In the Wilhelmian era (1871–1918) the counterpoint is meant to overcome the so-called "cultural crisis": Contrapuntal thinking is exalted to a virtue belonging, above all, to the Germanic and Nordic people and contrasting positively with the shallowness of western civilisation. Personalities like Julius Langbehn, Houston Chamberlin, Oswald Spengler and Richard Benz represent this concept of culture which also invades musicology, e.g. by way of Hans-Joachim Moser. In this respect, the ideology of national socialism (1933–1945) concentrates on the personality of J.S. Bach who is stilised as the greatest counterpointist of all times, to an exemplary "Artbewahrer". (Vorlage) (BMS) |
