CATEGORY: feature TITLE: Et lector in Europa Ego – Ludwig van Beethoven liest Johann Gottfried Seume AUTHOR: Matthias Strässner DIRECTOR: Elisabeth Panknin PRODUCTION: Deutschlandfunk YEAR: 2013 DESCRIPTION: Der Dichter Johann Gottfried Seume, vor 250 Jahren am 29. Januar 1763 in der Nähe von Lützen geboren, ist heute weitgehend vergessen und seine Sätze sind eher als geflügelte Worte in Georg Büchmanns Zitatensammlung zu finden: „Wo man singt, da lass Dich ruhig nieder: Böse Menschen haben keine Lieder.“ In seinem Todesjahr 1810 hingegen war Seumes ›Spaziergang nach Syrakus‹ ein in Deutschland weit verbreitetes, viel gelesenes und bewundertes Buch. Dass zu dessen Lesern auch Ludwig van Beethoven gehörte, ist schon deswegen anzunehmen, weil Seumes Bücher (neben dem „Spaziergang“ auch die „Apokryphen") nach Beethovens Tod im Jahr 1827 in der „Verlassenschaft“ aufgeführt und von Wiener Zensoren vereinnahmt werden. Doch was kann Beethoven an Seume interessiert haben? Standen die Bücher nur zufällig in der Bibliothek oder hat der Komponist die Werke tatsächlich gelesen?

Radio drama, old-time radio and historic broadcasts from the Internet Archive (its Old Time Radio collection with the Old Time Radio Researchers' sets, WWII Era Audio Recordings, the Pacifica Radio Archives, the Radio Haiti Archive, German radio plays and listeners' uploads), Wikimedia Commons (with the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision's broadcasts) and the Library of Congress. Every episode plays from its archive, which this site does not copy; rights are as each archive states them. Nothing here is called public domain on this site's say-so. In the United States, sound recordings first fixed before 15 February 1972 have federal protection under the Music Modernization Act of 2018, for most until 2067 at the latest, so most American radio of the 1930s to the 1950s is not in the public domain there. Each set shows the licence, mark or statement its archive gives, and says whose it is. Horror, crime, war and westerns are for teenage and adult profiles, racist caricature for adults only, and children’s profiles hear what was made for children. More about these archives.
