 Introduction to Nutcracker and The Mouse King
It came from Herr E.T.A. Hoffmann himself, who out of love for that most lovable and best of all artists, Mozart, changed one of his middle names to Amadeus.
E.T.A. Hoffmann's The Nutcracker and the Mouse King has finally been brought fully and faithfully to life in English.
My first step was to return to the source: E.T.A. Hoffmann who, in 1816, wrote the amazing long short story called The Nutcracker and the Mouse King.

 Opera Madness Part I
Offenbach's Contes/Tales of Hoffmann was the first opera I remember seeing and thinking, "This actually is pretty good." I've seen four different productions of it and the best of them are weird and dark--like the ETA Hoffmann stories it's based on (ETA Hoffman also wrote the story of The Nutcracker).
I'm sure it must be disheartening to the cast when a dog can get an ovation for just walking across the stage and panting a few times.
DMMO's was not very weird; it was actually staged in a fairly realistic way which put me off a bit.

Hoffmann's portrayal of the character Kreisler (a genius musician) is wittily counterpointed with the character of the tomcat Murr—a virtuoso illustration of artistic pretentiousness that many of Hoffmann's contemporaries found offensive and subvertive of Romantic ideals.
Hoffmann is one of the best-known representatives of German Romanticism, and a pioneer of the fantasy genre, with a taste for the macabre combined with realism that influenced such authors as Franz Kafka, Edgar Allan Poe, Charles Dickens, and Nikolai Gogol.

Well, I just finished preparing notes for today's Aesthetics & Criticism class (my first actual appearance of the semester, since labyrinthitis had me in its clutches for the first two sessions), and since today's reading was ETA Hoffmann, I'm buzzing with German Romanticism.
At least on a blustery day like today with the wind whipping the trees outside as I read Hoffmann's Kreisleriana with Nordic music playing on the stereo...
Okay, okay, I've never been that much of a fan of the whole overblown German Romanticism Thang (especially as it [a] tied historically into aggressive nation-building, etc., and [b] still plays out in American music conservatories nowadays), but I have to admit that it can be kind of fun anyway.

After briefly moving to Heidelberg, Schumann returned to Leipzig and prepared to devote his talents, which he considered equal as a poet and musician, to music, publishing his Opus 1, the Abegg Variations soon after.
In 1834 he became owner and editor of the journal Neue Zeitschrift für Musik.
