Xth anniversary of the People’s Republic of China in 1959, became increasingly dissonant with the tense political atmosphere. The article reveals Li Delun’s role in preserving symphonic music-making during the difficult period of the “cultural revolution” in China.

Robert Simpson died on 21 November 1997, leaving behind him an impressive body of works. At its core are 11 symphonies and 15 string quartets; also three concertos, two string quintets, sonatas, some choral music, even some much admired pieces for brass band. 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. He is widely known for his influential writings on Beethoven, Nielsen, and Bruckner among others; writings that, along the way, fiercely and polemically extol the enduring virtues of symphonic composition, manifestly swimming against the tide of contemporary music of the mid-century. Simpson's symphonism was always ideologically opposed to the post-war trends towards total mechanization, as much as to the experiments with extreme irrationality and chance in the 1960s.

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 role of embellishments in the composition and performance of concertos (with a focus on the Piano Concertos Nos. 3–5); second, the role of embellishments in evoking musical character and expressive personae (with a focus on the Piano Sonata op. 31, no. 3, the Violin Sonata op. 30, no. 1, and the Cello Sonata op. 5, no. 1); and finally, the possibility of understanding embellishment as a musical topic in symphonic writing (with a focus on the slow movements of the Symphonies Nos. 4, 8, and 9). The article closes with reflections on the expressive function of embellishments in Beethoven's late style, arguing that melodic decorations, along with other rhetorical devices, provided a vehicle for the evocation of nostalgia and memory.

In several essays from the first half of the nineteenth century, Robert Schumann and other music critics used the rhetoric of the sublime when describing select, unconventionally intense virtuosic showpieces and performances, evoking this category’s associations with overpowering, even fearsome experiences and heroic human qualities. These writings formed one strand of a larger discourse in which musicians and critics attempted to describe and identify instances of virtuosity that supposedly rejected superficiality and aimed at serious aesthetic values: in the nineteenth-century imagination, the sublime abnegated mere sensuous pleasure; inspired a mixture of attraction, admiration, and trepidation; and implied both masculinity and intellectual cultivation. It offered a framework for self-consciously elevating virtuosity rooted in the sheer intensity and, in some cases, perceived inaccessibility of particular works and performances. Schumann extended the mantle of sublimity to Liszt during the virtuoso’s 1840 Leipzig and Dresden concerts. Critics described three of Schumann’s own 1830s piano showpieces using the rhetoric of the sublime, comparing the finale of the Concert sans orchestre, Op. 14, to violent forces of nature to illustrate the way its virtuosic passagework disrupts and engulfs lyrical themes within an anomalous formal structure. They also linked the Toccata, Op. 7, and Etudes symphoniques, Op. 13, to Beethoven, hinting at the ways in which Schumann alluded to or modeled these showpieces on Beethoven symphonies. These episodes in Schumann’s career broaden our understanding of the contexts in which nineteenth-century writers on music evoked the sublime, showing how they described this quality not only in symphonies and large choral works but also in solo performances and showpieces. They illuminate the politics of the sublime, revealing its significance for nineteenth-century thinking about the cultural prestige that particular musical works and performances could attain.

Nineteenth-century concert life in Laibach (Ljubljana), capital of the Habsburg Carniola, was shaped and led by the local Philharmonic Society. Until the establishment of the Musical Society in 1872, it was the only musical institution in Carniola. Even after the establishment of the Musical Society, the Philharmonics remained the principal and representative leader of concert life. In the mid-nineteenth century, the main European centers had their own operatic and concert civil orchestras, however, Laibach did not have a concert symphony orchestra. In order to lead and perform regular symphonic concerts, the Philharmonic Society had to hire musicians from the military chapel, which also collaborated with the Opera and, at the end of the nineteenth century, participated in the concerts of the Music Society. The history of the Philharmonics exhibits not only a rich tradition but also illustrates the program endeavors of the artistic leaders, the musical trends of the time and social circumstances, which sometimes encouraged and at other times hindered its work. The first preserved program notes indicate that at that time (1816) challenging symphonic works were already played and in this regard Beethoven’s role was evident. In 1808 the Society already attempted to elect Beethoven as an honorary member of the society, but this happened only in 1819. A year before the local premiere of his Symphony No. 6, and for this opportunity, the composer sent a manuscript with his own corrections. Until then his Symphonies Nos. 1, 2, 7 and probably 4 were already performed there. The program notes of the Society indicate that Beethoven’s works were played at least (but usually more than) once in a season. In the second half of the nineteenth century, the appeal and the interest in the composer’s creative output grew even stronger, alongside the appreciation of the memory of the composer. It is also significant to note that his chamber works became regularly performed in the chamber concerts of the Philharmonics. Even though from the very beginning the composer’s overtures had a stable and regular place within the repertoire, the first full performance of his Symphony No. 9 took place only in 1902 (the first three movements were already performed a decade earlier).

Hans von Bülow often used pointedly religious rhetoric in his statements about music: “I believe in Bach the Father, Beethoven the Son, and in Brahms the Holy Ghost of music,” he famously proclaimed. Elsewhere, he called Bach’s Well-Tempered Clavier the “Old Testament” and Beethoven’s sonatas the “New Testament” of piano music. Beginning in the 1870s, these types of pronouncements became a central aspect of Bülow’s public image. This occurred as he began to position himself as a Beethoven specialist, with his celebrated edition of Beethoven’s piano sonatas (1871) and his new practice of performing “cycles” of Beethoven’s sonatas and (beginning in the 1880s) symphonies. Critical responses to Bülow as both pianist and conductor began to mirror his religious rhetoric: critics described his concerts as a kind of preaching, a proclaiming of the musical “gospel,” or a scriptural exegesis, and his audiences as a devout congregation. Such accounts participated in the well-documented elevation of instrumental music as a Kunstreligion in the nineteenth century. Yet they moved beyond the mysticism and religious pluralism characteristic of early-Romantic Kunstreligion, and avoided calling the performer a “priest,” an epithet common in mid-century music criticism. Instead, Bülow and his critics positioned his activities within a more traditional German Protestantism by emphasizing the didactic nature of his performances, their focus on a strict “gospel” of canonic works, and their affinity with preaching and biblical interpretation. This article situates these developments within attempts to create a national culture in the new Kaiserreich of the 1870s and 1880s. This period saw numerous calls for new forms of religious experience free from the dogmas of organized religion, yet consistent with the Protestantism that was increasingly touted as a unifying force. In this context, Bülow was able to invest his role as performer with a prestige that drew on the interpretive practices and modes of authority associated with the Protestant church.

From the late eighteenth century onward, composers began to use dynamic signs as an independent layer of expressive meaning, deployed either to reinforce the dynamic tendencies inherent in the music (through melodic or harmonic trajectory, phrasing, texture, etc.) or to counteract them. The study of this phenomenon thus far has been limited to individual observations regarding particular events, such as “surprise dynamics” (for example sudden peaks in volume or a subito piano following a crescendo), with no attempt to reach a systematic understanding. This article elucidates a little-noticed device, the preventive or cautionary dynamic. Some nineteenth-century composers reiterate dynamic instructions in their instrumental music several times in succession. The purpose of these repetitions is to maintain a desired dynamic level that runs counter to the intrinsic ebb and flow of tonal music (the “internal dynamic” as defined by some authors). The device is used most frequently at the extremes of the dynamic spectrum, often to create expressive tension in a poetic/extramusical sense. The first composer to make substantial use of this technique was Beethoven, but it is Mendelssohn who developed and deployed it most fully. This type of dynamic instruction is most prevalent in large-scale instrumental compositions, such as the symphony, and highlights another aspect of musical practice of the period: composers increasingly had to contend with conductors and performances over which they had no direct control. The increased use of dynamic signs in general and preventive or cautionary dynamics in particular can thus be read as an attempt to assert control over expressive aspects of their compositions that traditionally had been left to performers.

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, their work bore fruit in the early twentieth century with the founding of the Wiener Konzertverein and the Arbeiter-Symphonie-Konzerte.

This article takes as its starting point the little-noted attempt of the composer Luigi Cherubini to become the new Esterházy Kapellmeister following Joseph Haydn's death. I use the episode as a prompt for a broad reconsideration of Haydn's reputation in the 1790s–1800s, and of what it meant to follow in such footsteps. Rather than just a matter of capitalizing on the celebrity of a widely respected composer, I discuss Haydn's image and legacy as entailing a god-like aura of immortality, which he shared with personalities such as Washington, Nelson, or Peter the Great of Russia, all hailed for abilities that transcended known standards and inspired multitudes. This turn-of-the-century cult of greatness centered, in Haydn's case, on what seemed an unlimited number of symphonies and unlimited variety of orchestral effects in his oratorios The Creation and The Seasons. Haydn's ceaseless creative vein was a spectacle in itself. It evoked the same sublime, overpowering feeling that Kant described in facing things too vast to be grasped, such as the number of stars in the universe or God's eternity. Remaining in awe of a sublime subject like Haydn brought masses of people together in the aesthetic experience of someone immeasurable, thus immeasurably above them. Sounds that signified to this kind of collective deferential behavior had, I argue, a key role in canon formation across genres (symphonies, masses, operatic overtures, occasional pieces etc.), one often overlooked in scholarship prioritizing genre-inspired purviews. Cherubini, Beethoven, and many others were keen to receive “from Haydn's hands” the gift of invoking a mass audience, even well beyond their death, prompting the communal, attentive and on-repeat listening that reveres great composers, generation after generation.

Abstract . On 22 June 1829, the legendary French harpist, convicted forger and escaped felon, Robert Nicolas Charles Bochsa performed his most infamous musical offense: a rendition of Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony with stage action. Since Grove, this surprisingly early reworking of the Sixth as a ballet-pantomime has not gone down well in the literature. As the twentieth century unfurled, the moment steadily receded into obscurity, losing all cultural and contextual meaning to the point where it is now remembered (if at all) as a lesson in the rogue potential of performance——a pockmark on the historical map. This article will reverse the general slide into amnesia by first excavating this vanished but important moment of the musical past, and then recuperating its seriousness. Enough evidence from the 1820s and 30s suggests that Bochsa's Symphonie (performed at London's King's Theatre) was representative of much more than itself. Far from historically inexplicable, it can be read as an extreme manifestation of a strongly defined ballet-concert exchange that characterized the artistic trends of the late 1820s. By taking on abstract and ““musical”” forms, dance was becoming more concertlike. Concerts, meanwhile, were developing balletic traits in their increasing use of picturesque effects, and their growing fascination for the visual or bodily aspects of musical performance. A rapprochement took place that reshaped the nature of listening and figured the emerging concept of the musical work in a curiously plastic, objective way——as the case study exemplifies.

It is well known that Beethoven’s Ninth was followed by a temporary crisis in the genre of the symphony: the next generation found it difficult to get away from the shadow of this monumental piece. The Ninth was first performed in Hungary in 1865, more than 40 years after the world-premiere. 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. Although the Hungarian public was able to hear some of Beethoven’s symphonies already by the 1830s – mainly thanks to the Musical Association of Pest-Buda – in many cases only fragments of symphonies were performed. The Orchestra of the Philharmonic Society, founded in 1853, was meant to compensate for the lack of symphonic concerts. This paper is about the performances of Beethoven’s symphonies in Pest-Buda in the nineteenth century, and it especially it focuses on the reception of Symphony No. 9 in the Hungarian press, which cannot be understood without taking into consideration the influence of the Neudeutsche Schule (New German School).

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 than-as many twentieth-century commentators have assumed-the representation of a mythical or prelapsarian paradise.

"This paper aims to reveal the turning points in the life and work of German composer Johannes Brahms. These main events were influenced by certain figures of the epoch, whose encounters marked the artistic activity of Brahms. In explaining the reasons that lay behind the composition of a work, emotion is one of the most specific criteria. Personal experience becomes the indispensable condition of artistic creation and lays at the core of the creative impulse. The paper is structured according to the following four aspects: the first friends (together with Albert Dietrich and their mentor, Robert Schumann, Brahms contributed to the composition of the FAE Sonata for piano and violin, Julius Otto Grimm is the witness of Brahms’ love for Agathe von Siebold, while Julius Stockhausen emerges as the master of the Brahms lieder), the conductors who became the composer’s close friends and promoted his symphonies (Hermann Levi, Hans Richter, Hans von Bülow, the latter a genuine emissary of Brahms’s works, the author of the Three B syntagm – Bach, Beethoven, Brahms), the Viennese friends (the critic Eduard Hanslick, who characterized the works in Opp. 117-119 as genuine monologues and Joseph Hellmesberger, founder of the quartet name after him, with whom Brahms performed gems of the chamber music repertoire), and the confidants of Brahms, permanent figures in the life of the composer (the surgeon Theodor Billroth and Joseph Viktor Widmann, the author of the memoirs that revealed significant aspects of the composer’s life and works).

The music topic of "apotheosis" is examined in the context of Liszt's artistic biography. While the effect of the final apotheosis is familiar as a standard procedure in his symphonic poems, a prominent critical strand suggests that the overwhelming effect of the apotheosis may merely conceal a fundamental vacuity. 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." Nietzsche's historical model is probed against an episode from Liszt's career, in which the apotheosis topic first entered his orchestral music: the Cantata for the inauguration of the Bonn Beethoven monument (1845). In this cantata, Liszt chooses a quotation from Beethoven's "Archduke" Trio for the apotheosis. In this way, the cantata pits a musical kind of monumentality against the physical Beethoven movement, not dissimilar from attempts by Schumann and Jean Paul to theorize nineteenth-century monumentality. Moreover, with this "secular sanctus" Liszt forges an artistic link between the dead composer and himself. This episode, by means of which Liszt succeeded in consolidating his fame as Beethoven's rightful heir, turns out to be crucial for his subsequent career when he settled in Weimar as a self-consciously great composer (and wrote his symphonic poems). The events surrounding Liszt's engagement in the Beethoven monument are used as an exemplar of a notion of nineteenth-century musical monumentality that thrives on the interplay between the musical structure, the events amid which the performance took place, and the biographical background of the (genius-)composer.

Im Zuge der deutschen Nationalbewegung setzten um 1800 Reflexionen über die historische Entwicklung der deutschen Musik ein. An einschlägigen Texten läßt sich zwischen 1800 und 1850 eine fortschreitende nationale Interpretation der Musikgeschichte nachweisen. Während es Johann Karl Friedrich Triest (1801) darum ging, unter Hinweis auf Bachs Kontrapunktik und Haydns Symphonik zur Entwicklung eines noch schwach ausgeprägten Nationalbewußtseins beizutragen, standen bei Amadeus Wendt (1831), der in Haydns, Mozarts und Beethovens Instrumentalmusik den Höhepunkt der deutschen Musik sah, nationales und kosmopolitisches Bewußtsein im Einklang. Demgegenüber zeichnet sich im Mozart- und Beethoven-Bild Franz Brendels (1852) die spätere chauvinistische Tendenz des deutschen Nationalismus ab. (Prof. Dr. Reimer, Erich)

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 his desire to make the Pastoral more symphonic. More intriguingly, the modeling underscores parallel scenarios of divine reconciliation in the two symphonies, a theme shared more generally by the other works performed on the occasion of their public premieres in December 1808. In the Fifth, the struggle against Fate often heard in the first movement is resolved through the penitential march of the scherzo, while the "theophanic" storm movement in the Sixth (Richard Will's reading is extended here to account for the enigmatic birdcalls, whose "message" is echoed more pressingly in the scherzo) reorients secular appreciations of nature and country life toward thankful devotion. In each work, the celebratory finale rectifies an established schism between humanity and God.

In his late novel Doktor Faustus (1947) – written in exile in the USA during the Second World War – Thomas Mann has the fictional “German composer” Adrian Leverkühn “take back” Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony with his last cantata “Dr. Fausti Weheklag”. The humanism of the “Ode to Joy” with its final exultation “Alle Menschen werden Brüder” had been discredited by dictatorship, terror, war and the Holocaust, and by patriotic and nationalistic appropriations by various political systems. In the course of Germany’s coming to terms with its past – the so-called “Vergangenheitsbewältigung” – from the mid-1960s onwards, a number of composers reacted to the scandal of the misuse of this major classical work of art and its liberating message with compositions whose direct reference to Beethoven’s Ninth can also be understood as “retractions” of this symphony. This article investigates different approaches to Beethoven’s controversial work in Bernd Alois Zimmermann’s Requiem für einen jungen Dichter (1967–1969), Hans Werner Henze’s Sinfonia N. 9 (1995–1997), Andreas F. Staffel’s Beethoven off set – oder: ich nehme sie zurück die neunte Symphonie (2015–2019) and many other works.

To speak of Brahms and Beethoven in the same breath is almost a cliché: Brahms was intimately conscious of Beethoven's music from early youth. This article describes the details of his youthful involvement, the compositions he had in his repertoire as well as those other works which had a powerful effect on his development. By age 20, Brahms was frequently compared to Beethoven by people who met him or heard him play. My interest is in the way he was influenced by Beethoven and the manner in which he eventually found his own voice.The compositional history of his First Symphony provides the primary focus: its long gestation, and the alleged quote by Brahms given in Max Kalbeck's massive biography: ‘I'll never write a symphony, you have no idea what it feels like … to hear the footsteps of a giant behind one’. The reference is presumably to Beethoven, but there exists no corroborating evidence that Brahms ever said those words. They gained credence as one writer after another simply accepted Kalbeck's word. Yet substantial evidence exists that in writing his biography, Kalbeck distorted and even invented ‘facts’ when it suited his purposes, including a specific instance dealing with writing a symphony.An alternative view of the symphony's long gestation is based on a view of Brahms's compositional history. He wrote for musical forces he knew at first hand, and only from 1872 to 1875 did he have command of an orchestra. Intriguingly, while fulfilling the contemporary accepted demands of a symphony after Beethoven, Brahms devised an unusual strategy for the final movement, the basis of its great success.

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 at a late stage in the compositional process could explain why Beethoven abandoned the work.

Background. Nowadays, the typology of the piano quartet is actively studied by the modern scientists. The genesis of this genre is becoming more contentious. As pointed out by L. Tsaregorodtseva (2005), and earlier I. Byaly (1989), a connection of concerts for clavier solo accompanied by a string ensembles and a string quartet form a foundation for a genre of the piano quartet. N. Samoilova (2011) sees the origin of this genre in ensembles with clavier, L. Tsaregorodtseva (2005) ‒ in the historical and cultural situation of the last third of the 18th century, including the genre (string quartet and piano concerto), structural and compositional (sonata form), organological (instrument condition), performing (pianism development). I. Byaly (1989) and I. Polskaya (2001) consider the trio principle as the basis of ensemble genres, including the piano quartet. A conjunction of these opinions let us perceive the piano quartet as the result of the synthesis of various compositional and genre principles of ensembles, which formed the basis of the classical structure of the genre. Its creators are believed to be W. A. Mozart, the author of two piano quartets: No. 1 g-moll KV478 and No. 2 Es-dur KV493 (1785; 1786), and L. Beethoven, who composed four piano quartets: WoO 36 № 1 Es-dur, № 2 D-dur, № 3 C-dur (1785) and op. 16 Es-dur (1801). In these compositions of the classical era the defining attributes of the genre were multitimbrality, which manifests in keyboard and string instruments; ensemble players equality; signs of various types of utterance, including those inherent in a string quartet and clavier concerto involving a group of strings; sonatas and symphonies; as well as the type of composition, built on the model of “fast-slow-fast” with the obligatory sonata Allegro in the first position. In the romantic era, the boundaries of the genre expand in terms of content, structure, interpretation of the ensemble. The first attempt to increase the scale of the cycle belongs to C. M. Weber, who brought it closer to the composition of the string quartet through the introduction of Menuetto. However, the final fourpart cycle is set by F. Mendelssohn, who replaced Menuetto with Scherzo, which becomes the normative model for the romantic tradition of the genre. Objectives. The purpose of this article is to determine the role of F. Mendelssohn’s piano quartets in the evolution of the genre in general, and in the romantic era in particular. Results. Three piano quartets by F. Mendelssohn present a picture of his youthful attitude. The musician’s early composing ability allowed him to turn to the creation of works of this genre without fear. This genre usually attracts the attention of artists in their mature period of creativity, having mastered various genres, including chamber-instrumental ensembles (W. A. Mozart, R. Schumann, J. Brahms). It is easy to observe the commonalities of F. Mendelssohn and young Beethoven, who also composed the piano quartets in the early days of his oeuvre. F. Mendelssohn has composed three piano quartets: No. 1 c-moll (1882), dedicated to Prince Antoine Radziwill, No. 2 f-moll (December 1823), dedicated to Karl Zelter, and No. 3 h-moll (January 1823) – to Goethe. The skill of using large structures, the depth of musical thought, and even the sings of his future style are starting to find expression in Mendelssohn’s youth compositions. The four-part structure of the composition cycles reveals the young composer’s interest in the works of L. Beethoven, in particular in his piano sonatas. Distinctly clear analogies are also found in «Aurora» op. 53 and «Appassionata» op. 57. R. Larry Todd (2003) also points to the similarity of the original themes of the Piano quartet No. 1 c-moll by F. Mendelssohn and the piano sonata in the same key KV457 by W. A. Mozart. It defined by the initial course of the sounds of the basic triad, as well as the use of symmetrical question-answer constructions, contrasting in mood. The connections between these two compositions are even more evident in the finale, which begins with a theme directly borrowed from the last part of W. A. Mozart’s sonata (as identified by the author of this article). In Quartet No. 2 f-moll, connections with the music of L. Beethoven are not limited to allusions to the famous piano sonatas of the Viennese classic. The first part of F. Mendelssohn’s cycle contains several definite signs of Beethoven’s influences: the development of the code is significantly expanded in the sonata form, and in a monumental reprise the young author defines the extreme dynamic level fff. In Adagio (Des-dur) there is a wide enharmonic palette, including several sharp keys. The next part, labeled as Intermezzo, provides a transition to the «explosive» finale, which opens with a «rocket-like» theme, driven by an ascending line of chromatic bass. Piano Quartet No. 3 h-moll is the work that determined the choice of F. Mendelssohn’s professional composer career, which was highly appreciated by L. Kerubini. Mastery of the musical form is manifested in a significant expansion of the scope of the cycle and each of its parts. Adhering to the strategy of virtuoso interpretation of the piano part, which was chosen in the first two opuses, the author, at the same time, subordinates the tasks of demonstrating the pianist’s instrumental possibilities to the purpose of disclosure the dramatic idea of the work. At the same time, he does not brake the principle of equality of ensemble members, borrowed from his predecessors in any of his piano quartets. Conclusions. The analysis revealed the following indicators of the romanticization of the piano quartet genre in the work of F. Mendelssohn. These are: the scale of the content and composition of the cycle; the large coda sections in the first and final parts; the poetic completion of the lyrical second parts, as it is in “songs without words”; brilliance of the final parts; dominance of minor keys; equality of ensemble members with the “directorial” function of the piano and others. The high artistic qualities of F. Mendelssohn’s piano quartets attract the attention of many performers, among which the Foret Quartet demonstrates the most adequate interpretation of these works.

Abstract The last word of Mahler’s Fifth Symphony, composed in 1901–02 and premiered in 1904, is ironic, mocking even, certainly not pompously triumphant. What is mocked here is the whole tradition of victorious symphonic scenarios epitomized by Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, the “per aspera ad astra” tradition that had symphonists propose stories of suffering triumphantly overcome. The Finale also puts into question Mahler’s own past. For the first time, the composer writes here a symphony that does not aim at a transcendence and sublimity, but accepts the comic immanence of the earthly existence. The aspiration to transcendence fails, but is not forgotten, and neither are the negative aspects of human existence that gave rise to this aspiration

The focus of this paper is the reception of Ludwig van Beethoven’s works at the turn of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, from the establishment of symphony orchestras and other cultural institutions. These works include symphonic and chamber music, performed in the framework of symphonic concerts as presented by the Cyprus Symphony Orchestra and chamber music as presented by chamber music festivals. This paper will shine a light onto the preserved concert programs of the orchestras, as well as other concerts that can be traced in newspapers and other printed magazines, in order to demonstrate how Beethoven’s compositions became part of the concert programming. The rapid but simultaneously abrupt growth of the cultural scene in the twentieth century, was interweaved with what kind of compositions and what composers could be included in concert programs, taking into consideration the restrictions that governed large performances such as performers’ numbers and the diversity of instrumental players, who would support the staging of certain works. The reception of Beethoven’s works is studied in the changing local political, historical, social and cultural context.

Abstract Between 1911 and 1913, Odeon records, in Berlin, produced and made available for sale five complete, four-movement symphonies, the first complete symphonies ever recorded. They were Beethoven’s Fifth and Sixth Symphonies (August and November–December 1911), and then Haydn’s Symphony no. 94 (“Surprise”) and Mozart’s Symphonies nos. 40 and 39 (in that order, March and April 1913). Each was performed by members of the Odeon company’s orchestra, billed as the “Großes Odeon-Streich-Orchester.” While no conductor is identified on the labels, it was surely Eduard Künneke, Odeon’s house conductor at that time. (Arthur Nikisch’s Beethoven’s Fifth with the Berlin Philharmonic would follow, from Grammophon records, in November 1913.) Odeon’s decisions to record these five symphonies took place within two larger corporate contexts, 1907–13: first, that of what was becoming increasingly possible within the enabling yet constraining affordances of the era’s music-recording industry; second, that of how those affordances were giving rise to the more innovative plans and economic gambles of recording extended classical works—longer stretches of operetta and opera, high-prestige orchestral music, and, eventually, symphonies. Much of this history can be traced in reports, reviews, and advertisements in the contemporaneous German trade journal the Phonographische Zeitschrift. The whole is framed here within the contexts of recent media theory and varying views of the impact of sound recordings on twentieth- and twenty-first-century listening practices. As Antoine Hennion put it, “The disc has been powerful enough to introduce modern listeners to musical repertoires conceived with a different relationship in mind.”

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.

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-балетмейстеров XX столетия - Л. Ф. Мясина, И. Д. Бельского, Дж. Баланчина. В статье представлена история создания спектакля «Величие мироздания» на музыку Четвертой симфонии Бетховена. Рассмотрена взаимосвязь хореографических решений Лопухова и музыки симфонии. Абстрактные подзаголовки, которые Лопухов дает частям симфонии в ее хореографическом воплощении, близки эстетике русского авангарда 1920-х годов. The article is dedicated to the 135 anniversary of the birth of the Russian dancer, choreographer, teacher Fyodor Lopukhov (1886-1973). The paper presents a wide range of issues related to the development of dance symphony - a new musical and plastic genre of ballet theater of the XX century. Lopukhov formulated the theoretical provisions of dance symphony, expressed in an appeal to the ‘pure’ genre of symphony, the free work of choreographers with the music of the sonata-symphonic cycle, the idea of plotless ballet. All these principles will find an original embodiment in the performances of Lopukhov’s followers - outstanding dancers-choreographers of the 20 century Léonide Massine, Igor Belsky, George Balanchine. The work also examines the history of the creation of a unique performance The Greatness of the Universe, set to the music of Beethoven’s Fourth Symphony and an extraordinary reading of the masterpiece of the Viennese classic on the ballet stage. According to Lopukhov’s choreographic plan, the four movements of Beethoven’s symphony were named: the first part - Life in death and death in life, the second - Thermal Energy, the third - The Joy of existence and the fourth - Eternal Movement. These subheadings are close to the aesthetics of the Russian avant-garde of the 1920s. The article also touches on the structural features of Lopukhov’s ballet production: instead of the traditional four-part cycle of Beethoven, the choreographer’s script and performance began to include five parts (Lopukhov separated the introductory Adagio from the Allegro vivace material and designated it as an independent part). The article considers the connection of Lopukhov’s stage decisions with the musical form of the parts of Beethoven’s symphony. Keywords: L. van Beethoven, F. V. Lopukhov, P.

Ludwig van Beethoven hat bis 1801-02 eine ganze Reihe von Werken für Blasinstrumente komponiert, gewiss auch, um die Instrumente und ihre Kombination zu erproben, vor allem aber wohl, weil es entsprechende Anlässe gab oder Modeerscheinungen wie die Trios für zwei Oboen und Englischhorn in den 1790er Jahren in Wien. Mit dem Septett op. 20 bricht die Reihe der Bläsermusik plötzlich ab, obwohl gerade dieses Werk sehr erfolgreich war und denkbar wäre, dass Beethoven statt der neun Symphonien neun Septette geschaffen hätte. Doch Beethoven war, wie es scheint, die Bläsermusik allzu sehr mit dem Adel und dem Divertimento verknüpft, weshalb er andere Gattungen vorzog, in denen er bessere Werke geschaffen zu haben glaubte. Gleichwohl hielt er die Werke für Bläser nicht zurück, sondern publizierte sie oder versuchte sie zu veröffentlichen, was an Claudio Monteverdis Unterscheidung von prima und seconda prattica gemahnt. Mit seiner Abwendung von der Musik für Bläser schrieb Beethoven Musikgeschichte: Sein Vorbild bewirkte, dass sich in den Werkkatalogen der Komponistenelite seitdem Musik für Bläser nur ausnahmsweise findet.

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 нас» (Кант) как творческое кредо. Девятая симфония, вершинное достижение Бетховена-симфониста, обобщила основные идеи названных концепций и послужила ориентиром для музыкантов двух следующих столетий. Поздний стиль Бетховена стал предтечей стилевых реалий в искусстве XX века. В статье отмечаются черты преемственности с творчеством венского классика и вместе с тем новизна интерпретации классической модели в условиях искусства XX века. The classic of Czech music of the 20th century Bohuslav Martinu created his own stylistic concept based on national and European art traditions. One of the starting points of his work, containing anticipations into the future, was the legacy of Ludwig van Beethoven, especially his late works. The influence of a musician of such a scale as Beethoven on the work of Bohuslav Martinů is considered in this article in three aspects: heroic-dramatic and lyric-genre concepts of symphony as the basis of musical drama; “The starry sky above us and the moral law within us” (Kant) as a creative Credo; phenomenon of late style. The Ninth Symphony, the summit achievement of Beethoven as a symphonist, summarized the main ideas of these concepts and served as a reference point for musicians for the next two centuries. Beethoven’s late style became the forerunner of stylistic realities in 20th-century musical art. The article notes the traits of continuity with the work of the Viennese classic and at the same time the novelty of the interpretation of the classical model in the art of the twentieth century.

Résumé À la fin de la Cinquième Symphonie de Beethoven, on entend un timbre étrange : un solo de bassons, fortissimo, dans le registre aigu, un effet si incongru qu’on croirait à une faute d’orchestration. Adorno voit là au contraire « ce qui seul mérite le nom de style ». C’est que ce défaut du timbre est révélateur d’un défaut de la dialectique formelle, point crucial qu’Adorno scrute tout au long de son essai sur Beethoven. Il s’agit donc de redéployer cette lecture immanente de la partition, et de replacer le motif « raté » des bassons à l’endroit problématique de la forme beethovénienne (sa réexposition). Il s’agit aussi de retracer comment ce fragment participe d’une réflexion plus ample, de la Dialectique de la raison jusqu’à la Théorie esthétique. Ce double mouvement, musical et théorique, permet de mettre au jour l’originalité d’une théorie critique du style : le style non plus perçu comme un travail sur la langue, mais comme un correctif objectif de la langue sur les formes.
