  Schott Music - Shop - Pfitzner, Hans
From 1886 to 1890, Hans Pfitzner studied at the Dr. Hoch’s Conservatory in Frankfurt with James Kwast (piano) and Iwan Knorr (composition).
In the same year, Pfitzner received an appointment as director of the municipal orchestra and of the conservatory in Strasbourg.
At the end of the war, Pfitzner had to return to Germany and, in 1920, taught a master class in composition at the Preußische Akademie der Künste (Prussion Academy of the Arts) in Berlin.

 Classical Net Review - Pfitzner - Complete Lieder
Pfitzner is best known for his opera Palestrina, generally regarded as his magnum opus.
Pfitzner wrote about one hundred fifteen songs, the earliest ones perhaps somewhat derivative but still effective, while many of the later efforts are among the finest songs from the early-20
Pfitzner's earliest efforts here cannot be dismissed, even if they are not quite on the inspired level of the later songs.

Hans Pfitzner was born in Moscow in 1869, the son of violinist from Saxony, Robert Pfitzner, who was later to return to Germany as music director of the Stadttheater in Frankfurt.
After the war, Pfitzner, his position in German music firmly established, held composition master classes at the Prussian Academy in Berlin and in 1925 was appointed a life member of the Munich Academy of Music, an honour terminated by the National Socialist government in 1934.
Pfitzner's essential espousal of a specifically German musical tradition, conservative and looking back to an age that had passed, and his approval of more notorious aspects of Wagner's polemical writing, has not helped his general reputation abroad.

 Pfitzner, Hans (1869 - 1949)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
The German composer and conductor Hans Pfitzner was an important figure in his own generation, a friend of the writer Thomas Mann and conductor Bruno Walter, and a romantic in the tradition of Schumann and Brahms.
The best known of Pfitzner's stage works is his much admired opera Palestrina, treating the story of the 16th century composer Palestrina's alleged rescue of polyphony, when its use in Catholic church music was threatened by some of the reforming bishops at the Council of Trent.
Pfitzner's literary interests are reflected in his choral fantasy Das dunkle Reich (The Dark Kingdom), using texts by Michelangelo, Goethe and others, and in the cantata Von deutscher Seele, with its text by Eichendorff, a poet whom he greatly admired and whose poems he set in a number of songs.

Pfitzner's defiance of ReichsMarshal Göring drew threats of consignment to Oranienburg concentration camp and festering disillusion in Pfitzner himself.

 Hans Pfitzner's Palestrina and the Impotence of Early Lateness   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Pfitzner writes that musical inspiration is given concrete form as Einfall, a word which may be translated as 'idea,' or even, in context, 'musical theme.' Einfall, however, simply is: it is an irreducible essence that can be described (as beautiful, ugly, original, derivative, appropriate for sonata form, etc.) but not analysed (GS, 2:155–56).
Pfitzner's metaphorical Doppelgänger Palestrina is depicted as a withdrawn and unpolitical, i.e.
Pfitzner's writings are full of Spenglerian images of decline – such as his metaphor of the sun for tonality: it rose over the centuries, but now seems to be setting – he wonders if we might still enjoy some of its light for a little while longer (GS 2:235).

Pfitzner studied music at Hoch's Conservatory in Frankfurt/ Main.
His music, conservative in idiom (Pfitzner wrote articles attacking modernism in music), was popular in Germany in the early part of the 20th cent.
In 1948, Pfitzner was tried for having been actively pro-Nazi, but was acquitted of the charge.

I do maintain that Pfitzner was a blind follower of Hitler, a notorious anti-semit who, however, was a friend of sorts of the conductor Bruno Schlesinger aka Bruno Walter who conducted the first performance of "Palestrina" in 1917 (Munich) - at least until the dawn of the IIIrd Reich.
Pfitzner was visited by Hitler at the hospital in 1923.
In addition to being associated with Hitler, Pfitzner applied to be court composer of the Nazi party, but was denied for the position.

 Hans Pfitzner - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Born in Moscow, Pfitzner spent most of his life in Germany, working as conductor, pianist, and teacher as well as composer.
Particularly notable are Pfitzner's numerous and delicate Lieder, influenced by Hugo Wolf, yet with their own rather melancholy charm.
Increasingly nationalistic in his middle and old age, Pfitzner was at first regarded sympathetically by important figures in the Third Reich (in particular by Hans Frank, with whom he remained on good terms).

 Classical Net Review - Pfitzner - Palestrina
Hans Pfitzner (1869-1949) was a German composer, not prolific though he wrote in all genres, whose work, with one exception, has pretty much disappeared from view.
His music is late Romantic in style and fundamentally derived from Wagner, but he had an individual voice, using more diatonicism and dissonant textures, often ascetic and mystical in feeling.
It is an opera of ideas rather than action; its fundamental subject is (to quote New Grove) "the ideal realization of the artist's freedom both in self-determination and in responsibility to humanity".

 Beethoven/Pfitzner Wagner/Muck
They were born just five years apart (Strauss in 1864), died the same year in Bavaria, and conducted as well as composed—not that Pfitzner was in his colleague's class creatively, although both were Wagnerian offspring.
Whereas Strauss led the Staatsoper (unter den Linden) Orchestra when he conducted in Berlin, Pfitzner appeared with the Philharmoniker, Wilhelm Furtw”ngler's orchestra after 1922, which he was able to make to play in his style.
As demonstrated here, the second themes in sonata-form were his cue to slow down no matter what the score instructed; and while tempo-blocs fluctuated, Pfitzner could sustain momentum once he got inside a section.

 Opera Today : PFITZNER: Das Christelflein
If one should believe British critics, especially English ones, Jonathan Lemalu is a major new bass; one of the greatest talents around whose qualities are widely proven by the fact this is already his third solo CD in a short time.
To a libretto by Ilse von Stach, Pfitzner composed music that emphasizes physical beauty, like that of a winter forest landscape, glittering in silver and green.
This subtle score, however, accompanies an odd libretto that mixes fantastical elements — a wise old Fir Tree and the elf of the title — with more adult elements, such as an “atheistic” family member who must be converted by a sort of Christmas miracle (the return to health of a sickly child).

Hans Pfitzner's Beethoven Symphony recordings, to put it charitably, are not among the 78 era's great milestones.
Pfitzner's heavy-handed phrasing and rhythmic instability in the outer movements markedly contrast to Franz Schalk's or Felix Weingartner's incisive leadership.
More significantly, Pfitzner pays little mind to the stinging accents and restless dynamic shifts that characterize Beethoven's confrontational style.

Like Hansel und Gretel, the result was then upgraded into an opera (with libretto by Pfitzner after von Stach and spoken dialogue between the numbers), premiered at Dresden in 1917 just half a year after Palestrina.
This is not to suggest a lack of originality on Pfitzner's part, rather to provide a clue to a sound-world which draws naturally on the orchestral and motivic vocabulary that composers of the last quarter of the nineteenth century used to evoke angels, elves and forests.
Eichhorn has done Pfitzner proud in every respect bar one - that of faintheartedly permitting a narrator (poor performance, poor script) to intervene wherever Pfitzner's dialogues occurred.

This stems partly from his difficult personality, and partly from the nationalistic context in which are set his cultural beliefs.
This is the first study in English of Pfitzner's output.
It offers a revaluation of his music, partly in order to reveal the innate value of his stage works, chamber music, and songs, and also to illustrate the historical importance of his ideas, which reflect a German conservative tradition which was taken over and nearly destroyed by the Third Reich.

 The Songs of Hans Pfitzner — www.greenwood.com
As the author, Richard E. Mercier, remarks in his introduction, the songs of Pfitzner are still less frequently performed than those by his contemporaries like Hugo Wolf, Mahler and Richard Strauss.
There is clear musicological analysis as well as practical help with the expression of text and music.
Although not as famous as his contemporaries Hugo Wolf, Gustav Mahler, and Richard Strauss, Pfitzner created a number of fine songs and here receives the critical attention he deserves.
