PAUL GILSON (1865-1942), born and raised in Brussels, grew into a valued artist during the fin de siècle. He was and is known as an erudite composer, orchestrator, theoretician, critic, musicographer and educator. A prestigious Prix de Rome (1889) and his symphonic work La Mer (1892) made him known far beyond the national borders. Because of his remarkable commitment to wind music, and that of amateur orchestras in particular, we still remember Gilson today as the Father of Belgian wind music. Gilson's extremely versatile artistry resonated with numerous international trends. He closely followed current musical life at home and abroad and reported extensively in newspapers, magazines and radio broadcasts. At the conservatories of Brussels and Antwerp and as a private teacher, he managed to stimulate and sustainably influence a new generation of composers and musicians. That pedagogical passion also challenged Gilson to bundle his sharp insights into theoretical tracts. All of these facets of Gilson's life and work are the focus of this book, with a particular focus on his national and international importance. From his life to his correspondence with Russians, from his elaborate theories to his music for wind orchestras, opera music and compositions for horn and saxophone: the authors of this volume provide an in-depth and extensive insight into the character of Paul Gilson.

"As waves of composers migrated from Russia in the 20th century, they grappled with the complex struggle between their own traditions and those of their adopted homes. Russian Composers Abroad explores the self-identity of these emigres, especially those who left from the 1970s on, and how aspects of their diasporic identities played out in their music. Elena Dubinets provides a journey through the complexities of identity formation and cultural production under globalization and migration, elucidating sociological perspectives of the post-Soviet world that have caused changes in composers' outlooks, strategies, and rankings. Russian Composers Abroad is an illuminating study of creative ideas that are often shaped by the exigencies of financing and advancement rather than just by the vision of the creators and the demands of the public"-- As a Russian emigre herself, Dubinets soberly scrutinizes how, given the multitude of influences inevitably affecting these composers' creative expressions, critics and listeners are wrong to identify them as simply ""Russian.""

Der Band versammelt Günther Anders' bislang unveröffentlichte Briefwechsel mit Philosophen aus ihm nahestehenden Denktraditionen: mit Plessner, einem Hauptvertreter der philosophischen Anthropologie, mit Adorno, Horkheimer und Marcuse, die aus der ersten Generation der Frankfurter Schule stammen, sowie mit Bloch, der wie Anders der Kritischen Theorie zwar nahestand, aber dennoch ein «Outsider» blieb. Neben biografischen und zeithistorischen Aspekten machen die Briefe vor allem ein Stück Philosophiegeschichte erfahrbar, mithin das Denken und Handeln einer Generation von Intellektuellen, welche die Politik und Kultur Nachkriegseuropas eintscheidend prägte. Günther Anders teilt mit seinen Briefpartnern nicht nur weitreichende biografische Gemeinsamkeiten - die historischen Erfahrungen der Vertreibung aus NS-Deutschland, der Entfremdung vom jüdisch-deutschen Milieu und der Shoah. Er teilt mit ihnen auch das Anliegen, als Antwort auf diese Erfahrungen eine konkrete, nicht-akademische und engagierte Philosophie zu entwickeln. Wie umstritten dieses Anliegen unter den beteiligten Philosophen ist, dokumentieren ihre Briefe: Gerade im Streitgespräch mit Adorno werden die Bruchlinien zwischen Theorie und Praxis zum Thema. In einem Briefan Marcuse spricht Günther Anders vom Philosophen als dem «grundsätzlich Anstößigen», während er in einem anderen Brief betont: «man kann sich nicht für Widerspruch bezahlen lassen». Von diesen hohen moralischen Ansprüchen an Intellektuelle und Schreibende, dem Gestus der Unnachgiebigkeit und Kompromisslosigkeit in der Sache, zeugen die Briefe in diesem Band.
