Schubert

A selection of articles related to Schubert:

Mahler conceived of the work in 1907, which was undoubtedly the worst year of his life. The summer of that year is likened to the three hammer blows of the Sixth Symphony (written in 1903-1904), three horrible events foretelling downfall and death. First, Mahler was pressured into resigning from his post as Director of the Vienna Court Opera due to religious and social issues; next, his oldest daughter Maria died from scarlet fever and diptheria; finally, Mahler himself was diagnosed with a congenital heart defect

It is difficult to overstate the importance of Goethe on the 19th century. In many respects, he was the originator of—or at least the first to cogently express—many ideas which would, in time, become familiar. Goethe produced volumes of poetry, essays, criticism, and scientific work, including a theory of optics and early work on evolution and linguistics

It is difficult to overstate the importance of Goethe on the 19th century. In many respects, he was the originator of—or at least the first to cogently express—many ideas which would, in time, become familiar. Goethe produced volumes of poetry, essays, criticism, and scientific work, including a theory of optics and early work on evolution and linguistics. He was fascinated by minerals and early mineralogy (the mineral goethite is named for him). His writings, most of which are philosophic and aphoristic in nature, spurred on the develop ...

The most important of Goethe's works produced before he went to Weimar were his tragedy Götz von Berlichingen (1773), which was the first work to bring him fame, and the novel The Sorrows of Young Werther (1774), which gained him enormous popularity as a writer in the Sturm und Drang movement.

* Encyclopedia II - Das Lied von der Erde - Structure

Das Lied von der Erde - The first movement. The first movement is entitled "Das Trinklied vom Jammer der Erde" ("The Drinking Song of the Earth's Sorrows") and deals with how life is so beautiful but so short, and that drinking is the best way to not think about how very short it is. The refrain, "Dark is life, as is death", sets a tone for the rest of the piece. The original poem only uses the phrase once, but Mahler edited the stanzas to include it as a refrain because it so reflected his attitude ...

* Encyclopedia II - Daniel Barenboim - Marriage

Daniel Barenboim was married to Jacqueline du Pre until her death in 1987. His friendship with musicians Itzhak Perlman, Zubin Mehta, and Pinchas Zukerman, and marriage to Jacqueline du Pre led to the famous film by Christopher Nupen of their Schubert "Trout" Quintet; collectively, the five referred to themselves as The Jewish Musical Mafia. As du Pres lay stricken with advanced Multiple Sclerosis, Barenboim lived with pianist Elena Bashkirova and fathered two children with Bashkirova before his wife's death, apparently with his wife's consent. Barenboim and Bashkirova marri ...

* Encyclopedia II - Hail Mary - Musical settings

The Ave Maria has been set to music numerous times. Among them is the version by Charles Gounod (1859), adding melody and words to Johann Sebastian Bach's first prelude from the Well-Tempered Clavier. Antonín Dvořák's version was composed in 1877. Another setting of Ave Maria was written by Giuseppe Verdi for his 1887 opera Otello. This text was also very often set by composers in the Renaissance, including Josquin Desprez, Orlando di Lasso, and Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina. Before the Council of Trent there were actuall ...

Rosalind, a young woman in hiding, takes on the disguise of a man and the name of Ganymede in Shakespeare's comedy, As You Like It.

Samuel Beckett as an absurd dramatist

Samuel Bracelay Beckett (1906-1989) is concerned as one of the leading dramatists of the post-modern era. He brought revolutionary changes in the standards and rules by which a drama has been appreciated from many centuries and introduced a new kind of drama that Martin Esslin labelled under the title of ‘The Theatre of the Absurd’. In 1969, he received Noble Prize for literature, one of the few time of this century that almost everyone agreed that the recipient deserved it.
