Still no Meistersinger year

ISBN 9783765104145. 5.5 x 8.5 inches. German.

According to Wagners plan, 1862 was to have been the Meistersinger year. Although the libretto was completed in January, its musical setting dragged on and was ultimately postponed. Among the reasons for this were his relocation to the town of Biebrich am Rhein, his crushing financial concerns, the constant flow of summer visitors from near and far, his temporary invalidity of several weeks following a dog bite...All of this can be read in detail in the letters which also include Wagners artistic successes of that year: In Frankfurt, he conducted his Lohengrin for the very first time (twelve years after the first performance!); he introduced the Meistersinger Overture in Leipzig and organized concerts with scenes from his operas in Vienna. Of far-reaching biographical import are his complete amnesty he was once again allowed to return to his native Saxony as well as his further distancing and ultimately final separation from his wife Minna.

Still no Meistersinger year.

The prelude to the opera Die Meistersinger von Nurnberg was given its world premiere in Leipzigs Gewandhaus on 11 November 1862 in a concert that Wagner organized in conjunction with Hans von Bulow and the composer Wendelin Weissheimer. Wagner personally conducted his own work. The concert was a financial flop; artistically, however, it seems to have been an extraordinary success, for Wagner reported the following day to Joachim Raff: My Meistersinger was excellently played, and the DaCapo demanded with great sincerity. It sounded very fine. Since then and increasingly after its publication in 1866, two years before the world premiere of the opera the prelude has been a beloved concert piece that impressively exposes the major themes of the Meistersinger.

Anton Bruckner (1824-1896) completed the 1st version of his Mass No. 3 in F minor in 1863, as Otto Kitzler was introducing him to the music of Richard Wagner, the composer he would emulate for the rest of his life. John Herbeck, who conducted the initial rehearsals for its premiere at the Augustinerkirch on June 16, 1872, warmly declared that it stood beside Beethoven's Missa Solemnis in greatness. Bruckner, often self-critical as a composer, went on to revise the work no less than four times until it was finally published it in 1894. More often heard today in the concert hall than in the church, the sprawling, hour-long work is admired today for its powerful directness. This critical edition was created in 1944 for the Bruckner Gesamtausgabe by Robert Maria Haas. Instrumentation: 2.2.2.2: 2.2.3.0: Timp: Org (ad libitum): Str (4-4-3-3-3 in set): Solo SATB: Mix Chor. The organ ad libitum is absent from the Haas edition.
