Examines the history of musical self-quotation, and reveals and
explores a previously unidentified case of Schubert quoting one of
his own songs in a major instrumental work. Enthusiasts and experts
have long relished Schubert's quotations of his own music. This
study centers on a previously unidentified pairing: "Ave Maria,"
one of his most beloved songs, and the Piano Trio no. 2, a
masterpiece that holds a unique position in his career. Messing's
Self-Quotation in Schubert interrogates the concept of
self-quotation from the standpoints of terminology and authorial
intent, and it demonstrates, for the first time, how Schubert's
practice of self-quotation relates to prevailing practices in the
late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Messing goes on to
analyze in detail the musical relationships between the two works
and to investigate thecircumstances that led Schubert to compose
each of them. "Ave Maria" is one of the few Schubert songs for
which we have documentation of some early private performances, and
the trio stood at the heart of Schubert's only public concert
devoted to his works. Messing establishes that Schubert sought to
convey an associative meaning with this self-quotation, trusting in
his contemporaries' familiarity with the original melody and with
Walter Scott's poem, a text that carried profound resonances in
Catholic Vienna. Scrutinizing this evidence yields the symbolic
purpose behind Schubert's allusion to "Ave Maria" in the piano
trio: honoring the recently deceased Beethoven andvalidating
Schubert as his legatee. SCOTT MESSING is Charles A. Dana Professor
of Music Emeritus at Alma College.
