Three works by conductor Felix Weingartner (1863-1942) feature the title essay, which discusses the performing difficulties and interpretation questions involved in Beethoven's 9 symphonies. Also includes "On Conducting" and "The Symphony Since Beethoven," both attesting to the belief that art is at its best when an "exceedingly delicate balance is attained between the feeling and the intellect."

Felix Weingartner war einer der beruhmtesten Dirigenten Osterreichs und wird bis heute zu den pragenden Figuren des 20. Jahrhunderts gerechnet. Im vorliegenden ersten Teil seiner Autobiographie gewahrt der hochbegabte Kunstler intime Einblicke in sein Leben und Schaffen. Seine Erinnerungen reichen von seinen Anfangen als Student in Graz und Leipzig, uber seine Studien mit Franz Liszt in Weimar bis hin zu seinem Umzug nach Berlin. Eine Vielzahl an bemerkenswerten personlichen Anekdoten machen Weingartners mit feinem Spott gewurzten Erzahlungen zu einem wichtigen Dokument der Zeitgeschichte. Der zweite Teil der Autobiographie 'Lebenserinnerungen II' erscheint ebenfalls im SEVERUS Verlag unter der ISBN 978-3-86347-725-7.

Completed in 1849, the "Te Deum," like the earlier and more famous "Grande Messe des Morts," is one of Berlioz's self-described "architectural" works. While the orchestral forces required are nowhere near as massive as huge as those for the Requiem, the work does call for a pipe organ which can compete on equal terms with the rest of the orchestra. It lasts approximately fifty minutes and derives its text from the traditional Latin Te Deum, although Berlioz made some changes to word order for dramatic purposes. The instrumental Prelude and Marche are seldom performed in concert. This new study score is a digitally enhanced reprint of the full score issued as part of the Berlioz complete works edited by Charles Malherbe and Felix Weingartner in 1900.
