„Arme Mariette Duplessis, wenn ich an sie denke, erklingt in meinem Herzen ein geheimnisvoller Akkord aus einer antiken Elegie."

In stillen Gedenken verharrend wage ich es nicht, diesem Schönsten aller Nachrufe nur noch einen Ton hinzuzufügen.

Allen weiteren Freunden Liszts sei es jedoch gestattet, seine Gedanken weiterzuführen und uns den

geheimnisvoller Akkord aus einer antiken Elegie

in seiner vollen, tiefen, bitter-süßen, jedoch nicht larmoyanten Wehmütigkeit zu offenbaren.

Kein Partykracher, Stimmungsschlager oder eine der unzähligen passenden Assoziationen aus dem Opernbereich. Ein melancholischer Klassiker, insbesondere durch Frank Sinatra weltberühmt und von einer Vielzahl von Interpreten aus dem Jazz- und Showbereich interpretiert, eines meiner Lieblingslieder. Hier eine schöne Version ohne Text, ideal als Klaviermusik für die nächtlichen Stunden in einem gehobenen bordellartigen Betrieb mit Schanklizenz;)

die grausame Geschichte von Hopp-Frosch..ja ja..die könnte man hier erwähnen ( auch wenn ich zu spät sein sollte ). Sie handelt von Rache...

Zur Geschichte: ( Auf engl. heißt sie "Hop-Frog" , in meinem Buch nat. "Hopp-Frosch":

Zitat aus Tube:

"Hop-Frog" is an 1849 short story by Edgar Allan Poe. The title character, a dwarf taken from his homeland, becomes the jester of a king particularly fond of practical jokes. Taking revenge on the king and his cabinet for striking his best friend Trippetta (a beautiful and well-proportioned fellow dwarf), he dresses them as orangutans for a masquerade. In front of the king's guests, Hop-Frog murders them all by setting their costumes on fire before escaping with Trippetta.

Now watch Hop-Frog and Trippetta bump and grind to some Rock-and-Roll by David Bowie and Lou Reed.

Hop-Frog, being both dwarf and a cripple, is the much-abused "fool" of the king. This king has an insatiable sense of humor, living only for joking. Both Hop-Frog and Trippetta have been stolen from their homeland and essentially function as slaves. Because of his physical deformity, which prevents him from walking upright, the King nicknames him "Hop-Frog".

Hop-Frog reacts severely to alcohol, and though the king knows this, he forces Hop-Frog to consume several goblets full. Trippetta begs the king to stop and, in front of seven members of his cabinet council, he strikes her and throws another goblet of wine into her face. The powerful men laugh at the expense of their two servants and ask Hop-Frog (who has very suddenly sobered up and become cheerful) for advice on an upcoming masquerade. He suggests some very realistic costumes for the men: a group of orangutans chained together. The men love the idea of scaring their guests and agree to wear tight-fitting shirts and pants saturated with tar and covered with flax. In full costume, the men are then chained together and led into the "grand saloon" of masqueraders just after midnight.

As predicted, the guests are shocked and many believe the men to be real beasts of some kind. Many rush for the doors to escape, but the King has insisted the doors be locked; the keys are left with Hop-Frog. Amidst the chaos, Hop-Frog attaches a chain from the ceiling to the chain linked around the men in costume. The chain then pulls them up via pulley (presumably by Trippetta) far above the crowd. Hop-Frog puts on a spectacle so that the guests presume "the whole matter as a well-contrived pleasantry." He claims he can identify the culprits by looking at them up close. He climbs up to their level, and holds a torch close to the men's faces. They quickly catch fire: In less than half a minute the eight men are blazing fiercely, amid the shrieks of the crowd below who gaze at them horror-stricken and unable to give them assistance. Finally, before escaping through a sky-light with Trippetta to their home country.

Critical analysis has suggested that Poe wrote the story as a form of literary revenge against a woman named Elizabeth F. Ellet and her circle. The story can be categorized as one of Poe's revenge tales, along with "The Cask of Amontillado". Just as in that story, the murderer seems to get away without punishment for his deeds. While the victim in "The Cask of Amontillado" wears motley, in "Hop-Frog," the murderer is wearing it.

The story uses the grating of Hop-Frog's teeth as a symbolic element, just before he comes up with his plan for revenge and again just after executing it. Poe often used teeth as a sign of mortality, as in lips writhing about the teeth of the mesmerized man in "The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar" and in the obsession over teeth in "Berenice".

Just as "The Cask of Amontillado" represents Poe's attempt at literary revenge on a personal enemy, "Hop-Frog" may have had similar motivations. As Poe had been pursuing relationships with Sarah Helen Whitman and Nancy Richmond (either romantic or platonic is uncertain), members of the New York City literary circle spread gossip and incited scandal about alleged improprieties. At the center of it was a woman named Elizabeth Ellet, whose affections Poe had previously scorned. Ellet may be represented by the king himself, his seven councilors representing some friends in her circle.

The tale, written toward the end of Poe's life, was somewhat autobiographical in other ways. The jester Hop-Frog, like Poe, was "kidnapped from home and presented to the king" (his wealthy foster father John Allan), "bearing a name not given in baptism but 'conferred upon him'... and susceptible to wine... when insulted and forced to drink becomes insane with rage". Like Hop-Frog, Poe was bothered by those who urged him to drink, despite a single glass of wine making him drunk.

Poe may also have based the story on an historical event, the Bal des Ardents, at the court of Charles VI of France in January 1393. At the suggestion of a Norman squire, the king and five others dress as satyrs in highly flammable costumes made with pitch and flax. Four of the men died in the fire; Charles was saved.
