Hey everyone, sorry if this is not the appropriate place to ask this question, but I was reading a book about Austrian middle class families during/after WW1, and one of the sons of the writer (Anna Eisenmenger) was a talented musician who published a Requiem in Vienna (where they lived), with some success, it seems. Yet I am unable to find any information on him. His name was Ernie, this was in the early 1920s, but maybe he had a different surname. Is there some place one could look for his works, something like Vienna musical archives? I am very much ignorant about such things. I do not know either if he became a full throated composer or dedicated himself to other things, it was obviously a difficult time period. Thank you for any help

Are there any newspaper articles or reviews from the 60s and 70s about bands like Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin etc. that criticized them, didn’t see the potential in them and didn’t think the successes these bands later had were possible?

To my knowledge, the original titles were War, Reminiscence, Home Expanses, and Victory, but he decided against it and used the tempo markings as titles. Was this due to censorship during the Stalin regime? Wanted to allow interpretation in his music, kind of like the 5th symphony? Just wanted to/no real reason at all? Why??

Thanks in advance!

Hi, I'm looking for sheet music to the song 'The Girls All Dote on a Military Man' by Bennett Scott and A.J. Mills, from 1911. The only place I can find it is on the Australian National Library. As an American, I can't actually access the images. If there are any Australians that can help me, I'd be very appreciative, or if anyone else could find the song somewhere else.

Thank you!

The Ramones/Sex Pistols are a couple of the earlier examples of punk rock. Iggy Pop was a huge influence on it. The Bobby Fuller Four’s “I Fought The Law” I would say fits the mold pretty well lyrically. I would even argue that Woodie Guthrie’s politically motivated lyrics were punk rock.

What are some other early examples of music that would be, at least lyrically, along the same lines?

Hello Music History fellows. I am writing a paper of The Barber of Seville by Rossini and need at least one primary source. It just has to be centered around Rossini around the time when the opera was composed/showcased. I’m having trouble searching for one… so I am asking for your helping hand in hopes that any of you may have any recommendations!!! Thanks!

You might be familiar with Bob Marley's song *War*, released in 1976 on his Rastaman Vibrations album. The iconic lyrics which address the need for racial and social equality were actually taken from a speech given by Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie I to the United Nations in 1963. Later in 1992, Irish singer Sinead O'Connor infamously covered *War* on *Saturday Night Live*, but flipped some of the lyrics to condemn the Catholic Church when numerous cases of child abuse came to light. The performance stirred significant controversy due to her on-air criticism of the Pope. But Selassie's words, via Marley and O'Connor, ultimately spoke truth to power as history has shown.

Hey everyone! I run an art project where I create music history prints, focusing on iconic bands’ discographies, essential records by genre, and the music history of important music capitals. I’d love to hear your thoughts on what prints you’d find interesting. So far, I've done music history prints on Bowie, Prince, Joy Division, The Smiths, The Cure, Kraftwerk and Depeche Mode, as well as compilations of essential post-punk albums and the music history of cities like Manchester, London, NYC, Sheffield, and Bristol, just to mention a few.

Are there specific bands, genres, or music-related themes you’d like to see explored? Your input would be very much appreciated as I work on new designs.

Thanks in advance for your ideas! If you’re curious about my work, here’s the link to my website: shop.thesenseofdoubt.com

Cheers!

So the title is pretty self explanatory, but let me start with saying I never heard of this band, until this moment, I was just pandering what to name a band me and few others are making and I had this idea, “Pet” since i was like 16, never once thought to look it up since i thought “i know a lot of music, i would know if there was a band named ‘Pet’”.

But I was wrong. and listening to their album from 1993, I realized I never heard of an amazing band. I cannot for the life of me find out what happened to them though, other than the guitarist, and bassist went to go be a backing member in bigger bands and the singer, Lisa Papineau just appeared to stop working with said band.

If anyone on this subreddit can give me any little knowledge about the band I’d love to hear it. like stated I cannot believe i never heard of them and cannot believe they didn’t get big, they have a song featured in one of the crow movies, but I know it ain’t the first one, i would’ve known them for awhile if that was the case.

currently trying to find there album now lmao

While I was messing around with a cello plugin in Ableton, I've encountered this cool acoustic effect. I've provided a short audio clip. Just 2 voices playing quater notes. Towards the end of each quater note you can hear it, like short faint individual notes played in sequence.

What's going on from a physics standpoint and what terms does music theory use to describe it?

Kinda sounds like natural harmonics to me?

This is the book. I need it for my music history class but can’t pay for it and can’t find an online PDF for free… please help!!!

Hello, longtime classical music fan here, specifically Beethoven. I'm asking for help from anybody who knows a lot about him in particular.

I'm not even sure how many people here will know anything about this, as this theory is relatively niche even in the most dedicated Beethoven circles, but I've pretty much exhausted all other research efforts and figured there's no harm in asking for help on Reddit, because hey, you just never know.

The woman in the attached photograph is Minona von Stackelberg, one of Josephine von Brunsvik's daughters. There's quite a lot of evidence to suggest that she could have been Beethoven's secret illegitimate daughter — she was born nine months after Beethoven and Josephine supposedly spent a night together in Prague, and was a musical prodigy who actually composed a few works of her own. Her life story is both fascinating and tragic beyond imagination.

I'm curious about her because I'm a writer, and have extensive plans set in place to turn her life story into a novel one day, because I think it would make a fantastic read. Unfortunately, almost nobody knows anything about her — it seems she could very well be music history's biggest secret, as she doesn't even have a Wikipedia page yet. I'm really struggling in finding anything concrete about her other than a handful of articles that parrot the same basic information.

It's a long shot, but if anybody here has any information about her (research papers, archives I could search, maybe even comments made about her by friends or relatives of hers, etc), or could point me in the direction of some researcher or organization that could potentially tell me more, that would be unbelievably appreciated. Literally anything helps, no matter how small it seems. Thank you!

Most traditional English folk songs these days are performed with guitar, violin / fiddle, or both.

But what instruments would've been available and used by the hobby folk singer of 19th century England? Concertina? A forn of archaic guitar? Violin? Anything else?

I've made some assumptions here,so apologise beforhand if I'm wrong 😁

If the banjo was the instrument of the poor working class of Southern states of America, is there an equivalent instrument for England working class, I was thinking the renaissance cittern? But was wondering more 1880s-1920 Regards
