Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), May 2007, 38 pp., 25 examples, bibliography, 26 titles. This lecture recital seeks to prove that Sergei Taneyev’s only piano concerto is a valuable addition to the piano concerto repertoire for historical and theoretical examination. Taneyev’s biographical background proves he was one of the major figures in Russian musical life during the late nineteenth century. For one who had such an important role in music history, it is an unfortunate that his music has not been popular. Through letters to contemporary composers and friends, Taneyev’s master teacher Tchaikovsky revealed why his music and piano concerto were not as popular as they should have been. This lecture recital examines Taneyev’s compositional style and illustrates his influence in the works of his famous student Sergei Rachmaninoff through examples from Taneyev’s Piano Concerto in E-flat Major and Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No.

Critical Study of Two Piano Transcriptions by August Stradal and the Transcriptions’ Sources: Alterations to the Score Based on Historical Evidence and Artistic Judgment. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), May 2015, 35 pp., 15 musical examples, bibliography, 6 titles. The fact that a number of pianists of the past two centuries adapted, embellished, and rearranged piano works for performance, be these original works or transcriptions, has been well documented throughout history. This thought, in addition to the fact that Stradal’s scores needed revision, encouraged me to make alterations to Stradal’s transcriptions and served as a strong incentive to write the current study. In it, I will comment on the alterations performed to segments of Stradal’s piano transcriptions of Wagner’s Schluβ der letzten Aufzuges (End of the last Act) from Siegfried and Trauermusik aus dem letzten Aufzug (Siegfried’s Funeral March) from Götterdämmerung. These changes have the purpose of reflecting in the piano as closely as possible the sonorous reality of the transcriptions’ operatic sources and, by doing so, making Stradal’s arrangements more effective for performance.

  • Piano Variations by Liszt, Lutoslawski, Brahms, and Rachmaninoff on a Theme by Paganini
    RICE UNIVERSITY Piano Variations by Liszt, Lutoslawski, Brahms, and Rachmaninoff on a Theme by Paganini by Wenli Zhou A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE Doctor of Musical Arts ca, Professor of Art History HOUSTON, TEXAS JANUARY 2012 ABSTRACT Piano Variations by Liszt, Lutoslawski, Brahms, and Rachmaninoff on a Theme by Paganini by Wenli Zhou Theme and Variations is arguably one of the oldest musical forms in music history. Composers have used certain themes repeatedly as thematic sources for variations. Among them, Paganini's Caprice No. 24 in A minor is certainly the best known, since the theme has inspired many composers for variations of their own. The purpose of this study is to analyze different sets of Variations on Paganini' s theme by Franz Liszt, Witold Lutoslawbski, Johannes Brahms, and Sergei Rachmaninoff, in order to examine, identify, and trace how far an original idea can be stretched by using different variations techniques and their applications. Liszt transcribed Paganini' s 24th Caprice for the piano, adding a multi-layered sound to the original Caprice. His treatment of the Paganini theme is the most literal. Lutoslawski's Paganini Variations is written for duo piano. This piece builds on Liszt's transcription technique: it stays close to the original Paganini Caprice, but at the same time overlays many 20th century compositional devices such as atonality and complex rhythmic devices. Lutoslawski carries Liszt one step further away from Paganini's original theme. In his Variations on a Theme ofPaganini, op. 35, Brahms keeps the clear structure and strong harmonic progression of the original theme, but carries his invention further away from the source than Liszt and Lutoslawski.

  • A Stylistic and Analytical Study of the Key for Trumpet and Piano by James Wintle
    A STYLISTIC AND ANALYTICAL STUDY OF THE KEY FOR TRUMPET AND PIANO BY JAMES WINTLE Young Mi Seo, B.M., M.M. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2008 APPROVED: Joseph Banowetz, Major Professor Elvia Puccinelli, Minor Professor Adam Wodnicki, Committee Member Jesse Eschbach, Chair of the Division of Keyboard Studies Graham Phipps, Director of Graduate Studies of the College of Music James C. Scott, Dean of the College of Music Sandra L. Terrell, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Seo, Young Mi. A Stylistic and Analytical Study of The Key for Trumpet and Piano by James Wintle. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), August 2008, 63 pp., 4 tables, 46 musical examples, bibliography, 64 titles. James Wintle (b.1942) is one of America’s most successful living composers. Wintle and his compositions have attracted the attention of many prominent performers and scholars over the last three decades. The Key for trumpet and piano was composed in 1988 for Chris Gekker, an outstanding trumpet player. The Key consists of four movements: a fast movement in free form, a slow lyrical movement in song form (ABA’), a dance-like movement influenced by ragtime, and a fourth movement with a slow introduction in rondo form (ABA’CA’’). The purpose of the study is to introduce the composer, James Wintle, and to present an analysis of The Key for trumpet and piano, a work which receives frequent performance. Through research and analytical approaches, the study focuses on a theoretical analysis of The Key for trumpet and piano.
