Ein musikalischer Präzedenzfall. Par MATTER MICHAEL. Heutzutage würde man wohl von einem „Hype' sprechen: Als der unbekannte dänische Komponist Niels W. Gade Anfang der 1840er-Jahre seine ersten symphonischen Werke in Leipzig präsentiert, brandet ihm unverhofft Enthusiasmus entgegen. Maßgeblichen Anteil daran hat die spezifische Wahrnehmung seiner Musik, der Robert Schumann einen „entschieden nordischen Charakter' attestiert. Doch welche musikalischen, ästhetischen und historischen Prämissen liegen dem Phänomen des sogenannten „nordischen Tons' zugrunde? Michael Matter analysiert eingehend die Frühwerke und deren Rezeption und stellt sie in den Kontext übergeordneter „Nördlichkeits'-Vorstellungen. Dabei bietet die Rekonstruktion der Denk- und Wahrnehmungsmechanismen eine Erklärungsgrundlage sowohl für den unvergleichlichen Erfolg Gades als auch für das allmähliche Vergessen des Komponisten./ Livre / Livre

Par GADE NIELS WILHELM. Niels Gade (1817-1890), who was born in Copenhagen and spent most of his life there, went to Leipzig in 1843 for further training on a royal scholarship. There he became friends with Robert Schumann and found an eager patron in Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy. He is regarded as the most important figure of the Danish musical scene in the 19th century. His charming cycle 'Der Kinder Christabend' was published in 1859 with titles and texts in Danish. Although the first German edition was published in Leipzig in 1860, the English edition was not published in London until 1880. With his five mood pictures 'Weihnachts-Glocken' - 'Weihnachtsbaum-Einzugs-Marsch' - 'Ringeltanz der Knaben' - 'Tanz der kleinen Mädchen' - 'Gute Nacht', Gade portrays the typical atmosphere of a middle-class Christmas evening in the 19th century./ Répertoire / Piano
