The strongest impressions of the concert season are linked with Baldwintone, exquisitely exploited by pianists eminent in their art. Schnitzer, Pugno, Scharwenka, Bachaus De Pachmann! More than chance attracts the finely-gifted amateur to this keyboard. Among people who love good music, who have a culti- vated knowledge of it, and who seek the best medium for producing it, the Baldwin is chief. In such an atmosphere it is as happily "at home" as are the Preludes of Chopin, the Liszt Rhapsodies upon a virtuoso's programme. THE BOOK OF THE BALDWIN free upon request.

Liberal allowance for pianos taken in exchange KNABE WAREROOMS 5th Avenue, corner 39th Street " Overture, "In the Spring," Op. 36 Carl Goldmark (Born at Keszthely, Hungary, May 18, 1830; living at Vienna.) This overture was first played at Vienna, December 1, 1889, at a Philharmonic concert. Goldmark was then known chiefly as the com- poser of the opera, "The Queen of Sheba," and the concert overtures, "Sakuntala" and "Penthesilea." The overtures "Prometheus Bound" and "Sappho" were not then written. There was wonder why Gold- mark, with his love for mythology, his passion for Orientalism in music, should be concerned with the simple, inevitable phenomenon of spring, as though there were place in such an overture for lush har- monic progressions and gorgeously sensuous orchestration. Consider the list of his works: his operas, "The Queen of Sheba," "Merlin," are based on legend; "The Cricket on the Hearth" is a fanciful version of Dickens's tale; the opera "The Prisoner of War" is the story of the maid for whose dear sake Achilles sulked; "Gotz von Berlichingen (1902) was inspired by Goethe; "Ein Wintermarchen " (1908) is based on Shakespeare's "Winter's Tale." Of his two symphonies, the more famous, "The Country Wedding," might be celebrated in a pleasure-ground of Baghdad rather than in some Austrian village. And what are the subjects of his overtures? Sakuntala, who loses her ring and is beloved by the great king Dushianta; Penthesilea, the Lady of. the Ax,—and some say that she invented the glaive, bill, and halberd, —the Amazon queen, who was slain by Achilles and mourned The ORATORIO SOCIETY OF NEW YORK Founded by Dr. Leopold Damrosch, 1873 Fortieth Season, 1912-1913 LOUIS KOEMMENICH, Conductor AT CARNEGIE HALL A CHORAL SERVICE - - Otto Taubmann (Eine Deutsche Messe) NEW — FIRST TIME IN AMERICA Friday Evening, March 28, 1913 Miss INEZ BARBOUR, Soprano Miss MILDRED POTTER, Contralto Mr. JOHN YOUNG, Tenor Mr. PUTNAM GRISWOLD, Bass (OF THE METROPOLITAN OPERA CO.)

And for his latest concert overture, "In Italy" (1904), Goldmark endeavored to warm his blood by thinking of Italy. The composer of "Sakuntala," "The Queen of Sheba," and "The Country Wedding," a composer of an overture to "Spring"! His music was as his blood, —half Hungarian, half Hebraic. His melodies were like unto the century-old chants solemnly intoned by priests with drooping eyes, or dreamed of by the eaters of leaves and flowers of hemp. His harmonies, with their augmented fourths and diminished sixths and restless shiftings from major to minor, were as the stupefying odors of charred frankincense and grated sandalwood. To Western people he was as the disquieting Malay, who knocked at De Quincey's door in the mountain region Over a hundred years before Diderot had reproached de Saint- Lambert, the author of a poem, "The Seasons," for having "too much azure, emerald, topaz, sapphire, enamel, crystal, on his pallet," when he attempted to picture Spring. And, lo, Goldmark disappointed these lifters of eyebrows and shakers of heads. The overture turned out to be fresh, joyous, and Occidental, without suggestion of sojourn in the East, without the thought of the Temple. * * * But Goldmark's overture was inspired by von Kleist's tragedy, in which Penthesilea, suspecting Achilles of treachery, sets her hounds on him and tears with them his flesh; then, her fury spent, she stabs herself and falls on the mutilated body. CYRANO Opera in Four Acts By WALTER DAMROSCH Book by W. J. HENDERSON, after the drama by edmond rostand Price, Vocal Score, net $4.00. Libretto, net 35 cents The first performance of CYRANO was given by the Metropolitan Opera Company on February 27, and proved to be one of the great successes of the season. PRESS COMMENTS " Unquestionably, from the artistic as well as the technical point of view, the best of the operas by American composers that have been produced at the Metropolitan Opera House." — Richard Aldrich, New York Times. " A notable artistic achievement and one which reflects credit upon its authors and the institu- tion which produced it." — H. E. Krehbiel, New York Tribune. " CYRANO is a success. I firmly believe that Mr. Damrosch's opera will remain in the regular repertoire." — Otto H. Kahn, Chairman Metropolitan Board of Directors. 3 East 43d Street, G. SCHIRMER (Inc.,) New York The overture begins directly, Allegro (feurig schwungvoll), A major, 3-4, with a theme that is extended at considerable length and appears in various keys. After the entrance of the second theme there is an awakening of nature The notes of birds are heard, furtively at first; and then the notes are bolder and in greater number.

    THE SUBSTANCE OF STYLE HOW SINGING CREATES SOUND IN LIEDER RECORDINGS, 1902-1939 A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Rebecca Mara Plack May 2008 © 2008 Rebecca Mara Plack THE SUBSTANCE OF STYLE HOW SINGING CREATES SOUND IN LIEDER RECORDINGS, 1902-1939 Rebecca Mara Plack, Ph. D. Cornell University 2008 In this dissertation, I examine the relationship between vocal technique and performance style through 165 audio clips of early Lieder recordings. I proceed from the starting point that many stylistic gestures are in fact grounded in a singer’s habitual vocalism. Vibrato, tempo and rubato are directly affected by a singer’s voice type and his physical condition, and portamento has long been a technical term as well as a stylistic one. If we consider these technical underpinnings of style, we are inevitably moved to ask: how do a singer’s vocal habits affect what we perceive to be his style? Does a singer’s habitual vocalism result in his being more likely to make certain style gestures, or even unable to make others? To address these questions, I begin by defining a vocabulary that draws on three sources: the language of vocal pedagogy, data derived from voice science, and evidence drawn from recordings themselves. In the process, I also consider how some Lieder singers distorted the word “technique,” using it to signify emotional detachment. Next, I examine the ways in which a recording represents the performer, addressing how singers are affected by both changing aesthetics and the aging process; both of these lead to a discussion of how consistently some performers make certain stylistic gestures throughout their recordings.

  • Looking Back at CHARM
    Annual newsletter Issue 5 (April 2009) We set up CHARM because we thought that musicology was skewed towards the study of Looking back scores, that there was enormous untapped potential in the last century's heritage of recordings, and that bringing recordings to the forefront of the at CHARM discipline could help to transform it—not least in terms of overcoming the mismatch between a discipline focussed on written documents and a public for whom music means performed sound. Although reception theory and history had a major influence on post-war musicology, the focus remained on the written document. And although the 'performative turn' that swept through cultural studies in the last decades of the twentieth century also had an effect on musicology, it perversely served only to reinforce the conception of music as a form of writing. The historically informed performance movement brought documentary and other period evidence to bear upon performance practice, in effect subordinating playing to writing. Analytical approaches to performance did much the same by mapping score-based analysis onto performances. While ethnomusicology and popular music studies were more successful in adopting a performative approach, we felt that in the area of Western 'art' music there was the potential for a major transformative intervention. That was where we hoped CHARM might make a critical contribution. Although we saw CHARM as in essence a vehicle The CHARM website is undergoing a major for the development of a performative approach to redevelopment. Our new site will be hosted by King’s musicology, we saw significant advantages in College London, and will bring together the on-line focussing it specifically on recordings.

Today, Liszt’s stature in the music world seems diminished—his music is not all that regularly performed, aside from a few works, such as the B minor piano sonata, that have never gone out of favor; and he is more a name in the history books than an indispensable part of our concert life.

  • 200 Anos De Franz Liszt: II. Transcrições E Experiências Harmônicas
    200 anos de Franz Liszt: II. Transcrições e Experiências harmônicas Transcrições “Franz Liszt, am Flügel phantasieren”, pintura de 1840 de Josef Danhauser A metade da obra catalogada de Liszt (no total de quase 1000) são transcrições das obras de outros compositores para piano solo – como sinfonias, canções e obras camerísticas. Mas Liszt é o primeiro pianista a dar à transcrição um papel que vai muito além de uma “redução” funcional de podermos ver uma obra grandiosa resumida em duas claves, pois ele transforma a transcrição em uma verdadeira tradução da obra para uma nova linguagem, a linguagem do piano. São famosas as suas transcrições das sinfonias de Beethoven, mas há também a transcrição da Sinfonia “Fantástica” de Berlioz, do “Liebestod” do Tristão e Isolda de Wagner, de diversas canções de Schubert e até do Requiem de Mozart. O que chama a atenção nas transcrições não é apenas que elas acabaram contribuindo para a própria história da escrita pianística ao buscarem recursos que dessem conta de outras sonoridades, texturas e dimensões, mas também como Liszt concebia a transcrição como uma obra própria, que deveria se justificar independentemente da obra original e por isso demandava necessidades próprias, que ele poderia resolver com compassos totalmente novos. Como exemplo, compare-se a belíssima canção “Kriegers Ahnung” do ciclo Schwanengesang (1828) de Schubert: [audio:http://euterpe.blog.br/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Schubert-Lieder-D-95 7-Schwanengesang-02.-Kriegers-Ahnung-D.-Fischer-Dieskau-G.- Moore-1957.mp3|titles=Schubert – Lieder D 957 ‘Schwanengesang’ – 02.

  • NOTES on GLUCK's ARMIDE by CARL VAN VECHTEN ICHARD WAGNER, Like Many Another Great Man, Took
    NOTES ON GLUCK'S ARMIDE By CARL VAN VECHTEN ICHARD WAGNER, like many another great man, took what he wanted where he found it. Everyone has heard Downloaded from R the story of his remark to his father-in-law when that august musician first listened to Die WalkHre: "You will recognize this theme, Papa Liszt?" The motto in question occurs when Sieglinde sings: Kehrte der Voder nun heim. Liszt had used the tune at the beginning of his Faust symphony. Not long ago, in http://mq.oxfordjournals.org/ playing over Schumann's Kinderscenen, I discovered Brunnhilde's magic slumber music, exactly as it appears in the music drama, in the piece pertinently called Kind im Einschlummern. When Weber's Euryanihe was revived recently at the Metropolitan Opera House it had the appearance of an old friend, although comparatively few in the first night audience had heard the opera before. One recognized tunes, characters, and scenes, because Wagner had found them all good enough to use in Tannh&user at University of Toronto Library on July 15, 2015 and Lohengrin. 'But, at least, you will object, he invented the music drama. That, I am inclined to believe, is just what he did not do, as anyone may see for himself who will take the trouble to glance over the scores of the Chevalier Gluck and to read the preface to Alceste. Gluck's reform of the opera was gradual; Orphie (in its French version), Alceste, and IphigSnie en Aulide, all of which antedate Armide, are replete with indications of what was to come; but Armide, it seems to me, is, in intention at least, almost the music drama, as we use the term to-day.
