Mozart's ...Beethoven was not an opera composer. Mozart's brother-in-law, named, I guess, Herr Mayer, was a famous singer at that time and took a role in Fidelio. He said:" My brother-in-law had never composed like this! In many parts it is not able to sing."<br /><br />After the premiere Beethoven's friends persuaded him to rewrite some parts of Fidelio and he did. <br />You see, Beethoven was not a genius like Mozart. He did fight for every single note. <br /><br />Beethoven was an idol of many composers such as Schubert, Brahms, Weber, and Wagner. When Wagner was a music student, he copied the symphonies of Beethoven a lot in oder to learn the structure of the composition. <br /><br />Look forward to your review of Tannhäuser.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6732274191821624755.post-50460025084416783562011-02-22T19:37:15.222+00:002011-02-22T19:37:15.222+00:00Dear lotus-eater,
Thank you. Beethoven is one of ...Dear lotus-eater,<br /><br />Thank you. Beethoven is one of my favourite composers also, and Fidelio one of my favourite operas. <br /><br />His strong personality is felt in his works. Despite his deafness, I thing Beethoven could "hear" his Fidelio, maybe not with the voice of Schröder-Devrient...<br /><br />You gave us the reason why there are more than one ouverture for this opera :) Thanks.<br /><br />Soon I will be reviewing Tannhauser...<br /><br />Best wishes.wagner_fanatichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09624184063174356078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6732274191821624755.post-82988539160933842592011-02-22T07:52:29.186+00:002011-02-22T07:52:29.186+00:00:) good morning dear Fanatico...

At that time he realised that he was becoming deaf and decided to kill himself in Heiligenstadt. However he was a man of strong will. He changed his mind, came back to Vienna and finished Fidelio. <br /><br />As this opera was premiered in 1805, Beethoven faced another problem: On account of Napoleon's invasion the audience who could afford the expensive tickets had already run away from Vienna. The theater was partly fulled with Beethoven's friends and french soldiers. The premiered was a flop. They said Fidelio was too heavy. Beethoven rewrote it 3 times, but had to wait many years for the success. <br /><br />1822 Wilhelmine Schröder-Devrient who later became Wagner's muse took the main role in Fidelio and earned great success. Beethoven, aged 52, saw her performance, but he could hear nothing. For me he was the greatest composer in music history.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6732274191821624755.post-2106480611440805712011-02-21T23:17:01.184+00:002011-02-21T23:17:01.184+00:00Caro wagner_fanatic,

Novamente com fotografias óptimas. <br />Eu nunca esquecerei o Fidelio que vi de Zurique (onde ouvi Kaufmann pela primeira vez) onde toda a concepção do espectáculo foi marcante e inesquecível.FanaticoUmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15851818873030262585noreply@blogger.com
