Heimat Is Where the Heart Is; or, What Kind of Hungarian was Goldmark?

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  20 April 2017

Extract

On 2 January 1915, during the first winter of the First World War, the celebrated composer Carl Goldmark died in Vienna at the ripe old age of eighty-four. The Viennese press gave the story of his passing the kind of coverage that one would expect for a figure who was described as the “rector of Austrian music,” even its “epicenter.” The notice in the Neue Freie Presse was particularly striking in its imagery: “We, musical Vienna and the entire musical world, stand shaken around the funeral bier of the great composer and Austrian Carl Goldmark.” As the report goes on, the writer makes a clear reference to the growing war effort: “Many of our best and brightest must now die on the battlefield for the fatherland. Goldmark lived for his fatherland, and by creating art touched by the breadth of eternity, he honored the fatherland in his own way and greatly increased the cultural heritage of humanity.” Meanwhile, in the other great capital of the Dual Monarchy, the composer's death was covered very differently. To read the obituaries that appeared in Budapest is to be told that Hungary, not Austria, was Goldmark's fatherland. Here, in effect, both halves of the monarchy were fighting over the same man's legacy—the one, primarily on the basis of his Hungarian birth and childhood; the other, on the basis of his long residency in Austria and the central role he played in the musical culture of late Habsburg Vienna.

On Eötvös and the monetary grant from the Hungarian government, more is to follow. There is no question that the inclusion of an excerpt from the opera in the benefit concert that Liszt gave in Vienna in January 1874 was a significant development.

10 For places known by both German and Hungarian names during Goldmark's lifetime, I generally give both names upon their first appearance in the text and then use only the German names (which Goldmark would have used) thereafter. For reasons of clarity, however, I will sometimes give both the German and Hungarian names for Deutschkreuz.

26 “Cosmopolitanism” should not be equated here with Jewishness, since Beer uses the same term to describe the “international” artistic styles of Liszt and Mihály Munkácsy, Hungary's most celebrated painter, neither of whom were Jews.

45 The autograph score of the original version is housed in Budapest, National Széchényi Library (Sign. Ms. mus. 6.519). I take my spelling of the work as Zrinyi rather than the Hungarian Zrínyi from this source. The same library also holds a copy of the work that is largely written in a foreign hand but contains Goldmark's subsequent autograph revision of the ending for the Budapest performance in 1907.

51 I leave out of consideration here the pernicious coopting of the term during the Nazi era to stand for “race (blood) and territory (soil), a deadly combination that led to the exile and annihilation of anyone who did not ‘belong.’” Kaes, Anton, From Hitler to Heimat: The Return of History as Film (Cambridge, MA, 1989), 165–66Google Scholar.

52 Goldmark, Erinnerungen, 82–83. At the end of this passage, Goldmark is obviously repeating the sentiment he had expressed in Keszthely. Goldmark uses both the older spelling with the genitive and the plural form “Heimatsrechte” and “Heimatsgefühle” for “Heimatrecht” and “Heimatgefühle.”

53 The documents in question are Goldmark's last Viennese Meldzettel, filed on 31 December 1910, in which his “Heimats(Zuständigkeits)ort und -land” is given as Keszthely, Hungary (Wiener Stadt- und Landesarchiv, Bestand 2.5.1.4.K11. Goldmark Karl 18.5.1830), and a petition to the court filed on his behalf by a Hungarian attorney in 1890 to request the legitimization of his daughter Minna, born out of wedlock to his housekeeper in 1866, in which he is described as “zuständig nach Német Keresztur [sic].” Vienna, Haus-, Hof-, und Staatsarchiv, Z 21723/I.M. 1890 ad 3281.
