Osnabr\u00fcck Symphony Orchestra<\/strong> Maurice Ravel<\/strong> These three concert works are all related to the year 1918, which marked the end of the First World War. The pianist Ludwig Wittgenstein, who lost his right arm in military service, used his family\u2019s vast fortune to commission piano works for the left hand. The works produced included compositions by Prokofiev, Hindemith, Korngold, Britten and, most famously, Ravel\u2019s Piano Concerto. These works commissioned by Wittgenstein are indicative of how he morally opposed his war wound and would overcome his personal artistic disability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ravel\u2019s composition \u201cLa Valse\u201d was originally meant to represent the apotheosis of the Viennese waltz. But he was unable to maintain this idea after the country that saw the birth of the waltz and France had become involved in hostilities. The waltz becomes increasingly distorted as the piece unfolds, with darker sounds, and ends in a crash. In the image of the Viennese waltz, Ravel shows how the Danube Monarchy caused itself to come to a catastrophic end in a disastrous war. <\/p>\n\n\n\n From August 1914 onwards, concert programs were placed wholly at the service of patriotism. Works that incorporated parts of anthems or patriotic songs or that addressed victorious emergence from battle, such as Beethoven\u2019s Third and Fifth Symphonies, were performed. In October 1914, the Berlin press reported the \u201csixth rendition of the Eroica in Berlin in 36 hours.\u201d A completely different picture emerges in 1918: throughout the world, Brahms symphonies shaped concert programs seeking to escape from political instrumentalization. The multiple performance of those symphonies in 1918 is a sign of how people used music to find a counterpart to offset the deplorable experiences of war. The Second Symphony fostered a sense of cheer, serenity, and relief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n November 12, 2018, 8 pm, Osnabr\u00fcckHalle<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" These three concert works are all related to the year 1918, which marked the end of the First World War.
