(Excerpt from Die Musik des Griechischen Alterthumes: Nach...)
Excerpt from Die Musik des Griechischen Alterthumes: Nach den Alten Quellen Neu Bearbeitet Die alten griechischen Schriftsteller, voran der große Plato und noch früher die griechischen Dichter reden von ihrer Musik als der ersten und höchsten ihrer Künste. So konnte es nicht aus bleiben, daß in der Renaissance des classischen Alterthumes bei den christlich-modernen Völkern die Musik der Griechen schon früh em Lieblingsgegenstand wissenschaftlicher Forschungen wurde. Die oben angedeutete Eigenartigkeit der griechischen Musik im Verhältniß zur christlich-modernen und die hierdurch sich ergebende Schwierigkeit in der Bewältigung des Gegenstandes war ein Grund mehr, die Forscher zu um so größerer, immer von neuem wiederholter Arbeit zu reizen. In die Zeit, welcher die griechischen Musikautoren noch nicht anders als aus den alten Handschriften zugänglich waren, gehört der Schweizer Heinrich Loriti, nach seinem Heimathscanton Glarus unter dem Namen Glareanus bekannt, der unter der Regierung Kaiser Maximilian's als einer der namhaften Humanisten zu Cöln, Basel, Pavia lebte und 1563 zu Basel starb. Ein Kenner zugleich der alten Sprachen, der Mathematik und Musik, versuchte er die christ lichen Kirchentöne auf die Tonarten der Griechen zurückzuführen. Sein Dodecachordon, in welchem er diese seine Ansicht niederlegte, stand seiner Zeit in hohem Ansehen und wird von solchen, denen die späteren Arbeiten über die Musik der Alten nicht sonderlich bekannt sind, auch heute wohl noch als Autorität angeführt.

(Rudolf Westphal (1826?92) originally studied theology at ...)
Rudolf Westphal (1826?92) originally studied theology at the University of Marburg before turning to classical philology and comparative linguistics. He learnt Sanskrit and Arabic and took a keen interest in Indo-European languages and Semitic grammar. In the late 1850s and early 1860s he joined his friend and fellow philologist August Rossbach (1823-98) at the University of Breslau (Wroc?aw). This multi-volume work on ancient Greek metre and music resulted from their collaboration. Reissued here is the revised third edition published in four parts between 1885 and 1889. Volume 1 (1885) is devoted to rhythm while Volume 2 (1886) looks at melody and harmony. Part 1 of Volume 3 (1887) explores prosody and the distinction drawn by the philosopher Aristoxenus between singing and speaking, while Part 2 (1889) considers the historical development of different metres and analyses a number of lyrical and choral compositions in great detail.

(Excerpt from Die Fragmente und die Lehrsätze der Griechis...)
Excerpt from Die Fragmente und die Lehrsätze der Griechischen Rhythmiker Diese Berichte der Alten nun sind uns in einer höchst fragmentarischen und eben deshalb schwer verständlichen Fassung überliefert.. Soviel davon erhalten ist, habe ich in dieser Schrift zusammengestellt und glaube.damit aller dings füi' die Fundamentaltheorien unsrer metrischen Wis senschaft einen festen Kanon gegeben zu haben. Was dem selben in unsern bisherigen metrischen Theorien widerspricht, ist unrichtig und wir dürfen es uns nicht verdriessen lassen, umzulernen. Man wird sich überzeugen, dass die rhyth mischen Sätze der Alten sich weithin über alle metrische Verhältnisse erstrecken und dass die in diesem Buche aus den Alten zum ersten Male mitgetheilten Angaben weit mehr in die praktische Metrik eingreifen, als dies bei den in der ersten Bearbeitung der griechischen Rhythmik gegebenen Resultaten der Fall war.

(Excerpt from Allgemeine Theorie der Griechischen Metrik ...)
Excerpt from Allgemeine Theorie der Griechischen Metrik Schon bei ihrem ersten Erscheinen folgte die rossbach-west phalsche Metrik der Griechen dem Grundsatze, der antiken Tradition, wo es anging, in allen Stücken zu folgen. Hierdurch musste sie sich von den metrischen Lehrgebäuden, welche von Gottfried Hermann und von August Boeckh aufgestellt waren, merklich unterscheiden. G. Hermann verwarf die metfische Theorie der Alten ganz und gar und machte, wie er erklärte, die philosophischen Kategorien Kante für die Theorie der Metrik zu den seinigen. Im übrigen glaubte er, dass, wenn uns ein glücklicher Zufall die vollständige Schrift des alten Aristoxenus über die griechische Rhythmik wieder zuführen würde, woran aber nicht zu denken sei, dass sich dann ein klareres Licht über die metrischen Formen der alten Dichter verbreiten würde. Der antike Metriker Hephaestion, ein Alexandrinischer Grammatiker aus der Zeit Marc Aurels, war für Hermann kaum gut genug, um der der modernen Philologie eine Nomenclatur der griechischen Verse liefern zu können. Verstanden habe Hephaestion von der wirklichen Bedeutung dieser metrischen Termini technici äusserst wenig, die meisten habe er in verkehrter Weise angewandt. Hermann wusste wohl, dass der Rhythmus die Grundlage des Metrums ist, und dass in Hephaesfions metrischem Encheiridion der griechische Rhythmus unbeachtet bleibt. Aus den Kautschen Kategorien liess sich freilich der griechische Rhythmus noch weniger auffinden. Für G. Hermanns Lehrgebäude der Metrik im Einzelnen blieben Kante Kategorien ohne Bedeutung. Seine rhythmische Grundlage schöpfte Hermann aus Bentleys schediasma, welches dieser seiner terenz-ausgabe hinzu gefügt hatte. Wie unklar die Vorstellungen sind, welche dem grossen Philologen Gottfried Hermann über den Rhythmus der Verse in den lyrischen und dramatischen Gedichten der Griechen zu Gebote' standen, ist im ersten Bande dieser dritten Auflage S. 5 nicht unbemerkt gelassen.

(Excerpt from Allgemeine Griechische Metrik Die vorliegen...)
Excerpt from Allgemeine Griechische Metrik Die vorliegende Fundamentallehre der griechischen Me trik nimmt darin mit den metrischen Theorieen G. Hermanns und Boeckhs einen gemeinsamen Ausgangspunkt, dass sie den Rhythmus als das den gesamten metrischen Erschei nungen zu Grunde liegende Princip hinstellt. Nicht nur Boeckh, sondern auch Hermann vermag sich eine wirklich wissenschaftliche Metrik nicht anders zu denken, als dass dieselbe zugleich eine rhythmische Formenlehre sei. Aber wo her hat man die in der poetischen Sprache sich verkorpernden rhythmischen Formen und Verhaltnisse, die sich ja in den antiken Dichterwerken keineswegs von selber dem Auge des Forschers darbieten, zu'entnehmen?

(Excerpt from Vergleichende Grammatik der Indogermanischen...)
Excerpt from Vergleichende Grammatik der Indogermanischen Sprachen Bis in das zweite Jahrzehnt unseres Jahrhunderts hatte man in der Sprachbctrachtung im Vergleiche zu der Stellung, welche Griechen und Romer in ihr eingenommen hatten, nur geringe Fortschritte gemacht. Die historischen Grammatiken besonders waren bloss neue Auflagen der alten und artes. Der Umfang der Sprachkenntnisse, zwar grosser als bei den Alten, war doch immer nur gering. Man kannte die beiden classischeu Sprachen; die romanischen galten als nicht bc-achtenswerthe Anhangsel der lateinischen. Auf die lebenden Volkssprachen sah man uberhaupt mit derselben Geringschatzung herab, wie nur je ein antiker Verfasser einer ars oder auf die oder consuetudo, ja sogar auf die Barbarcu-sprache herabseken mochte. - Den classischen Sprachen stellte man die orientalischen gegenuber. Unter letzteren verstand man aber gewohnlich nur die semitischen und das mit semitischen Elemcnteu gemischte Neu-Persische. Man kannte oder beachtete keine der auderen asiatischen Sprachen. Ueber die Sprachen der Afrikaner und Amerikaner urtheilte man wie Herodot uber die Sprachen der Troglodyten. Aber auf jener Sonderung der europaischen und orientalischen Sprachen, welche einen theologischen Hintergrund in dem neuen und alten Testamente hatte, war ein Anfang zu einer Eiutheilung gegeben.
