Obsah předmětu

Mahler's deep feelings of social alienation led him to take refuge in his inward subjectivity, allowing him to build the most magnificent and highly personal musical universe of the 19th centuryno wonder Adorno thinks his music sympathises with "social outcasts"! The course will explore how Mahler translated his personal life and thoughts into music. Mahler's works are not only musical but also philosophical: Constantin Floros likens Mahler to Dostoyevsky, and, according to Adorno, Mahler "takes up Nietzsche's insight." Consequently, apart from Mahler's personal life, relevant cultural influences on Mahler will also be discussed during the course. Each lesson will focus on a specific period in Mahler's life. 1. Das klagende Lied and Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen 2. Symphony No. 1 in D major 3. Symphony No. 2 in C minor 4. Symphony No. 3 in D minor 5. Symphony No. 4 in G major 6.

Looking at Vienna from today's perspective is like looking at a different planet. It is hard to imagine a time when the average person was more attuned to cultural events (e.g., classical music, theatre) than to sports or politics, yet Vienna during the 19th century was such a place and Gustav Mahler was, arguably, its most influential cultural influencer. According to the Viennese writer Stefan Zweig, to have spotted Mahler on the street was an event one had to proudly report to one's comrades as a "personal triumph"in contrast, no one would have considered running into a politician a big event. Why was Mahler considered such an important figure? Why were his compositions so influential and what role did they play in music history? To answer these and similar questions, the course will introduce students to Gustav Mahler's life and music.
On completion of this subject students should be able to read a score of Mahler´s music, to analyze the structure of the music, to understand the symbols used in the music and therefore describe the narrative of the music.In addition, students will understand how Mahler´s music is authobiographical and where is fits into Western European music. Skills: ability to read an orchestral score is an asset, but not completely necessary. In addition to English language, some basic knowledge of German language would be an advantage.
