Robert Kahn: Tagebuch in Tönen: selected pieces for piano
No full textSelected pieces for piano by Robert Kahn (1865-1951) edited by Brian Hughes and Norbert Meyn, with introductory texts by Werner Grünzweig and Norbert Meyn. This edition has been prepared for the research project ‘Music, Migration and Mobility - The Legacy of Migrant Musicians from Nazi Europe in Britain’, a performance-led and multi-disciplinary project that aimed to better understand the significance of migration and mobility for music. Born into a wealthy Jewish family and educated in Mannheim, Robert Kahn had early success as a composer, enjoying the support of Joseph Joachim, Hans von Bülow, Clara Schumann and especially Johannes Brahms, with whom he spent several months in Vienna in 1887. As a composer of Lieder, chamber music and choral music he was widely performed and published by major publishers until his vilification by the Nazis, who removed him from his position at the Akademie in 1934. In 1939, when he was 73 years old, Robert Kahn and his wife Katharina emigrated to the UK, where he lived in Biddenden, Kent and Ashted, Surrey.
Having lost his position in public life after the Nazis came to power in 1933, Kahn withdrew to his country residence in Feldberg, about 85 miles (135 km) north of Berlin, his Haus Obdach (house refuge). Here he began to write piano music, surprised by the ‘sprudeling fountain’ (bubbling fountain) of inspiration (as he put it in a letter to his brother Paul) that kept bringing forth this music. At the point of his emigration to Britain in early 1939 he had written 211 pieces. He continued to write an average of almost 2 pieces per week for the next 10 years, reaching the staggering total of 1160
pieces.
For this taster-edition we have chosen a small selection that includes some of the stand-out pieces alongside those that represent important structural points, including the first five pieces, the pieces written immediately before and after Kahn’s emigration to Britain, number 500 (variations on no. 1), the piece marking the end of the war, and the final three pieces written in 1949.

Robert Kahn: Leaves from the tree of life
No full textMusic by Robert Kahn recorded by Ensemble Émigré on Rubicon Classics (RCD1040):
Romanze (Gemma Rosefield, cello and Danny Driver, piano); selections from 'Leaves from the Tree of Life' (Danny Driver, piano); Lieder (Norbert Meyn, tenor and Christopher Gould, piano); Quintet in C minor (Emily Sun, violin; Flora Bain, horn; Ingrid Pearson, clarinet; Gemma Rosefield, cello; Danny Driver, piano).
Robert Kahn was born in Mannheim in 1865 and died in Biddenden, Kent in 1951. Kahn became an influential professor of music at the Berlin Hochschule and before that had his works performed by the Joachim Quartet and the Berlin Philharmonic under Hans von Bülow. He avoided large scale romantic forms and became famed for his songs, choral works, chamber music and the huge Tagebuch in Tönen, (Music from the Tree of Life) a collection of solo piano works, suites for piano and lieder that run to over 1100 pieces. Branded 'degenerate' by the National Socialists, he was thrown out of his teaching positions and, in 1937, he left for the UK, settling in Kent and composing right up to his death. This album is a fascinating introduction to a composer that political extremism and hatred tried and failed to erase.
Please see the video tab below for an introduction to the recording by Norbert Meyn, and a discussion of the Quintet by Ingrid Pearson.
This album received a 5-star review from BBC Music Magazine (see the downloads tab below). A review by Gramophone Magazine is also available (to registered Gramophone website users only) at: https://www.gramophone.co.uk/review/kahn-leaves-from-the-tree-of-life
Singing a song in a foreign land
No full textIn this lecture recital, Norbert Meyn (tenor) and Robert Brewer (piano) performed a selection of songs composed by migrant musicians from Nazi-Europe who settled in Britain in the 1930s and 40s. The lecture told the stories of some of these musicians, and also reflected on the problems they encountered as well as the challenges their arrival posed for their British colleagues. Finally, with a view to what is going on in our world right now, it asked what we can learn from their experience about nationalism and protectionism and about the cultural significance of migration

(TPM) para mejorar eficiencia global de máquina evisceradora Meyn en una
empresa avícola, Chancay 2020”, fue planteada con el objetivo de Aplicar el
mantenimiento productivo total (TPM) para mejorar la eficiencia global de la
máquina evisceradora Meyn en una empresa avícola, Chancay 2020.
Esta investigación corresponde al tipo aplicado, con diseño pre experimental, de
nivel explicativo. En la investigación la población de estudio son los datos
cuantitativos sobre los problemas ocurridos que originaron el baja eficiencia global
de la máquina evisceradora Meyn antes de la aplicación del TPM, es decir, el
OEE y sus dimensiones disponibilidad, eficiencia y calidad doce semanas antes y
doce semanas después de la aplicación del TPM.
Los resultados demuestran que el OEE antes promedio es 75.37% y el OEE
después promedio es 96.40%, lo que ha permitido mejorar el OEE en 21.03%; el
VAN es S/. 83,289.73, la TIR 25% y el Beneficio-Costo es 3.0112 para un
