SCHENKER’S FIRST “AMERICANIZATION”: GEORGE WEDGE, THE INSTITUTE OF MUSICAL ART, AND THE “APPRECIATION RACKET” DAVID CARSON BERRY quarter of a century ago, William Rothstein first employed a now common phrase when A he spoke of the “Americanization of Schenker”—that is, the accommodation that had to be made to bring Schenker’s ideas into the American academy, a process that involved ex- punging (or at least reconstituting) “those elements of Schenker’s thought [that clashed] most spectacularly with the American mind.”1 Rothstein focused mainly on émigrés displaced by the Second World War (e.g., Oswald Jonas, Ernst Oster, and Felix Salzer), and on Americans a generation younger (e.g., Milton Babbitt and Allen Forte).

  • The Pianistic Legacy of Olga Samaroff: Her Contributions to the Musical World
    The Pianistic Legacy of Olga Samaroff: Her Contributions to the Musical World The Pianistic Legacy of Olga Samaroff: Her Contributions to the Musical World Reiko ISHII Key Words： Olga Samaroff, piano pedagogy, pianist, teaching philosophy 1. Introduction 1.1 Purpose of the study This study examines the life and accomplishments of Olga Samaroff, one of the most famous and influential American musicians during the first half of the twentieth century, and discusses her contributions to music education and the musical world. Samaroff was an international concert pianist and a wife of the conductor Leopold Stokowski as well as a successful piano teacher and writer. This research begins with her biography, describes her pedagogical method and teaching philosophy, and then, discusses how her unique teaching method and high standards of musicianship influenced and contributed to culture and society in the U.S. 1.2 Significance of the study To date, research concerning Olga Samaroff is limited even though she made distinguished contributions to the classical music scene. Samaroff is a legendary but almost forgotten pianist of the early 1900’s who was overshadowed by Leopold Stokowski, her second husband as well as renowned conductor. Especially outside of the U.S., she is relatively unknown to most people and there is no publication available on Samaroff in Japan. In general, traditional piano teaching method is that student should follow what teacher says and imitate his or her teachers’ performance. Samaroff’s teaching method and philosophy were completely opposite from the traditional one. There were two purposes of her piano teaching, musical independence and human development of piano students.
