Excerpt: Viktor Ullmann (1 January 1898, in Teschen, Austrian Silesia, Austro-Hungarian Empire, now divided between Cieszyn in Poland and eský Tín in the Czech Republic 18 October 1944, in KZ Auschwitz-Birkenau) was a Silesia-born Austrian composer, conductor and pianist. Viktor Ullmann was born on January 1, 1898 in Teschen, modern Cieszyn. Both his parents were from families of Jewish descent, but had converted to Roman Catholicism before Viktor's birth. As an assimilated Jew, his father, Maximilian, was able to pursue a career as a professional officer in the army of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In World War I he was promoted to colonel and ennobled. One writer has described Ullman's milieu in these terms: "Like such other assimilated German-speaking Czech Jews as Kafka and Mahler, Ullmann lived a life of multiple estrangements, cut off from Czech nationalism, German anti-Semitism and Jewish orthodoxy. Beginning in 1909 Viktor attended a grammar school (Gymnasium) in Vienna. His musical talents and inclinations soon gave him access to Arnold Schönberg and his circle of pupils. Upon finishing school, he volunteered for military service. After deployment on the Italian Front at Isonzo, he was granted study leave, which he used begin the study of law at Vienna University. There he also attended the lectures of Wilhelm Jerusalem. At the beginning of 1918 he was accepted in Schönberg's composition seminar. With Schönberg he studied the theory of form, counterpoint and orchestration. Ullmann was an excellent pianist, although he had no ambitions for a career as a soloist.

Chapters: Viktor Ullmann, Marcel Tyberg, Pavel Haas, Erwin Schulhoff, Fritz Weiss, Alma Rosé, Hans Krása, Simon Pullman, Gideon Klein, Rafael Schächter, Siegfried Translateur, László Weiner, James Simon, Rudolf Karel, Ludwik Holcman. Excerpt:Alma Rosé (November 3, 1906, Vienna April 5, 1944, Concentration Camp Auschwitz ) was an Austrian violinist of Jewish descent. Her uncle was the composer Gustav Mahler . Alma Rosé was deported by the Nazis to the infamous concentration camp at Auschwitz-Birkenau . There she directed an orchestra of terrified prisoners who played to their captors in order that they should stay alive. Alma Rosé died in the concentration camp, probably of food poisoning. Rosé's experience in Auschwitz was the subject of the controversial play "Playing for Time " by Arthur Miller . Early years Alma Rosé s father was the violinist Arnold Rosé (1863-1946) who was the leader of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra for 50 years: from 1881-1931 as well as leader of the Vienna State Opera orchestra and leader of the legendary Rosé String Quartet. Her mother was Gustav Mahler s sister Justine; she was named for Alma Mahler . Marriage Alma grew up to be a violinist. In 1930 she married the Czech violinist Vá a P íhoda (1900-1960), who was considered one of the great violin virtuosi of the 20th century. In 1935 the marriage was dissolved. In later years it was claimed that P íhoda had separated from his wife for opportunistic reasons because of National Socialism . However, these claims are unfounded: the chronology does not fit and, in any case, his second wife was also Jewish. Career Meanwhile Alma Rosé was following a highly successful career. In 1932 she founded the woman s orchestra Die Wiener Walzermädeln (The Waltzing Girls of Vienna). The concertmistress was Alma's close fr... ... Read more

Pendant la Première guerre mondiale, il devint colonel et fut anobli. Viktor fréquenta à partir de 1909 un lycée de Vienne en Autriche. Ses aptitudes et son inclinaison pour la musique le rapprochèrent assez tôt d'Arnold Schönberg et de son cercle d'élèves. Dès la fin de ses études, il accomplit volontairement son service militaire. Après son affectation sur le front italien (à Isonzo) une autorisation de poursuivre ses études lui fut accordée, dont il avait besoin pour commencer des études de droit à l'Université de Vienne. Début octobre 1918, il fut également accepté dans le cours de composition de Schönberg où il étudia la forme, le contrepoint et l'orchestration. Ullmann était un pianiste distingué qui n'ambitionnait toutefois pas une carrière de soliste. En mai 1919 il interrompit ces deux cycles d'étude et quitta Vienne pour Prague afin de se consacrer entièrement à ...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more

Excerpt: Leoš Janáček (Czech pronunciation: ) (baptised Leo Eugen Janáček) (July 3, 1854 - August 12, 1928), was a Czech composer, musical theorist, folklorist, publicist and teacher. He was inspired by Moravian and all Slavic folk music to create an original, modern musical style. Until 1895 he devoted himself mainly to folkloristic research and his early musical output was influenced by contemporaries such as Antonín Dvořák. His later, mature works incorporate his earlier studies of national folk music in a modern, highly original synthesis, first evident in the opera Jenůfa, which was premiered in 1904 in Brno. The success of Jenůfa (often called the "Moravian national opera") at Prague in 1916 gave Janáček access to the world's great opera stages. Janáček's later works are his most celebrated. They include the symphonic poem Sinfonietta, the oratorial Glagolitic Mass, the rhapsody Taras Bulba, string quartets, other chamber works and operas. He is considered to rank with Antonín Dvořák and Bedřich Smetana, as one of the most important Czech composers.
