Little Symphony After Pictures Of Roswitha Bitterlich = Kleine Sinfonie Nach Bildern Der Roswitha Bitterlich. Score

1953044510Wien / Vienna: Universal 1953. 1st Edition . Soft cover. Very Good. 117 Pp. Softcover Large Format. Inscribed Jan. 3 1954 By Zeisl To His Friend Hugo Apparently A Close Friend Of The Schoenfeld Sisters Violinists. Erich Zeisl 1905 - 1959 Often Spelled Eric Was An Austrian-Born American Composer. Born To A Middle Class Jewish Family In Vienna Zeisl Was The Son Of Kamilla Feitler And Siegmund Zeisl. His Musical Precocity Enabled Him To Gain A Place At The Vienna State Academy Against The Wishes Of His Family When He Was 14 At Which Age His First Song Was Published. While There He Studied With Richard Stöhr Joseph Marx And Hugo Kauder. He Won A State Prize For A Setting Of The Requiem Mass In 1934 But His Jewish Background Made It Difficult To Obtain Work And Publication. After The Anschluss In 1938 He Fled First To Paris Where He Began Work On An Opera Based On Joseph Roth's Job And Then To New York City. Eventually He Went To Hollywood Where He Worked On Film Music But Increasingly Felt Isolated And Ill At Ease With The Production-Line Demands Of His Employers. Among The Films For Which He Wrote Music Were The Postman Always Rings Twice 1946 And Abbott And Costello Meet The Invisible Man 1951. Zeisl's Style Was Essentially Tonal And Conservative Compared To Contemporaries Such As Arnold Schoenberg And Thus Not Totally Unsuited To Film Music Composition. But His Heart Lay Elsewhere. At One Stage He Was Employed To Arrange The Music For A Highly Inaccurate Stage Show About The Life Of Tchaikovsky Song Without Words. His Anguish About His Reduction To Such Work Together With The Straits To Which Other Émigré Composers In America Were Reduced At The Time Is Evident In A Letter Written To A Friend In 1945: 'Even Milhaud Stravinsky Tansman Are Struggling. Béla Bartók Died In New York Of Hunger! . Last Year I Orchestrated A Tchaikowsky Operetta Which Provided A Living For 8 Months But Why Does Tchaikowsky Have To Be Put Into An Operetta . No Composer Is Important Here'. Nonetheless Zeisl Was Able Eventually To Find Academic Appointments And Time To Compose In His Own Style. These Works Included A Variety Of Chamber Music A Piano Concerto A Concerto For Cello Written For Gregor Piatigorsky And A Setting For Choir Soloists And Orchestra Of Psalm 92 In Hebrew Which He Titled Requiem Ebraico Hebrew Requiem Written In 1944-5 In Memory Of His Father. A Work Of Variations For Orchestra Was Based On The Christmas Carol "It Came Upon A Midnight Clear." His Opera Hiob Job Was Never Completed. Zeisl Was Married To Gertrud Susanne Jellinek. His Daughter Barbara Zeisl Schoenberg Married Ronald Schoenberg The Son Of The Composer Arnold Schoenberg. His Grandson Is Lawyer E. Randol Schoenberg. Zeisl's Status As A Proscribed Musician Under The Nazi Regime Has Been One Element In A Revival Of Interest In His Music Some Of Which Is Now Available On Cd. The Premiere Performance Of The Requiem Ebraico Was Held In Los Angeles In The Hollywood First Methodist Church On April 8 1945 By Hugo Strelitzer Conducting The Fairfax Temple Choir. <br/> <br/> Universal paperback

Renee VIVIEN - (to Natalie Clifford BARNEY)Biblio.com

Lettre d'amour autographe signée adressée à Natalie Clifford Barney : ""J'ai laissé mon cur sur tes lèvres il y frémira quand tu me diras : Je t'aime !"" Autograph love letter signed and addressed to Natalie Clifford Barney: ""I left my heart upon your lips it will tremble there when you say to me: I love you!""

190079028s. l. Londres London 1900. Fine. s. l. Londres London Le 18 mars 1900 9.90 x 15.20 cm 14 pages sur 3 doubles feuillets et 1 feuillet simple Very long autograph letter handwritten by Renée Vivien signed Pauline written in black ink on three bifolia with letterhead from 24 Hyde Park Street and one single leaf. Horizontal folds inherent to mailing. A beautiful love letter sent from London while Renée was staying with her family: « Quand je pense qu'un télégramme va banalement et brutalement t'apprendre que je reste encore une semaine à Londres j'ai envie de pleurer. Et pourtant il ne faut pas que je pleure cela m'affaiblirait trop et j'ai besoin de toutes mes forces et de mon courage. » This painful separation is in the young womans eyes a necessary evil the promise of a radiant future: « Si je te fais ce chagrin mon amie c'est pour que nous soyons plus heureuses après. . Ne m'en veux pas de te faire attendre je souffre plus que toi ; et si je t'impose en me l'imposant moi-même cette souffrance du désappointement c'est afin de mériter mieux l'amour que tu m'accordes et le bonheur que tu me donnes par la douleur et par le sacrifice. Je serai ainsi plus digne de toi et tu m'aimeras mieux pour les larmes que j'ai offertes à notre amour. » Only a few months had passed since Renée and Natalie had begun seeing each other and one can already sense here the importance of this bond for the Muse of Violets and her insatiable need to be loved: « Tu me pardonnes dis Tu me souris toujours Je t'en prie envoie-moi ton pardon afin que je le sente comme une rosée sur mon front. Dis-moi de loin que tu m'aimes toujours et je t'entendrai à travers tout l'espace qui nous sépare. . Je t'aime à en mourir enfant chérie qui es le beau sourire blond de ma vie. Tout ce que je te dis et sic sincère. Crois-moi. Aime-moi. » Idealizing this relationship she launches into a magnificent litany: « Te faire souffrir toi qui m'as donné la joie rayonnante de mon existence ! Toi qui m'as fait aimer la vie ! - Toi qui m'as mis tant de beaux rêves dans l'âme tant de bonheur et tant de chaleur au cur ! - Toi qui es ma consolation mon espérance mon extase la merveille et le miracle de ma vie ! - Toi qui m'as donné l'amour qui me l'as révélé qui me l'as fait sentir et comprendre ! - Toi que j'aime ! » A superb letter-river imbued with the consuming passion of the Muse of Violets for her Amazon. At the end of 1899 through Violette Shillito Renée Vivienthen Pauline Tarnmet Natalie Clifford Barney cette Américaine plus souple qu'une écharpe dont l'étincelant visage brille de cheveux d'or de prunelles bleu de mer de dents implacables Colette Claudine à Paris. Natalie fresh from a summer romance with the scandalous Liane de Pougy who had introduced her to sapphism paid little heed to this new acquaintance. Renée on the other hand was utterly captivated by the young American and would recount this coup de foudre in her autobiographical novel Une Femme m'apparut: J'évoquai l'heure déjà lointaine où je la vis pour la première fois et le frisson qui me parcourut lorsque mes yeux rencontrèrent ses yeux d'acier mortel ses yeux aigus et bleus comme une lame. J'eus l'obscur prescience que cette femme m'intimait l'ordre du destin que son visage était le visage redouté de mon avenir. Je sentis près d'elle les vertiges lumineux qui montent de l'abîme et l'appel de l'eau très profonde. Le charme du péril émanait d'elle et m'attirait inexorablement. Je n'essayai point de la fuir car j'aurais échappé plus aisément à la mort. Winter 18991900. The beginnings of the idyll. One evening Vivien is invited by her new friend to the studio of Mme Barney Natalies mother 153 avenue Victor-Hugo at the corner of rue de Longchamp. Natalie dares to read aloud her own verses. When Vivien tells her she admires them she replies that it is better to love the poet. A response truly worthy of the Amazon. J.-P. Goujon Tes blessures sont plu unknown

Andre BRETON - (Sarane ALEXANDRIAN)Biblio.com

Lettre autographe signée inédite adressée à Sarane Alexandrian

194774239Paris 1947. Fine. Paris mercredi 12 mars 1947 20.80 x 27 cm 1 page sur un feuillet enveloppe jointe Unpublished autograph letter signed addressed to Sarane Alexandrian one page written in blue ink on a sheet with the letterhead of the 1947 International Exhibition of Surrealism. Envelope enclosed. This letter is a response to a letter sent the day before by Sarane Alexandrian partially accessible on the Breton Archives website. Born in Baghdad and engaged in the Resistance in the Limousin it was during this period that Sarane Alexandrian discovered Dadaism. At twenty years old he became André Breton's right-hand man and was entrusted by the latter with directing the secretariat of Cause in order to respond to applications from numerous young artists from around the world wishing to join the Surrealist movement. In October 1948 he broke with the pope of Surrealism while maintaining his esteem and admiration for him: ""Near him one learned the savoir-vivre of poets whose essential article is a savoir-aimer. We admired him for the dignity of his behavior as a writer thinking neither of prizes nor decorations nor academies"" Alexandrian André Breton par lui-même 1971. The letter we offer marks the beginnings of this ephemeral but important relationship between the two writers. André Breton twenty years Sarane Alexandrian's senior seems to place great hopes in this young theorist who takes interest in his writings: ""Max-Pol Fouchet has not yet had me read 'Poetry and Objectivity' but your letter tells me enough for me to believe in a profound accord between us an accord based less on the reception you give to what my message has been able to be until now than on the very nature of your personal project which largely coincides with mine."" As for ""Poetry and Objectivity"" he adds: ""I would see the greatest interest in publishing in the catalog of the Surrealist exhibition some pages by you in which the principal ideas expressed in your letter would need to be barely transposed and especially those which touch upon the creation of an 'erotic mystique'."" This publication taking the form of a manifesto would indeed see the light of day and appear in the review Fontaine produced for the occasion of the 1947 International Exhibition of Surrealism at the Galerie Maeght. The text would earn great success for young Alexandrian who would henceforth be considered by his peers as the number two theorist of Surrealism. A very fine letter marking the beginning of the important but ephemeral relationship between the two master thinkers of Surrealism. unknown
