For the first time, Volume VII/1 of the Complete Critical Edition presents Eichendorff's complete satirical dramas in reliable textual form. Alongside the better-known dramas, Krieg den Philistern! ("War on the Philistines!") and Die Freier ("The Suitors"), the inclusion of the literary satire Meierbeth's Glück und Ende ("Meierbeth's Luck and End") will help to expand perceptions of Eichendorff's work. The author reveals his most sarcastic side, sparing none of the literary conceits of the second half of the 19th century. The texts Wider Willen ("Against One's Will") and Das Incognito ("The In

Beginning with the simple question, "Why did audiences grow silent?" Listening in Paris gives a spectator's-eye view of opera and concert life from the Old Regime to the Romantic era, describing the transformation in musical experience from social event to profound aesthetic encounter. James H. Johnson recreates the experience of audiences during these rich decades with brio and wit. Woven into the narrative is an analysis of the political, musical, and aesthetic factors that produced more engaged listening. Johnson shows the gradual pacification of audiences from loud and unruly listeners to the attentive public we know today. Drawing from a wide range of sources--novels, memoirs, police files, personal correspondence, newspaper reviews, architectural plans, and the like--Johnson brings the performances to life: the hubbub of eighteenth-century opera, the exuberance of Revolutionary audiences, Napoleon's musical authoritarianism, the bourgeoisie's polite consideration. He singles out the music of Gluck, Haydn, Rossini, and Beethoven as especially important in forging new ways of hearing. This book's theoretical edge will appeal to cultural and intellectual historians in many fields and periods.
