Zum Formproblem bei Gustav Mahler

Mahler’s music offers the opportunity for an enrichment of the unilateral identity paradigm in musicological research through the concept of cultural and aesthetic hybridity. This chapter addresses the plurality of idioms, styles, and voices in Gustav Mahler’s music in the context of the cultural and linguistic heterogeneity which characterises Vienna at the turn of the century. Analytical categories are proposed that are able to serve the plurality and hybridity in Mahler’s music; relevant passages in his work are discussed according to these categories: 1. tragic breakdown (of the musical subject); 2. grotesque destabilisation; 3. alienated sound; 4. plurality of voices; 5. metamorphosis and mimesis; 6. thematic instability; 7. hybridity of genres and forms; 8. eclipses of the author

History Of Subjectivity

This article studies selected works of Gustav Mahler and Sigmund Freud as enacting the history of subjectivity as a problematic narrative of the deconstruction and construction of identity. It views Mahler and Freud's cultural productions as historically parallel examples of a certain way of imagining human subjectivity as a reflective activity. It studies their ideas on identity as a form of assimilation, and looks at how their “works” took a turn towards subjectivity. The article shows that Freud, Mahler, and their modernist contemporaries did not opt to live in their songs and selves, but instead found a new way to imagine the relations among individuals.

Gustav Mahler

Der Wunsch sich größeren musikalischen Formen zuzuwenden, führte Casella dazu, sich mit der sinfonischen Musik Mahlers zu befassen. Casellas intensives Studium macht sich als erstes in seiner zweiten Sinfonie, c-moll 1908/09, bemerkbar. In den späteren Jahren unternimmt Casella den Versuch, Mahlers sinfonisches Werk auch in Frankreich publik zu machen. Die Wechselbeziehung beider Musiker sind gleichermaßen bedeutsam für die Mahler-Rezeption wie auch für die Entwicklung des zwei Jahrzehnte jüngeren italienischen Komponisten. (Autor)
