  • “Und neiget das Haupt…”

    Peter PetersenARTICLEArchiv für Musikwissenschaft2023

    The aria “My dearest Savior” (Mein teurer Heiland) from Bach’s St. John Passion deals with a motif belonging to the history of piety in which the bowing of Jesus’s head at the moment of his death is interpreted as a yes-word to the believer for salvation. Bach’s text closely follows Barthold Heinrich Brockes’s 1712 passion poem “Der für die Sünde der Welt gemarterte und sterbende JESUS,” which was set to music by several composers. A comparison o…

  • Heterometrie in den Rhythmischen Studien von Ferdinand Hiller

    Peter PetersenARTICLEArchiv für Musikwissenschaft2021

    Ferdinand Hiller’s Rhythmic Studies op. 52 afford fitting material for the demonstration and discussion of metric issues’ dependency on the actual given rhythm of a composition. A special feature of the seven piano pieces is their heterometric construction (formerly: the asymmetrical structure of the meter). The heterometric meter used by Hiller is not merely a requirement, but rather the result of compositional considerations, which can be prove…

  • Riemannian Geometry

    Peter L Petersen, Peter PetersenBOOKRiemannian Geometry2013

    This book is intended for a one year course in Riemannian Geometry. It will serve as a single source, introducing students to the important techniques and theorems while also containing enough background on advanced topics to appeal to those students wishing to specialize in Riemannian Geometry. Instead of variational techniques, the author uses a unique approach emphasizing distance functions and special coordinate systems. He also uses standard…

  • "Über das "Triumphlied“ von Johannes Brahms

    Open AccessPeter PetersenARTICLEDie Musikforschung1999

    Mit Bezug auf die strittige Textstelle aus der Apokalypse 19,2 ("daß er die große Hure verurtheilet hat") wird nachgewiesen, dass Johannes Brahms ein prosodisch korrektes Instrumentalthema entworfen und durchgeführt und dabei die sprachliche Fassung der Bibeln vor 1870 verwendet hat. Die alte Auffassung, dass das Hauptthema des 1. Satzes eine Variation der Hymne ist, kann bestätigt werden, weil die beiden Melodien im auch sonst von Brahms verwend…
