This excerpt from The Life of Percy Bysshe Shelley by Thomas Medwin is KILLING me.

Medwin was Shelley's cousin; he knew Shelley and Byron and their circle, and later fabricated much of what he wrote about them, to the hatred of Mrs. Shelley. However, considering Shelley's frequent complaints even in letters of his complex jealousy toward Byron (and subsequent guilt for it), and considering Shelley's dramatic use of language, I can completely imagine him going on heated rants about "the Byronic Energy." That's so him. This is the same dude who wrote a poem for Byron starting with the lines "If I esteemed you less, Envy would kill / Pleasure" and ending with the lines "the worm beneath the sod / May lift itself in worship to the God" like ummm! . . . bro was enchanted . . . the Byronic Energy really did take his powers . . .

John Surman — Words Unspoken (ECM)

To progress from being an adequate or good soloist toward the coveted realms of greatness involves increasing narrative subtlety. Telling a story is fine, but moving from phrase to phrase carrying forward those minute details in which worlds are distilled is quite another program. Then, there are the felicities of ensemble playing. While by no means mutually exclusive, a great soloist is often not a great ensemble player and vice versa. John Surman does both, wonderfully and in a unique voice; Words Unspoken, his new quartet album, is the proof that makes the pudding well worth sampling.

Surman’s bassless quartet includes guitarist Rob Luft, vibraphonist Rob Waring and drummer Thomas Stronen. Even on the most up-tempo tunes, the rhythm section provides that gorgeously airy sound for which ECM has become lauded and stereotyped. In this context, given the fact that each player transcends instrumental preconceptions through a continually morphing ensemble approach against which Surman is free to emote. It can be difficult to judge whether guitar or vibes, or both, buttress and swirl around Surman’s mellifluous baritone on the title track. Try the windy swells and crystalline curves at 2:05 to experience the full-blown ambiguity. By way of complete and utterly joyful contrast, sample “Onich Ceilidh,” where, at 4:49, Surman swaps out his soprano saxophone and provides a bassline via continuously shifting bass clarinet articulations as Waring and Luft skip along in rippling counterpoint with Stronen expressing foundational alacrity. Surman’s compositional lines support this integrated approach; “Belay That” slides along in sinewy seconds and more forceful open intervals, saxophone and guitar shimmering against each other in timbral accord as Stronen shows himself to be a wonderfully facile time drummer, his touch as light as it is precise.

Indeed, like time and temporal suspension, even constructing these solo and group boundaries borders on falsehood. As with the 1970-75 Miles Davis aggregates, this quartet’s concept of soloing is amoebic, the boundaries of accompaniment blurred at so many strategic points. If Waring’s repetitive riffs opening “Pebble Dance” do not constitute a solo, then neither does Stronen’s timbrally rich rhythmic “melodies” anticipating Luff’s simpatico stealth groove at 1:01. Even that vamp is both rhythmic and melodic, open harmonies in play as they so often are throughout this collection of Surman compositions.

Then, there is Surman’s soloing, a perfect foil to the accented rhythms, modal areas and scalar melodicism of his compositions. Dig the way he slides so gently but with such purpose up to the two notes at 2:34 of “Flower in Aspic” or builds tiered crescendos on the same pitch 3:52 into “Bitter Aloe,” his clarinet a fountain of pitched nuance and color. Maybe best of all is the glissando 2:19 into “Pebble Dance.” Surman’s soprano slides gracefully, effortlessly, up to a note that falls just between the cracks, a blue note transmogrified, a pitch existing within and just beyond itself, inhabiting two cognitive spaces simultaneously, like his music does. As always, Surman is at home in any genre or style he chooses. Every track is a landscape in flux, and every album a series of them. For nearly six decades, Surman’s restless explorations have bolstered and defied genre categorization, but beauty persists. Beauty of tone, of timbre, of compositional conception and ensemble deployment, often an inward and reflective beauty, have been mainstays of Surman’ daunting and, happily, still growing and consistently superb discography. Much of it lives in the ECM catalog and may its entries multiply!

Lord Byron and Napoleon

Someone responded to my Lord Byron post saying they were surprised Lord Byron liked Napoleon. Let’s just say this, Lord Byron was obsessed with Napoleon. He was his “alter ego.” He loved him.

Like most of the Romantics, Napoleon was his muse. He was not a propagandist. He was able to write about Napoleon in a nuanced way and explore different aspects. For example, his “Ode Napoleon Buonaparte” is a sharp criticism which expresses his utter disappointment in Napoleon for abdicating. He hated Napoleon for his defeat, but he loved him for his cause.

Lord Byron had a bust of Napoleon since he was a young boy. He modelled his carriage on Napoleon’s carriage. He had engravings of Napoleon in his room and collected mementos of Napoleon long after his death in 1821. He referred to Napoleon as his “little pagod.” People around him said that the vicissitudes of Napoleon’s life affected his personality. He mattered to him a lot. This is what he said in a letter to his friend after Napoleon’s defeat: “I detest the cause and the victors – and the victory.” (Quote source)

He was hard on Napoleon because he believed in him, but he was devotedly loyal. Notice that he died in exile, just like Napoleon. Thomas Medwin explains that Lord Byron admired Napoleon so much that he came to envy him. Like Beethoven, his admiration turned into a desire to replicate. Beethoven once said he wanted “to conquer” the conqueror.

If anyone is interested in learning more about Lord Byron and Napoleon, I’ve provided some links. Any good book about Lord Byron should mention it. But most biographies about Napoleon will not mention it because it was a parasocial relationship for Lord Byron.

“And when [Thomas] Medwin finally left, on the twenty-eighth of August, Crawford found himself unable to talk to Byron at all. The lord spent all his time locked in his room reading, or lounging with Teresa Guiccioli in the main garden, and when Crawford had one day presumed to interrupt the two lovers, Byron had angrily told him that any further intrusions would result in his abandoning their plans altogether.”

Of course you know — Byron was such a crack shot, he could hit a rose at 25 paces. Pushkin, at least during the years [1824-6] when he lived here, in the country, was decidedly obsessed with Byron; he studied him most diligently and even tried to adopt many of Byron’s habits. Pushkin, for instance, would say he awfully lamented not being gifted with the physical strength to pull off such feats as the English poet, who had, as is well-known, swum the Hellespont… And to match the precision of Byron’s aim, Pushkin joined me in planting bullets in a marker.      Incidentally, it also bears mentioning that Pushkin was at that time preparing to duel the infamous so-called Tolstoy the American… Somewhere in Moscow, Pushkin had met Tolstoy at a card table. They played. Tolstoy cheated. Pushkin pointed that out to him. “Yes, I know,” Tolstoy replied, “but I don’t like it when people point that out to me.” Consequently, Pushkin was determined to face Tolstoy in a duel, and so, in preparation for that duel, he joined me in target practice.

—A. N. Wulf, “Stories about Pushkin, recorded by M. I. Semevsky” [1866] [my translation]

***

Lord Byron is an admirable horseman, combining grace with the security of his seat. He prides himself much on this exercise. He conducted us for some miles till we came to a farm-house, where he practises pistol-firing every evening. This is his favourite amusement, and may indeed be called almost a pursuit. He always has pistols in his holster, and eight or ten pair by the first makers in London carried by his courier. We had each twelve rounds of ammunition, and in a diameter of four inches he put eleven out of twelve shots. I observed his hand shook exceedingly. He said that when he first began at Manton’s he was the worst shot in the world, and Manton was perhaps the best. The subject turned upon duelling, and he contended for its necessity, and quoted some strong arguments in favour of it.      “I have been concerned,” said he, “in many duels as second, but only in two as principal; one was with Hobhouse before I became intimate with him. The best marksmen at a target are not the surest in the field. […] Shelley is a much better shot than I am, but he is thinking of metaphysics rather than of firing.”

—Thomas Medwin, “Journal of the conversations of Lord Byron: Noted during a residence with His Lordship at Pisa, in the years 1821 and 1822” [1824]

Girolamo Nerli - Maori children bathing in Hot Pools, Rotorua - 1897

Girolamo Pieri Pecci Ballati Nerli, known more commonly as Girolamo Nerli (21 February 1860 – 24 June 1926) was an Italian painter who worked and travelled in Australia and New Zealand in the late 19th century influencing Charles Conder and Frances Hodgkins and helping to move Australian and New Zealand art in new directions. His portrait of Robert Louis Stevenson in the Scottish National Portrait Gallery Edinburgh, is usually considered the most searching portrayal of the writer.

Born in Siena in Italy to an Italian aristocrat, Marchese Ferdinando Pieri Pecci Ballati Nerli, his full name was Girolamo Pieri Pecci Ballati Nerli. The fourth of six children he was not a 'Marchese' as he was sometimes styled, or a 'Count', but a 'patrizio di Siena', a minor distinction marking the great antiquity of his family. His father married Henrietta Medwin, an Englishwoman. Her father Thomas Medwin was a minor literary figure in Byron's circle, the author of Journal of the Conversations of Lord Byron and of The Life of Percy Bysshe Shelley; Medwin was a second cousin on both parents' side of Shelley. Girolamo studied art in Florence under Antonio Ciseri and Giovanni Muzzioli and was a younger member of the Italian Macchiaioli school, the 'patch painters', an Italian movement anticipating French Impressionism.

He went to Australia in 1885 spending time in Melbourne and Sydney where he was an associate of Tom Roberts and Arthur Streeton and an influence on Charles Conder at the time of the Heidelberg School. Nerli's role in that movement has been disputed but his presence and influence are undeniable.

He went first to Melbourne but by 1887 was in Sydney where he encountered Conder. He caused a sensation there late that year with his exhibition of paintings of bacchanalian orgies, and in 1888 his portrait of Myra Kemble the actress attracted much attention at the exhibition of the Royal Art Society at Sydney. The free brushwork and unfinished appearance of the works were as exciting to connoisseurs as the subjects were to the general public. In 1889 he was back in Melbourne, apparently in the company of the Heidelberg painters. Late in 1889 he went to Dunedin in New Zealand for the New Zealand and South Seas Exhibition where he encountered the artist Alfred Henry O'Keeffe. He went back to Australia in 1890.

In August 1892 he visited Samoa and painted the well-known portrait of R. L. Stevenson, now in the Scottish National Portrait Gallery. A portrait in pastel done during the same visit was bought by Scribner and Sons, New York, in 1923. Stevenson wrote some humorous doggerel verse recording their encounter.

In 1893 Nerli returned to Dunedin where he set himself up as a private art teacher. 'Signor Nerli' remained in the city just over three years bringing new vigour to the circle presided over by W.M. Hodgkins and a cosmopolitan glamour to Dunedin's second, bohemian circle of younger painters. He taught Frances Hodgkins, inspired O'Keeffe and reportedly had an affair with Grace Joel, a young woman artist he may also have known in Melbourne. In 1893 Nerli was elected to the council of the Otago Art Society and in 1894 set up the Otago Art Academy with J.D. Perrett and L.W. Wilson in Dunedin's Octagon. Its life classes employing a professional nude model were so successful that the government run Dunedin School of Art had to hire Nerli for the same purpose. It seems this was the means by which painting from the nude was inaugurated at the school.

Late in 1896 Nerli left Dunedin suddenly, stayed briefly in Wellington and went on to Auckland. He opened a studio there and exhibited at the Auckland Society of Arts in April 1897. He then eloped with Marie Cecilia Josephine Barron whom he married in Christchurch New Zealand, in March 1898. She was a Spinster of 23, and he said he was a Bachelor and Artist of 38; he gave his name as Girolamo Pieri Ballati Pecci Nerli, but the surname in the index was "Pecci". The couple immediately sailed for Australia settling first in Sydney and then Melbourne. Nerli and his wife returned to Europe in 1904 where the artist spent the rest of his life, struggling against declining fortunes, between London and Nervi, Genova (Genoa) in Italy. He died childless in Nervi on 24 June 1926.

Part 3 of PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE ROMANTICS, A TUMBLR HISTORY EXHIBIT: photos i've collected of people related to the english writers of the romantic period and/or who were part of the byron-shelley circle.

Edward John Trelawny (above: a photo of him as an elder compared to a portrait of him as a young man). A key member of the circle, celebrity/adventurer/writer, friend and biographer of Byron and Shelley. Outlived everyone. Proposed to both Mary Shelley and Claire Clairmont and remained in touch with them their whole lives. Really interesting person but also a chronic liar, making it difficult to tell which parts of his life stories are fact or fiction. He is buried next to Shelley (who is buried next to Keats); Trelawny bought the cemetery plot when Shelley died decades prior and later offered it to Mary Shelley who declined it. The last two portraits below were done by Joseph Severn, the artist who was friends with Keats, did most of his portraits, & took care of him as he was dying in Rome. I don't think Trelawny ever met Keats.

Jane Williams Hogg (née Cleveland). She was married to an abusive man named John Edward Johnson who she left for Edward Ellecker Williams, who was the father of her first two children and a friend of Percy Bysshe Shelley's cousin Thomas Medwin. The family then lived in the same household with the Shelley family (Mary, Percy, and their children) in Italy. Percy dedicated some of his last poems to Jane. After Percy and Edward died together in a boating accident she lived with Mary before partnering with Shelley's best friend from college Thomas Jefferson Hogg who she had two children with.

I think the similarity between her younger portrait (1822, age 24) & her photograph (date unknown, but she died in 1884 & seems like she could be in her 80s in the photo) are very striking; you can clearly see the nose, eyes, hair, and mouth are exactly the same, only older.

She also knew George Eliot and William Michael Rossetti; I mentioned the Rossettis in my last post. I wonder if she ever discussed Shelley's connection to John Polidori with them; I don't believe she ever met John Polidori, but maybe the Shelleys would have mentioned him to her.

Thomas Medwin, another key player of the Shelley-Byron circle in Italy. Cousin of Percy Bysshe Shelley and friend/biographer of Shelley and Byron.

Wilhelm Charles Gaulis Clairmont, the nephew of Clara Mary Jane Clairmont aka Claire Clairmont. Wilhelm was the son of her half-brother Charles Gaulis Clairmont.

Morton Feldman — Piano, Violin, Viola, Cello (Another Timbre)

Another Timbre has been contributing excellent recordings to the rapidly expanding universe of what might still be called “Classical” music, and nowhere more convincingly than in the shimmering beautiful tapestries woven by Morton Feldman. The label’s double set of Feldman’s earlier piano works would be an excellent place to begin for anyone wishing to slide into familiarity with his work, as it’s wonderfully performed by John Tilbury and Philip Thomas. Pianist Mark Knoop, violinist Aisha Orazbayeva, violist Bridget Carey and cellist Anton Lukoszevieze now put their collective wit and grace into a rendering of Piano, Violin, Viola, Cello; they give a performance of rapt concentration and emotive depth, rivaling and often surpassing any currently available.  

Piano, Violin, Viola, Cello, hereafter PVVC, was the composer’s final published work, but to say that it is typical of his late-period compositions is to sell its individuality short. Much is made of Feldman’s penchant for repetition, and his music is sometimes dismissed for it, but for those immersed in Feldman’s vast canvases, each is a labyrinth of non-linear landmarks slowly revealed, connected non-teleologies that still result in a narrative. Tone, chord and the points at which they meet circumvent while intersecting, the material developing in a kind of slow dance of gradual familiarity and reminiscence. The soft dynamic level makes it all a very intimate experience. True, allegiance to influences as disparate as Debussy and Webern are everywhere, but they are also magically and continuously thwarted, so that they must be sought out to be heard at all. Pointillism is there, something approaching traditional harmonic cadence is also present, but no standard resolution or drama on either front is forthcoming.  

There is a palpable sense in which Knoop and company get PVVC absolutely right. The closest version to this one comes from the Bridge label, released in 2015, but the new disc presents a more unified string sound, even though single notes regularly traverse the sound stage. It is as if string clusters produce tones not in the score, such is the intimacy and concentration achieved by these three musicians. Those clusters often take center stage, while Knoop’s piano is recorded wide-screen, in such a way as to embrace the strings. His sensitive rendering of the score is caught in a way that is simultaneously close but recessed, giving the whole a three-dimensional presence that reveals Feldman’s blocks of quasi-development in Technicolor.  

Maybe it’s the recording that separates this version from the others I’ve heard. It certainly has the unity of a performance, though its spatial characteristics seem to exist outside of any single performance environment. The room disappears, and the music is left to unfold, offering a very different picture when switching from headphones to speakers. This, in combination with excellent musicianship, makes this version of PVVC a model for Feldman study and for future recorded performances of his works.

ANTES Y DURANTE DIODATI: Percy Shelley

Proveniente de una cuna aristocrática inglesa, Percy Bysshe Shelley nació en Agosto 4 de 1792. Durante su niñez pasó largo tiempo cazando y pescando por diversión junto a su primo, amigo de toda su vida: Thomas Medwin, quien publicaría un libro sobre Percy relatando de primera mano su infancia y los eventos que le siguieron y que le fueron confiados. La primera educación que Percy recibió fue con un tutor en casa, siendo cercano así a sus cuatro hermanas menores y un hermano con el que tenía una diferencia de edad considerable; dichas circunstancias lo hicieron objeto de cariño y admiración, pero se encontró con un ambiente completamente distinto cuando comenzó su asistencia en Eton College a los doce años. Shelley se negaba a participar en actividades típicas de niños de su edad y cargaba siempre con un libro bajo el brazo, esa extraña actitud y su aspecto sensible fue suficiente para que sus compañeros lo molestaran constantemente, sin embargo -tan pasional como siempre- el chico se negaba a ser insultado, explotando la mayoría de las veces en airados gritos de ofensa y defensa, se ganó el apodo “Mad Shelley”. Seis años después se matriculó en el University College de Oxford, donde sus tendencias liberales, antipatrióticas y ateístas le costaron su expulsión al siguiente año, tras escribir un folleto con el título “The necessity of Ateism” junto a su amigo y biógrafo: Thomas Jefferson Hogg; la familia de Shelley intervino para que la expulsión no se llevara a cabo, la única condición era que Percy negara su autoría, acción a la que, por supuesto, se negó rotundamente. Una vez fuera de cualquier tipo de institución, se dedicó  vivir la vida que quería, dejándose llevar por arrebatos sentimentales y poderosos deseos.

A los diecinueve años, cuatro meses después de haber sido expulsado, se casó con Harriet Westbrook. Su amor y su matrimonio estuvo lleno de infelices momentos que, sin embargo, no los separaban del todo pues Percy solía acudir, conmovido, al llamado de Harriet cada que ella le mandaba desesperadas y tristes cartas prometiendo que se suicidaría. Tenía ya un hijo con ella cuando, en 1814, frecuentando la librería del filósofo William Godwin, al que admiraba por sus ideales de libertad, conoció a la hija de tan admirable figura: Mary, y poco importó que Harriet acabara de dar a luz al segundo hijo, pues Percy ya había decidido fugarse con aquella chica de dieciséis años y su hermanastra de la misma edad: Claire. Cruzaron Francia y se establecieron en Suiza durante un tiempo, pero el dinero -que solía imponerles límites- terminó por obligarlos a regresar a Inglaterra, donde ninguno de los tres era ya bienvenido a la casa del padre de Mary, a pesar de ser ésta la querida hija de su primer matrimonio y de que Shelley hubiera sido un especie de alumno e hijo para él.

Pasó todo un año para que los tres volvieran a Suiza -con un cuarto integrante: el hijo de Percy y Mary, Wiliam- y esa vez, las dichosas circunstancias, terminaron por juntar a dos de los poetas más importantes del romanticismo. Los paseos diarios navegando sobre el río fueron una de las actividades que más disfrutaban Percy y Byron cuando estaban juntos, de manera que el 23 de junio de 1816, decidieron irse en una excursión de ocho días, ellos solos, para deleitarse con la compañía que encontraron uno en el otro. Shelley, en su ensayo On Love, escrito el año anterior al mencionado viaje, había escrito: “I have found my language misunderstood, like one in a distant and savage land”, y precisamente, cuando navegando con Byron, fue testigo de la belleza que el Lago de Ginebra le había preparado, abrigó la esperanza de que no estaba solo, pues la presencia del Lord, tan absorto en la naturaleza como él mismo, logró extasiarlo, llenarlo de una especie de encantamiento: había encontrado a alguien que hablaba su mismo idioma.

Ese viaje fue la principal razón por la que se vio capaz de escribir Hymn to intelectual beauty, un proyecto que ya había pensado durante toda su vida, pero al que le hacía falta un viaje, un amigo y un lago en Ginebra. Una vez terminado su himno lo mandó, un año después, a su editor para publicarlo y en la firma se leía: “Elfin knight”, como solía llamarlo Mary, en respuesta a la pregunta del porqué no había colocado su nombre, Percy escribió: “Next, will I own the "Hymn to Intellectual Beauty? lf I do not care--as you like. And yet the poem was composed under the influence of feelings which agitated me even to tears, so that I think it deserves a better fate than the being linked with so stigmatized an unpopular a name (so far as it is known) as mine”.

El encantamiento que recibió Shelley en su viaje con Byron, se repitió una y otra vez, incluso cuando mantenían los pies en tierra firme, sentados junto al fuego, exhalando filosofía y sentimientos intensos. La noche del 17 de junio en Villa Diodati, contando historias de terror por las que Percy siempre había sentido especial curiosidad, pues creía que los fantasmas y los seres sobrenaturales eran lo único que podía explicar el misterio de la vida, Byron y él, con o sin saberlo, marcaron el comienzo de la creación de dos monstruos. Poco les importaba tener público en sus conversaciones, no prestaban especial atención a algo que no fueran sus delirios románticos, pero tal era la vehemencia de sus entrelazadas almas que esparcían por el viento la inspiración, inspiración que encontraría un hogar en la joven novia de Shelley: Mary, y en el doctor compañero de Byron: John. Para compartir a rienda suelta sus espíritus y creatividad Percy y Byron se tenían entre ellos, desde aquel encuentro en Ginebra, mientras estuvieran vivos –quizá incluso después de la muerte-, y para siempre.

Thomas Medwin’s accounts of his Conversations with Byron are a fascinating document, but I especially love how the archive where I’m reading them presents them in parallel with criticisms written in response to them by other contemporaries. There’s a lot of quibbling over details in the margins. Some outrage, even. (Medwin apparently ended up challenging two other writers to duels over this.) Different people are more immediately privy to different things, come away with different impressions, put different conscious and unconscious spin on the stories they tell.

Medwin apparently recorded these conversations in his notebook fairly immediately after they took place, and published them only a few years later — that’s not a huge amount of distance. But some of the stories related in the conversations go back further. How much discrepancy here is from Medwin misremembering what he was told, and how much is from Byron reconceptualizing and reframing his own story as he tells it at that point in his life? And how trustworthy are the criticisms? This is new territory for me, so I’ll probably have stronger opinions later.

What I will say, though, is that it makes me think of the same things I’ve been seeing for the past two-and-a-half years in my own research into Pushkin, sifting through the stories his contemporaries told in memoirs after his death. That memory is fallible, personal narratives are somewhat fluid, and despite the best of intentions, nobody is a completely reliable narrator.

I think any quoting of spoken dialogue in a memoir is to be taken with a grain of salt. It’s unlikely the words were remembered perfectly, or recorded exactly as spoken. Perhaps certain turns of phrase particularly stuck in the memoirist’s ear; other things may be reconstructed in the general spirit of what was said, at least as the memoirist remembers it. Dialogue makes for lively storytelling, but can give a false sense of immediacy.
