Music in Art:
Iconography as a Source for
Music History
The Ninth Conference of
the Research Center for Music Iconography, CUNY,
commemorating
the 20th anniversary of death of the Austrian/American
musicologist
Emanuel
Winternitz (1898-1983)
co-sponsored by the
Department of Musical
Instruments of The Metropolitan Museum of Art
and
Austrian
Cultural Forum New York
New York,
5–8 November
2003
The conference will commemorate
Emanuel Winternitz
(1898–1983), the Honorary President of the Répertoire International
de Iconographie Musicale, long-time curator of the Department of
Musical Instruments at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and co-director
of the Research Center for Music Iconography. Winternitz focused his
research on musical instruments, their decorations, their function in
various stylistic periods, and their symbolism in iconography. The
year 2003 will mark the 60th anniversary of the first season of
Winternitz’s’ innovative series of concerts for members of The
Metropolitan Museum of Art, featuring programs of early
music played on original instruments, and the 20th anniversary of his
death.
