Abstract

Wolfgang Rihm (b. Karlsruhe, 1952) is the most performed living German composer. With his personal, expressive, and versatile music, he became the most prominent representative of his generation. His individual approach to music was established in the 1980s and he continues to explore and enlarge his original concepts today. His 1980s work is at the core of this book, more specifically his instrumental music: the Chiffre cycle and the string quartets. Thinking about Rihm includes reflecting on his interest in philosophy, his relation to fine arts, his awareness of principles found in nature, and his references to important composers from the past. His music is embedded in the past and the actuality in modernism and postmodernism. Notwithstanding Rihm's generosity in essays and introductions to his works, many aspects of the 'inner sound' of his music stay an elusive, ungraspable 'chiffre': a challenge for the analyst.

Abstract

Die spätesten Nachlassschriften von 1888 zeugen von immenser sprachlicher und gedanklicher Radikalisierung. Der Antichrist soll die gesamte „Umwerthung aller Werthe“ sein; in Ecce homo betreibt Nietzsche eine Genealogie seines eigenen Denkens und eröffnet neue Dimensionen der Selbstreflexion. Nietzsche contra Wagner resümiert Nietzsches schon weit zurückreichende Wagner-Kritik, während die Dionysos-Dithyramben die Lyrik zu erneuern streben. The last posthumous manuscripts from 1888 bear witness to an enormous stylistic and intellectual radicalization. The Antichrist purports to be a total “reevaluation of all values.” In Ecce homo, Nietzsche explores the genealogy of his own thinking, opening up new dimensions of self-reflection. Nietzsche contra Wagner sums up the many years of Nietzsche’s continuing critique of Wagner, while the Dionysian Dithyrambs seek to breathe new life into lyric poetry.
