Classissisme Viennese

Preamble:

On XVIIIeme, the melody is essential like the essential component to produce one music which is " beautiful, moving, penetrating and noble ".

During second half of XVIIIeme, the melody design develops; with the long melody sentences, one prefers a shorter and fragmented design. It is what allows Mozart and Haydn to introduce an element of dramatization into their works. The new use of the tonality, is another means of arriving for this purpose.
With the XVIIIeme any music and in the same tonic tonality “It finishes starts”.

The revolution of Mozart and Haydn will consist in dramatically articulating the passage of the tonic to dominant as well as the return to the tonic, and thus giving a tripartite and either bipartite impression to the piece. That represents the principal engine of the traditional sonata form, founded on the relation “tension-relaxation”, with a maximum tension towards the center.
They are these elements, summaries in a few words which characterize the esthetics of the “classicism Viennese”.

The passage of XVIIIme century in XIXme marks the transition between the classicism and
romanticism.
Beethoven, with horse over the 2 centuries, will push back to their extreme the limits of traditional, and will compose at the end of its life the first romantic works with its 9me symphony and its Fidelio opera.

. Beethoven à l'âge de 45 ans

Beethoven is born in Bonn in 1770. Very early it goes to Vienna in 1787 when it meets Mozart. In 1792, of return to Vienna, it continues its musical studies, receives the councils of Haydn and works the vocal composition with Salieri. He is appreciated as pianist and improviser.

Unfortunately, very early, in 1796, it feels the first attacks of deafness. Its love life goes from disappointment in disappointment.

He will be the first musician with living of his art in a completely independent way, because liking freedom over all he will never belong to any princely vault and will refuse any constraint.
From 1815 the financial problems accumulate, its Karl nephew of which it is occupied, causes only concern to him, and the pensions poured by its guards do not fall regularly any more.

Beethoven (buste réalisé par Bourdelle en 1902) . Its increasing deafness locks up it in a moral insulation. He dies exhausted and depressed on March 26, 1827.
Contrary to Mozart, buried in a common grave, Beethoven will be entitled to pompeuses funerals. Beethoven was supervised by the Austrian police force for its revolutionary affinities, this is why much from documents disappeared forever, after its death.

No artist, more than Beethoven opened as many prospects on Article His sonatas are a monument, especially the four last which will reject more than one virtuoso, his quartets are declared unplayable at the time, which makes him say:

“I do not worry about the cords of the violins when I compose”

Its symphonies prepare with the romanticism. In the “Pastoral one” it treats nature, storm, pastoral sounds.
In painting also, the artists release themselves from subordination to “the History”.

In France, Ingres will pass all his life to the research of the ideal curve, painting many the naked female ones while remaining in the traditional style, and a little later, Camille Corot will offer marvellous landscapes to us, announcing Delacroix.
The ninth symphony " the Ode with the joy " will inspire Mahler, which more than 60 years later, will take again the symphonies with voice and choruses.

Obviously I will not speak about all the musicians, that would be too long and impossible but how to speak about the music Viennese without speaking about Franz Schubert.

Discretion characterizes Schubert. A little too. This musician, forsaken of alive sound, was forgotten after his death. Does everyone know that Mozart died young person in his 36me year but which thinks of Schubert died in 31 years ?

.

Franz Schubert . Wire of a schoolmaster, it is born in Vienna on January 31, 1797. Very gifted, it receives lessons of his father, then of Saliéri. From 1813 to 1816, it helps his father in his task of teacher.

With the sale of some works and some rounds, it can finally carry out an independent existence. It carries out a life simple and modest, with a group of friends “Schubertiades organizes” and starts to be known in 1825.
It remains to him less than three years to live. Contrary to Mozart who travelled throughout his life, Schubert will never leave Vienna, it dies there on November 19, 1828.

The work of Schubert includes 10 symphonies, trios, quartets, quintets, parts for piano, sonatas, impromptus, moments musical, and an imagination.
He writes more than 600 Lieder (primarily Germanic vocal composition)

One day by reading partitions of Schubert that one had brought Beethoven to him known as: “That Ci will exceed me!” If Schubert also did not go far Beethoven in its symphonies, it exceeded certainly it in its works for piano.

The Romanticism was born.
