Paradigma Finalproblem? Perspektiven einer "Problemgeschichte des Komponierens"
No full textMit dem Begriff »Finalproblem« suchte der Musiksoziologe Paul Bekker zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts eine allgemeine kompositorische Problemlage im soeben vergangenen 19. Jahrhundert zu charakterisieren. Im Besonderen ging es ihm um die Symphonik zwischen Beethoven und Mahler. Bekkers Ansatz steht im Zentrum eines historiographischen Paradigmas, das als implizite wie explizite »Problemgeschichte des Komponierens« eine spezifische Konsequenz für die deutschsprachige akademische Musikanschauung und Musikgeschichtsschreibung zeitigt. Mit anderen Worten: Was bedeutet es eigentlich, wenn von einer Problemgeschichte des Komponierens die Rede ist? Und welche Rolle spielt dabei das Finalproblem? Der Beitrag geht verschiedenen Stationen der Entwicklung einer methodisch fundierten Problemgeschichtsschreibung nach, bevor die Bedeutung einer Problemgeschichte des Komponierens und ihre Konsequenzen für den musikgeschichtlichen Diskurs diskutiert werden. Abschließend werden die historiographischen Probleme und Perspektiven der musikalischen Schlussgestaltung, welche im Begriff des »Finalproblems« verdichtet erscheinen, einer kritischen Revision unterzogen.With the term "Finalproblem" (problem of finale) the music sociologist Paul Bekker at the beginning of the 20th century sought to characterize a general problem of composition in the just past 19th century. In particular, he was concerned with the symphony between Beethoven and Mahler. Bekker's approach is at the centre of a historiographical paradigm which, as an implicit as well as explicit "problem history of composing" (as in the case of Carl Dahlhaus, for example), shows a specific consequence for the German-speaking academic view of music and music historiography. In other words: What does it actually mean when we speak of a problem history of composing? And what role does the Finalproblem play? The paper examines various stages in the development of a methodologically established problem historiography before discussing the significance of a problem history of composing and its consequences for the music historiographical discourse. Finally, the historiographical problems and perspectives of the compositional design of musical finale, which appear to be condensed in the term "Finalproblem", are subjected to a critical revision

Are there new models of computation? Reply to Wegner and Eberbach
No full textWegner and Eberbach[Weg04b] have argued that there are fundamental limitations
to Turing Machines as a foundation of computability and that these can be overcome
by so-called superTuring models such as interaction machines, the [pi]calculus and the
$-calculus. In this paper we contest Weger and Eberbach claims

Choral und Symphonie. Mendelssohns Reformationssymphonie und die Berliner Jubiläumsfeiern zum 300. Jahrestag der Confessio Augustana
No full textIm Zentrum der Studie steht die Verwendung des Chorals protestantischer Provenienz als kompositorisches Idiom in der Symphonik des 19. Jahrhunderts mit besonderer Berücksichtigung der Finalgestaltung. Anhand der "Reformationssymphonie" von Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy und der Religions- und Kulturpolitik in Preussen in der ersten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts werden einige Eigentümlichkeiten in der noch ungeschriebenen Geschichte des symphonischen Chorals beleuchtet. Jene schlichten Melodien, unisono oder im Kantionalsatz, erhalten als musikalisches Erbe der Reformation im 19. Jahrhundert eine fundamentale Bedeutung für die Musik auch außerhalb des Kirchenraums. Vor dem Hintergrund der gleichzeitigen ästhetischen Erhöhung der Instrumentalmusik am Ende des Jahrhunderts markieren die strukturellen Eigenheiten in der Faktur des Chorals als distinktes kompositorisches Idiom somit auch den Übergang vom Liturgischen und Geistlichen hin zum Charakteristischen und Programmatischen.
The study focuses on the use of the chorale of Protestant provenance as a compositional idiom in 19th century symphonic music, with special attention to the design of finale. With reference to the "Reformation Symphony" by Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy and the religious and cultural politics in Prussia in the first half of the 19th century, some peculiarities in the still unwritten history of the symphonic chorale are illuminated. Those simple melodies, in unison or four-part setting, are given fundamental importance for music outside the church as well, as a musical legacy of the Reformation in the 19th century. Against the background of the simultaneous aesthetic elevation of instrumental music at the end of the century, the peculiarities in the structure of the chorale as a distinct compositional style thus also mark the transition from the liturgical and sacred to the characteristic and programmatic idiom
Search for Higgs shifts in white dwarfs
No full textWe report on a search for differential shifts between electronic and vibronic transitions in carbon-rich white dwarfs BPM 27606 and Procyon B. The absence of differential shifts within the spectral resolution and taking into account systematic effects such as space motion and pressure shifts allows us to set the first upper bound of astrophysical origin on the coupling between the Higgs field and the Kreschmann curvature invariant. Our analysis provides the basis for a more general methodology to derive bounds to the coupling of long-range scalar fields to curvature invariants in an astrophysical setting complementary to the ones available from high-energy physics or table-top experiments
Rose Wegner Family Collection 1884-2003 Bulk dates: 1937-1942, 2002-2003
No full textThis collection consists mainly of Rose’s mother Gertrud Leon’s letters to her in the years 1938-1942; other family members’ letters are also included. There are about 175 letters, 40 postcards and 20 telegrams including returned mail from Rose to her mother. Bernhard’s and Gertrud’s planned emigration to Cuba and then the USA is the main topic in the telegrams. In the letters, Gertrud talks a lot about her daily life and what other family members are doing; she also asks about Rose’s life and comments on what Rose tells her. The letters from other family members contain similar topics.The more recent correspondence between Peter Leon and Beate Niemann (2002-2003) deals with the past of Beate’s Nazi parents and their connection to the Leons, in whose house Beate was born.All correspondence as described above is located in Series I.The collection includes also some personal documents of the Rollmann/Koburger-Reiss family (1884-1986), family friends of the Wegner/Leons, located in Series II.The following individuals are mentioned in this collection:Leon, Bernhard; Leon, Gertrud; Leon, Peter; Mayer (née Leon), Ilse Jeanette; Mayer, Julius; Niemann, Beate; Wegner, Rose; Wegner, Steven.See inventory listRose Wegner, born in 1909, was the penultimate of Bernhard and Gertrud Leon's five children. Apparently, the family changed their name from Loewy to Leon. Bernhard was the youngest of six children in a family that had long lived in Berlin. He married Gertrud Markwald, whose family was also originally from Berlin. Rose had a sister, Ilse Jeanette, born in 1903, and three brothers, Arno, born in 1905, Heinz, born in 1907, and Gerhard, born in 1911. In Berlin, the Leons belonged to Rabbi Leo Baeck's congregation in Fasanenstrasse. Heinz emigrated to England when he was 18 or 19 years old, in approximately 1926. He would later help his siblings come to England.On March 31, 1933, Rose went to England and, thereafter, traveled back and forth between England and Germany. In 1936, Rose, who was a professional silversmith, returned to Germany to collect the silver from her workshop. In 1938, Rose married Steven Wegner (born March 14, 1901), another German refugee whom she met in England. Steven had been born Sally but changed it because he disliked that name.The Leon children attempted to get Bernhard and Gertrud out of Germany. They arranged for a visa to Cuba for their parents (emigration to Britain which was at war with Germany, was obviously not permitted). Bernhard died on April 16th, 1941 of natural causes, aggravated perhaps by political conditions in Germany. The visa process was delayed by the bureaucratic need to resubmit the papers for Gertrud alone. Eventually, the plan for Gertrud to emigrate collapsed and, in 1943, she was deported to Theresienstadt, where she again encountered Rabbi Leo Baeck. On September 10, 1944, Gertrud was deported to Auschwitz and was murdered there. Other relatives were also victims of the Holocaust, including Bernhard's older brother Moritz, who was thrown from stairwell of his fourth story apartment during a raid by the police. Moritz's maid, Grete, who tried to protect him, was stomped to death.In England, the three Leon brothers served in the British army. Heinz died of cancer in service in North Africa. After the war, Ilse met Leo Baeck again, who informed the family of Gertrud's deportation from Theresienstadt to Auschwitz. Arno returned after the war to Germany with the British Occupation Forces and is buried in the Jewish cemetery in Duesseldorf. Ilse (married to Julius Meyer with her children Daisy and Harald) and Gerhard remained in Britain. Rose and Steven remained in the greater New York metropolitan area, where they raised two children, Bryan (*summer 1939) and Marian. Steven died on May 17, 1968.In 2002, Beate Niemann approached Peter Leon, Gerhard’s son in London, to ask him about his family’s past because she was born in 1942 in Gertrud’s house at Manfred-von-Richthofen-Str. 125 in Berlin Tempelhof. Her parents had “bought” the house from Gertrud. Niemann’s father was SS-Sturmbannfuehrer Bruno Sattler. Niemann tried to find out more about her own and the Leon family. Her story was eventually filmed by the documentary film maker Yoash Tatari (DVD can be found in the LBI’s audio-visual collection) and published in 2003 by WDR (West German Broadcasting.) Peter Leon forwarded his whole conversation with Beate Niemann to his cousin Marian, Rose’s daughter.digitizedLetters #73 and #74 from and #25, #32, #42, #43, and #53 from 1941 are not extant.Levy, Eva.
