Boydell & Brewer Ltd Rethinking Hanslick: Music, Formalism, and
Book SynopsisAn innovative and incisive reassessment of a seminal figure in nineteenth-century musical life, through a fresh consideration of his aesthetic, critical, and autobiographical writings. Rethinking Hanslick: Music, Formalism, and Expression is the first extensive English-language study devoted to Eduard Hanslick--a seminal figure in nineteenth-century musical life. Bringing together eminent scholars from several disciplines, this volume examines Hanslick's contribution to the aesthetics and philosophy of music and looks anew at his literary interests. The essays embrace ways of thinking about Hanslick's writings that go beyond the polarities that have long marked discussion of his work such as form/expression, absolute/program music, objectivity/subjectivity, and formalist/hermeneutic criticism. This approach takes into consideration both Hanslick's important On the Musically Beautiful and his critical and autobiographical writings, demonstrating Hanslick's rich insights into the context in which a musical work is composed, performed, and received. Rethinking Hanslick serves as an invaluable companion to Hanslick's prodigious scholarship and criticism, deepening our understanding of the major themes and ideas of one of the most influential music critics of the nineteenth century. Contributors: David Brodbeck, James Deaville, Chantal Frankenbach, Lauren Freede, Marion Gerards, Dana Gooley, Nicole Grimes, David Kasunic, David Larkin, Fred Everett Maus, Timothy R. McKinney, Nina Noeske, Anthony Pryer,Felix Wörner Nicole Grimes is Marie Curie Fellow at University College Dublin (UCD) and the University of California, Irvine. Siobhán Donovan is a college lecturer at the School of Languages and Literatures, UCD. Wolfgang Marx is a senior lecturer at the School of Music, UCD.Trade ReviewThis Rethinking is timely . . . exploring the tension between Hanslick's ceaselessly revised treatise On the Musically Beautiful and his work as a practicing music critic. * DIE MUSIKFORSCHUNG *Make[s] a convincing case for further attention to this important figure in musical history. * JOURNAL OF MUSIOCLOGICAL RESEARCH *A significant reassessment. . . . A much-needed collection of studies that reevaluate Hanslick's overall output in a broader cultural context, in particular that of Vienna in the second half of the nineteenth century. . . . Opens new doors to future studies on Hanslick's stance as an aesthetician and critic in the appropriate sociocultural context. The book also succeeds in presenting numerous complex issues surrounding the general [written] output of Hanslick in a coherent manner. * MUSIC LIBRARY ASSOCIATION NOTES *A virtual kaleidoscope of scholarship. . . . Rich and thoroughly researched discussions . . . will find many grateful readers in countless and diverse disciplines. * MUSIC REFERENCE SERVICES QUARTERLY [Ann Lee] *Manages to traverse a good deal of the work of this long-lived and prolific writer on music, and to highlight-productively-the contrasts and even the ambiguities, with respect to matters of identity, national and otherwise, that the full range of his writings reveals. * MUSICAL TIMES *The first English-language study of its kind in 60 years. . . . Cogent and . . . exemplary essays in aesthetic history. * CHOICE *The contributors are determined to tease out the nuances and contradictions of Hanslick's thought. . . . David Kasunic sensitively explores the ambiguities of Hanslick's attitutdes to his own Jewish ancestry. . . . David Brodbeck continues his valuable series of investigations into Hanslick's reception of cultural Others in the contemporary sphere of 'German' music. * MUSIC & LETTERS *Rethinking Hanslick paints a diverse but coherent picture of Hanslick's critical career and its multifaceted cultural significance. Adding to recent work expanding the musicological understanding of Hanslick's legacy, this volume will be of major interest to musicologists, music theorists, and aestheticians engaged in the criticism and analysis of nineteenth-century music, as well as to those scholars more specifically concerned with the impact of Hanslick's aesthetics on twentieth-century formalist perspectives on music. -- Holly Watkins, Eastman School of MusicTable of ContentsIntroduction Negotiating the "Absolute": Hanslick's Path through Musical History Hanslick's Composers Hanslick, Legal Processes, and Scientific Methodologies: How Not to Construct an Ontology of Music Otakar Hostinský, the Musically Beautiful, and the Gesamtkunstwerk Hanslick on Johann Strauss Jr.: Genre, Social Class, and Liberalism in Vienna Waltzing around the Musically Beautiful: Listening and Dancing in Hanslick's Hierarchy of Musical Perception "Poison-Flaming Flowers from the Orient and Nightingales from Bayreuth": On Hanslick's Reception of the Music of Goldmark German Humanism, Liberalism, and Elegy in Hanslick's Writings on Brahms The Critic as Subject: Hanslick's Aus meinem Leben as a Reflection on Culture and Identity "Faust und Hamlet in Einer Person": The Musical Writings of Eduard Hanslick as Part of the Gender Discourse in the Late Nineteenth Century Body and Soul, Content and Form: On Hanslick's Use of the Organism Metaphor Hanslick and Hugo Wolf Battle Rejoined: Hanslick and the Symphonic Poem in the 1890s On "Jewishness" and Genre: Hanslick's Reception of Gustav Mahler Selected Bibliography List of Contributors Index

De Gruyter Nero in Opera: Librettos as Transformations of Ancient Sources
Book SynopsisThis book considers the story of Nero and Octavia, as told in the pseudo-Senecan Octavia and the works of ancient historiographers, and its reception in (early) modern opera and some related examples of other performative genres. In total the study assembles more than 30 performative texts (including 22 librettos), ranging chronologically from L'incoronazione di Poppea in 1642/43 until the early 20th century, and provides detailed information on all of them. In a close examination of the libretto (and dramatic) texts, the study shows the impact and development of this fascinating story from the beginnings of historical opera onwards. The volume demonstrates the various transformations of the characters of Nero and his wives and of the depiction of their relationship over the centuries, and it looks at the tension between “historical” elements and genre conventions. The book is therefore of relevance to literary scholars as well as to readers interested in the evolution of Nero’s image in present-day media.
