Da Vinci the Musician To Be Lecture Topic
The secret of Mona Lisa's smug smile is out at last: Leonardo da Vinci was also a musician!
"Leonardo da Vinci As a Musician" is the topic of the first 1963-64 Humanities Series lecture to be given Tuesday, October 15, by Dr. Emanuel Winternitz, curator of musical collections at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The lecture, kicking off the 17th year of Humanities Series, will be at 8 p.m. in Fraser Theater and will be followed by an informal reception by the Faculty Club.
DURING HIS THREE-DAY visit to the KU campus, he will speak to classes in music and art history, will lecture on "The Variation Form in Music and the Visual Arts" at a music convocation at 2:30 p.m. Tuesday in Swarthout Recital Hall, and will speak in Topeka at a Menninger Foundation forum on Monday evening.
Dr. Winternitz will illustrate the lecture with slides and by playing the piano. His mother was an excellent pianist, and she taught him to play the pianoforte and violoncello; he later learned to play the organ.
Before coming to the United States in 1938, he taught philosophy of law at the University of Hamburg, lectured in philosophy and aesthetics in Vienna, was admitted to the bar in Vienna, and practiced as corporation lawyer for ten years. He became a U.S. citizen in 1943.
He has lectured on the history and theory of music, comparative history of the arts, and aesthetics at Harvard, Yale, and other universities. He was lecturer at Columbia University, professor of music at Yale, 1949-60, and now lectures at Rutgers University.
IN 1941, HE WAS PERIPATETIC professor for the Association of American Colleges, under auspices of the Carnegie Foundation. That year, he was appointed to the Metropolitan Museum of Art staff. He reorganized the Crosby Brown collection of musical instruments there, the largest collection in the western hemisphere.
Besides a book, "Musical Autographs from Monteverdi to Hindemith," he has published many articles on musical instruments, history of music, and musical symbolism as exploited by painters and other artists.
He was born in Vienna in 1898, was educated there, and served three years in World War I on Austria's frontier in Tyrol.
