Abstract

Né plus tardivement que le quatuor à cordes, après les instrumentations foisonnantes de la musique de chambre pour harmonie de la fin du xviiie siècle, le quintette à vents offre, par la richesse de ses timbres et l'amplitude des tessitures, un éventail de possibilités de traitement pour l'instrumentiste ou le compositeur. Cet ensemble de cinq instruments pourtant bien connu des musiciens - composé, rappelons-le, d'une flûte, un hautbois, une clarinette, un cor et un basson - est moins familier des mélomanes que le quatuor à cordes ou le duo piano-violon. Les œuvres pour cette formation sont nombreuses: cet ouvrage mentionne ainsi celles de Ropartz, Nielsen, Schmitt, Schoenberg, Milhaud, Hindemith, Carter et s'attarde plus particulièrement sur celles de Reicha et Ligeti.Les auteurs de cet ouvrage retracent l'essor du quintette à vent en se focalisant sur les points clefs de son histoire, sur les mutations des genres à travers les époques. Ils s'appuient notamment sur plusieurs pièces et enregistrements du xxe siècle. Un entretien avec Gilles Silvestrini et Sergio Menozzi, compositeurs contemporains, apporte pour conclure l'ouvrage un regard actuel et ouvert sur le monde, une manière de nous dire que cette formation semble encore promise à un bel avenir.

Abstract

"The Jazz Republic" examines jazz music and the jazz artists who shaped Germany's exposure to this African American art form from 1919 through 1933. Jonathan O. Wipplinger explores the history of jazz in Germany as well as the roles that music, race (especially Blackness), and America played in German culture and follows the debate over jazz through the fourteen years of Germany's first democracy. He explores visiting jazz musicians including the African American Sam Wooding and the white American Paul Whiteman and how their performances were received by German critics and artists. He also engages with the meaning of jazz in debates over changing gender norms and jazz's status between paradigms of high and low culture. By looking at German translations of Langston Hughes's poetry, as well as Theodor W. Adorno's controversial rejection of jazz in light of racial persecution, Wipplinger examines how jazz came to be part of German cultural production more broadly in both the US and Germany, in the early 1930s. Using a wide array of sources from newspapers, modernist and popular journals, as well as items from the music press, this work intervenes in the debate over the German encounter with jazz by arguing that the music was no mere "symbol" of Weimar's modernism and modernity. Rather than reflecting intra-German and/or European debates, it suggests that jazz and its practitioners, African American, white American, Afro-European, German and otherwise, shaped Weimar culture in a central way.
