Sponsored by the American Viola Society and Brieham Youne University, the congress was held in t.he Frenklln S, Harris Fine Arts Center--& superb ccmplex that offered first-class concert halls, lecture roous, and exhibition galleries. Two celebrations, important to violists, took place durine the congress. The first was an anticipatory musics1 and biographical celebration of the 100th birthday of Ernest Bloch (born 1880), manifested by performances of all his worke for viola and a talk on his life and music by Suzanne Bloch, his dsuehter. The second was the 75th birthday of William Primrose. The viclists heard during the three days represented a stunning and consi~tentlyhigh level of performance--so~ethM that has become more and more the norm for viola playing today and synonymous with American strine playing in eeneral.

The first movement contains a concealed reference to her first name in the musical notation a-g-a-h-e, while the whole work is full of technical ingenuity and poetic inspiration.

  • String Quartet in E Minor, Op 83

    String Quartet in E Minor, Op 83

    String Quartet in E minor, op 83 A quartet in three movements for two violins, viola and cello: 1 - Allegro moderato; 2 - Piacevole (poco andante); 3 - Allegro molto. Approximate Length: 30 minutes First Performance: Date: 21 May 1919 Venue: Wigmore Hall, London Performed by: Albert Sammons, W H Reed - violins; Raymond Jeremy - viola; Felix Salmond - cello Dedicated to: The Brodsky Quartet Elgar composed two part-quartets in 1878 and a complete one in 1887 but these were set aside and/or destroyed. Years later, the violinist Adolf Brodsky had been urging Elgar to compose a string quartet since 1900 when, as leader of the Hallé Orchestra, he performed several of Elgar's works. Consequently, Elgar first set about composing a String Quartet in 1907 after enjoying a concert in Malvern by the Brodsky Quartet. However, he put it aside when he embarked with determination on his long-delayed First Symphony. It appears that the composer subsequently used themes intended for this earlier quartet in other works, including the symphony. When he eventually returned to the genre, it was to compose an entirely fresh work. It was after enjoying an evening of chamber music in London with Billy Reed’s quartet, just before entering hospital for a tonsillitis operation, that Elgar decided on writing the quartet, and he began it whilst convalescing, completing the first movement by the end of March 1918. He composed that first movement at his home, Severn House, in Hampstead, depressed by the war news and debilitated from his operation. By May, he could move to the peaceful surroundings of Brinkwells, the country cottage that Lady Elgar had found for them in the depth of the Sussex countryside.
  • Tertis's Viola Version of Elgar's Cello Concerto by Anthony Addison Special to Clevelandclassical

    Tertis's Viola Version of Elgar's Cello Concerto by Anthony Addison Special to Clevelandclassical

    Preview Heights Chamber Orchestra conductor's notes: Tertis's viola version of Elgar's Cello Concerto by Anthony Addison Special to ClevelandClassical An old adage suggested that violists were merely vio- linists-in-decline. That was before Lionel Tertis! He was born in 1876 of musical parents who had come to England from Poland and Russia and, at three years old, he started playing the piano. At six he performed in public, but had to be locked in a room to make him practice, a procedure that has actually fostered many an international virtuoso. At thirteen, with the agree- ment of his parents, he left home to earn his living in music playing in pickup groups at summer resorts, accompanying a violinist, and acting as music attendant at a lunatic asylum. +41:J:-:/1?<1>95@@1041?@A0510-@(>5:5@E;88131;2!A?5/@-75:3B5;85:-?45?

Fate intervened when fellow stu- dents wanted to form a string quartet. Tertis volunteered to play viola, borrowed an in- strument, loved the rich quality of its lowest string and thereafter turned the old adage up- side down: a not very obviously gifted violinist becoming a world class violist. But, until the viola attained respectability in Tertis’s hands, composers were reluctant to write for the instrument.

    CICLO MUSICA PARA LA VIOLA Enero 1990 CICLO MUSICA PARA LA VIOLA Fundación Juan March CICLO MUSICA PARA LA VIOLA Enero 1990 INDICE Pág. Presentación 5 Programa general Introducción general, por Carlos José Costas 14 Notas al Programa • Primer concierto 16 • Segundo concierto 18 • Tercer concierto 20 • Cuarto concierto 22 Participantes 25 Con el nombre de viola conoce la historia de la música múltiples instrumentos. Este ciclo se ciñe exclusivamente a la viola moderna, la de la familia del violín, e intenta ofrecer un breve panorama de la literatura musical que este instrumento ha generado. Casi siempre en funciones un poco secundarias tanto en la orquesta como en la música de cámara, la viola es un instrumento de timbre bellísimo y muy difícil de unificar: sus sonidos agudos tienden hacia el violín, mientras que los graves miran hacia el violonchelo, y en esta misma ambigüedad está el secreto del instrumento y de los intérpretes que a Use dedican. Desde el punto de vista de la organología, y dadas las funciones que ha de cumplir en el entramado polifónico, la viola moderna es un poco más pequeña de lo que hubiera debido ser; hay un salto excesivo entre su tamaño y el del violonchelo. Pero en esto de las familias instrumentales hay misterios tan insondables como en cualquier otro aspecto de la vida. En resumen, hacer sonar las cuatro cuerdas de la viola con personalidad propia y lograr que en el paso de unas a otras continuemos oyendo el mismo instrumento, es el secreto a voces de un buen violista. Este es el caso de los benque intervienen en este ciclo.

    22. - 25. MAI 2015 PROGRAMM GRUSSWORT DER GASTGEBER Wir möchten Sie hier auf der Brunegg herzlich willkommen heissen. Esther Hoppe und Jürg Dähler haben mit ihren Kolleginnen und Kollegen ein Programm zusammengestellt, das schon bei der ersten Ankündigung begeisterte Kommentare ausgelöst hat. Wir freuen uns mit Ihnen auf ein hervorragendes musikalisches Erlebnis. Bis anhin hatten wir die Räumlichkeiten stets nur für private Anlässe benützt. Dass nun die Öffentlichkeit Zutritt hat, ist vollkommen neu, und wir wollen damit eine neue Tradition beginnen. Da wir hier unser privates Wohnen eingerichtet haben, bitten wir Sie um Verständnis, wenn Sie keinen Zutritt in unsere Wohnräume erhalten. Diese stehen übrigens zum Teil den Künstlern zur Verfügung. Brunegg war seit dem Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts im Besitz der Familie Hünerwadel von Lenzburg und gelangte durch die Heirat von Marie Pauline mit Adolf von Salis, dem Vater von Jean Rudolf von Salis, in unsere Familie. Es wurde im Sommer sehr lebhaft zu geselligem Zusammensein genutzt; es wurde gewohnt, gespielt, geschrieben und diskutiert. Wir selber haben seit den 1990er Jahren Renovations- und Umbauarbeiten machen lassen; die Unterburg erhielt zwei moderne Wohnungen und den Festraum in der Tenne. Das Schloss oben und die Gartenanlagen wurden tiefgreifenden Restaurierungen und Erneuerungen unterzogen; die gesamte Anlage wurde von einem halb ruinenhaften in den heutigen, bequem bewohn- und bespielbaren Zustand umgewandelt. Wir hoffen, dass Sie das mit uns geniessen können und wünschen Ihnen ein gelungenes Pfingstfestival! Thomas und Elisabeth von Salis Gastgeber EDITORIAL DER KÜNSTLERISCHEN LEITUNG Die Historie des Schlosses Brunegg in seinem heute rundum erneuerten Gewand verführt und verpflichtet zu gleichen Teilen, an diesem geschichtsträchtigen Ort ein Festival zu gestalten, welches Tradition und Innovation in sinnlicher Art und Weise verbindet.
