Notes for Salomon Siegfried Lipiner
{geni:occupation} Dr. k.k. Bibliothekars des Reichsrates, k.k. Regierungsrates
{geni:about_me} [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siegfried_Lipiner Wikipedia] -- '''Siegfried Lipiner''' an Austrian writer and poet whose works made an impression on ''Richard Wagner'' and ''Friedrich Nietzsche'', but who publishednothing after 1880 and lived out his life as Librarian of Parliament in Vienna. A poet and dramatist of highly individual character, he is today remembered in German-speaking literary circles mainly for his translations of the Polish poet ''Adam Mickiewicz''; he is also known to music history as having been a close friend of [http://www.geni.com/people/Gustav-Mahler/6000000007265312908 '''Gustav Mahler'''].
'''Lipiner''' was born in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaros%C5%82aw Jarosław] (Jaroslau), Galacia, Poland. A prodigious talent, he produced a well-regarded treatment of 'Prometheus Unbound' at the age of seventeen, He attended the University of Leipzig as a student of philosophy, literature and natural science; one of his teachers was Gustav Fechner. By his early twenties, he had produced an important work on the philosophy of Arthur Schopenhauer, and become a personal acquaintance of Nietzsche — who had called him 'a veritable genius'.
'''Lipiner''' was 24 when he met the 20-year-old '''Mahler''', and his views on various subjects (including the 'redemptive' qualities of artistic creation) came to influence the young composer to a considerable extent. '''Lipiner''' features in the Recollections of Gustav Mahler assembled by ''Natalie Bauer-Lechner'' — who seems also to have kept a similar record of his actions and conversations, though this is now lost.
As his creativity waned, '''Lipiner'''s reputation seems to have depended more and more upon his personal fascination as a 'bon viveur' and skilled improviser of the philosophical rhapsodies with which he would entertain his circle of illustrious acquaintances in Vienna. '''Mahler'''s marriage to ''Alma '''Schindler''''' in 1902 was followed by the composer's breaking with '''Lipiner''' for several years: the man whom ''Friedrich Eckstein'' described as 'that shy, melancholy, sensitive poet' and whom '''Mahler''' usually addressed as '''dearest Siegfried''' was for ''Alma'' the object of a venomous dislike: "a bogus Goethe in his writing and a haggling Jew in his talk". By the endof '''Mahler'''s life, however, the two men had resumed their friendship. '''Lipiner''' died in Vienna a few months after '''Mahler'''s death.
