Abstract

Versions of Hamlet: Poetic Economy on Page and Stage takes a fresh look at an old textual problem: Instead of arguing the case for one of the three early Hamlet texts as »the one«, the book presents a new analytical approach which allows us to see different Hamlet versions and the interpretations emerging from them side by side.Using a corpus which not only includes the three early printed texts but also 24 stage versions of the play, the book introduces an analytical method based on an assumption voiced by writers through the ages, namely that every part of a literary work belongs to a functional whole. Apart from making the relation between textual alterations and changing interpretations of the Hamlet texts visible, this study is the first to present a systematic overview of this principle of »poetic economy«.

Abstract

Le mot "théâtre" désigne tout à la fois une pratique et un lieu. Exercé par des professionnels ou des amateurs, il peut investir des espaces très divers ; édifice, il est souvent le point fort d'une ville et de son histoire architecturale. Lieux-repères, les théâtres favorisent l'échange, l'expression, la pensée et la mémoire. Ils contribuent à la construction de la citoyenneté et de la culture. Leurs affectations différentes, leurs changements de noms et de propriétaires, leurs programmations, leurs scandales et leurs succès écrivent, avec elles ou contre elles, l'histoire des villes. Ce sont ces diversités que cet ouvrage se propose d'aborder.

Abstract

This volume brings together twenty-six essays from the world's leading scholars and practitioners of Spanish Golden Age theatre. Examining the startlingly wide variety of ways that Spanish comedias have been adapted, re-envisioned, and reinvented, the book makes the case that adaptation is a crucial lens for understanding the performance history of the genre. The essays cover a wide range of topics, from the early stage history of the comedia through numerous modern and contemporary case studies, as well as the transformation of the comedia into other dramatic genres, such as films, musicals, puppetry, and opera. The essays themselves are brief and accessible to non-specialists. This book will appeal not only to Golden Age scholars and students but also to theater practitioners, aswell as to anyone interested in the theory and practice of adaptation.

Abstract

The Original Portrayal of Mozart's Don Giovanni offers an original reading of Mozart's and Da Ponte's opera Don Giovanni, using as a lens the portrayal of the title role by its creator, the baritone Luigi Bassi (1766-1825). Although Bassi was coached in the role by the composer himself, his portrayal has never been studied in depth before, and this book presents a large number of new sources (first- and second-hand accounts), which allows us to reconstruct his performance scene by scene. The book confronts Bassi's portrayal with a study of the opera's early German reception and performance history, demonstrating how Don Giovanni as we know it today was not only created by Mozart, Da Ponte and Luigi Bassi but also by the early German adapters, translators, critics and performers who turned the title character into the arrogant and violent villain we still encounter in most of today's stage productions. Incorporating discussion of dramaturgical thinking of the late Enlightenment and the difficult moral problems that the opera raises, this is an important study for scholars and researchers from opera studies, theatre and performance studies, music history as well as conductors, directors and singers.

Abstract

This study of French early music revival gives us a vivid sense of how the cultural meanings of music were contested in the 19th century. It surveys the main patterns of revivalist activity while also providing in-depth studies of repertories stretching from Adam de la Halle to Rameau.

Abstract

Eduard Steuermann (1892–1964), Austrian-Polish-Jewish pianist from Galicia, student of Busoni, teacher and friend of Adorno, exiled American, sought-after soloist and pedagogue between Vienna, New York and Darmstadt, sought throughout his life the "almost impossible": to reconcile truth and beauty in uncompromising "devotion to music". The esteem in which he was held as the most important pianist for the establishment of New Piano Music, not only by the Viennese Schoenberg circle, has had a lasting effect on an appreciation of his person that goes beyond this. In 14 contributions that look at Steuermann from very different angles – discussing his life, his family and artistic ties, his music-making and composing, his work as a teacher and witty author – the view of the breadth of his work is widened on the basis of numerous previously unexplored materials, and the portrait of an artist who, according to Adorno, embodied the "conscience" of music itself is drawn. Eduard Steuermann (1892–1964), österreichisch-polnisch-jüdischer Pianist aus Galizien, Schüler Busonis, Lehrer und Freund Adornos, Exil-Amerikaner, gefragter Solist und Pädagoge zwischen Wien, New York und Darmstadt, hat zeitlebens das "beinahe Unmögliche" gesucht: in kompromissloser "Hingabe an die Musik" Wahrheit und Schönheit zu versöhnen. Die Wertschätzung, die ihm als dem wichtigsten Pianisten für die Etablierung Neuer Klaviermusik nicht nur des Wiener Schönberg-Kreises entgegengebracht wurde, hat einer darüber hinausgehenden Würdigung seiner Person nachhaltig entgegengewirkt. In 14 Beiträgen, die Steuermann von sehr unterschiedlichen Seiten betrachten – sein Leben, seine familiären und künstlerischen Bindungen, sein Musizieren und Komponieren, sein Wirken als Lehrer und geistvoller Autor erörtern –, wird anhand zahlreicher bisher unerschlossener Materialien der Blick auf die Breite seines Schaffens geweitet und das Porträt eines Künstlers gezeichnet, der nach Adorno das "Gewissen" der Musik selbst verkörperte.
