Example text

It helps to explain—along with the visual impetus in Mendelssohn's music—the premium on surface, the stress on formal clarity and coherence, the long line, and the avoidance of developmental complexity and a sense of asymmetry. 6 ' Mendelssohn's commitment constituted an ethical response to his concern for the failures of ordinary language to transmit truth and engender harmony. Music a n d the Public: T h e M e n d e l s s o h n i a n Project T h e primacy o f music as a means of human communication in Mendelssohn's mind had little to do with the notion of absolute music associated with Eduard Hanslick and the opponents of Wagner that became widespread after the publication of Hanslick's tract (On the Beautiful in Music) in 1854.

In order to do that the true musical subject had to reflect not subjective individuality but generalizable truths whose ethical and aesthetic meaning was coincident with universal applicability. "*8 Mendelssohn, after all, was not an admirer of Meyerbeer and French grand opera. 49 It was precisely this paradox, perceived by Mendelssohn, about how alluring theatrical spectacles and the higher purposes of art could be reconciled on the operatic stage that Wagner took upon himself to solve. T h e theater could transcend the role of providing mere fantasy and entertainment and become a moral, emotional, and political force.

T h e process of exit from the ghetto and assimilation progressed concurrently with the liberalization o f economic activity and the end of the vestiges of a restrictive feudal economic order. As early as the late eighteenth century, the economic impact of toleration and Jewish emancipation—in terms of tax revenue and economic activity and its benefits for the state—had been widely discussed, but in a largely positive vein. By the time Bauer, Marx, and Wagner came to write their tracts on Jews, a negative linkage between Jews and the evils of capitalism had become commonplace—a radical transformation of earlier images of the Jew as Shylock and court financier.
