The Mahler Family Letters (review)

Mahler Family Letters. Edited and translated by Stephen McClatchie. New York: Oxford University Press, 2006. [xiii, 418 p. ISBN 0-195-14065-6. $65.00] Illustrations, bibliographic references, index. Stephen McClatchie's Mahler Family letters examines hundreds of pieces of correspondence between Mahler and his immediate family. Compared to other sources that include letters between Mahler and Richard Strauss or Alma Schindler, this book translates 568 letters from German into English. While a number of these documents are from various sources, most of these items are housed in the Mahler-Rose Collection at the University of Western Ontario, and until now many of the letters were difficult to access, especially in English. introduction provides the details of Mahler's family tree and traces how the letters ended up in Canada. McClatchie describes how the Mahler-Rose Collection is organized and some challenges in determining dates on various letters. Although Mahler corresponded with his parents and four younger siblings, Alois, Justine, Otto, and Emma, the majority of the letters focus on the relationship Mahler had with his younger sister Justine. When Justine married violinist Arnold Rose, she continued to save the letters. After her daughter Maria Rose inherited them, she finally donated the collection to the University of Western Ontario in 1983. letters themselves span from Mahler's teenage years (1876) to his final year in America (1911), with the majority of letters from Hamburg (1891-97). Having a general knowledge of Mahler's career as a conductor will provide readers a greater insight into his offstage life, thus creating a more complete understanding of the composer. In many of these letters Mahler reports on his rehearsals, working conditions, and his impressions of the press. Readers will gain a greater understanding of the responsibilities of a European conductor during the late nineteenth century. value of these letters is increased by McClatchie's attention to detail in the footnotes along with an index that documents events and individuals such as Alma's half sister Margarethe Legler-Schindler and conductor Josef Stransky, who became director of the New York Philharmonic after Mahler's death. McClatchie organizes the book into an introduction followed by five chapters based on Mahler's career. chapters include: 1) Early Years (Vienna, Kassel, Prague, Leipzig); 2) Budapest (September 1888-1891); 3) Hamburg (March 1891-April 1897); 4) Vienna (April 1897-November 1907); and 5) Last Years (New York, Toblach, Vienna). For readers less familiar with Mahler's career each chapter begins with a chronology of relevant events and accomplishments. McClatchie then presents the letters from the period in chronological order and places letters without documented dates at the end of the chapter. Compared with other Mahler resources these translations create a true picture of Mahler's life. In several hundred letters to his sister Justine, Mahler speaks frankly about his challenges, family dynamics, health, and welfare. Although sometimes noted as controlling, Mahler supported his siblings as his parents' health deteriorated. After the death of his parents, Mahler assumed a more parental role and Justine took on a more maternal role. Throughout the years Mahler shared his earning with his family and contributed toward the living expenses and the education of his siblings. As with many families, rivalry also surfaced in the letters as Mahler reminded Justine to make sure that his younger brother Otto followed through in his studies. His frustration with Otto remained a constant subject in the letters. Mahler's concern for others quickly appears in the chapter The Early Years. Mahler routinely reports his progress to the family and always inquires about their well being and his desire to visit them. tone of the letters to Justine reveals her to be a confidant and best friend, who is only replaced with his wife Alma in the final chapters. …

Little Theories and Big Problems: Chicago Sociology and Ethnic Conflicts*

Since this society is oriented toward a specific theory, I thought I ought to say something about theories in general and our little theory in particular. Let me get that off of my chest. I am not overly fond of terms like “theory” and “theorist,” both of which seem to suggest the importance of the person who claims the identity more than anything else. They are pompous terms. To the extent that we are thoughtful about what we are doing and how we are going about it, all sociologists are theorists and methodologists. But if that is all we are, then we are literally people of no substance. We have no substantial knowledge of or concern for the empirical world. The little theory we share is extraordinarily empirical. It is, as one of its most prominent practitioners called it, a “grounded theory” (Glaser and Strauss 1967).I confess that several years after receiving my degree I had no real sense of what symbolic interaction was and how it might differ from other theoretical orientations. Arnold Rose enlightened me on this when he asked me to submit a paper for a new collection he was editing (Rose 1962). I was pleased and flattered. Rose was a mentor of mine, and I had never before been asked to contribute to an edited volume. But I was unsure of what would be appropriate for a book about symbolic interaction. I screwed up my courage and asked Arnold: “Exactly what is symbolic interaction”” He shrugged off my ignorance, turned on his heels, and muttered over his shoulder, “It is what they do at Chicago.”

The Gustav Mahler-Alfred Rose Collection at the University of Western Ontario

When Alma Mahler-Werfel and her husband, the Austrian writer Franz Werfel, fled Vienna in the spring of 1938 after the Nazi Anschluss, she left the better part of Mahler's papers and correspondence in the library that occupied the top floor of her house. Its destruction by an Allied bomb during the final days of the war has been a matter of endless regret for Mahler scholars ever since. A similar fate might easily have befallen Mahler's sister's collection of letters and- manuscripts, now housed in the Gustav Mahler-Alfred Rose Room of the Music Library at the University of Western Ontario, in London, Ontario, had it not accompanied her husband, Arnold Rose, on his flight to England shortly after her death in August 1938. The Mahler-Rose Collection consists of Mahler's letters to his parents and siblings, as well as musical manuscripts, letters, cards, photographs, and other memorabilia relating to Gustav Mahler, his sister, Justine, and her husband, Arnold Rose, the leader of the renowned Rose Quartet and longtime concertmaster of the Hofoper orchestra (see fig. 2). That it ended up in London, Ontario is the result of a chain of coincidences set up by the massive dislocation and disruption caused by the Second World War. After Hitler invaded Austria in March of 1938, justine and Arnold's son, Alfred, and his wife Maria fled to the United States. A few months after that, Arnold and Alma Rose, Alfred's sister, found refuge in England, taking the collection with them in steamer trunks. Alma subsequently went to Holland to play and conduct, and became trapped by the Nazi occupation; she perished in Auschwitz-Birkenau in 1944 after having conducted a women's orchestra in the camp.(1) In 1946, after learning of his daughter's fate, Arnold passed away in England while preparing to join his son in the United States. The Mahler-Rose Collection was then shipped to Cincinnati, where Alfred and Maria had settled in 1938. There it might have remained, had a former pupil of Arnold Rose not recommended that Alfred be hired to start an opera workshop at the Conservatory in London, Ontario. After running this workshop for the summers of 1946 and 1947, Alfred was offered a permanent job teaching at the Music Teacher's College, newly affiliated with the University. (The College would undergo several metamorphoses eventually to become the Faculty of Music in 1968.) He and his wife moved to London in 1948, bringing the collection with them. For over three decades it remained in a London bank vault, until it was deposited in the Mahler-rose Room in the Music Library at Western by Maria Rose in 1983, eight years after her husband's death. When the collection was given to the Music Library, most of the material had been stored in twenty-one, large manila envelopes. While the items in each envelope proved to be in no particular order and the relationship among the envelopes revealed no particular pattern, the decision was made not to tamper with the overall organization of the collection, apart from arranging the items in each envelope in a rough chronological order. Each item was then given an individual accession number and a letter code to indicate the nature of the item. For example, MJ signifies a letter from Mahler to justine, and MF a letter from Mahler to another family member. The complete shelfmark for each item begins with the envelope number, then the letter code, and concludes with the accession number (e.g. E3-MJ-31). There are four supplements to the main body of the collection: (1) 38 letters sold to the University of Western Ontario by Alfred Rose in 1971; (2) material purchased by the Music Library at Sotheby's sale of Alfred Rose's cousin's, Ernest Rose's, collection; (3) and (4) material - scores, photographs, memorabilia - given to the Library by Mrs. Rose in 1989. The third supplement relates to Mahler, while the fourth relates to the Rose family. In the spring of 1995, Mrs. Maria Rose dissolved her apartment in London and entered a nursing home. …

Washington University’s pig roast: Ending sociology and jeopardizing liberal arts

In its September 25, 1989 issue Time magazine also mentions the Washington University decision in connection with a short article on the increased costs of higher education and the apparent need for universities to choose among disci plines. No doubt this national-level publicity pleases Washington University's administration, since costs and the need to choose which programs to support have been their public explanation for the decision to close the sociology de partment. But for anyone with an institutional memory, this decision is a sad one, for Washington University had been the home of at least two full generations of top-flight sociologists. Even in the years before World War II the department had two out of four faculty who were to go on to serve as president of the American Sociological Association?Stuart Queen and L. L. Bernard.

Women in Academic Sociology, 1925–75

Abstract The career patterns of two distinguished sociologists, Arnold and Caroline Rose, exemplify male-female differentials in academic career patterns in sociology. Arnold's career was a straight and steep line of progression; Caroline's, despite her record of scholarly productivity, existed on the fringes of academia—night school, correspondence courses, and extension and part-time teaching. Examination of the authors and reviews in the American Journal of Sociology and the American Sociological Review confirms this model of women at the academic margins: over the years, women have written a far greater proportion of the book reviews than of the articles. This pattern parallels that women in academic life generally, although not all of it can be attributed to discriminatory factors. While the participation of women in mainstream academic life has increased in very recent years, these historic patterns indicate the possible need for different formal models of male and female academic careers.

“Uncle Toms:” White Stereotypes in the Black Movement

Some two decades ago, Arnold Rose suggested that the Negro in American society takes on the prejudices of that society-including the prejudices against black people. The Negro sees that most blacks occupy inferior occupational positions, have less education, and occupy lower social statuses than his fellow white Americans. Because of this Rose wrote that the Negro may unconsciously come to feel that by rejecting Negroes and "Negro ways," he can escape being a Negro and all the handicaps which that involves. Instead of a reactive prejudice directed toward his tormentors, the members of minority groups may direct their hatred inward. When this occurs, it can be said that a minority person hates members of his minority group (including himself) for some of the same stereotyped reasons that are held by the members of the majority group.
