JUDD, Assistant Manager l THE INSTRUMENT OF THE IMMORTALS QOMETIMES people who want a Steinway think it economi- cal to buy a cheaper piano in the beginning and wait for a Steinway. Usually this is because they do not realize with what ease Franz Liszt and convenience a Steinway can at his Steinway be bought. This is evidenced by the great number of people who come to exchange some other piano in partial payment for a Steinway, and say: "If I had only known about your terms I would have had a Steinway long ago!" You may purchase a new Steinway piano with a cash deposit of 10%, and the bal- ance will be extended over a period of two years* 'Prices: $875 and up Convenient terms. Used pianos taken in exchange.

Beach 6964 ; Symthony No. 6, in B minor, "Pathetic," Or. 74. Peter Tchaikovsky (Born at Votkinsk, in the government of Viatka, Russia, May 7, 1840; died at Petrograd, November 6, 1893.) This symphony was performed for the first time at Petrograd on October 28, 1893. The morning after Modest found Peter at the tea-table with the score of the symphony in his hand. He regretted that, inasmuch as he had to send it that day to the publisher, he had not yet given it a title. He wished something more than "No. 6," and did not like "Programme Symphony." "What does Programme Symphony mean when I will give it no programme?" Modest suggested "Tragic," but Peter said that would not do. "I left the room before he had come to a decision. Suddenly I thought, 'Pathetic.' I went back to the room,—I remember it as though it were yesterday,—and I said the word to Peter. 'Splendid, Modi, bravo, "Pathetic"!' and he wrote in my presence the title that will forever remain." Each hearer has his own thoughts when he is "reminded by the instruments." To some this symphony is as the life of man. The story is to them of man's illusions, desires, loves, struggles, vic- tories, and end. In the first movement they find with the despair of old age and the dread of death the recollection of early years with the transports and illusions of love, the remembrances of youth and all that is contained in that word. The second movement might bear as a motto the words of the Third Kalandar in the "Thousand Nights and a Night" : "And we sat down to drink, and some sang songs and others played the lute and psaltery and recorders and other instruments, and the bowl went merrily round. Hereupon such gladness possessed me that I forgot the sorrows of the world one and all, and said : 'This is indeed life. O sad that 'tis fleeting !' " The trio is as the sound of the clock that in Poe's wild tale compelled even the musicians of the orchestra to pause momentarily in their performance, to hearken to the sound "and thus the waltzers perforce ceased their evolutions; and there was a brief disconcert of the whole gay company; and, while the chimes of the clock yet rang, it was observed that the giddiest grew pale, and the more aged and sedate passed their hands over their brows as if in confused revery or meditation." In this trio Death beats the drum. With Tchaikovsky, here, as in the "Manfred" sym- phony, the drum is the most tragic of instruments. The persistent drum-beat in this trio is poignant in despair not untouched with irony. Man says : "Come now, I'll be gay" ; and he tries to sing and to dance, and to forget. His very gayety is labored, forced, con- strained, in an unnatural rhythm. And then the drum is heard, and there is wailing, there is angry protest, there is the conviction that the struggle against Fate is vain. Again there is the deliberate effort to be gay, but the drum once heard beats in the ears forever. 7 — — The third movement—the march-scherzo—is the excuse, the pre- text, for the final lamentation. The man triumphs, he knows all that there is in earthly fame. Success is hideous, as Victor Hugo said.

    1/390 2/390 PRÉFACE La Soirée Parisienne ! Comme ce mot évoque l’idée de bonnes heures passées dans le brouhaha des plaisirs de la grande ville, sous les feux éclatants du gaz ou les radiations de la lumière électrique, au mo- ment où il n’y a plus ni travailleurs, ni camions, ni charrettes, et où chacun, même parmi les plus occu- pés, n’a plus qu’une idée au monde – s’amuser – en disant avec une douce philosophie : «À demain les affaires sérieuses !» Ces queues de spectateurs qui ondulent devant la porte de nos théâtres ne sont-ils pas des fleuves d’oubli. Là, en effet, sur la scène, dans le monde idéal créé par nos littérateurs, nos musiciens et nos poètes, le ciel est toujours bleu, le soleil toujours étincelant, l’amoureux est toujours beau, et si l’ingénue est momentanément persécutée, il y a bien des chances pour qu’à minuit, son mariage s’accomplisse avec le prince charmant dans des lueurs d’apothéose. Nous avons donc pensé qu’il y aurait pour le lecteur un plaisir à retrouver la trace de ces bonnes soirées-là. Entendons-nous. Nous ne sommes pas des encyclopédistes, et il nous est fort indifférent que les chercheurs de l’avenir trouvent dans nos pages des notes historiques sur telle ou telle œuvre; nous ne 3/390 PRÉFACE 4/390 tenons pas à vous raconter à nouveau le sujet de telle comédie, tel opéra, tel ballet que vous connaissez déjà ou que vous avez peut-être oublié. Non, nous voulons simplement faire revivre dans votre cœur l’émotion que vous avez éprouvée, un certain soir, émotion que nous avons notée au passage en club- man impartial, sans préjugé et sans esprit de cote- rie.

Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), May 2014, 41 pp., 32 musical examples, bibliography, 62 titles. At the beginning of the twentieth century, the recognition of the contralto voice type had reached its apex in England. Throughout the remainder of the century, the number and popularity of recorded contraltos has decreased alongside the rise of the mezzo-soprano voice type. Due to the contralto’s decline and the lack of repertoire composed specifically for the voice, the definition of “contralto” remains somewhat ambiguous. The large contralto repertoire of English composer Ralph Vaughan Williams displays a unique sensitivity to the contralto, particularly with regards to vocal range, flexibility, tessitura, and sustainability. These works thus suggest a new perspective for the voice type. The scope of Vaughan Williams’s oeuvre examined includes each of his operatic roles for contralto and choral works featuring the contralto. Also examined will be the compositional techniques implemented within these pieces which demonstrate the strengths and weaknesses of the contralto voice.

It is a factor of vital importance in the education of the children, an unending source of inspiration and recreation for the growing gener- ation, a refining, cultivating influence touching every member of the family. It is the common speech that is understood by all, that appeals to everybody, that enlists the sympathies of man, woman and child, of high and low, of young and old, in every walk of life. The PIANO is the universal musical instrument of the home, the instrument that should be in every household. And the greatest among pianos is the STEINWAY, prized and cherished throughout the wide world by all lovers of good music.
