RISM Austria was the Austrian office of the Répertoire International des Sources Musicales , which until December 2003 belonged to the music collection of the Austrian National Library . Since 2004 the office has been subordinate to the Research Promotion Association for the Source Lexicon of Music , based in Vienna. Since November 2012 the name of the association has been “ Wiener Opernarchiv ”. In the meantime it is not related to the source dictionary.

history

Due to structural and personnel changes, a reorganization of the RISM Austria took place in 2004, in the course of which it was outsourced from the Austrian National Library and subordinated to the newly founded Research Promotion Association for the Source Lexicon of Music , based in Vienna. The Austrian lawyer and then President of the Administrative Court Clemens Jabloner was elected President of the non-profit organization. Leopold M. Kantner and Michael Jahn of the former employees remained with the association, Jahn took over the research management for scientific matters.

In accordance with the intention of the RISM, the association also sponsored various researches in the field of Austrian musical source studies , albeit with a focus on the history of the Vienna Opera . RISM Austria carried out inventories and other music-bibliographical surveys in Austria and collected and published their results. In the context of projects, the processing of musical source studies and aspects of Austrian music history should be guaranteed. The research results of these projects were published in the "Publications of rism-Austria" and on the association's website at the time.

In addition to the publications, there were lectures on the subjects of “Opera History” , “Opera in Vienna”, “Forgotten Composers” and “Musical Sources”. In 2011 the focus was on Franz Liszt , from 2012–2014 Giuseppe Verdi, Richard Wagner and the Vienna Court Opera Director Wilhelm Jahn .

Projects

Music archives in Austria

RISM Austria currently has several regional working groups. The Vorarlberg working group is based in Bregenz and cooperates there with the Vorarlberg State Archives . The RISM provincial management Tyrol-South Tyrol is located in Innsbruck , which runs the project Musikland Tirol and works with the provincial archive of the Franciscans . There is also a collaboration with Wilhering Abbey in Upper Austria, which has been supported by the Department of Musicology at the Austrian Academy of Sciences since 2009 .

In 2007 the RISM working group Salzburg was founded to record the music in the archives of the Archdiocese of Salzburg for the RISM database. In the meantime, the project has cataloged and researched all of the music manuscripts of the Salzburg Cathedral up to the founding of the Cathedral Music Association and the Mozarteum in 1841 .

RISM enables the regional working groups to publish the recorded musical sources (mostly handwritten or printed notes ) in the internationally used RISM database, taking into account any special requirements. In addition to data on the composer and work catalogs, bibliographical information such as title, diplomatic title, date and writer can be viewed there. In addition, the database records performance data and traces of ownership such as watermarks or dedications . There are also several registers available to the users of the database (title register, register of liturgical festivals, person and place registers, literature, register of signatures).

Research results of the regional working groups are published in the "Publications of RISM Austria" and, if possible, are given introductions by personalities who are closely connected to the respective music archives.

Opera as an international art form in Vienna

The aim of the project was to process the theater bills of the Vienna Court and State Opera from 1794 to 1945. The contents of the theater bills are usually recorded in their entirety, the statistics obtained from them take up a large part of the publications. The daily line-ups of the music and dance-dramatic works were evaluated for the first time, as were those of the concert events. In addition to the occupations, daily chronological fixtures are compiled and statistics are created. The same requirements apply to the other opera theaters in Vienna, provided that the holdings are preserved.

In addition to the statistical sections, the history of the opera in Vienna is processed, the leading personalities and the most important artists are treated as well as the opera repertoire, decoration and ballet. Contemporary reviews are also included. In the series “Writings on Viennese Opera History”, shorter articles on the subject of “Opera in Vienna” and, from 2010, presentations of the reception of works by great artists in Vienna (beginning with Donizetti , Meyerbeer , Verdi and Wagner) appear in loose compilation .

The research results were published in series B of the "Publications of RISM Austria".

Verdi in Vienna

In 1843 Giuseppe Verdi conducted his Nabucco in Vienna, in 1875 Aida and the Requiem . Many of his operas, although severely rejected by strict music critics on the occasion of their first performances, are still among the most important pillars of Vienna's opera repertoire.

Wagner in Vienna

It was not until 1857 that Richard Wagner's first music-dramatic work, Tannhäuser, was fully performed in a suburban theater in Vienna, and Lohengrin came out at the Court Opera a year later . The planned premiere of Tristan und Isolde could not be accomplished in Vienna, but at least the composer was supposed to rehearse Tannhäuser (Viennese version) and Lohengrin himself in 1875 and conduct a single performance of Lohengrin in 1876 .

Viennese historical opera guide

The aim is to scientifically review the appearance of the respective opera in Vienna. This includes time and place performances, the participants, versions of the work, cuts and changes, and reactions. The focus is on reviews of historical performances up to 1945. The research results are published in series C of the “Publications of RISM Austria”.
