The goal is to make Beethoven’s self-positioning and claims to distinction comprehensible within the historical and social conditions at that time. While Beethoven rejected the feudalistic principle of inborn status and supplanted it with the Enlightenment’s principal of equality, he nevertheless made elite claims to distinction based largely on the criteria of education, civilized behavior, and type of occupation. His positioning of himself in the group of hohere Menschen as well as his dissociation from the common citizen can be understood against the background of the then prevailing disparate social structure with its gradations between lower and higher levels.","PeriodicalId":42754,"journal":{"name":"ARCHIV FUR MUSIKWISSENSCHAFT","volume":"71 1","pages":"172-190"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89902375","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This reading is rather superficial, however, since it relies on a vague notion of logic. In this paper the author shows: (i) that already in Harmonics I-II, Aristoxenus proves a number of theorems; (ii) that almost all proofs can be syllogistically reconstructed and do not involve inacceptable logical gaps; (iii) that the mathematical proofs are consistent with Aristoxenus’s program of an empirical theory of music; and (iv) that Aristoxenus’s Rhythmics contains a great number of theorems that are proved in a logically weaker sense as defined in Aristotle’s Topics.","PeriodicalId":42754,"journal":{"name":"ARCHIV FUR MUSIKWISSENSCHAFT","volume":"59 1","pages":"128-158"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77554029","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This potential for innovation was largely a result of the integration of vocal material from the ensuing opera and its associated tempo changes. As seen in Mendelssohn and Wagner, this led to the hybridization of the sonata form, to the growth of slower episodes (especially at the beginning and end), and to symmetrical and teleological form concepts. Liszt defined his newly established symphonic poem as a “one-movement genre with changing tempo and meter.” The ways in which he radicalized the overture towards a flexible, individual tempo dramaturgy is demonstrated in Les Preludes , Tasso , and Hamlet .","PeriodicalId":42754,"journal":{"name":"ARCHIV FUR MUSIKWISSENSCHAFT","volume":"81 1","pages":"2-22"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90288075","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In his habilitation thesis of 1968, Dahlhaus attacked Meier’s rigorously historical, early studies that were based on the definitive importance of church modes for sixteenth-century composition. Dahlhaus, on the other hand, propagated an authentic-plagal general mode in the development towards major-minor tonality. Meier offered a fundamental critique of this approach in his 1974 publication The Modes of Classical Vocal Polyphony. Initially exposed not only to objective criticism but also to hostility, its importance as a scholarly treatise, fundamental to the understanding of the sixteenth-century music, only came to be appreciated posthumously.","PeriodicalId":42754,"journal":{"name":"ARCHIV FUR MUSIKWISSENSCHAFT","volume":"46 1","pages":"239-253"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80224701","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The subjective choice of hymns of the Nuremberg poet and scholar demonstrates the wide range of his connections and associates. The collection influenced the local Nuremberg song tradition (cf. Johann Dretzel’s hymnbook, 1731) and beyond, while the manuscript offers many primary sources for texts and melodies as well as for later, commonly used music-text composites.","PeriodicalId":42754,"journal":{"name":"ARCHIV FUR MUSIKWISSENSCHAFT","volume":"39 1","pages":"223-238"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82545481","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An analysis of Bach’s unfinished score shows that he implemented the first two parts of the dispositio entirely and the third part only partially. Any attempt to complete the unfinished fugue must first conclude the third part of the dispositio and then implement the dispositio’s final three parts according to directions given by Bach in the existing score. Strict consideration of the fugue’s contrapuntal technique leads to the conclusion that Bach planned it as a quadruple fugue.","PeriodicalId":42754,"journal":{"name":"ARCHIV FUR MUSIKWISSENSCHAFT","volume":"104 1","pages":"191-222"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82397632","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When these areas are taken into account, different questions arise. At the same time, peculiarities of Jankelevitch’s thinking (e. g. his apophatic method) become clearer, as in the relationship between “silence” and “engagement.”","PeriodicalId":42754,"journal":{"name":"ARCHIV FUR MUSIKWISSENSCHAFT","volume":"333 1","pages":"66-86"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76594518","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
