Johann Sioly
Johann Sioly (26 March 1843 – 8 April 1911) was an Austrian folksinger and Wienerlied composer. Life Born in Vienna, Sioly studied violin from 1853 to 1859 and was a pianist and composer in various Viennese folk singing societies from 1861. Influenced by the Viennese mentality, Sioly began early on to write and compose Viennese songs. The politically critical Sioly created over a thousand songs, which were included in the Heurigen canon (for example: ''Des hat ka Goethe g'schrieb'n''). From 1869 to 1873 he accompanied the well-known folk singer Antonie Mansfeld, with whom he also had a love affair. Before the planned wedding, however, she fell into mental confusion and died in an asylum. He also worked closely with the folk singer (1839-1912) and the folk singer and playwright Wilhelm Wiesberg (1850-1896) together. Although his melodies became very successful, he earned almost nothing from them and died impoverished. Sioly died in Vienna at age 68. He rests in a at the Wien ...

Wienerlied
The Wienerlied (German, literally: Viennese song, pl. Wienerlieder) or Weanaliad (Viennese German, viennese, pl. ''Weanaliada'') is a song genre which has its roots in Vienna, the capital of Austria. Traditional Viennese songs, known as ''Wienerlieder'' are centred on the theme of life in Vienna and are almost exclusively sung in Viennese German, Viennese (a local Bavarian language, Austro-Bavarian dialect). The Wienerlied is a unique musical and socio-cultural phenomenon, a psychograph of the Viennese way of life; a mix between idealism, joie de vivre and desperation. There are approximately 60,000 – 70,000 Wienerlieder, of which only a few hundred are still sung today. Characteristics A distinguishing feature of many Wienerlieder is their chromatic and harmonic variety. Frequent changes in tempo together with theatrical pauses throughout the songs bring a certain degree of excitement to both singer and listener. A typical Wienerlied is written according to a 2/4 or 3/4 ti ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
