  EDUARD VON BAUERNFELD - LoveToKnow Article on EDUARD VON BAUERNFELD   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-16)
As a writer of comedies and farces, Bauernfeld takes high rank among the German playwrights of the century; his plots are clever, the situations witty and natural and the diction elegant.
Later he turned his attention to so-called Salonstiicke (drawing-room pieces), notably Aus der Gesellschaft (1866); Moderne Jugend (1869), and Der Land frieden (1869), in which he portrays in fresh, bright and happy sallies the social conditions of the capital in which he lived.

Eduard von Bauernfeld (January 13, 1802 - August 9, 1890), Austrian dramatist, was born at Vienna.
Having studied jurisprudence at the university of Vienna, he entered the government service in a legal capacity, and after holding various minor offices was transferred in 1843 to a responsible post on the Lottery Commission.

Franz von Hartmann recorded of one of these Schubertiads, "There was a huge gathering [including] Gahy, who played four-hand piano music gloriously with Schubert, and [baritone Johann Michael] Vogl, who sang almost thirty splendid songs….
The sensitivity to artistic expression that drew such refined persons to the Schubertiads was also manifested in the poetic aspirations of some of the group's members: Schubert created some 200 songs to poems by his friends.
Viola ("Violet," D. 786, 1823) is the setting of a verse by Franz von Schober (1796-1882), Schubert's closest friend for many years and the person who convinced him to quit his teaching job and devote himself to composition.

A few weeks later Franz von Schober, a student of good family and some means, who had heard some of Schubert's songs at Spaun's house, came to pay a visit to the composer and proposed to carry him off from school-life and give him freedom to practice his art in peace.
It saw the second public performance of a work of Schubert's (the first one had been the performance of the Mass in F-major in September 1814 in Lichtental)-- an overture in the Italian style written as an avowed burlesque of Rossini, and played in all seriousness at a Jail concert on March 1.
Immediately before Schubert's death, his friend Eduard von Bauernfeld recorded the existence of an additional symphony, dated 1828 (although this does not necessarily indicate the year of composition) named the "Letzte" or "Last" symphony.

 The Chronicle: 2/9/2001: Looking Beyond the Sentimental Schubert
Most of the time he was not composing he spent in the company of male friends, particularly Schober, Mayrhofer, and Josef von Spaun, a civil servant, each of whom he lived with for extended periods.
The wildest claims to emerge in recent years were that Schubert was a pederast, an idea propagated by The New York Times's somewhat distorted reporting on less sensationalistic articles by the musicologist Maynard Solomon, and that Schubert smoked opium, a view espoused by McKay in her 1996 biography of the composer.
Those claims -- the former based on a diary entry of von Bauernfeld, the latter on a reference in a letter to a Turkish water pipe -- simply cannot be supported by the historical evidence.

It was Ernst von Feuchtersleben, a fellow student of Seligmann's, who introduced him to the young intellectuals and artists frequenting the "Silbernes Kaffeehaus" in the Plankengasse in Vienna, a group which included such subsequently famous personalities as Franz Grillparzer, Moritz von Schwind, Eduard von Bauernfeld and Nikolaus von Lenau, apart from Schubert.

Leopold von Sonnleithner reported that the informal performances came to an end when Pettenkoffer, a worker in the wholesale trade, won a lottery and moved from Vienna to his own country estate.
Present at the same party was Eduard von Bauernfeld, whose friendship with Schubert was not to blossom until three years later.
In 1857 Eduard von Bauernfeld wrote to the composer's biographer Ferdinand Luib that ‘Schubert had, so to speak, a double nature, the Viennese gaiety being interwoven and ennobled by a trait of deep melancholy.

 On His 200th Birthday -- Franz Schubert -- Striving for the Highest In Art
But the dimensions of his work also show how senseless, indeed how idiotic is all the modern babble about Schubert's alleged ``music of death.'' Contrary to the ``modern'' jangling of words by death-fixated sociologists of music and music critics, the most blooming life springs from every single tone of Schubert's work.
In the houses of von Spaun, Burchmann, of the poet Mathaeus von Collin, of the Fröhlich sisters, of the court counsellor and music teacher Kiesewetter, of the lawyer and court officer Dr. Ignaz von Sonnleithner, among others, there were regularly arranged Schubertfests, and which more than 100 guests would find themselves crowded.
Though Schubert greatly loved Handel, Hayden and Mozart, yet it was Ludwig von Beethoven whom he venerated as a guiding star and held in wonder, and to whom, in 1822, he dedicated his Opus 10 ``Variations on a French Song'' for Piano four-hands.

Von Schober was away from Vienna; new friends appeared of a less desirable character; on the whole these were the darkest years of his life.
In the spring of 1824 he wrote the magnificent Octet in F (D.803), "A Sketch for a Grand Symphony"; and in the summer went back to Zelesz, when he became attracted by Hungarian idiom, and wrote the Divertissement a l'Hongroise (D.818) and the String Quartet in A minor (D.804).

Obviously, Schubert had a very precise and consistent concept of this artistic duty in his time and in his society, and anyone who seeks to characterize him as a dreamer who has turned away from the world and as a fanciful sentimentalist misjudges him.
To give just one example, Eduard von Bauernfeld was later one of the leading inspirations for the "Young Austria" movement before the March 1848 Revolution, which helped significantly to prepare for that revolution.
For example, his libretto for the opera Der Graf von Gleichen [The Earl of Equals] was banned for allegedly glorifying bigamy, but he continued to compose for it nevertheless.

Short, chubby and bespectacled, Schubert may have lacked glamour, but his musical talents were much respected and his warm friendly nature made him loved by all who knew him.
The playwright Eduard von Bauernfeld, a close friend, remembered him as “the most honest soul and the most faithful friend”.
In his short lifetime Schubert produced masterworks in many genres and established himself as one of the greatest song writers in musical history.

 Schubert: Opera Arias
Of all the great composers, Schubert left by far the largest number of uncompleted works: symphonies, piano and chamber music, songs, choral music - and operas.
Three of the latter are represented on this disc - the early 'Adrast' and 'Die Burgschaft', written around the age of twenty, and 'Der Graf von Gleichen' from the penultimate year of his short life.
Schubert made many attempts to achieve success on the Viennese operatic stage but was singularly unlucky in doing so.

At the end of August, Schubert felt unwell, complaining of dizziness and loss of appetite, and his physician advised that he move for a time to a new house outside the city recently acquired by the composer's brother Ferdinand.
Though Ferdinand's dwelling was damp and uncomfortable and hardly conducive to his recovery, Franz felt better during the following days, and was able to participate in an active social life and attend the premiere of a comedy by his friend Eduard von Bauernfeld on September 5th.
Schubert also continued to compose incessantly, completing the three piano sonatas on August 26th, and performing them at the house of Dr. Ignaz Menz the following day.
