This book accompanies the Paul Sacher Foundation's exhibition at
the Bonn Beethovenhaus. In the twentieth and twenty-first
centuries, composers have referred to Beethoven in their music. The
volume explores this subject and illustrates it with documents from
the Foundation's archives in Basel. Although the notion of a
musical "mainstream" with Beethoven as its fons et origo barely
holds today, countless composers of the twentieth and twenty-first
centuries have referred to Beethoven in their music or creatively
sought to distance themselves from him. This volume illustrates his
ongoing relevance using documents from the collections of the Paul
Sacher Foundation. Designed to accompany the eponymous exhibition
in the Bonn Beethovenhaus, itadopts the four thematic areas of that
exhibition: "Learning and Teaching with Beethoven,"
"Idealizations," "Strategies of Reference," and "Distortion -
Dismantlement." It explores the contexts, techniques, and
ideological thrustsof Beethoven references in musicians of very
wide-ranging backgrounds, from Anton Webern, Béla Bartók, and
Richard Strauss to Mauricio Kagel, Cathy Berberian, and Kaija
Saariaho. The selected documents are captured in photographic
reproduction and accompanied by detailed commentary. Each section
is preceded by an introductory essay discussing general aspects of
recent Beethoven reception. A publication of the Paul Sacher
Foundation
