Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Goethe and Zelter spent a staggering 33 years corresponding or in the case of each artist, over two thirds of their lives. Zelter's position as director of the Sing-Akademie zu Berlin and Goethe's location in Weimar resulted in a wide-ranging correspondence. Goethe's letters offer a chronicle of his musical development, from the time of his journey to Italy to the final months of his life. Zelter's letters retrace his path as stonemason to Professor of Music in Berlin. The 891 letters that passed between these artists provide an important musical record of the music performed in public concerts in Berlin and in the private and semi-public soir of the Weimar court. Their letters are those of men actively engaged in the musical developments of their time. The legacy contains a wide spectrum of letters, casual and thoughtfully composed, spontaneous and written for publication, rich with the details of Goethe's and Zelter's musical lives. Through Zelter, Goethe gained access to the professional music world he craved and became acquainted with the prodigious talent of Felix Mendelssohn. A single letter from Zelter might bear a letter from Felix Mendelssohn to another recipient of the same family, reflecting a certain community in the Mendelssohn household where letters were not considered private but shared with others in a circle of friends or family. Goethe recognized the value of such correspondence: he complains when his friend is slow to send letters in return for those written to him by the poet, a complaint common in this written culture where letters provided news, introductions, literary and musical works. This famous correspondence contains a medley of many issues in literature, art, and science; but the main focus of this translation is the music dialogues of these artists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Goethe's Letters to Zelter: With Extracts From Those of Zelter to Goethe, Selected, Translated, and Annotated Any new light thrown upon Groethe's genius and character should be welcome to the student of German literature. The recent production of the Jahrbuch, and the affiliation of the English Goethe Society to the Weimar Goethe-Gesellschaft, have so stimulated the interest of readers in the publication of new matter affecting Goethe, that it is hoped the present volume may be opportune rather than otherwise. Many years ago, I studied the Goethe-Zelter Correspondence, with the wish to learn all I could about the tutor of Mendelssohn, the friend of Goethe, and "the restorer of Bach to the Germans." Such was the compliment paid to Zelter's memory by Abraham, the father of Felix Mendelssohn. How strenuously the son endorsed his father's opinion is a matter of common knowledge to the readers of many works which illustrate the history of the composer's life. But with us Englishmen the pupil's fame has so completely eclipsed that of the teacher, that Zelter is little more than a name. He was no ordinary man. A stonemason by trade, he became a musician by choice, and was so successful in his art-career as ultimately to conduct the Singakademie at Berlin. He also achieved the still higher distinction of becoming Goethe's most intimate correspondent. Beginning with mere reports of Berlin gossip, and casual interchange of criticisms on men and things, he ended by drawing out, as few did, the inmost sympathies and chosen confidences of the Weimar sage. Goethe's respect for Zelter's force of character was apparently never neutralized by his dogmatism, or the rash and mistaken opinions traceable here and there throughout the correspondence.

Book excerpt: Mendelssohn, Goethe, and the Walpurgis Night is a book about tolerance and acceptance in the face of cultural, political, and religious strife. Its point of departure is the Walpurgis Night. The Night, also known as Beltane or May Eve, was supposedly an annual witches' Sabbath that centered around the Brocken, the highest peak of the Harz Mountains. After exploring how a notoriously pagan celebration came to be named after the Christian missionary St. Walpurgis (ca. 710-79), John Michael Cooper discusses the Night's treatments in several closely interwoven works by Goethe and Mendelssohn. His book situates those works in their immediate personal and professional contexts, as well as among treatments by a wide array of other artists, philosophers, and political thinkers, including Voltaire, Lessing, Shelley, Heine, Delacroix, and Berlioz. In an age of decisive political and religious conflict, Walpurgis Night became a heathen muse: a source of inspiration that was neither specifically Christian, nor Jewish, nor Muslim. And Mendelssohn's and Goethe's engagements with it offer new insights into its role in European cultural history, as well as into issues of political, religious, and social identity -- and the relations between cultural groups -- in today's world. John Michael Cooper (Southwestern University) is the author of Mendelssohn's "Italian" Symphony (Oxford University Press).
