  69. The repertoire was dominated by Mendelssohn, Kalliwoda, Kreutzer, Weber, Spohr, Lachner, Marschner, and a host of minor figures; see the lists in Jahresbericht des Männergesang-Vereines in Wien 1847–1874; e.g. for 1874: 93–106.

  70. There has been a great deal written about this 1872 monument, its design by Carl Kundmann on a base by Theophil Hansen, the architect of the 1870 Musikverein. Schwind, Schubert’s friend, advised Kundmann on the design. The discussion about creating a monument dates from the 1850s; the Männergesangverein played the decisive role in getting the project done. The design was as controversial as the whole enterprise, but Schubert was the first of the Classical composers to be so honored in Vienna: the Beethoven monument was erected in 1880, the one for Haydn in 1887, and the Mozart monument was completed in 1896. Hugo Wolf was not alone in his ambivalence toward the sentimental and idealized image. As he explained to his parents in 1878, every time he walked by the monument, it forced him to confront his own views; see Wolf, Briefe, 1:39. On the monument, see Ludwig Speidel’s 1872 essay “Das Schubert Denkmal,” in Wiener Frauen und anderes Wienerisches (Berlin, 1910), 120–25.

On Robert Lach and Georg Knepler, see Gerhard Oberkofler, “Über das musikwissenschaftliche Studium von Georg Knepler an der Wiener Universität,” Mitteilung der Alfred Klahr Gesellschaft 3 (2006); available at http://www.klahrgesellschaft.at/Mitteilungen/Oberkofler_3_06.html. There is some controversy about the fact that a street in Vienna is named for Lach. See the Viennese newspaper Der Standard, July 2012. The lecture, delivered on 19 November 1928 at the University of Vienna, can be found in Robert Lach, Das Ethos in der Musik Schuberts (Vienna, 1928).

  91. An example of this reception pattern—glorifying Schubert as emblematic of the essence of Viennese middle-class cultural values and practices, produced after Deutsch’s research—is the volume on Schubert in Jugendhefte für Literatur und Kunst published by the Lower Austrian Division of Youth right after World War I.

  92. See Ludwig Speidel’s 1894 essay, “Franz Schubert in der Höldrichsmühle,” in his Wiener Frauen und anderes Wienerisches, 126–32.
