Lectures

„Between Two Worlds“ – Hybride Musikedition am Beispiel der Erich Wolfgang Korngold Werkausgabe

The speakers will be presenting in person.

Abstract:

Seit 2021 entsteht die Erich Wolfgang Korngold Werkausgabe (EWK-WA) an der Humboldt Universität zu Berlin, der Goethe-Universität Frankfurt sowie der Hochschule für Musik und Theater Rostock. Es handelt sich um eines der wenigen musikwissenschaftlichen Editionsprojekte zu einem Komponisten des 20. Jahrhunderts, zumal einem verfemten Komponisten, der aufgrund seiner jüdischen Abstammung 1938 von Wien ins US-amerikanische Exil flüchten musste, wo er als erfolgreicher Filmmusikkomponist wirkte. Wie sich die Biographie Korngolds zwischen zwei Welten bewegt – Wien und Hollywood, Konzertsaal und Kinoleinwand – so setzt die EWK-WA auf ein hybrides Publikationsmodell, das sowohl gedruckte Bände als auch digitale Komponenten umfasst. Ziel des innovativen Hybridkonzepts ist eine möglichst starke Integration der beiden „Welten“ Print und Digital, die dem multimedialen Gegenstand der Filmmusik gerecht wird und ein dynamisches Zusammenspiel von traditionellem Notentext und Online-Inhalten ermöglicht.
