Erwin Ratz's book — first published in 1951 in Vienna — has been and even today is an important landmark in the evolution of European musicology, especially in the field of musical analysis.
Erwin Ratz was born in Graz Austria in 1898 and died in Vienna in 1973.
Ratz's intellectuality and profound thought are demonstrated in the first paragraph of the introduction to his book, where the author quotes Goethe: "everyone can see the matter; the content can be found only by those who have something to do with it and the form is a secret for most people" (p.

 Wikipedia: Fugue
Bach was sufficiently expert that he could tell exactly what entrances could occur simply by hearing the first playing of a theme.
Although fugues are often described in purely contrapuntal terms, tonally-centered fugues also manifest a fundamental harmonic structure (Ratz, 1951).
In the words of the Austrian musicologist Erwin Ratz (1951, p.

 Fugue - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
When scholars say that the fugue is not a musical form, what is usually meant is that there is no one single formal outline into which all fugues reliably can be fitted.
Ratz argues that the formal organization of a fugue involves not only the arrangement of its theme and episodes, but also its harmonic structure.
The most classicist fugues that have appeared after Beethoven are those of Felix Mendelssohn, who as a child impressed Goethe and others with his mastery of counterpoint while improvising at the piano.

 Mahlerfest - Symphony No.6 - Myth and Reality
In 1963, the Critical Edition of the Sixth came out from the IGMG, and lo and behold the Scherzo was back in its original second position, Erwin Ratz explaining that some time before his death Mahler had changed his mind.
Ratz provided no evidence for this statement; he didn't even cite Alma's telegram.
The IGMG supported Erwin Ratz's decision in the Critical Edition revision of 1998, but editor-in-chief Reinhold Kubik has since expressed doubts in the light of Bruck's evidence.

 MTO 4.6: Grave, Review of Caplin, Classical Form
ABSTRACT: Reviving the Formenlehre tradition as taught by Arnold Schoenberg and Erwin Ratz, Caplin attempts to accommodate the method to a specific but stylistically complex repertory: instrumental works of Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven within the approximate time-span 1780-1810.
Erwin Ratz, Einführung in die musikalische Formenlehre, 3rd ed.
Caplin defines "tight knit" as "formal organization characterized by the use of conventional theme-types, harmonic-tonal stability, a symmetrical grouping structure, form-functional efficiency, and a unity of melodic-motivic material" (p.

 TIME.com: Unfinished Symphony? -- Sep. 7, 1962 -- Page 1
Erwin Ratz, president of the International Gustav Mahler Society, demurs.
The trouble with Cooke, says Ratz, was that he misunderstood how Mahler worked.
The composer normally went from sketches to "raw scoring" to a final version, and, according to Ratz, he was at least two years away from a final version of the Tenth.

 Mahler's Unfinished Tenth
But here again Alma betrayed him, though with the apparent blessing of his contemporary colleagues Arnold Schoenberg, Alban Berg, and Ernst Krenek, allowing a facsimile of the unfinished manuscript to be published in 1924.
Despite the harsh criticism of Theodore Adorno, Bruno Walter, and Erwin Ratz, who vehemently opposed its completion by another hand, a wide range of working or "performing editions" of Mahler's final symphony were eventually produced for public consumption.
And consume the public has with even greater enthusiasm over the past thirty years, as a wide variety of performances and recordings attest.

Therefore the first edition (EA, Erstausgabe, 1906) could be followed in by a revised edition (NA, Neuausgabe, 1906) in the same year.
In the Critical Edition of the Collected Works (Kritische Gesamtausgabe der Internationalen Gustav Mahler Gesellschaft, Wien) a new critical score of the symphony was published (GA, Gesamtausgabe,1963, prepared by Erwin Ratz).
One source of very important information, Mahler’s own correction-copy for the NA,1906 (CorrMahler) was not yet available when Erwin Ratz prepared his edition in the nineteen-sixties.

 HK Gruber Biography
Berg, Stravinsky, cabaret and pop music are all influences, but whatever stylistic ingredients he uses in his works, he remains inimitably himself: one of the major talents of post-war music.
Born in Vienna in 1943, Gruber sang with the Vienna Boys Choir as a child and then studied at the Vienna Hochschule für Musik -- double bass with Ludwig Streicher, theory with Hanns Jelinek, and composition with Erwin Ratz and Gottfried von Einem.
In 1961 he began playing double bass with the ensemble die reihe (and is currently their Artistic Director) and from 1969 to 1998 he played in the Radio Symphony Orchestra-Vienna.

And his 1989 recording of the Sixth is the only major release to challenge the International Gustav Mahler Gesellschaft's 1963 Critical Edition on the order of the inner movements.
Mahler composed this work with the Scherzo second and the Andante third, but during rehearsals he decided the Andante should go second; that's how he conducted it in his lifetime, and that's how it was played until 1963, when editor Erwin Ratz "explained" that, before his death, Mahler had reverted to his original plan.
The problem is that there's not a shred of evidence for Ratz's "reversion": no score, no letter, no conversation, no anecdote.

During the sixties, William Parks Grant made a major contribution as a Mahler scholar to the Gesamtausgabe project as music editor for the Symphony no. 9.
Although Bruno Walter had conducted the premiere performance of the Mahler symphony in 1911, the score contained several hundred errors which were corrected by Grant in consultation with Charles Eble, Erwin Ratz and Joseph Tranauer.
His work as a Mahler scholar continued through the early seventies and extended to the second, third and eighth Mahler symphonies, some of which was funded by Leonard Berstein.

Eisler was trained by Schoenberg in the great classical tradition but during the turbulent years of the Weimar Republic repudiated "art for art's sake" and turned his attention towards music with a social conscience.
You would expect to see him only on the barricades, not in the recital hall, but Eisler was also a man of contradictions, and here he produces what Viennese musicologist Erwin Ratz described as the greatest cycle of German lieder in the 20th century.
Goerne is one of the rising stars of German classical song, and in this recording his velvety but intense style is showcased in the only complete recording of Eisler's "Hollywood Songbook."

 Mahler—Symphony No. 6
In 1963 a strange phenomenon occurred: the score of the critical edition of the International Mahler Society was published restoring the original order (though the parts remain to this day in Mahler's revised order).
Since that time most conductors have followed the original order (Scheao-Andante), assuming that Mahler must have changed his mind back, as the editor Erwin Ratz suggests, though there is no hard evidence to support this.
Naturally there has been a fierce controversy amongst scholars on this issue ever since.
