Haydn and Time
Interdisciplinary Symposium,
January 19-21, 2009 University of Music and Performing
Arts Vienna
In daily experience, time is
perceived either as repetition of the same (cycle)
or as continuous, irreversible change (process).
Music has, thanks to its quality of temporal existence,
always had a special relation to time in tempo,
meter, and rhythm. Furthermore, since Haydn's day
the perception of continuity and change, time patterns
and irregular developments, has gained a sharper
focus. Not incidentally, authentic titles or later
added programmatic names of works by Haydn allude
to time and its passing: Le matin / Le midi / Le
soir / Die Uhr / Die Jahreszeiten. Therefore, our
conference intends to examine applications of this
sharpened perception on music. ur topic relates
to recent debates in various fields and research
areas such as New Musicology (e.g., narratology),
Cultural Studies (significance of memory in the
reception of music) and to the discussion initiated
by Reinhart Kosellek regarding the new perception
of time during the 18th century (cf. the journal
Das achtz ehnte Jahrhundert: vol. 30/2 [2006], "Zeitkonzepte").
Proposals for papers (in German
or English) including an abstract of no more than
250 words are requested by Dec. 15th, 2007, to the
following address:
