Transcribed by Franz
Liszt. Introduction
It is true that Schubert
himself is somewhat to
blame for the very
unsatisfactory manner in
which his admirable piano
pieces are treated. He
was too immoderately
productive, wrote
incessantly, mixing
insignificant with
important things, grand
things with mediocre
work, paid no heed to
criticism, and always
soared on his wings. Like
a bird in the air, he
lived in music and sang
in angelic fashion.
--Franz Liszt, letter to
Dr. S. Lebert (1868) Of
those compositions that
greatly interest me,
there are only Chopin's
and yours. --Franz Liszt,
letter to Robert Schumann
(1838) She [Clara
Schumann] was astounded
at hearing me. Her
compositions are really
very remarkable,
especially for a woman.
There is a hundred times
more creativity and real
feeling in them than in
all the past and present
fantasias by Thalberg.
--Franz Liszt, letter to
Marie d'Agoult (1838)
Chretien Urhan
(1790-1845) was a
Belgian-born violinist,
organist and composer who
flourished in the musical
life of Paris in the
early nineteenth century.
According to various
accounts, he was deeply
religious, harshly
ascetic and wildly
eccentric, though revered
by many important and
influential members of
the Parisian musical
community. Regrettably,
history has forgotten
Urhan's many musical
achievements, the most
important of which was
arguably his pioneering
work in promoting the
music of Franz Schubert.
He devoted much of his
energies to championing
Schubert's music, which
at the time was unknown
outside of Vienna.
Undoubtedly, Urhan was
responsible for
stimulating this
enthusiasm in Franz
Liszt; Liszt regularly
heard Urhan's organ
playing in the
St.-Vincent-de-Paul
church in Paris, and the
two became personal
acquaintances. At
eighteen years of age,
Liszt was on the verge of
establishing himself as
the foremost pianist in
Europe, and this
awakening to Schubert's
music would prove to be a
profound experience.
Liszt's first travels
outside of his native
provincial Hungary were
to Vienna in 1821-1823,
where his father enrolled
him in studies with Carl
Czerny (piano) and
Antonio Salieri (music
theory). Both men had
important involvements
with Schubert; Czerny
(like Urhan) as performer
and advocate of
Schubert's music and
Salieri as his theory and
composition teacher from
1813-1817. Curiously,
Liszt and Schubert never
met personally, despite
their geographical
proximity in Vienna
during these years.
Inevitably, legends later
arose that the two had
been personal
acquaintances, although
Liszt would dismiss these
as fallacious: I never
knew Schubert personally,
he was once quoted as
saying. Liszt's initial
exposure to Schubert's
music was the Lieder,
what Urhan prized most of
all. He accompanied the
tenor Benedict
Randhartinger in numerous
performances of
Schubert's Lieder and
then, perhaps realizing
that he could benefit the
composer more on his own
terms, transcribed a
number of the Lieder for
piano solo. Many of these
transcriptions he would
perform himself on
concert tour during the
so-called Glanzzeit, or
time of splendor from
1839-1847. This publicity
did much to promote
reception of Schubert's
music throughout Europe.
Once Liszt retired from
the concert stage and
settled in Weimar as a
conductor in the 1840s,
he continued to perform
Schubert's orchestral
music, his Symphony No. 9
being a particular
favorite, and is credited
with giving the world
premiere performance of
Schubert's opera Alfonso
und Estrella in 1854. At
this time, he
contemplated writing a
biography of the
composer, which
regrettably remained
uncompleted. Liszt's
devotion to Schubert
would never waver.
Liszt's relationship with
Robert and Clara Schumann
was far different and far
more complicated; by
contrast, they were all
personal acquaintances.
What began as a
relationship of mutual
respect and admiration
soon deteriorated into
one of jealousy and
hostility, particularly
on the Schumann's part.
Liszt's initial contact
with Robert's music
happened long before they
had met personally, when
Liszt published an
analysis of Schumann's
piano music for the
Gazette musicale in 1837,
a gesture that earned
Robert's deep
appreciation. In the
following year Clara met
Liszt during a concert
tour in Vienna and
presented him with more
of Schumann's piano
music. Clara and her
father Friedrich Wieck,
who accompanied Clara on
her concert tours, were
quite taken by Liszt: We
have heard Liszt. He can
be compared to no other
player...he arouses
fright and astonishment.
His appearance at the
piano is indescribable.
He is an original...he is
absorbed by the piano.
Liszt, too, was impressed
with Clara--at first the
energy, intelligence and
accuracy of her piano
playing and later her
compositions--to the
extent that he dedicated
to her the 1838 version
of his Etudes d'execution
transcendante d'apres
Paganini. Liszt had a
closer personal
relationship with Clara
than with Robert until
the two men finally met
in 1840. Schumann was
astounded by Liszt's
piano playing. He wrote
to Clara that Liszt had
played like a god and had
inspired indescribable
furor of applause. His
review of Liszt even
included a heroic
personification with
Napoleon. In Leipzig,
Schumann was deeply
impressed with Liszt's
interpretations of his
Noveletten, Op. 21 and
Fantasy in C Major, Op.
17 (dedicated to Liszt),
enthusiastically
observing that, I feel as
if I had known you twenty
years. Yet a variety of
events followed that
diminished Liszt's glory
in the eyes of the
Schumanns. They became
critical of the cult-like
atmosphere that arose
around his recitals, or
Lisztomania as it came to
be called; conceivably,
this could be attributed
to professional jealousy.
Clara, in particular,
came to loathe Liszt,
noting in a letter to
Joseph Joachim, I despise
Liszt from the depths of
my soul. She recorded a
stunning diary entry a
day after Liszt's death,
in which she noted, He
was an eminent keyboard
virtuoso, but a dangerous
example for the
young...As a composer he
was terrible. By
contrast, Liszt did not
share in these negative
sentiments; no evidence
suggests that he had any
ill-regard for the
Schumanns. In Weimar, he
did much to promote
Schumann's music,
conducting performances
of his Scenes from Faust
and Manfred, during a
time in which few
orchestras expressed
interest, and premiered
his opera Genoveva. He
later arranged a benefit
concert for Clara
following Robert's death,
featuring Clara as
soloist in Robert's Piano
Concerto, an event that
must have been
exhilarating to witness.
Regardless, her opinion
of him would never
change, despite his
repeated gestures of
courtesy and respect.
Liszt's relationship with
Schubert was a spiritual
one, with music being the
one and only link between
the two men. That with
the Schumanns was
personal, with music
influenced by a hero
worship that would
aggravate the
relationship over time.
Nonetheless, Liszt would
remain devoted to and
enthusiastic for the
music and achievements of
these composers. He would
be a vital force in
disseminating their music
to a wider audience, as
he would be with many
other composers
throughout his career.
His primary means for
accomplishing this was
the piano transcription.
Liszt and the
Transcription
Transcription versus
Paraphrase Transcription
and paraphrase were
popular terms in
nineteenth-century music,
although certainly not
unique to this period.
Musicians understood that
there were clear
distinctions between
these two terms, but as
is often the case these
distinctions could be
blurred. Transcription,
literally writing over,
entails reworking or
adapting a piece of music
for a performance medium
different from that of
its original; arrangement
is a possible synonym.
Adapting is a key part of
this process, for the
success of a
transcription relies on
the transcriber's ability
to adapt the piece to the
different medium. As a
result, the pre-existing
material is generally
kept intact, recognizable
and intelligible; it is
strict, literal,
objective. Contextual
meaning is maintained in
the process, as are
elements of style and
form. Paraphrase, by
contrast, implies
restating something in a
different manner, as in a
rewording of a document
for reasons of clarity.
In nineteenth-century
music, paraphrasing
indicated elaborating a
piece for purposes of
expressive virtuosity,
often as a vehicle for
showmanship. Variation is
an important element, for
the source material may
be varied as much as the
paraphraser's imagination
will allow; its purpose
is metamorphosis.
Transcription is adapting
and arranging;
paraphrasing is
transforming and
reworking. Transcription
preserves the style of
the original; paraphrase
absorbs the original into
a different style.
Transcription highlights
the original composer;
paraphrase highlights the
paraphraser.
Approximately half of
Liszt's compositional
output falls under the
category of transcription
and paraphrase; it is
noteworthy that he never
used the term
arrangement. Much of his
early compositional
activities were
transcriptions and
paraphrases of works of
other composers, such as
the symphonies of
Beethoven and Berlioz,
vocal music by Schubert,
and operas by Donizetti
and Bellini. It is
conceivable that he
focused so intently on
work of this nature early
in his career as a means
to perfect his
compositional technique,
although transcription
and paraphrase continued
well after the technique
had been mastered; this
might explain why he
drastically revised and
rewrote many of his
original compositions
from the 1830s (such as
the Transcendental Etudes
and Paganini Etudes) in
the 1850s. Charles Rosen,
a sympathetic interpreter
of Liszt's piano works,
observes, The new
revisions of the
Transcendental Etudes are
not revisions but concert
paraphrases of the old,
and their art lies in the
technique of
transformation. The
Paganini etudes are piano
transcriptions of violin
etudes, and the
Transcendental Etudes are
piano transcriptions of
piano etudes. The
principles are the same.
He concludes by noting,
Paraphrase has shaded off
into
composition...Composition
and paraphrase were not
identical for him, but
they were so closely
interwoven that
separation is impossible.
The significance of
transcription and
paraphrase for Liszt the
composer cannot be
overstated, and the
mutual influence of each
needs to be better
understood. Undoubtedly,
Liszt the composer as we
know him today would be
far different had he not
devoted so much of his
career to transcribing
and paraphrasing the
music of others. He was
perhaps one of the first
composers to contend that
transcription and
paraphrase could be
genuine art forms on
equal par with original
pieces; he even claimed
to be the first to use
these two terms to
describe these classes of
arrangements. Despite the
success that Liszt
achieved with this type
of work, others viewed it
with circumspection and
criticism. Robert
Schumann, although deeply
impressed with Liszt's
keyboard virtuosity, was
harsh in his criticisms
of the transcriptions.
Schumann interpreted them
as indicators that
Liszt's virtuosity had
hindered his
compositional development
and suggested that Liszt
transcribed the music of
others to compensate for
his own compositional
deficiencies.
Nonetheless, Liszt's
piano transcriptions,
what he sometimes called
partitions de piano (or
piano scores), were
instrumental in promoting
composers whose music was
unknown at the time or
inaccessible in areas
outside of major European
capitals, areas that
Liszt willingly toured
during his Glanzzeit. To
this end, the
transcriptions had to be
literal arrangements for
the piano; a Beethoven
symphony could not be
introduced to an
unknowing audience if its
music had been subjected
to imaginative
elaborations and
variations. The same
would be true of the 1833
transcription of
Berlioz's Symphonie
fantastique (composed
only three years
earlier), the
astonishingly novel
content of which would
necessitate a literal and
intelligible rendering.
Opera, usually more
popular and accessible
for the general public,
was a different matter,
and in this realm Liszt
could paraphrase the
original and manipulate
it as his imagination
would allow without
jeopardizing its
reception; hence, the
paraphrases on the operas
of Bellini, Donizetti,
Mozart, Meyerbeer and
Verdi. Reminiscence was
another term coined by
Liszt for the opera
paraphrases, as if the
composer were reminiscing
at the keyboard following
a memorable evening at
the opera. Illustration
(reserved on two
occasions for Meyerbeer)
and fantasy were
additional terms. The
operas of Wagner were
exceptions. His music was
less suited to paraphrase
due to its general lack
of familiarity at the
time. Transcription of
Wagner's music was thus
obligatory, as it was of
Beethoven's and Berlioz's
music; perhaps the
composer himself insisted
on this approach. Liszt's
Lieder Transcriptions
Liszt's initial
encounters with
Schubert's music, as
mentioned previously,
were with the Lieder. His
first transcription of a
Schubert Lied was Die
Rose in 1833, followed by
Lob der Tranen in 1837.
Thirty-nine additional
transcriptions appeared
at a rapid pace over the
following three years,
and in 1846, the Schubert
Lieder transcriptions
would conclude, by which
point he had completed
fifty-eight, the most of
any composer. Critical
response to these
transcriptions was highly
favorable--aside from the
view held by
Schumann--particularly
when Liszt himself played
these pieces in concert.
Some were published
immediately by Anton
Diabelli, famous for the
theme that inspired
Beethoven's variations.
Others were published by
the Viennese publisher
Tobias Haslinger (one of
Beethoven's and
Schubert's publishers in
the 1820s), who sold his
reserves so quickly that
he would repeatedly plead
for more. However,
Liszt's enthusiasm for
work of this nature soon
became exhausted, as he
noted in a letter of 1839
to the publisher
Breitkopf und Hartel:
That good Haslinger
overwhelms me with
Schubert. I have just
sent him twenty-four new
songs (Schwanengesang and
Winterreise), and for the
moment I am rather tired
of this work. Haslinger
was justified in his
demands, for the Schubert
transcriptions were
received with great
enthusiasm. One Gottfried
Wilhelm Fink, then editor
of the Allgemeine
musikalische Zeitung,
observed of these
transcriptions: Nothing
in recent memory has
caused such sensation and
enjoyment in both
pianists and audiences as
these arrangements...The
demand for them has in no
way been satisfied; and
it will not be until
these arrangements are
seen on pianos
everywhere. They have
indeed made quite a
splash. Eduard Hanslick,
never a sympathetic
critic of Liszt's music,
acknowledged thirty years
after the fact that,
Liszt's transcriptions of
Schubert Lieder were
epoch-making. There was
hardly a concert in which
Liszt did not have to
play one or two of
them--even when they were
not listed on the
program. These
transcriptions quickly
became some of his most
sough-after pieces,
despite their extreme
technical demands.
Leading pianists of the
day, such as Clara Wieck
and Sigismond Thalberg,
incorporated them into
their concert programs
immediately upon
publication. Moreover,
the transcriptions would
serve as inspirations for
other composers, such as
Stephen Heller, Cesar
Franck and later Leopold
Godowsky, all of whom
produced their own
transcriptions of
Schubert's Lieder. Liszt
would transcribe the
Lieder of other composers
as well, including those
by Mendelssohn, Chopin,
Anton Rubinstein and even
himself. Robert Schumann,
of course, would not be
ignored. The first
transcription of a
Schumann Lied was the
celebrated Widmung from
Myrten in 1848, the only
Schumann transcription
that Liszt completed
during the composer's
lifetime. (Regrettably,
there is no evidence of
Schumann's regard of this
transcription, or even if
he was aware of it.) From
the years 1848-1881,
Liszt transcribed twelve
of Robert Schumann's
Lieder (including one
orchestral Lied) and
three of Clara (one from
each of her three
published Lieder cycles);
he would transcribe no
other works of these two
composers. The Schumann
Lieder transcriptions,
contrary to those of
Schubert, are literal
arrangements, posing, in
general, far fewer
demands on the pianist's
technique. They are
comparatively less
imaginative in their
treatment of the original
material. Additionally,
they seem to have been
less valued in their day
than the Schubert
transcriptions, and it is
noteworthy that none of
the Schumann
transcriptions bear
dedications, as most of
the Schubert
transcriptions do. The
greatest challenge posed
by Lieder transcriptions,
regardless of the
composer or the nature of
the transcription, was to
combine the vocal and
piano parts of the
original such that the
character of each would
be preserved, a challenge
unique to this form of
transcription. Each part
had to be intact and
aurally recognizable, the
vocal line in particular.
Complications could be
manifold in a Lied that
featured dissimilar
parts, such as Schubert's
Auf dem Wasser zu singen,
whose piano accompaniment
depicts the rocking of
the boat on the
shimmering waves while
the vocal line reflects
on the passing of time.
Similar complications
would be encountered in
Gretchen am Spinnrade, in
which the ubiquitous
sixteenth-note pattern in
the piano's right hand
epitomizes the
ever-turning spinning
wheel over which the
soprano voice expresses
feelings of longing and
heartache. The resulting
transcriptions for solo
piano would place
exceptional demands on
the pianist. The
complications would be
far less imposing in
instances in which voice
and piano were less
differentiated, as in
many of Schumann's Lieder
that Liszt transcribed.
The piano parts in these
Lieder are true
accompaniments for the
voice, providing harmonic
foundation and rhythmic
support by doubling the
vocal line throughout.
The transcriptions, thus,
are strict and literal,
with far fewer demands on
both pianist and
transcriber. In all of
Liszt's Lieder
transcriptions,
regardless of the way in
which the two parts are
combined, the melody
(i.e. the vocal line) is
invariably the focal
point; the melody should
sing on the piano, as if
it were the voice. The
piano part, although
integral to contributing
to the character of the
music, is designed to
function as
accompaniment. A singing
melody was a crucial
objective in
nineteenth-century piano
performance, which in
part might explain the
zeal in transcribing and
paraphrasing vocal music
for the piano. Friedrich
Wieck, father and teacher
of Clara Schumann,
stressed this point
repeatedly in his 1853
treatise Clavier und
Gesang (Piano and Song):
When I speak in general
of singing, I refer to
that species of singing
which is a form of
beauty, and which is a
foundation for the most
refined and most perfect
interpretation of music;
and, above all things, I
consider the culture of
beautiful tones the basis
for the finest possible
touch on the piano. In
many respects, the piano
and singing should
explain and supplement
each other. They should
mutually assist in
expressing the sublime
and the noble, in forms
of unclouded beauty. Much
of Liszt's piano music
should be interpreted
with this concept in
mind, the Lieder
transcriptions and opera
paraphrases, in
particular. To this end,
Liszt provided numerous
written instructions to
the performer to
emphasize the vocal line
in performance, with
Italian directives such
as un poco marcato il
canto, accentuato assai
il canto and ben
pronunziato il canto.
Repeated indications of
cantando,singend and
espressivo il canto
stress the significance
of the singing tone. As
an additional means of
achieving this and
providing the performer
with access to the
poetry, Liszt insisted,
at what must have been a
publishing novelty at the
time, on printing the
words of the Lied in the
music itself. Haslinger,
seemingly oblivious to
Liszt's intent, initially
printed the poems of the
early Schubert
transcriptions separately
inside the front covers.
Liszt argued that the
transcriptions must be
reprinted with the words
underlying the notes,
exactly as Schubert had
done, a request that was
honored by printing the
words above the
right-hand staff. Liszt
also incorporated a
visual scheme for
distinguishing voice and
accompaniment, influenced
perhaps by Chopin, by
notating the
accompaniment in cue
size. His transcription
of Robert Schumann's
Fruhlings Ankunft
features the vocal line
in normal size, the piano
accompaniment in reduced
size, an unmistakable
guide in a busy texture
as to which part should
be emphasized: Example 1.
Schumann-Liszt Fruhlings
Ankunft, mm. 1-2. The
same practice may be
found in the
transcription of
Schumann's An die Turen
will ich schleichen. In
this piece, the performer
must read three staves,
in which the baritone
line in the central staff
is to be shared between
the two hands based on
the stem direction of the
notes: Example 2.
Schumann-Liszt An die
Turen will ich
schleichen, mm. 1-5. This
notational practice is
extremely beneficial in
this instance, given the
challenge of reading
three staves and the
manner in which the vocal
line is performed by the
two hands. Curiously,
Liszt did not use this
practice in other
transcriptions.
Approaches in Lieder
Transcription Liszt
adopted a variety of
approaches in his Lieder
transcriptions, based on
the nature of the source
material, the ways in
which the vocal and piano
parts could be combined
and the ways in which the
vocal part could sing.
One approach, common with
strophic Lieder, in which
the vocal line would be
identical in each verse,
was to vary the register
of the vocal part. The
transcription of Lob der
Tranen, for example,
incorporates three of the
four verses of the
original Lied, with the
register of the vocal
line ascending one octave
with each verse (from low
to high), as if three
different voices were
participating. By the
conclusion, the music
encompasses the entire
range of Liszt's keyboard
to produce a stunning
climactic effect, and the
variety of register of
the vocal line provides a
welcome textural variety
in the absence of the
words. The three verses
of the transcription of
Auf dem Wasser zu singen
follow the same approach,
in which the vocal line
ascends from the tenor,
to the alto and to the
soprano registers with
each verse.
Fruhlingsglaube adopts
the opposite approach, in
which the vocal line
descends from soprano in
verse 1 to tenor in verse
2, with the second part
of verse 2 again resuming
the soprano register;
this is also the case in
Das Wandern from
Mullerlieder. Gretchen am
Spinnrade posed a unique
problem. Since the poem's
narrator is female, and
the poem represents an
expression of her longing
for her lover Faust,
variation of the vocal
line's register, strictly
speaking, would have been
impractical. For this
reason, the vocal line
remains in its original
register throughout,
relentlessly colliding
with the sixteenth-note
pattern of the
accompaniment. One
exception may be found in
the fifth and final verse
in mm. 93-112, at which
point the vocal line is
notated in a higher
register and doubled in
octaves. This sudden
textural change, one that
is readily audible, was a
strategic means to
underscore Gretchen's
mounting anxiety (My
bosom urges itself toward
him. Ah, might I grasp
and hold him! And kiss
him as I would wish, at
his kisses I should
die!). The transcription,
thus, becomes a vehicle
for maximizing the
emotional content of the
poem, an exceptional
undertaking with the
general intent of a
transcription. Registral
variation of the vocal
part also plays a crucial
role in the transcription
of Erlkonig. Goethe's
poem depicts the death of
a child who is
apprehended by a
supernatural Erlking, and
Schubert, recognizing the
dramatic nature of the
poem, carefully depicted
the characters (father,
son and Erlking) through
unique vocal writing and
accompaniment patterns:
the Lied is a dramatic
entity. Liszt, in turn,
followed Schubert's
characterization in this
literal transcription,
yet took it an additional
step by placing the
register of the father's
vocal line in the
baritone range, that of
the son in the soprano
range and that of the
Erlking in the highest
register, options that
would not have been
available in the version
for voice and piano.
Additionally, Liszt
labeled each appearance
of each character in the
score, a means for
guiding the performer in
interpreting the dramatic
qualities of the Lied. As
a result, the drama and
energy of the poem are
enhanced in this
transcription; as with
Gretchen am Spinnrade,
the transcriber has
maximized the content of
the original. Elaboration
may be found in certain
Lieder transcriptions
that expand the
performance to a level of
virtuosity not found in
the original; in such
cases, the transcription
approximates the
paraphrase. Schubert's Du
bist die Ruh, a paradigm
of musical simplicity,
features an uncomplicated
piano accompaniment that
is virtually identical in
each verse. In Liszt's
transcription, the
material is subjected to
a highly virtuosic
treatment that far
exceeds the original,
including a demanding
passage for the left hand
alone in the opening
measures and unique
textural writing in each
verse. The piece is a
transcription in
virtuosity; its art, as
Rosen noted, lies in the
technique of
transformation.
Elaboration may entail an
expansion of the musical
form, as in the extensive
introduction to Die
Forelle and a virtuosic
middle section (mm.
63-85), both of which are
not in the original. Also
unique to this
transcription are two
cadenzas that Liszt
composed in response to
the poetic content. The
first, in m. 93 on the
words und eh ich es
gedacht (and before I
could guess it), features
a twisted chromatic
passage that prolongs and
thereby heightens the
listener's suspense as to
the fate of the trout
(which is ultimately
caught). The second, in
m. 108 on the words
Betrogne an (and my blood
boiled as I saw the
betrayed one), features a
rush of
diminished-seventh
arpeggios in both hands,
epitomizing the poet's
rage at the fisherman for
catching the trout. Less
frequent are instances in
which the length of the
original Lied was
shortened in the
transcription, a tendency
that may be found with
certain strophic Lieder
(e.g., Der Leiermann,
Wasserflut and Das
Wandern). Another
transcription that
demonstrates Liszt's
readiness to modify the
original in the interests
of the poetic content is
Standchen, the seventh
transcription from
Schubert's
Schwanengesang. Adapted
from Act II of
Shakespeare's Cymbeline,
the poem represents the
repeated beckoning of a
man to his lover. Liszt
transformed the Lied into
a miniature drama by
transcribing the vocal
line of the first verse
in the soprano register,
that of the second verse
in the baritone register,
in effect, creating a
dialogue between the two
lovers. In mm. 71-102,
the dialogue becomes a
canon, with one voice
trailing the other like
an echo (as labeled in
the score) at the
distance of a beat. As in
other instances, the
transcription resembles
the paraphrase, and it is
perhaps for this reason
that Liszt provided an
ossia version that is
more in the nature of a
literal transcription.
The ossia version, six
measures shorter than
Schubert's original, is
less demanding
technically than the
original transcription,
thus representing an
ossia of transcription
and an ossia of piano
technique. The Schumann
Lieder transcriptions, in
general, display a less
imaginative treatment of
the source material.
Elaborations are less
frequently encountered,
and virtuosity is more
restricted, as if the
passage of time had
somewhat tamed the
composer's approach to
transcriptions;
alternatively, Liszt was
eager to distance himself
from the fierce
virtuosity of his early
years. In most instances,
these transcriptions are
literal arrangements of
the source material, with
the vocal line in its
original form combined
with the accompaniment,
which often doubles the
vocal line in the
original Lied. Widmung,
the first of the Schumann
transcriptions, is one
exception in the way it
recalls the virtuosity of
the Schubert
transcriptions of the
1830s. Particularly
striking is the closing
section (mm. 58-73), in
which material of the
opening verse (right
hand) is combined with
the triplet quarter notes
(left hand) from the
second section of the
Lied (mm. 32-43), as if
the transcriber were
attempting to reconcile
the different material of
these two sections.
Fruhlingsnacht resembles
a paraphrase by
presenting each of the
two verses in differing
registers (alto for verse
1, mm. 3-19, and soprano
for verse 2, mm. 20-31)
and by concluding with a
virtuosic section that
considerably extends the
length of the original
Lied. The original
tonalities of the Lieder
were generally retained
in the transcriptions,
showing that the tonality
was an important part of
the transcription
process. The infrequent
instances of
transposition were done
for specific reasons. In
1861, Liszt transcribed
two of Schumann's Lieder,
one from Op. 36 (An den
Sonnenschein), another
from Op. 27 (Dem roten
Roslein), and merged
these two pieces in the
collection 2 Lieder; they
share only the common
tonality of A major. His
choice for combining
these two Lieder remains
unknown, but he clearly
recognized that some
tonal variety would be
needed, for which reason
Dem roten Roslein was
transposed to C>= major.
The collection features
An den Sonnenschein in A
major (with a transition
to the new tonality),
followed by Dem roten
Roslein in C>= major
(without a change of key
signature), and
concluding with a reprise
of An den Sonnenschein in
A major. A three-part
form was thus established
with tonal variety
provided by keys in third
relations (A-C>=-A); in
effect, two of Schumann's
Lieder were transcribed
into an archetypal song
without words. In other
instances, Liszt treated
tonality and tonal
organization as important
structural ingredients,
particularly in the
transcriptions of
Schubert's Lieder cycles,
i.e. Schwanengesang,

German. ARKA
stammt aus dem
Sanskrit und bedeutet so
viel wie Strahl, Blitz,
Sonne, Licht, aber auch
Lied, Feuer und Hymnus,
und entwickelt in meiner
Vorstellung sehr viele
unterschiedliche
Assoziationsfelder. In
ARKA stecken
auch die Worter arc
(beten) und ka (Wasser),
und es kann auch
ubersetzt werden mit:
,,Das Wasser stromt aus
dem heraus, der mehr
weiss. Mein neues
Werk fur Pipa, Oboe,
Pauke, Schlagzeug und
Orchester entstand im
Auftrag der
Kammerakademie Neuss und
auf Anregung des Oboisten
Christian Wetzel. Es
entstanden drei Rituale
mit zum Teil szenischen
Elementen fur die
Solisten und das
Orchester.
Inspirationsquelle in
der Vorbeschaftigung
waren zwei Quellen und
Bucher. Das Daodejing von
Laozi in der
hervorragenden
Neuubersetzung von Viktor
Kalinke, eine der
wichtigsten Quellen
chinesischen Denkens und
der Philosophie dieser
grossen Kulturtradition
und die chinesische
Tradition der
5-Elementelehre und der
Wandlungsphasen. Als
zweites Buch hat mich
,,Die Glut von Roberto
Calasso inspiriert, ein
Buch uber die indischen
Veden in Verbindung mit
den Ursprungen des
Buddhismus und den damit
verbunden Ritualen.
In den letzten 20
Jahren habe ich mich
intensiv mit
ostasiatischer Musik,
Kunst und Philosophie
beschaftigt und habe das
auch durch langere
Studienreisen und
kompositorische Projekte
vertiefen konnen. U.a.
wurde 2012 mein Chorwerk
PRAN in Kolkata in Indien
uraufgefuhrt
(Goethe-Institut),
ebenfalls 2012 ,,in
between VI fur Sho und
Sheng in Tokyo und 2013
,,Mirror and Circle fur
Pipa, Cello und
chinesisches Orchester in
Taipeh/Taiwan
(Auftragswerk der
taiwanesischen
Regierung). Mit der
chinesischen
Pipa-Virtuosin Ya Dong
arbeite ich seit 2000
zusammen und habe fur sie
mehrfach komponiert
(Urauffuhrungen u.a. in
Hannover/EXPO 2000,
Rottweil 2001, Taipeh
2013, Magdeburg 2016).
Auch mit Christian Wetzel
arbeite ich seit uber 20
Jahren zusammen und habe
ebenfalls haufig fur ihn
komponiert (UA u.a. in
Bonn 1999, Hannover/EXPO
2000, Rottweil 2001,
Darmstadt 2004 und
etliche weitere
Projekte). Jedes
dieser drei Rituale hat
eine Lange von ca. 6-7
Minuten und stellt
unterschiedliche
Qualitaten und
Besonderheiten der beiden
Soloinstrumente heraus,
immer in Verbindung mit
der Interaktion zwischen
Soli und Orchester. Die
Besetzung war fur mich
ausserst reizvoll, da
beide Instrumente in
dieser Kombination noch
nie so erklungen sind.
Die Pipa ist ein ungemein
modernes und
ungewohnliches
Instrument, reich an
Farben und vor allem an
perkussiven Effekten. Das
Tonmaterial wurde zum
grossten Teil aus den
Namen der beiden Solisten
gewonnen und ergibt
interessanter zwei
gespiegelte
Viertonmotive. In der
asiatischen Kultur
spielen der Spiegel und
der Kreis eine wichtige
Rolle, und so werden die
Tone, Rhythmen und Formen
eingewoben in diese drei
Rituale, welche am Ende
des dritten Satzes wieder
kreisformig an den Anfang
des ersten Rituals
anknupfen. Ein von den
Streichern und der Pauke
erzeugtes Gerausch,
verbunden mit dem
Rhythmus der grossen
Trommel, welcher einen
Herzschlag symbolisieren
soll. Die drei Untertitel
der Rituale Himmel, Erde
und (atmospharischer)
Raum spielen im vedischen
und chinesischen Denken
eine grosse Rolle und war
fur mich beim Komponieren
ebenfalls eine sehr
starke
Inspirationsquelle. In
vielen meiner
Kompositionen gibt es
Raumeffekte, Annaherungen
an das Publikum, das
Verschieben von
Perspektiven, die
Dekonstruktion und das
Hinterfragen der ublichen
Konzertsituation, so u.a
in meinem Beuys-Zyklus
oder in den Zyklen ,,CUT
und ,,in between.
In ARKA geht
es mir besonders um die
Interaktion zwischen
westlichem und ostlichem
Denken, um das
gegenseitige Durchdringen
dieser auf den ersten
Blick so
unterschiedlichen Denk-
und Lebensweisen, um eine
Verschmelzung scheinbarer
Gegensatze - um
Annaherung! Bernd

P 303006 AGNI is the
Hindu god of fire; the
elemental and
transformative force
inherent in
everything: Every
flame, every fire, every
light, every warmth is
AGNI. AGNI is
omnipresent, establishing
everything and ending
everything. AGNI is
often depicted with seven
tongues which represent
different aspects of his
being. These
include: creating,
sustaining, cleansing,
purifying, priestly,
martial, devastating,
destructive, and
consuming. Derived
from Franke's concerto of
the same name, this solo
work for bass clarinet
compositionally traces
the transformative
processes initiated by
the divine fire. The solo
takes seven pieces from
the concerto, presenting
vivid character pieces
exploring the creative
possibilities and wide
tonal range offered by
the bass
clarinet. This
version of AGNI
for bass clarinet solo
was premiered on 4
December 2020 in Leipzig
by Volker Hemken, the
principal bass
clarinetist of the
Gewandhausorchester
Leipzig. EP14437a
convinces with its
excellent and clear
notation, making the
piece a new standard for
bass clarinet.

Based on a traditional
Scottish/Irish 'farewell'
song, this short piece is
one of six works written
to express my love of
Scotland. After living
there for nearly half my
life, and raising a
family, I moved back to
England in 2018, and
remarried in 2019.
Of course, there were
many different emotions
attached to the move
south: especially the joy
and excitement of new
beginnings, and
reconnection with friends
from my youth.
But this piece
expresses the wrench I
experienced after a last
family meal in Glasgow,
and the realisation of
all I was about to leave
behind. I have
taken the melody of the
original song, and
expanded it, exploring
the detail of its
patterns, so that it
becomes a timeless
meditation. The
six pieces in the
'farewell' series are for
6 violas, string quintet,
string quartet, trio,
violin and clarinet duo,
and solo clarinet.
The Parting Glass
was composed in 2020
during the coronavirus
lockdown, which
intensified the feeling
of separation from my
Scottish family, as well
as from other musicians.
It was
commissioned by Vittorio
Ceccanti for the
ContempoArtEnsemble.

Maple arose
from a commission to
write a work for solo
cello, to be performed
alongside readings from
artist John Newling's
collection of letters
entitled 'Dear Nature'; a
poetic manifestation of
our relationship with the
natural world. The
piece is in eight short
sections, to be
interspersed with
readings of groups of the
poems. It may also be
performed as a single
movement. It begins with
a seed - the seed of a
maple tree, as it hangs
on the mature tree, ready
to drop. The seeds are
like propellers,
sometimes travelling more
than a mile before
landing on the ground.
Maple follows
the growth of the tree to
maturity - which in
reality would take at
least a hundred years.
'Roots, shoots' grows
downwards and upwards
from a pedal note, and
the dance-like 'Flowers'
is followed by the
stately 'Tree', and then
the warm, cascading
'Autumn'. Maple is very
often the wood of choice
for the back of a
stringed instrument, and
the last section uses
open strings to explore
the full resonance of the
cello. The piece
starts with a 'seed' of
only five notes, which
grows into different
configurations. It is
intended to be played in
an improvisatory
style.
Maple was
co-commissioned by
Brighton Festival, Ars et
Terra Festival with SACEM
and Ditchling Arts and
Crafts Museum, to be
performed by Margarita
Balanas as part of the
Brighton Festival's 'Dear
Nature' project.

German. Commenting
on this cycle of 35
songs, the composer
writes: The
contradictions in human
nature delighted him; he
loved the unevenness of
life and all its
manifestations. While
nineteenth Century
musical settings focused
almost exclusively on his
atmospheric and lyrical
poetry, it was not until
the twentieth Century
that adequate musical
expression could be found
for Heine's poetic
realism, unique in its
time. In this selection I
have attempted to
juxtapose the various
personae and forms used
by Heine so as to present
a picture of his
personality.. $80.00 - Voir plus => Acheter | | |

A Grateful Tail
- Movement by Movement
Siriusly, Dog Star
Sirius, the brightest
star in the night sky,
has been used by
travelers and navigators
for thousands of years as
a guiding star and so it
is here as the opening
movement for the
symphony. Sirius, the
cornerstone to the
constellation Canis
Maggiore or Big Dog sits
at the foot of Orion, the
hunter, leading the way.
Highly cinematic, the
movement evokes both a
musical and visual sense
of the mythological and
mysterious elements of
Sirius and its Dog
Godstar secrets. From the
clarion call of the
opening, Sirius theme,
the sound is buoyant and
frisky emulating the
nature of doggy playtime.
Puppy pleasures abound as
a doggy four-step, my
turn on the traditional
American two-step dance,
is introduced. The
movement transforms into
an actual orchestrated
frolic of small, large
and medium dog barks
beginning with the winds
(smaller dogs) and
ultimately, the big dog,
brass. The movement
climaxes with the coda
or, Dog Park, where the
winds and the brass bark
and play together over
the, doggy ostinato
four-step rhythm,
culminating with the
final call of the Sirius
theme. Let Sleeping Dogs
Lie, Peacefully It's all
in a dog's day and life.
Tranquility presides over
this supremely gentle,
intermezzo-like movement.
After a day of play,
every dog needs rest. Let
Sleeping Dogs Lie, is a
lyrical andante inspired
by the profound serenity
and beauty of a dog at
rest. The Last Will and
Testament of Silverdene
Emblem O'Neill Based on a
powerful piece of prose
written by the American
playwright, Eugene
O'Neill this text was
intended as a consolation
piece for Carlotta, his
wife, who had become
grief-stricken over the
loss of their beloved
dog, the Dalmatian known
as Blemie.Written for a
singing actor who
personifies the role of
Blemie, a dog at the end
of his life, the movement
plays like a one act,
musical drama as we
follow Blemie through a
wonderfully
three-dimensional,
emotional and
psychological journey
writing his Last Will and
Testament, for those who
have loved him. Wagging
the Tail: Ossia Fido's
Lament A life-affirming
rumba/samba using
Blemie's final words from
O'Neill's text, this
final movement employs
the most unique American
musical invention, the
gospel choir. In order to
make the dances come
alive, this movement also
calls upon the colors of
a rhythm section.
Creating the spirit of an
Irish Funeral, the
movement is a joyful and
revival-like celebration
of a dog's life as its
spirit lives on forever
in the hearts and minds
of dog lovers everywhere.
Remember Me, remember me!
My spirit is wagging a
grateful tail. Published

Collection. Clifton
Edition #C463. Published
by Clifton Edition
(ST.C463). ISBN
9790570814633. This
volume contains
contrasting works by
Federico Ruiz spanning
quite a large and rich
period of his
compositional output that
goes from his early
Micro-Suite (1971), to
lilting, sweet and
rhythmic Venezuelan
waltzes passing by the
mysterious, intimate, and
intense Nocturno (1994)
plus pieces originally
composed for film, and
theatre. Real eclecticism
in styles, moods and
atmospheres that show
Ruizâ??s talents and
scope.
The
Nocturno is a deep,
intriguing, substantial
piece presenting a
satisfying length which
moves from different
paths of the mind and the
heart written in an
abstract, chromatic
idiom, that does not
dissociate itself from
the Venezuelan waltz and
the joropo. One could
perhaps say that there is
a deconstruction of the
latter. For the
interpretation, the
composer has suggested to
me that it is allowed to
have some flexibility in
the tempo. Ruiz kindly
dedicated it to me, and I
have had the pleasure of
performing it in many
concerts.
Although
all highly expressive,
the Three Venezuelan
Waltzes present in this
collection as well as the
piece titled Aliseo, are
works that are close to
the colourful Venezuelan
folk tradition. Federico
Ruiz had given me two of
them when we first met:
â??Tu Presenciaâ??
(1981) and
â??EloÃsaâ?? (1989)
and then I attended a
performance of the play
â??Office Number Oneâ??
by Miguel Otero Silva
with a fantastic actor,
Elba Escobar in the role
of Carmen Rosa and, I
just fell in love and was
very moved by the
incidental music that I
later discovered, by
reading the programme,
had been written by
Federico Ruiz. Later that
evening, I called him and
asked to please make a
piano score of the
composition, so I could
have the desired piece in
my hands. That is how
â??Carmen Rosaâ?
waltz (1987) came to
exist in a piano
version.
â??Elois
aâ?? is another
Venezuelan waltz with
more jazzy harmonies
where precision in the
rhythm and elegant
playing is also
essential, as it is in
most of his
pieces.
â??Tu
Presenciaâ?? was
dedicated to his mother,
Margarita. It is written
with the structure of the
Venezuelan waltz, which
consists of a nostalgic
subject that leads to a
faster, happier middle
section where the typical
graceful rhythm is given
by the left-hand
accompaniment figure of a
dotted crotchet followed
by a quaver and a
crotchet.
The
craft and magic found in
the five movements of the
Micro-Suite is based on a
dodecaphonic row by Ernst
Krenek. They remind us of
the idiom of the Second
Viennese School. These
real miniatures seem to
tell short stories. The
â??Preludioâ?? is full
of humour. I imagine
dancing figures given by
the jumps all over the
keyboard and extreme
dynamics; the phrases
give the impression of a
conversation with many
questions and answers.
The â??Invenciónâ??
is a kaleidoscopic piece
where the hands mirror
each other. The
â??Passacagliaâ?? is
the longest movement, at
just over a minute where
the prime motif is
repeated three times on
the bass line. For its
construction Federico
Ruiz uses as well the
retrograde and the
retrograde inversion of
the twelve-tone series.
It must be played
expressively with dynamic
contrasts between
pianissimo and louder
events. The
â??Scherzoâ?? has
repetitive motifs of a
minor third in both hands
and the â??Finalâ??
displays virtuosic
passages for the
pianist.
Aliseo
was originally written
for the film â??Aire
libreâ? (1995), by
Luis Armando Roche. It
contains elements of
diverse types of
Venezuelan joropo. In the
film, the character of
Aliseo Carvallo is played
by the composer himself
who performs this piece
on a harpsichord to
welcome scientists
Alexander von Humboldt
and Aimé Bonpland one
day at the turn of the
1800â??s, as a sample of
the new music from the
South American land. It
presents the refinement
of the late European
classical era in fusion
with Venezuelan folk
music. $15.95 - Voir plus => AcheterDélais: 4 to 6 weeks | | |

9790006565733. 31 x 24.3
cm inches. Key: E minor.
Preface: Larry R.
Todd. Mendelssohn's
Violin Concerto op. 64,
is a key work of the 19th
century, adhering to the
classical style of
Beethoven while pointing
the way to the romantic
ethos of Brahms. It has
long been known that
Mendelssohn performed the
work with three soloists
in succession: Ferdinand
David, who worked closely
with the composer during
its composition and
played it at the
premiere; the 'child
prodigy' Joseph Joachim;
and Hubert Leonard, a
young Belgian virtuoso
about whom little is
known.
As proof
sheets for the Violin
Concerto in E minor were
long considered lost, it
could be described as
somewhat of a sensation
when proofs for the solo
violin part resurfaced
together with a letter
from Mendelssohn to
Leonard.
The
letter informs us that
the composer invited
Leonard to his home in
Frankfurt in order to
make his acquaintance. It
was already known that
Mendelssohn had given
proof sheets to David;
now we know that he also
gave some to
Leonard.
The
recently discovered
proofs reveal how Leonard
played the concerto with
Mendelssohn on that
memorable evening in
February 1845. Besides
containing bowing marks
and fingering, they also
show how Leonard executed
shifts of position and
where he employed open
strings. Furthermore
modifications made to
dynamic markings and
additional legato bowing
are shown.
It is
safe to assume that all
of this was done with
Mendelssohn's approval.
That the young violinist
made a positive
impression on the
composer is confirmed in
the latter's
correspondence following
their joint performance.
Mendelssohn is full of
praise for Leonard's
playing and offers to
lend his support in
finding employment in
Germany.
This
revised edition of the
Mendelssohn Violin
Concerto (only the
orchestral parts remain
unchanged) includes a
separate booklet on
performance practice.
The editor, Clive
Brown, is an acknowledged
expert on Romantic
performance
practice.

English. About the
WorkThe text of this work
is most often attributed
to Ralph Waldo Emerson,
although it doesn't
mirror his style, and no
research credits an
essay, book or letter
with its source. Other
individuals are
occasionally suggested as
possible authors, but
equally unsubstantiated.
Even whether the textis a
poem or a quote seems
unclear. But there is one
thing that is without
question: that this
beloved text has inspired
countless people and
contributed toward a view
of the world through eyes
of hope, resilience,
courage, beauty, and joy.
Music for this text
flowed more easily than
about any text I have
ever set. It has an
emotional connection that
is mystical, and after I
read it for the first
time, I immediately sat
down and wrote this work
without stop.Rehearsal
NotesIn many cases, art
is more expressive and
reaches a wider range of
human emotions when
multiple artistic fields
are fused together. Such
is the case with choral
music: the intertwining
of literature, music, and
very often dance, visual
arts, and more. The story
in choral music is often
quite specific, much like
film scoring. At times,
the music is the picture
frame (score) around the
picture (text), while at
others the music is the
leading
dramatic/emotional
impetus.In the present
case (My Farewell Wish),
the text is sincere,
innocent, heartfelt, and
earnest. By all accounts,
the message is
altruistic, expressing
selfless desire for
another's present/future
happiness. Capturing this
message has a strong
reliance on the
performers to not only
carry the emotional
intent of the moment (a
phrase of text or a
measure), but the the
energy and continuance of
the message
throughout.The use of the
[o] vowel functions
almost as instrumental
interludes or
underpinning of strings.
The conductor may use the
[o] as indicated in the
score, or a [u] vowel, a
hum (with [o] as the
vowel inside the mouth),
or all three at different
times for different
reasons. In an acoustical
performance (no mic), the
soloist and the ensemble
are a reflection of each
other's natural sound.
And, even gentle, warm
solo voices should have
no trouble projecting.Two
final thoughts: 1) the
obbligato or added voice
or two on high passages
(m. 66) or a single note
(final chord) will be
best delivered by
lyrical, pure voices with
demonstrated control; and
2) the metronome marking
of 80 bpm (mm.
1–81) was strongly
considered and should be
followed.About the

Text: Victor
Hugo. In his poem
Soiree en mer, Victor
Hugo describes how the
sea can be perceived very
differently by two lovers
at the same time in the
same place. While the man
perceives the deepening
shadows on the dancing
waves, the woman marvels
at the stars shining ever
brighter in the
firmament. In nature, as
in the words of the poem,
the painful ambiguity
that represents life at
its core can be
experienced. Like no
other poet, Hugo captures
this almost unbearable
simultaneity of living
and dying, of love and
suffering. Saint-Saens
translates this into
music - probably the most
ephemeral and
contemporary of all art
forms. His balanced
musical form leaves
plenty of room for the
poetry and his subtle
variations in timbre,
which also inspired Denis
Rouger to his choral
arrangement, create a
seething motion under the
surface of the
sea.
This art song
was originally composed
not for chamber choir,
but for solo voice and
piano. Denis Rouger has
carefully adapted it to
suit the requirements and
expressive possibilities
offered by a larger
ensemble, without losing
any of the qualities of
the original in the
process. Each part in the
choir has a melodic line
drawn from the harmonic
and rhythmic framework.
In the process, the
variety and refinement of
the choral language
combines with an enormous
flexibility in form and
expression, as French
melodies or German art
song demand from a
soloist and pianist. The
songs have been recorded
by the figure humaine
chamber choir on the CD

680160038091. I
became interested in the
work of Plato through my
friend and collaborator,
the writer and
philosopher Paul
Woodruff. Paul's new
translation, with
Alexander Nehamas, of the
Symposium gave me
insights into ancient
Greek ways of thinking
about Love, Beauty, and
Wisdom -- and managed to
keep the earthy, and
often bawdy side of it
all in full view. But
their new translation of
Plato's later dialogue
Phaedrus went even
further: the beauty of
the speeches is
breathtaking, and the
discourse itself is
enough to keep one awake
at night. Basically the
Great Speech of Socrates
in the Phaedrus dialogue
has to do with the place
of Eros in the world, and
with the conflict in the
soul between fleshly
pleasure and philosophic
discovery. I will not
attempt to encapsulate
this brilliant discourse
in a program note:
suffice it to say that
reading it gave rise to
my two-sided work for
clarinet, violin, and
piano, Phaedrus. The
first movement represents
the Philosophic life, and
is thus subtitled
Apollo's Lyre (Invocation
and Hymn). It begins with
an unaccompanied melody
for the clarinet, which
(after a pair of
harp-like flourishes for
the piano, expands into
an accompanied canon. The
voices in the dialogue
(clarinet and violin)
follow each other by a
prescribed number of
beats, but the music is
totally devoid of any
meter at all. The piano,
representing the lyre,
accompanies this lyric
love-feast with repeated
strummed chords. The
canon has three large
sections, and ends with
violin echoing the
unaccompanied clarinet
invocation as the sound
of the lyre fades. The
second movement, called
Dionysus' Dream-Orgy
(Ritual Dance) presents,
after a brief
introduction, another
kind of unmetered music.
Rather than long lyric
flights of philosophic
song, however, this time
we hear a unison dance of
unbridled energy and
sensual transport. The
piece soon forms itself
into a loose arch form,
with contrasting metered
dance sections divided by
the unison unmetered orgy
tune. Midway through the
movement, Apollo's melody
returns from the first
movement, but it is a
temporary reminiscence.
The orgiastic dance
returns, reaches a
climax, and ends with a
stomping of feet. While
Plato asserts that a
proper balance between
lust and reason is
necessary in all men, he
(naturally) gives the nod
to Philosophy as the
better choice in which to
live. Not so in my music:
the two sides are meant
to coexist and to
complement each other. No
sides are taken. Phaedrus
was commissioned of the
Verdehr Trio by Michigan
State University. It is
dedicated to the Vedehr
Trio with great affection
and admiration. $85.00 - Voir plus => AcheterDélais: 2 to 3 weeks | | |

9790006443222. 33 x 26 cm
inches. Text Language:
English. Handelâ??
s â??Semeleâ?, which
premiered in February
1744, is based on an
adapted version of
William Congreveâ??s
opera libretto titled
â??The Story of
Semeleâ?, originally
published in 1706.
However, neither Handel
nor his librettist
referred to
â??Semeleâ? as an
opera or an oratorio,
which, according to the
understanding at the
time, would have required
a biblical and/or
Christian subject matter.
Contemporary audiences
also disagreed on the
genre. The problematic
classification as an
oratorio has persisted
into the present day,
likely due to the edition
labeled as such by
Chrysander. The â??Halle
Handel Editionâ? (HHA)
distances itself from
this classification and,
considering the available
sources, refrains from
assigning a genre
label.
Congreve
deviates from the
mythological source
multiple times in order
to create tensions among
the characters. The
desired marriage between
Semele and Athamas, whom
she does not love, is an
addition by Congreve to
provoke the envy of her
sister Ino, who desires
Athamas herself.
Therefore, Ino sees her
own advantage in
Semeleâ??s abduction by
Jupiter. While
Jupiterâ??s wife Juno
decides to destroy Semele
out of jealousy for his
relationship with her,
Jupiter brings Ino to his
palace to console Semele.
The vengeful Juno takes
advantage of Inoâ??s
presence and transforms
into her likeness,
persuading Semele to
carry out a plan that
later proves fatal. In
the end, Ino emerges as
the winner, as she is
able to convince their
father, Cadmus, to marry
her to Athamas. The
appearance of Apollo in
the final scene to
announce that Semeleâ??s
immortal son Bacchus was
saved from her ashes
provides little
consolation. However,
this twist allows the
drama to conclude with
exuberant joy and a
magnificent final chorus
after the tragic scenes
in the third act,
culminating in the death
of the
protagonist.
Hande
lâ??s autograph score
shows significant
deviations from and
numerous revisions of the
original version
premiered. All surviving
early versions, the
musical movements deleted
before the premiere, and
the version of the
December 1744, are given
in the appendix to the
HHA.

Dutch. The White
Stone was
commissioned by the band

of Dossenheim near
Heidelberg, Germany. The
work is named after a
high peak (White Stone)
in the east of the town.

‘How lovely you
are, my
Dossenheim’ in
different forms and
shapes, and musically he
depicts the history and
landscapes of this
idyllic town. A
challenging and versatile
concert work with lots of
beautiful melodies as
