Georg Pittrich

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

George Washington Pittrich (born February 22, 1870 in Dresden , † March 17, 1934 in Nuremberg ) was a German composer and conductor .

Life

Pittrich attended the Conservatory for Music and Theater in Dresden from 1884 to 1890, whose curriculum included theoretical subjects and keyboard, string and wind instruments. In addition, the students were instructed in rhetoric and singing. The teaching program also included stage training. The conservatory was founded in 1856 as a private teaching institution and on its 25th anniversary in 1881 the King of Saxony awarded it the title “Royal Conservatory”. His teachers at the Conservatory were: Ferdinand Braunroht (* 1856; † 1913) for harmony, counterpoint and piano; Felix Draeseke (* 1835; † 1913) for form theory and higher composition; Adolf Hagen (* 1851; † 1926), for orchestral and composition theory and management skills as well as management practice; Emil Robert Höpner , Kreuz organist (* 1846; † 1903) from 1885 (retired in 1902) and teacher at the conservatory for piano since 1874 and for organ since November 1, 1885; Theodor Fürchtegott Kirchner (* 1823; † 1903) for score playing; Emil Naumann (1827–1888) for music history and Alfred Bertrand Roth (* 1855, † 1938) for piano as a specialty. Pittrich received an organ award donated by the Dresden City Council in 1888 after six months of organ lessons with Emil Höpner.

On the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the assumption of patronage over the Dresden Conservatory by the Saxon Crown Prince in 1898 in the presence of the now King Albert of Saxony at the festive event a. a. performed two songs composed by Pittrich: "Hope" and "You alone". During a concert by the conservatory in autumn 1888, Pittrich played the “Prelude and Fugue for Organ” in B minor by Johann Sebastian Bach and the “Sonata for Organ, for Four Hands” in D minor by on the organ of the Dresden Kreuzkirche Gustav Merkel together with his classmate Paul Claussnitzer from Niederschöna , who had also taken organ lessons with Höpner and also received his school-leaving certificate as an organist. In July 1890 Pittrich took part in a recital in Schandau . He played the “Sonata A flat major Op. 110, 1st movement ”by Beethoven and an“ Etude ”in C minor by Chopin as well as a work composed by himself, a Nocturne in F sharp major.

After his musical training, which he graduated with distinction, Pittrich got a job as a répétiteur at the Hofoper in Dresden in 1890 . At theater rehearsals he had to accompany the actors instead of the orchestra by playing the piano. Outside of his full-time work, the young pianist worked temporarily in 1892 as the director or conductor of the Dresden men's choir "Liedergruss" in "Meinhold's halls" with practice hours once a week.

He also held the position of music teacher at the Saxon Court from 1895 to 1898. George Washington Pittrich was temporarily a teacher of the then Crown Princess at the Saxon royal court, Luise .

Collaboration in the Tonkünstler Association

After completing his studies at the Dresden Conservatory in 1890, Pittrich joined the Tonkünstler-Verein zu Dresden , founded in 1854 as a pianist and composer , which also had external members. There he mainly got to know musical works that had not been rehearsed before, continued his education by making music together and presented his own compositions. The “Fantasy for Pianoforte and String Orchestra”, which he composed and was only available as a manuscript at the time, was performed by Pittrich for the first time in 1893 in a practice session of the association. Songs composed by him were performed in 1898 with his participation on the piano. Ernst Wachter (1872–1931) from the Royal Opera House in Dresden made himself available to the Tonkünstler-Verein as a singer . As Kapellmeister in Hamburg and Frankfurt am Main, Pittrich is named as an external member in the reports on the Tonkünstler-Verein, after he was listed as a répétiteur and composer in the membership directory of the Dresden artists in the reporting year 1897/98 .

Awards

Pittrich was awarded the school-leaving certificate as a pianist, composer and conductor on the decision of the teaching staff of the conservatory on March 16, 1890, after he had already received the certificate as organist the year before. As a composition student from the class of the conservatory teacher Felix Draeseke , he received a bonus from the Friedrich Pudor Foundation in the school year for the scores for the music of the B minor Mass by Johann Sebastian Bach and the music by Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy for William Shakespeare's Midsummer Night 's Dream 1989/90. He received an “award certificate” for excellent performance as a piano player from Bertrand Roth's piano class .

In 1894, the composer and répétiteur at the court theater was awarded the Royal Saxon Order of Merit, the Albrechtskreuz . It was the year in which the opera Marga, composed by Pittrich, was performed in Dresden at the beginning of February and "achieved a complete success".

accident

Pittrich was bitten by a poisonous snake on the Baltic Sea near Lohmen on Rügen in August 1894 . As a result, the hand and arm swelled dangerously up to the armpit. He had to travel to Greifswald , “where a university professor could counteract blood poisoning,” reported the German-language American newspaper “Indiana Tribüne” from Saxony on August 23 about the “Correpetitor der Königl. Hofoper Georg Pittrich ”in Dresden . "Much would not have been missing and the young artist would have come to an early end", wrote the Dresden writer and editor Roeder about the accident of the then member of the "Royal Musical Band" and young composer Pittrich. Philipp Ernst Roeder (* 1862; † 1897) also mentioned in the biographical sketch that it was the bite of an adder on the island of Rügen, which the Greifswald University Clinic successfully treated.

A year earlier, Pittrich was introduced to the newspaper readers of "Indiana Tribüne" as a "young composer" in connection with the announcement of his one-act opera "Mara", which was performed as the "first novelty in the Dresden Court Opera". The news from Dresden highlighted the first-class cast, e.g. B. with the chamber singer Therese Müller (* 1850; † 1930), called Malten .

On the piano, Pittrich accompanied Dresden singers in external appearances, for example the Royal Saxon Court Opera singer Maria Bossenberger (1872-1919) on March 29, 1898 when she performed songs in Leipzig as part of the Liszt Association concerts.

Kapellmeister at several German theaters

Subsequent to his musical activity as a répétiteur at the Dresden Court Theater, Pittrich became a conductor at various German theaters, including in Hamburg (from 1898), Frankfurt / Main (from 1901), in Dresden at the Central Theater (from 1904). The Berlin journalist Leo Heller (1876–1941) reported that Pittrich first stood at the conductor's desk in Berlin in 1911, when the operetta The Forbidden Kiss was performed in the old Komische Oper . In the “Central Theater” in Dresden in the spring of 1912 the “farewell benefit” took place in favor of the “long-time beloved Kapellmeister”, who “went to Berlin as a conductor”.

During his time as 1st Kapellmeister at the winter garden and composer, Pittrich lived in the former rural community of Zehlendorf at the gates of the capital.

From 1914 Pittrich worked in Nuremberg. There he was Kapellmeister at the city ​​theater from 1922 . He also worked as a role-study teacher at the Nuremberg Conservatory. In Nuremberg, Pittrich called himself George Washington , as he was already in Dresden's official address book.

With his baptismal name "George Washington" Pittrich became known as a composer in the USA as well as in England. The Nuremberg population register 1928 shows “G. Pittrich ”as Kapellmeister as well as conductor, in particular he was active at that time as“ choir conductor ”at the old city theater there. Pittrich's birthday coincided with that of the first American President George Washington on February 22nd and so it came about that his father Carl Gottlob, later Gottlieb, Pittrich (* 1831; † 1908), who was "employed by the American club" at the time, gave him gave the president's name as a first name.

Create

The composer earned his first fee with the commissioned work to create a piece of music for Schiller's " The Maiden of Orleans ". The 21-year-old practiced his composition with the court orchestra and conducted the orchestra himself when the drama premiered in Dresden in 1891. The composer dedicated two of his songs to the royal Saxon chamber singer Clementine von Schuch-Proska (1850–1932), the “Wiegendlied” and the song “Mägdlein, nimm dich mind”, which appeared in autumn 1891 and “immediately became popular”.

Pittrich wrote music for operas and plays. For example, under the name Georg Pittrich, he composed the music for the plot for the play “Das Märchen vom Glück”, whereby the right to perform and the sheet music were obtained from the author Adele Osterloh through the agency of E. Pierson's publishing house in Dresden and Leipzig . The music critic and writer Friedrich Adolf Geißler (* 1868, † 1931) assessed Pittrich as a "highly talented and energetic Kapellmeister" and referred to his "musically excellent" preparation for the performance of Franz Lehar's operetta "The Man with the Three Women" in the " Central Theater “Dresden.

Previously, the music critic Geissler attested to the conductor Pittrich that he “has proven himself as a sensitive, confident and spirited conductor” and referred to the first performances of “ The Dollar Princess ” by Leo Fall and Heinrich Berté's operetta “Der kleine Chevalier” in Dresden in 1907 through the central theater. The successful compositions from Pittrich's time in Dresden included u. a. the music for the Christmas fairy tale “The Mouse Queen” or “How the Forest Came into the City”, for which FA Geißler wrote the text. The play had its 25th performance on January 4, 1906 in the Central Theater in Dresden. The music critic Ludwig Hartmann (1836–1910) praised Pittrich as a “talented conductor ” who “worked out discipline and delicacy” from the original variety orchestra of the Dresden Central Theater and referred to the quality of conducting Leo Falls ( 1873–1925) Operetta “ Der fidele Bauer ” in 1909.

Portrait

A portrait of the composer Georg Pittrich was published in the official journal of the German stage association "Bühne und Welt" in 1899/1900. There he is characterized by Goby Eberhardt as "a young, talented musician whose opera Marga found great acclaim in Dresden ". As a young musician, Georg Pittrich - dressed in tails and a white shirt with a black bow tie, supported with his left hand on a chest of drawers and touching the vest with his right hand on the pocket watch chain - was portrayed by the Royal Saxon and Royal Prussian courts -Photographer Wilhelm Höffert . A half-length portrait of this motif was published in 1896 in the biographical-critical sketches of the Dresden court theater.

Court purveyor Höffert advertised with the coats of arms of the Saxon and Prussian rulers as well as that of the Prince of Wales on the cabinet photo.

A hip picture of Pittrich, photographed in 1902 by court photographer Arthur Marx in Frankfurt am Main, has been in the collection of the local city and university library since 2003. At that time, Pittrich was the (2nd) conductor of the united city theaters in Frankfurt am Main, especially from 1901 at the opera house. The contemporary theater memorial printed a portrait photo of him and it named the Kapellmeister with his first and last name "Georg Pittrich", while he was entered in the address book for 1902 with the name "Pittrich George W.". The portrait in the “Theater Memorial” shows Pittrich with a mustache in a dark suit, standing in front of a round table, while he is leaning on a book lying there with his right hand. In May 1901, when Pittrich was still working as Kapellmeister in Hamburg , he had a copy of the original by the soprano Bianca Bianchi , actually widowed Pollini († 1897), née Bertha Schwarz, (* 1855 † 1947) on the occasion of her departure from the stage with a handwritten dedication on the back.

legacy

Pittrich died in Nuremberg at the age of 64 . As early as 1931 he was listed in his last position as "director of drama music" and no longer as "choir director" as in 1930 at the "United Municipal Theaters of Nuremberg-Fürth". His apartment was at Campestrasse 4 in the “Sankt Johannis” district of Nuremberg.

The Nuremberg musicologist Wilhelm Dupont (* 1905; † 1992) recorded the works of the composer Pittrich between 1890 and 1908 in a directory.

In an obituary by the “Genossenschaft Deutscher Bühnen-Members” for the dead from March 1934, the editor at Pittrich emphasized that his music, especially the composition for “Princess Turandot” made in Nuremberg, which was the second largest in 1923 City of Bavaria was premiered, "many friends" acquired.

The eldest son of George Washington Pittrich and his wife Else, née König, the actor Fritz Pittrich (* 1904), worked as stage manager and actor at the “Städtische Bühnen Nürnberg” when G. Pittrich no longer worked there as chief conductor and bandmaster.

Concert timpani with hand-hammered copper kettles in kettle sizes according to the Pittrich-Dresden tradition go back to an invention of his father Carl (also Karl) Pittrich when he was the orchestra servant of the court orchestra in Dresden in 1881. Pittrich has been developing a construction since 1872 with which the skin tension of the timpani is regulated by pedaling and not by a crank.

The association STRASSE DER MUSIK, founded in Halle (Saale) in 2009 , included Georg Pittrich on the list of Central German composer anniversaries ... for 2020 on the occasion of his 150th birthday .

The family name Pittrich is the Upper German form of the name Bittrich , Middle High German: büterich and means something like "a bulbous drinking vessel", but was also used as a mocking name for the "well-obese".
