  • Raff's Arragement for Piano of Bach's Cello Suites
    Six Sonatas for Cello by J.S.Bach arranged for the Pianoforte by JOACHIM RAFF WoO.30 Sonata No.1 in G major Sonate No.2 in D minor Sonate No.3 in C major Sonate No.4 in E flat major Sonate No.5 in C minor Sonate No.6 in D major Joachim Raff’s interest in the works of Johann Sebastian Bach and the inspiration he drew from them is unmatched by any of the other major composers in the second half of the 19th century. One could speculate that Raff’s partiality for polyphonic writing originates from his studies of Bach’s works - the identification of “influenced by Bach” with “Polyphony” is a popular idea but is often questionable in terms of scientific correctness. Raff wrote numerous original compositions in polyphonic style and used musical forms of the baroque period. However, he also created a relatively large number of arrangements and transcriptions of works by Bach. Obviously, Bach’s music exerted a strong attraction on Raff that went further than plain admiration. Looking at Raff’s arrangements one can easily detect his particular interest in those works by Bach that could be supplemented by another composer. Upon these models Raff could fit his reverence for the musical past as well as exploit his never tiring interest in the technical aspects of the art of composition. One of the few statements we have by Raff about the basics of his art reveal his concept of how to attach supplements to works by Bach. Raff wrote about his orchestral arrangement of Bach’s Ciaconna in d minor for solo violin: "Everybody who has studied J.S.

In order to make a thorough and clear analysis of this relationship a structural/semiotic analysis has been developed as the analysis of best fit. Historically it has been fashionable to see Liszt's symphonic poems in terms of sonata form or a form only making sense in terms of the attached programme. Both of these ideas are critically examined in this analysis.

  • Current Review
    Current Review Franz Liszt: Künstlerfestzug - Tasso - Dante Symphony aud 97.760 EAN: 4022143977601 4022143977601 Fanfare (2020.05.01) Franz Liszt’s purely symphonic works, viewed in hindsight, have been more historically instructive than popular with the public. Only A Faust Symphony and Les préludes ever entered the general repertoire, and the latter is currently on life support, though, in fairness, this is probably due to over-familiarity from film, television, and Muzak at the supermarket. Although Liszt sowed the seeds of modern development in concert music, from tone poems to tone rows, his orchestral pieces sound melodramatically pianistic to most ears, constantly declaiming in octaves to stir up excitement and—kiss of death—rarely featuring inspired melodies. An exception is the “Gretchen” movement from his Faust Symphony, which Liszt realized was destined for popularity and published separately in various permutations. Liszt also had trouble with orchestration. Indeed, much of what we encounter was actually scored by Joachim Raff, though musicologists today easily demonstrate that Raff took too much credit as a collaborator, when in fact he simply orchestrated Liszt’s direct intentions. Scholars of the day twisted themselves into pretzels worrying whether Liszt’s 1857 Dante Symphony, omitting “Paradiso,” correctly represented Dante Alighieri’s 14th-century epic poem, “Divine Comedy.” Wagner, horrified at Liszt’s original decision to conclude the piece with a depiction—presumably loud and bombastic—of paradise, urged him to keep the music ethereal. Liszt took Wagner’s critique to heart, and the symphony finishes with a women’s chorus singing Mary’s hymn of praise from the Gospel according to St.

    (RE)CONSTRUCTING JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH: RECEPTION HISTORY AND PERFORMANCE PRACTICE IN NEW YORK CITY DURING THE GREAT WAR A THESIS IN Musicology Presented to the faculty of the University of Missouri-Kansas City in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF MUSIC By THOMAS JARED MARKS B.M. University of Missouri-Kansas City, 2010 Kansas City, Missouri 2013 ©2013 THOMAS JARED MARKS ALL RIGHTS RESERVED (RE)CONSTRUCTING JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH: RECEPTION HISTORY AND PERFORMANCE PRACTICE IN NEW YORK CITY DURING THE GREAT WAR Thomas Jared Marks, Candidate for the Master of Music Degree University of Missouri-Kansas City, 2013 ABSTRACT The perception of Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) in New York City during the time of the Great War can be illuminated through two threads: 1) reception history and reputation, and 2) contemporary performance practices. Between 1914 and 1927, the reputation of Bach migrated away from one having nationalistic and Romantic associations to one embodying both a “universal” objectivity and a distinctly American subjectivity. Similarly, the manner in which Bach’s music was performed also changed. Before the Great War, transcribing and arranging Bach’s music was common. After the war, some New York City critics began to advocate for Bach’s music to be played as historical reconstructions. Transcriptions and arrangements continued to be performed alongside historical reconstructions, and both a subjective and historically “objective” approaches to performing the composer’s music existed. New York City musician William Henry Humiston (1869-1923) and his idea of Bach provides a useful case study of one musician’s approach to understanding the composer.

  • EE Final Daniel Gordon
    Abstract J.S. Bach’s Chaconne in D minor has long since established itself as a cornerstone of the solo violin repertoire. During the Romantic period numerous transcriptions of it to other instruments by various composers have been made. In this essay we will turn to two of them, investigating the research question, “The Extent of the Effectiveness of Joachim Raff’s and Johannes Brahms’ Piano Transcriptions of Bach’s Chaconne from the Partita No. 2 in D minor for Solo Violin.” In analyzing the scores of these transcriptions, we compare them to the original Bach Chaconne, taking into account Brahms’ and Raff’s perceived intentions in writing their transcriptions and paying attention to melody, texture, and characteristic instrumental transcription issues. The research has found that Brahms’ transcription was based on a paradigm of being as faithful as possible to the original violin sound. In this respect it was largely successful, transcribing literally as much as possible while adding slight modifications when appropriate, exploiting the piano’s capabilities. On the other hand, the transcription by Raff, despite indubitably having many appropriately transcribed and expanded passages, often contains dubious additional voices and too many over- virtuosic effects. While these may make sense in the context of Raff’s perception of the music, overall it does not stay faithful to Bach’s intentions and this results in a work which is merely partially effective.
