Tristan und Isolde ist in der inneren Dimension schwer zu messen. Kein anderes der Musikdramen Wagners ist so vollig auf ein einziges Thema konzentriert, verzichtet so weitgehend auf theatralische Handlung und ist so ausschliesslich auf den Ausdruck tiefster Gefuhle angelegt: die Liebe zweier Menschen, die bis in den Tod dauert. Wagner schuf hier neuartige Musik, an deren Beginn ein Akkord ohne tonale Bindung steht, so dass von einem der Anfange der Neuen Musik gesprochen werden kann. Lange Zeit musste der Komponist nach einem Urauffuhrungstheater fur dieses Werk suchen, bis Konig Ludwig II. von Bayern es 1885 in Munchen unter Hans von Bulow urauffuhren liess. Tristan und Isole wurde fur alle Zeiten ein Bekenntnis zur ewigen Welt der Gefuhle, zum Sieg des Humanismus uber den Materialismus.Dieses Buch enthalt neben dem Textbuch einfuhrende Kommentare von Kurt Pahlen. Er begleitet das musikalische und das aussere wie innere dramatische Geschehen der Oper mit Hinweisen zu kompositorischer Struktur und Sinnzusammenhang. Eine kurze Inhaltsangabe und ein Abriss der Entstehungsgeschichte stellen das Werk in einen Zusammenhang mit dem Gesamtschaffen des Komponisten und seiner Biographie und bieten eine umfassende, reich illustrierte Einfuhrung.

Im Zentrum dieses Bandes mit neuen Aufsatzen der internationalen Cajkovskij-Forschung stehen Beitrage, die sich mit den Geruchten um den angeblichen, erzwungenen Selbstmord des Komponisten und mit seiner in der Biographik lange tabuisierten erotischen Veranlagung befassen. Erstmals in deutscher Sprache werden Materialien zu diesen Themen veroffentlicht und unter biographischen und psychologischen, kultur- und sozialhistorischen sowie juristischen und medizinischen Aspekten interpretiert. Neben der Publikation neuer Cajkovskij-Funde, darunter Briefe und Notenautographe, werden die bisherigen Ausgaben von Cajkovskijs Briefen einer Sichtung unterzogen und wesentliche, bislang unterdruckte Briefe und Briefpassagen mitgeteilt, in denen der Komponist uber sein privates Leben spricht. Ein kritischer Literaturbericht uber die Diskussion um Cajkovskijs Tod und weitere historisch-biographische, analytische und rezeptionsgeschichtliche Aufsatze runden den Band ab.

This collection of character pieces by Swedish, Finnish, Norwegian and Danish composers is a good illustration of the fact that there is plenty to discover in those areas of Europe that more rarely enjoy the limelight. The composers featured in this volume were all famous in their day, and not only participated in European musical life but also helped to shape it: the Norwegian Agathe Backer-Grondahl, for example, was a pupil of Ferenc Liszt and Hans von Bülow, the Swede Ludvig Norman was also an outstanding concert pianist, and Niels Wilhelm Gade was the most important Danish romantic composer, conductor of the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra and a friend of Mendelssohn andSchumann.

Die Sammlung an Charakterstücken von schwedischen, finnischen, norwegischen und dänischen Komponisten zeigt auch gut, dass man sehr wohl in den Gebieten Europas vieles entdecken kann, die weniger in Rampenlicht stehen. Die Meister des Bandes waren zu ihrer Zeit nicht nur berühmte Komponisten und am europäischen Musiklebens beteiligt, sie beeinflussten es auch. Beispielsweise war die Norwegerin Agathe Backer-Grondahl eine Schülerin von Franz Liszt und Hans von Bülow, der Schwede Ludvig Norman war selbst ein ausgezeichneter Pianist. Niels Wilhelm Gade, der bedeutendste romantische Komponist Dänemarks, war Dirigent des Leipziger Gewandhausorchesters und Freund von Mendelssohn undSchumann.

'Six Pieces' Op. 19 is the first collection of piano pieces by Tchaikovsky which contributed significantly to his growing renown as most important Russian composer apart from Anton Rubinstein. Famous contemporary pianists like Nikolai Rubinstein and Hans von Bulow performed Reverie du soir (Op. 19, No. 1) or Theme original et variations (No. 6) in their concerts in the 1870s. Commissioned by his Moscow publisher P. I. Jurgenson, Six Pieces Op. 19 was composed by Tchaikovsky in the summer and autumn of 1873, i.e. during his time as professor of theory at the Moscow Conservatoire.Bulow had entered 'little changes' in his own copy of the first edition of Variations Op. 19/6. There is, however, no documentary proof which of Bulow's changes Tchaikovsky eventually included in the Nouvelle edition revue et corrigee par l'auteur of Op. 19 published only in 1890. The present new edition therefore contains both versions of the Variations. Tchaikovsky's version of the first edition can be found in the appendix of the present volume, Bulow's version expressly adopted by Tchaikovsky is presented together with Nos. 1-5 in the main text of the volume on the basis of the Nouvelle edition revue et corrigee par l'auteur from 1890.

Richard Strauss (1864-1949) originally wrote this work for solo piano and orchestra under the title Scherzo in D minor in 1886 for conductor and pianist Hans von Bülow, a large influence on Strauss' career. Von Bülow, however, consider the work a complicated piece of nonsense and wanted nothing to do it. Discouraged, Strauss set the work aside until 1889, when he met Scottish pianist Eugen d'Albert, who liked it while also suggesting some changes. With a new title, Burleske, and a dedication to d'Albert, the work was premiered on June 21st, 1890 in Eisenach at the Tonkünstlerfest with d'Albert at the piano and Strauss conducting. Despite this, Strauss remained convinced that the work lacked merit and refused to have the work published until 1894, although it eventually became one of his favorite works. Strauss never gave the work an opus number, but many consider it to be Op. 11, which is actually assigned to his Horn Concerto No. 1 in E-flat. Instrumentation: 2+Picc.2.2.2: 4.2.0.0: Timp: Str (9-8-7-6-5 in set): Solo Piano.
