Hanslick With Feeling

Hanslick with an abstract sense In most modern art philosophy, Eduardo Hanslick's Vom Musikalisch-Schönen is considered irreversible formalism and denies the aesthetic association in aesthetic and musical arguments doing. In order to challenge this position, I think that Hanslick's view is consistent with the expressive power of music, evaluating the music in an aesthetic way with related figurative terms revealing "looks and beauty" Indicates what can be discussed. what is that? "

In 1854 Eduard Hanslick thought about the nature of Vom Musikalisch-Schönen. In his book, he insists on music and "emotion" and is against the exaggerated philosophical and cultural claims of Wagner and the list. Hanslick's persuasive argument quickly attracted his attention. "This indirectly covers Hanslick's Richard Wagner and the opponent as a new German school.Hansrick said their programs that programmed instruments and symphonies" Music drama "represent the future of music I refuse the claim. Road (Gray, 2010, online). In other words, he is a typical classical "formalist".

For a while German music life was divided into two factions, supporters of Wagner and supporters of Johannes Brahms; the latter is influenced by a powerful critic Eduard Hanslick (where Becksmesser was in the cartoon of Meistersinger) Supported Traditional form for Wagnerian 's innovation and the support of major conservatives. They were supported by the conservative trend of the German music school, including the Conservatory under the Ignazzyel in Leipzig and the Cologne Conservatory under the guidance of Ferdinand Heller. I do not like all the music of Berlioz and appreciate his wonderful understanding of the effect of some instruments ... but here he is imitated and ironic ... Wagner is not a musician, he is kind There is an illness. "

Eduard Hanslick is a prototype of this powerful and domineering critic known for his ruthless attack on the works of Wagner and Bruckner and faithful support for his Brahms' work. . But later generations have unjustly judged this guardian of knowledgeable classicism to be an aversion to extremists. Although it looks conservative, he felt the danger of decline of music is great. Hanslick was the first person who was appointed as an academic staff of the University of Vienna, an integral part of the academic circle, and a music chair at other universities. The professor at the University of Berlin is chaired by Heinrich Bellermann of the Hansrick era.
