OTD in Music History: Composer, conductor, and pedagogue Alexander von Zemlinsky (1871 - 1942) is born in Vienna. Zemlinsky remains a somewhat neglected figure in musical history. He was admitted to the Vienna Conservatory in 1884, where he studied with Anton Bruckner (1824 - 1896). In 1893, Johannes Brahms (1833 - 1897) attended a performance of his newly-composed Symphony, and soon thereafter also attended a performance of one of Zemlinky's quartets. Impressed, Brahms recommended the young composer to his own publisher. It was also around this time that Zemlinsky met Arnold Schoenberg (1874 - 1951); the two became very close friends and then brothers-in-law when Schoenberg married Zemlinsky's sister. Zemlinsky also gave Schoenberg lessons in counterpoint – earning a place in history books as the only music teacher that Schoenberg ever had. Zemlinsky's reputation as a composer was further cemented when Gustav Mahler (1860 - 1911) conducted the premiere of his opera "Es war einmal" ("Once Upon a Time") in 1900. That same year, Zemlinsky met and fell in love with Alma Schindler (one of his composition students), although she soon broke off the relationship to marry . . . Mahler. From 1906 until 1933, Zemlinsky held a series of important conducting positions, and in 1924 he led the premiere of Schoenberg's monodrama "Erwartung.” His pupils during this time also included Erich Wolfgang Korngold (1897 - 1957). Zemlinsky wisely fled Germany in 1938 and relocated to New York, where he quietly lived out the rest of his life. His best-known original work is his "Lyric Symphony" (1923), which exerted a profound effect on Alban Berg's (1885 - 1935) "Lyric Suite" (1926). PICTURED: A program for a 1923 concert that Zemlinsky (on piano) gave with noted French violinist Henry Marteau (1874 - 1934). Both men signed under their respective photos.

Watch "Zemlinsky: Sinfonietta ∙ hr-Sinfonieorchester ∙ Andrés Orozco-Estrada" on YouTube

Going to the Berlin Philharmonie tonight to hear this (among others) performed by the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra. I'm not familiar with Zemlinsky or the Polish NRSO, but am very much looking forward to the Philharmonie.

Y'all have a lovely Sunday! 😊

Hi

I don't know if anyone cares about it anymore but I am uploading Get A Life soundtrack to Youtube since it's really good! And not really available anywhere, so it needs to be kept forever!

All credit goes to creators and artists, nothing belongs to me

23年コンサート#33

3月19日　東京都美術館講堂

佐藤卓史　ピアノ

ブラームス　4つの小品Op.119より第1番間奏曲

ブラームス　6つの小品Op.118より第2番間奏曲、第6番間奏曲

ツェムリンスキー　デーメルの詩による幻想曲集Op.9

シェーンベルク　6つのピアノ小品Op.19

ベルク　ピアノソナタOp.1

コルンゴルト　4つの小さな楽しいワルツ

東京都美術館のエゴン・シーレ展に合わせて19世紀末〜20世紀初めのヴィーンをテーマにしたプログラム。

このプログラムをブラームス晩年のピアノ小品から始めるのは正しい。表現主義と表現の拡大には向かわず、ミニマリズムと抽象へ向かう。そして調性のゆらぎはシェーンベルクたちに直結する。こうして聴くとブラームスのOp.118、119は、ツェムリンスキー初期の作品よりも未来的に感じられる（ツェムリンスキーのほうが伝統的に聴こえる）。

最後に趣向を変えて、神童コルンゴルト少年時代の小粋なワルツ集。いきいきとした性格表現、私的には第2曲のMargitがとても気に入った。
