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

Previously unseen letters, documents and photographs trace the life and artistic evolution of Elliott Carter, and capture his friendships with fellow musicians and others.Born in New York in December 1908, the venerable but still active American composer Elliott Carter is one of the most highly regarded figures in the music of our time. His works span more than seven decades and have been the subject of many analyses, and most of his writings have appeared in carefully edited collections. In contrast, few of the documents on his life and music, largely preserved at the Paul Sacher Foundation in Basel, are known to the public. This body of material forms the main source of the present volume, which offers a richly annotated selection of Carter's correspondence and other documents, including unpublished writings, facsimiles of music manuscripts, and photographs. The book traces the biographical, intellectual, and artistic evolution of a composer who, building on American modernism and interacting with the latest developments in Europe, has forged a distinctive, highly sophisticated musical language, and captures his friendships with fellow musicians and friends such as Charles Ives, Nadia Boulanger, John Kirkpatrick, Aaron Copland, Nicolas Nabokov, and more recently, Pierre Boulez, Oliver Knussen, Heinz Holliger, Daniel Barenboim, and James Levine. Published in association with the Paul Sacher Foundation.

An exploration of how music and musicians have moved between North America and Europe and the positive exchanges that have resulted.Throughout the 20th century, exchanges between North America and Europe were vital to the development of musical life on both sides of the Atlantic, shifting from a postcolonial imbalance of cultural power at the opening of the century to an increasing sense of encounters between equals. There were productive exchanges of all sorts and in both directions, with ever-shifting dynamics over time. American musicians studied in Europe; European musicians visited the U.S. or were driven into exile there, orchestras and soloists crisscrossed the ocean to give concert tours; music festivals attracted an international clientele; and printed music, recordings, journalism, radio, and eventually the internet flowed freely within a transatlantic circuit.This volume, based on the papers presented at an international conference held at Harvard University and the University of Munich (2008/2009), explores how music and musicians - both Europeans and Americans - have moved across cultures, creating mutual benefit as well as occasional misunderstanding. It includes contributions by leading historians, theorists, and scholars of American studies as well as interviews with two prominent "transatlantic" composers of today, Betsy Jolas and Steve Reich. The main chapters of the book are devoted to the following topics: "Performing National Identity", "Touring onthe Other Side", "Networks of Pedagogy and Patronage", "Exile and Emigration", "Wartime Concerns", "Cultural Politics on the Cold War", "Technological Intersections", "Institutional Havens and Confrontations", "Musical Languages:Concergences and Divergences", "Questioning Hierarchies, Challenging Boundaries".This volume has been edited by Felix Meyer, Carol J. Oja, Wolfgang Rathert and Anne C. Shreffler.

Masterarbeit aus dem Jahr 2020 im Fachbereich BWL - Unternehmensfuhrung, Management, Organisation, Note: 1,7, Universitat Hamburg, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Experten zufolge wird das Konzept der kunstlichen Intelligenz als Schlusseltechnologie des 21. Jahrhunderts gesehen, welches speziell in den vergangenen Jahren vermehrt Einzug in Praxis und Wissenschaft erhalt. Dabei zeichnet sich die Thematik insbesondere in der Automobilbranche als eine der bedeutendsten Transformationstechnologien unseres digitalen Zeitalters aus. Fragen daruber, was es ist, was es bereits tun kann und welches Potenzial es aufweist, sind in samtlichen Bereichen wie bspw. Technologie, Politik, Wirtschaft, Recht und Ethik Hauptgegenstand zahlreicher Diskussionen und Artikel. Wahrend sich ein Groteil der offentlichen Diskussionen uber kunstliche Intelligenz auf prominente Beispiele wie die Realisierung des autonomen Fahrens fokussiert, wachst die Zahl der weniger beachteten Anwendungen fur kunstliche Intelligenz in der gesamten Wirtschaft rasant. Hierbei ist kunstliche Intelligenz insbesondere in der Automobilbranche bereits zu einer alltaglich eingesetzten Technologie geworden. Welches Potenzial hat der Einsatz von kunstlicher Intelligenz innerhalb der Automobilbranche jedoch tatsachlich und welche Chancen und Herausforderungen gilt es fur das Management eines Unternehmens bei der Implementierung und den Auswirkungen zu berucksichtigen? Genau diese Fragen werden im Rahmen dieser Arbeit im Detail analysiert und beantwortet.
