Career
From 1879 to 1881, Mandyczewski was the conductor of the
The decade from 1887 to 1897 saw the appearance of Mandyczewski's work on the Schubert Gesamtausgabe. His name is particularly associated with the ten volumes of songs, which he edited meticulously, sometimes printing as many as three or four variants of individual songs; in recognition of his editorship he was awarded an honorary doctorate from the
In 1897 he received an Honorary Doctorate from the University of Leipzig.
Mandyczewski edited the complete edition of Franz Schubert's works, began a complete edition of Joseph Haydn's and, together with his pupil Hans Gál, edited Brahms's complete works.
For many years in the early part of the 20th century he was the Viennese correspondent to the Musical Times. He was joint editor of the Brahms Gesamtausgabe with Hans Gál, and organized the Schubert exhibition of 1922 and the International Schubert Congress (1928); this last function greatly overtaxed his strength, and he died before the proceedings of the congress were published.
Mandyczewski composed music to the words of poets such as Taras Shevchenko, Yuriy Fedkovych, Vasile Alecsandri, Mihai Eminescu, and Heinrich Heine. He arranged compositions based on many Ukrainian, Romanian, German, and Hungarian folk songs.
A Romanian citizen after 1918, he chose to remain in Vienna. Nonetheless, he continued to engage in the Romanian cultural and musical life, working with local artists and often visiting the country. Mandyczewski died in Sulz near Vienna, Austria on 13 August 1929.
