from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Joseph de Marliave (born November 16, 1873 in Toulouse ; died August 24, 1914 in Sénon ) was a French musicologist and critic, best known for his work on Beethoven's string quartets , among other things .

Life

Marliave worked as a critic for various magazines, including the magazine La Nouvelle Revue , in which he wrote weekly publications on musical works. He used the name “J. Saint-Jean ”, for example in 1908 in the contribution Une symphonie de A. Bruckner . He was married to the pianist Marguerite Long since February 26, 1906 .

Marliave was also the translator of Richard Strauss ' opera Salomé , who in turn translated Hedwig Lachmann from English for his libretto. The French version was shown in Paris in May 1910. He also edited the lyrical comedy Pepita Jimenez by the Spanish composer Isaac Albéniz , which was performed in 1923 at the Opéra-Comique in Paris. He also worked on a French version of the opera Goyescas by Enrique Granados and was friends with Gabriel Fauré .

During World War I he served as a captain of the infantry in the French army. When he led his men under heavy fire at Spincourt, he was fatally wounded and died shortly after the start of the war in August 1914. Maurice Ravel dedicated the toccata of his piano suite Le Tombeau de Couperin to him after the end of the war .
