THE BIRTHDAY OF THE INFANTA: FRANZ SCHREKER’S DANCE SUITE AS JUGENDSTIL PHENOMENA
Abstract
The article considers origins of a dance suite by Franz Schreker The Birthday of the Infanta, which was composed in 1908 for the Veinnese exhibition Kunstschau. Plot, dramaturgy, musical parametres are analysed. The main stylistic dominants of the suite allow to liken them to Jugenstil (German version of Art Nouveau). Key definitions of the Jugenstil such as Gesamtkunstwerk, ambivalence, cult of beauty and others are observed.
