Mahler: The Illustrated Lives of the Great Composers

[PDF] Mahler: The Illustrated Lives of the Great Composers by Edward Seckerson at Arts-Photography

Description

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2003 im Fachbereich Kunst - Architektur; Baugeschichte; Denkmalpflege; Note: 1;0; Universitauml;t Passau (Lehrstuhl fuuml;r Kunstgeschichte); 31 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis; Sprache: Deutsch; Abstract: Der Philosoph Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889- 1951) war zwischen 1926 und 1928 am Bau eines Wohnhauses in der Wiener Kundmanngasse 19 beteiligt. Wittgensteins Schwester Margarethe Stonborough-Wittgenstein beauftragte zunauml;chst den jungen Architekten Paul Engelmann mit der Planung; spauml;ter beteiligte sich dann auch Ludwig Wittgenstein an Planung und Ausfuuml;hrung.Neben Chronologie und Baubeschreibung wird diese Arbeit sich mit den stilistischen Merkmalen des Hauses auseinandersetzen; und es soll versucht werden Unterschiede und Gemeinsamkeiten zu architektonischen Vorbildern aufzuzeigen. Die Philosophie Ludwig Wittgensteins wird nur eine untergeordnete Rolle spielen; da mir der Zusammenhang zwischen seiner Philosophie und der Architektur dieses Hauses nicht zu groszlig; erscheint; wie spauml;ter noch erlauml;utert wird. Die Arbeit enthauml;lt einen Uuml;berblick uuml;ber die erst seit den siebziger Jahren gefuuml;hrte Diskussion; die vornehmlich in Kunst- und Architekturkreisen gefuuml;hrt wird. Aus der Fachrichtung Philosophie finden sich keine ausfuuml;hrlichen Abhandlungen zu diesem Thema; was meines Erachtens bereits zeigt; dass man eine Uuml;berinterpretation des Wittgenstein- Hauses in philosophischer Hinsicht vermeiden sollte.

Review
5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. excellent as a single book on MahlerBy Mr John HaueisenActually. I bought this book chiefly because I would buy nearly any book that offers more information on my favorite composer. Gustav Mahler.This book offers some surprises: lots of illustrations AND a very good telling of Mahlers life story. The photographs include pictures of nearly all of Mahlers homes and composing cottages. many cartoons that newspapers ran about Mahler. and photos of the places and people with whom Mahler worked. It also has an excellent index for checking out specific points.Two other items of special interest are:Moritz von Schwinds engraving of "The Huntsmans Funeral." which was the inspiration for the funeral march in Mahlers first symphony.Otto Boehlers silhouettes of Mahler conducting in Vienna--this gives us an idea of what Mahlers conducting may have looked like to the musicians and the audiences of that time.If I had to recommend a single book on Mahler. it would be this one.0 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Good overview. profusely illustrated.By allandaleIve gone on periodic Mahler kicks since high school 50 years ago. This last time I went whole hog and read Alma Mahlers untrustworthy diaries. letters. a very good short biography (by Jonathan Carr) and this profusely illustrated book which is a pleasure even in the Kindle edition I bought.It includes most if not all of the photos existing of Mahler and Alma. his composing huts. and more. while providing a very good short biography that includes discussions of his music. Despite wide-reading about Mahler and decades of listening to his music. I found little to disagree with in the books overviews of the work.Another good book is "Mahler and His Music." also profusely illustrated.My favorite book on Mahler. though. is the non-technical but delightful "The Mahler Symphonies. an Owners Manual." by David Hurwitz.
