Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

The rather eclectic collection of materials from this period includes original sheet music of the "German Submarine Song" sung by German navy soldiers heading towards England alongside a poster for a concert in the Tonhalle in Munich, where music by composers Felix Mendelssohn and Richard Wagner was performed in the same evening. In 1850, three years after Mendelssohn's death, Wagner published his famous essay Das Judentum in der Musik(Judaism in Music), where he attacked the music of Felix Mendelssohn and other German-Jewish composers. A performance of Wagner's music alongside Mendelssohn's stands out in light of the explicit anti-Semitism of Wagner and his attack on Mendelssohn. Such a program would not appear twenty years later. While Wagner and his music were venerated by Hitler, Mendelssohn's music was banned in Nazi Germany and his monument in front of the Gewandhaus in Leipzig was removed and destroyed by the Nazis in 1936 in an attempt to erase Mendelssohn's contribution from the history of German art music.
