He later described the &ldquo;expulsion&rdquo; to which he saw himself exposed as &ldquo;perhaps one of the first Jews in central Europe&rdquo; in the popular lakeside resort near Salzburg (euphemistically titled &ldquo;a nice experience in the Salzkammergut&rdquo; &ndash; letter to Stephan S. Wise, 12 May 1934) &ndash; doubtless forming a peripety in his biography and Jewish self-concept.<\/p>\n\nConfrontations with antisemitism can be traced through about six decades in Sch&ouml;nberg&rsquo;s biography, clinging to individual and collective incidents and ultimately triggering theoretical and aesthetic reflection in his writings on &ldquo;Jewish Affairs&rdquo; as well as the confessional works Moses und Aron (scenic oratorio, 1923\/28-37), Der biblische Weg (Zionist spoken drama, 1926-27) and A Survivor from Warsaw (cantata, 1947). &nbsp;<\/p>\n\nAfter emigrating to the USA in October 1933, Sch&ouml;nberg called the period after the &ldquo;Mattsee Incident&rdquo; the time of his spiritual return to Judaism (which did officially take place in Paris in July 1933). However, he had never entirely forsaken his Jewish roots before that, always understanding himself as a Jew. The Mattsee events left deep traces in his biography, also becoming a textbook case of so-called &ldquo;summer retreat antisemitism.&rdquo; Here, Mattsee can represent about 70 places in Austria which promoted themselves in the early 1920s with the label of summer retreats &ldquo;free of Jews.&rdquo; &nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n\nFrom a distance of 100 years, the Arnold Sch&ouml;nberg Center is devoting an online exhibition to the chronology of early summer 1921, introducing a representative object each day. The documentation begins on 2 June with Sch&ouml;nberg&rsquo;s arrival in Mattsee and ends on 26 July. That was the day on which he reported a landmark compositional innovation to his dear friend Alma Mahler: &ldquo;The German Aryans who persecuted me in Mattsee will be thankful for this new one (especially this one), in that they will even be esteemed abroad for 100 years, because they belong to the state which has now secured hegemony in the sphere of music.&rdquo; A piano piece conceived on 24 July 1921 contextualizes the final point of the exhibition, at the same time representing the 100th anniversary of the first compositional fixation of the 12-tone method.<\/p>\n\nCurator:<\/strong> Therese Muxeneder&nbsp; \nDigital realization: <\/strong>Christoph Edtmayr<\/p>\n\nReference:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sn.at\/wiki\/Wo_Dollfu%C3%9F_baden_ging\" target=\"_blank\">Wo Dollfu&szlig; baden ging.

It was built on the Wartstein, a prime location. Sch&ouml;nberg&rsquo;s brother Heinrich, who was an ensemble member at the New German Theater in Prague, spent many summer vacations in the villa (now at Burghard-Breitner-Weg 1). He was the son-in-law of Max Ott, who held the office of mayor of Salzburg from 1912 to 1919 and was the vice-governor of Salzburg Province from 1918.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\nAt the instigation of Sch&ouml;nberg&rsquo;s sister-in-law Berta, a domicile was rented for the composer and his family at Vorderwartstein (Mattsee No. 56, now Burghard-Breitner-Weg 16), near the villa. Called the &ldquo;Zimmerhansl&rdquo; House, it was described as a &ldquo;very pleasant lodging&rdquo; with a garden in a list of dwellings from the Mattsee Seasonal Association.<\/p>\n\nBecause of his brother Heinrich&rsquo;s repeated recommendation of the place, no direct correspondence with the community or in-depth study of literature relevant to the area was necessary; thus, Sch&ouml;nberg missed a crucial fact which would undoubtedly have decided him against Mattsee as a summer retreat destination: the firm rejection of Jews as vacationers.<\/p>\n\nCf.

The province of Tyrol had already announced its approval by a predominant majority of the Anschluss to Germany, to avert economic collapse, social impoverishment and imminent starvation with united strength &ndash; horror scenarios which spread as consequences of condemnation of the Paris treaties. &nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n\nThe unofficial vote was also successful for its initiators in the Province of Salzburg; three days before Sch&ouml;nberg arrived in Mattsee, the Salzburger Volksblatt<\/em> bore the headline &ldquo;Heil Salzburg! Salzburg wants the Anschluss!&rdquo; The city celebrated the election result with a large number of student fraternities, gymnastics clubs and choral societies, representatives of Pan-German organizations and torchbearers, all chanting the German national anthem. Even though 90% of the votes were for the Anschluss, the referendum had de facto no effect, especially since the aforementioned postwar agreements precluded practical consequences. With its German-national propaganda, the Christian Socialists significantly influenced the majority of the rustic populace, while they accused their political opponents (the Social Democrats) of lies and contortion. The sympathetic cliques in Mattsee benefitted from a strong presence of Christian-Social forces, which strengthened their sphere of influence not least from among the clergy.<\/p>\n\nCf.

The other day, the local municipal administration called upon him to produce documents proving that he was not a Jew. If he were, he would have to leave Mattsee immediately since, in accordance with a community resolution, Jews were not allowed to sojourn there. Although Sch&ouml;nberg was able to prove that he was a Protestant, he resolved to leave Mattsee. &ndash; It is hardly surprising, then, that the artist preferred to avoid further contentions with the municipal committees; still, the question remains as to whether federal laws can be so blithely suspended, precisely in Salzburgian Mattsee.&rdquo;<\/p>\n\nSch&ouml;nberg&rsquo;s decision to devote himself to Jewish propaganda due to his recent experiences in the Salzkammergut was possibly prompted by a notice in the Neue Freie Presse which appeared directly below the report circulating in his group about his summer misadventure in Mattsee. The editors picked up on news from Berlin about a talk Albert Einstein gave at a Zionist function in the Bl&uuml;thner-Saal in which he spoke of an initial incident regarding his commitment to the constitution of Palestine. On a journey to America, which served the Zionist movement&rsquo;s propaganda, he had &ldquo;seen for the first time in my life Jewish people&rdquo; and &ldquo;Jewish masses with undaunted national feelings.&rdquo; &ldquo;From his American experiences Einstein derived the absolute necessity for the Jews to become a people again.&rdquo; Einstein had travelled to America in April 1921 together with Chaim Weizmann, the newly elected president of the World Zionist Organization and later President of Israel, and Menachem Ussishkin, the chairman of the Jewish Agency and, from 1922, chairman of the Jewish National Fund, to recruit supporters for the Zionist movement. \nEinstein&rsquo;s celebrity greatly increased the popular and media interest in the appearances of the Zionist leaders Weizmann and Ussishkin. Many thousands of Jews welcomed the three members of the Zionist delegation upon their arrival in New York&rsquo;s harbor. The physicist explained to the press agents that his main concern was to give material and moral support in the establishment of a Hebrew University in Jerusalem.<\/p>\n\nIn 1920 he espoused the rights of East European Jews in an article in the Berliner Tageblatt<\/em>; they were being threatened with deportation or &ldquo;confinement in concentration camp[s]&rdquo; by the Berlin Housing Office due to the great housing shortage (Jew-Baiting in Germany, in Wiener Morgenzeitung<\/em> 2\/347, 9 January 1920, p.1, here p. 2). By the time of this open denunciation of political wrongs at the latest, he gravitated into the center of racist hostility; in February 1920, agitations by the German National Student Body were reported, which had disrupted Einstein&rsquo;s lectures at Berlin University with antisemitic slogans. In August 1920, after persistent discreditations, he even became the victim of public attacks by right-wing radical students, who &ldquo;surrounded him and shouted at him, &lsquo;Down with this Jew! Jewish pig! Your throat should be cut!&rsquo;&rdquo; (The Baiting of the Inventor of the Theory of Relativity, in Tages-Post<\/em> 56\/198, 28 August 1920, p. 7). The attacks were the result of a campaign against Einstein initiated by Nobel prizewinner Philipp Lenard, who dismissed the general theory of relativity as &ldquo;Jewish fraud.&rdquo;<\/p>\n\nCf.

Already in previous years, it took energetic work to ward off the inrush of Jews; at the end of the season, the summer vacationers would post their thanks and acknowledgement publicly on the Abbey Square for remaining true to their principles and showing Jews the door.<\/p>\n\nThis year, the situation was somewhat different; through the agency of the son-in-law of our greater German provincial vice-governor Ott, the composer Sch&ouml;nberg, a Jew from Prague, was smuggled into Mattsee. And as we know, where there are pigeons, other pigeons will flock to join them; suddenly, various tribesmen showed up in Jew-free Mattsee. But the local committee restored order and, in its last meeting, resolved to publish this proclamation: \n&nbsp;&ldquo;In its meeting on 19 June, the local committee unanimously expressed its outrage that some lessors of summer lodgings in Mattsee rented them to Jews, thereby severely damaging Mattsee&rsquo;s well-known reputation as a summer retreat free of Jews. Furthermore, the committee unanimously resolved in the same meeting to decree a proclamation to the lessors of summer lodgings in Mattsee, containing the &lsquo;request to continue to keep the Mattsee locality free of Jews. The local committee of Mattsee urgently requests the populace not to rent lodgings to any Jew, so the locality will not become judaized and the German-Aryan populace will be protected from chicanery.&rdquo; &nbsp;&nbsp; \nThereupon the Mattsee summer vacationers &ndash; who had rather suffered under the arrogance of the Jews who had already immigrated &ndash; had a proclamation printed in which they thanked the community for the protection, expressing the hope that lovely Mattsee will continue to be energetically protected from becoming judaized. &nbsp;&nbsp; \nIt is interesting that the son [Franz Ott] of the greater German provincial vice-governor [Max] Ott, likewise a staunch &ldquo;Heil!&rdquo;- shouter, spoke up volubly for the Jews. Their insulted answer to the community&rsquo;s notice was silence - -.&rdquo;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\nCf.

Except for one mention in a letter from spring 1923, there is no known evidence yet which could shed light on his appreciation of Einstein. His scientific research brought him great media attention, as well as his engagement for the rights of Jews, which earned him acclaim &ndash; and also antisemitic resentment from inside and outside academic circles. \nMentions of Einstein were legion in the Austrian media at that time. Reports of his scientific core competence were offset by those recounting his involvement in Jewish interests: in the Society for Founding and Maintaining an Academy for Judaism&rsquo;s Science, in the Committee to set up a university library in Palestine, in promoting a medical faculty at a future university in Jerusalem. By summer 1921 at the latest, Sch&ouml;nberg, the executor of progress in music, must have had to recognize a parallel phenomenon uniting genius and Judaism in Einstein, who enjoyed cult status in the global public since proclaiming the general theory of relativity. Max Graf, chronicler of cultural Vienna, took up that constellation later on, asserting that in the appreciation of the contemporaries, Einstein, Sch&ouml;nberg and Freud were among &ldquo;the most powerful energies in this world,&rdquo; due to their achievements (Max Graf, Die Ehrung Sigmund Freuds, in Der Morgen. Wiener Montagblatt <\/em>21\/35, 1 September 1930, p. 7).<\/p>\n\nCf.

A certain personality from Vienna, identified by name, is reproached in the letter for grandstanding as dictator of Mattsee, as it were, arrogating to himself control of renting the summer lodgings without consideration for the seasonal association and the majority of the local populace, excluding summer guests whose noses he does not like and their children from taking part in the regattas, and so on. The sender points out that Mattsee is the seat of a diocesan chapter which never said a word of confessional intolerance; he explains that this sedition was brought into the quiet village from outside and lastly mentions that there is even less reason for this as unwelcome elements, parasites of wartime and post-wartime, have never found their way to Mattsee.<\/p>\n\nCf.

Berta Sch&ouml;nberg could not have been unaware of this any more than her husband Heinrich, the composer&rsquo;s brother, who traditionally stayed in Mattsee in July. Presumably, Heinrich, a Jew who had converted to Protestantism, simply ignored the community&rsquo;s antisemitic racial attitude.<\/p>\n\nMaintaining the objective of keeping Mattsee &ldquo;free from Jews&rdquo; continued in the following seasons into the early 1930s, the phrase a community tourism slogan; the Salzburger Chronik reported on 1 August 1922 that &ldquo;again this year, the beautiful health resort succeeded in remaining free of Jews.&rdquo;<\/p>\n\nCf.

Some years later, I had a nice adventure in the Salzkammergut, near Salzburg; I was perhaps one of the first Jews in Europe who was obliged to experience an expulsion. \n&ldquo;Those two experiences shook me awake and made me recognize the madness of internationalism (which, however, had always been alien to me), like the impossibility of all theories proceeding from liberalism: pacifism, democracy (against which I had turned long ago) and particularly the untenability of attempts at assimilation. From there, it was easy for me to define assimilation as undesirable and to press forward to healthy &ndash; and severe - Jewish nationalism based on our national and religious belief in our chosenness. I made the decision at that time to devote myself to Jewish propaganda.&rdquo;<\/p>\n\nCf.

Aware of this requisite, he wrote a letter of acknowledgement to Alma Mahler in which he ideologically elevated the new method, and also positioned his achievement in relation to his expulsion from Mattsee: &ldquo;My dear, honored friend, just a quick sign of life and to thank you for your endearing letter. Quickly: since, after paying a tribute of money (a lot of money) to my fellow Mattsee people &ndash; eternally zeitgeist-ill, and what is more, lost worktime (3 weeks!), I have begun to work again.

Some 1921 newspapers produced an eloquent testimony for the fight to secure hegemony in the political, military, technical, economic, cultural and athletic areas &ndash; even fashion and craftsmanship were targets of the omnipresent hegemonic aspirations. The struggle for hegemony or primacy also included racial issues; on 23 May 1921, an editor of Pester Lloyd<\/em> defined &ldquo;laying the hegemony of the Christian race without bargaining on a secure foundation for all eternity&rdquo; as a solidary racial duty.<\/p>\n\nCf.
