Today on 1832, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe has died.

Born in 1749 in Frankfurt am Main, Goethe's work spanned poetry, drama, literature, theology, humanism and science, demonstrating a versatility unparalleled among his contemporaries.

Goethe's early works, such as The Sorrows of Young Werther, brought him fame, reflecting the essence of the Sturm und Drang movement, which exalted individual emotion and natural energy over the rationalism of the Enlightenment. This novel in particular caused widespread resonance, influencing the Romantic movement and cementing Goethe's place in literary history.

Goethe continued to work prolifically throughout his career, but it was Faust, a dramatic work in two parts, that cemented his legacy. In Faust, Goethe explores human aspirations and the complexities of human existence, combining classical motifs with the spirit of the Romantic era.

This masterpiece, which occupied Goethe throughout his life, remains an essential work illustrating his intellectual depth and creative genius.

OTD in Music History: Ostensibly to commemorate the first anniversary of Ludwig van Beethoven’s (1770 – 1827) death, Beethoven's worshipful younger colleague Franz Schubert (1797 – 1828) puts on the only public concert that Schubert would ever give featuring his own original works in 1828. This historically important concert was both a critical and financial success… but unfortunately, it was also quickly overshadowed by Niccolo Paganini’s (1782 – 1840) first triumphant appearances in Vienna. Schubert died of typhoid fever just eight months later, at the age of 31. Notwithstanding his tragically early death, in some ways, Schubert was actually a rather *late* developer as a composer – it was only in the final year and a half of his life (perhaps not coincidentally following the death of his idol Beethoven) that he truly came into full flowering as a composer of instrumental music written in larger forms. Speaking of Schubert's unparalleled artistic growth during that period, 20th Century British composer Benjamin Britten (1913 - 1976) marveled at what he dubbed “the most miraculous 18 months in musical history…” PICTURED: An 1821 printed first edition sheet containing three of Schubert's earliest published songs -- "Schafer’s Kalgelid" ("Shepherd’s Lament"), “Heidenroslen” (“Little Rose of the Field,”) and “Jager’s Abendlied” (“Hunter’s Evening Song”) -- all featuring texts written by the great German poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 – 1832). In his earliest printed publications, Schubert confirmed their authenticity by appending his "control mark" on the back of the folio, as can be seen here (albeit in a slightly trimmed fashion) in the final two photos. Of additional note is the fact that this score contains an early and interesting metronome marking (see Photo #4): "Maelzel's Metronom ([eighth note symbol] = 120.)" As this rather unusual terminology suggests, in 1821, the metronome was still a new and novel device; Johann Maelzel (1772 - 1838) -- a good friend of Beethoven's -- had only patented the first modern metronome 5 years earlier, in 1816.

Es ist in manchen Fällen notwendig und freundlich, lieber nichts zu schreiben als nicht zu schreiben.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832

Wenn schon deutsch, dann auch Goethe. Ich möchte ja sagen dass da ein Rechtschreibfehler drin ist, aber wer bin ich schon das zu sagen. 😉

Wirklich interessant, dass der gute alte Johann Friedrich auch schon den Ratschlag gab, dass man manchmal eben einfach Mist schreiben muss, um überhaupt etwas zustande zu bringen. In dem Sinne, fröhliches Schreiben meine lieben Wortakrobaten.

"The world is so empty if one thinks only of mountains, rivers and cities; but to know someone here and there who thinks and feels with us, and though distant, is close to us in spirit — this makes the earth for us an inhabited garden."

-Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (German poet and playwright, 1749-1832)

[thatswhywelovegermany]

Es ist ein einförmiges Ding um das Menschengeschlecht. Die meisten verarbeiten den größten Teil der Zeit, um zu leben, und das bißchen, das ihnen von Freiheit übrig bleibt, ängstigt sie so, daß sie alle Mittel aufsuchen, um es loszuwerden.

It is always the same with the human race. Most work most of the time to live, and what little freedom they have left so frightens them that they seek any means of getting rid of it.
