(372) " Symphony No. 6, in B minor, Pathetique," Op. 74, Peter Ilyitch Tschaikowsky. This symphony was published and performed very shortly before his death. It is supposed that he meant the last movement, Adagio lamentoso, to be his own Requiem. The first movement opens with a brief introduction, Adagio in B minor (4-4 time), based upon a slow version of a figure taken from the first theme of the ensuing Allegro. This is given out in the lower register of the bas- soon, against dark, sombre harmonies in the violas, 'celli, and double- basses. The main body of the movement, Allegro non troppo in B minor (4-4 time), opens with the exposition of the strenuous, sighing first theme in four-part harmony, at first in the divided violas and 'celli, then in the flutes and clarinets. This theme is then concisely developed by the strings, and followed by a first subsidiary, first given out pianissimo by the strings, and then developed in double counterpoint by them and the wood-wind. Here we have a good example of Tschaikowsky's love for sharp contrasts : at first the contrast is one of color, between the warm brown, so to speak, of the violas and 'celli, and the brighter tints of the flutes and clarinets, in the exposition of the first theme ; then comes the contrast in rhythmic and melodic character, between the lightly skipping upper and middle voices, and the smoothly flowing bass of the subsidiary — a contrast which well fits this latter for being developed in double counterpoint. The Con- trapuntal development of the subsidiary is followed by a long crescendo climax of passage-work for fuller and fuller orchestra on figures from the first theme, during which a new phrase of the horns assumes greater and greater prominence. When this long climax, which has almost the char- acter of actual working-out, has reached its apex, a decrescendo sets in, with solemn harmonies in the trombones and tuba, over a restless, nervous bass in the 'celli ; a cantabile phrase in the latter now leads over to the second ATonk FOR BRAIN-WORKERS, THE WEAK AND DEBILITATED. Horsford's Acid Phosphate Is, without exception, the Best Remedy for relieving Mental and Nervous Exhaustion ; and, where the system has become debilitated by disease, it acts as a general tonic and vitalizer, affording sustenance to both brain and body.

The tempo now changes to Andante ; the key is D major (relative major of the tonic). The muted first violins and 'celli sing the cantilena of the sec- ond theme " teneramente, motto cantabile, con espansione " in octaves, against gently swelled and diminished harmonies in the lower wood-wind and horns. The second subsidiary, Moderato mosso in D major, follows hard upon it, a gracefully rising and falling phrase given out alternately by the flute and the bassoon, over a string accompaniment in a strongly marked rhythm. The development of this second subsidiary is very extended, and leads at last to a strong return of the second theme, sung in double octaves by the violins and violas, now unmuted, against a homophonic accompani- ment in repeated triplets (so-called " Gounod triplets ") in the other strings, wood-wind, and horns. This melody is now further developed than at first, an augmentation of one of the figures from the first theme assuming more and more importance as a counter-theme, and at last almost the character of a conclusion-theme. Recitative-like repetitions of parts of the second theme by the clarinet, over soft chords in the strings and a subdued roll in the kettle-drums, bring the first part of the movement to a close. So far, the general principles of the sonata-form have been well adhered to, although the development has been somewhat excessive and over-elabo- rate for the first part of a symphonic movement. But, from this point on, nearly all traces of sonata-form are lost, and the rest of the movement might be called a long free fantasia ; in this respect the movement resem- bles the first in Schumann's D minor symphony, which also is wanting in a third part. To be sure, this movement of Tschaikowsky's is not wholly wanting in, at least rudimentary, indications of a third part : after the long and elaborate free fantasia proper, in which nearly all the thematic material of the movement is thoroughly worked out, the first theme does at last re- turn ; but by no means in its original shape, and not in the tonic. It comes back in B-flat minor in the violins, against syncopated triplets in the horns. New England Conservator]] of music POUNDED IN 1853 BY DR. BBBN TOURJBE. RICHARD H. DANA, President.

(The third is his piece for cello and orchestra, Kol Nidrei.) In his lifetime he was best known for large-scale choral works, well received at their premieres and popular with the many amateur choral societies found throughout Europe in the later 19th century. Those choruses began to dwindle once the 20th century got underway. As they disappeared, Bruch’s cantatas and oratorios also faded from consciousness, rarely, if ever, to be heard again. By association, Bruch became thought of as a composer whose time had come and gone. It is interesting to compare the very diff erent assessments of him in two successive editions of Grove’s Dictionary of Music, from 1904 and 1954. The earlier edition declared: “He is above all a master of melody, and of the eff ective treatment of masses of sound.” By 1954 the verdict on his output was dismissive and condescending: ‘It is its lack of adventure that limited its fame.’ Bruch was born during the lifetimes of Mendelssohn and Schumann and died when Schoenberg and Stravinsky were creating gigantic waves in musical life.

  • Mathematical and Musical Analysis of Kol Nidrei
    Mathematical and Musical Analysis of Kol Nidrei Kol Nidrei, Op. 47, is an instrumental piece written in 1881 by Max Bruch. It was originally composed for violincello and orchestra, though the version that will be analyzed here is a translation for viola and piano. Though Bruch was a protestant, he composed Kol Nidrei by drawing from two themes of Jewish descent. The first theme is featured in the opening melody and throughout the D minor section of the piece. It is based on the Kol Nidre prayer, which is an old Hebrew prayer of atonement that is recited on the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur. The melody of this theme is meant to imitate the voice of a hazzan, who leads the worship of the congregation through lyrical prayer in a synagogue. The second theme is featured in the second half of the piece, where the music switches from D minor to D major. This theme draws from a section of a Hebrew melody titled “O Weep for Those that Wept on Babel’s Stream” by Lord Byron. Bruch composed Kol Nidrei in the romantic era of music. It was in this era that composers strayed from previous musical conventions and rules in order to create pieces consisting of significant emotional expression. Because of this, Kol Nidrei breaks many musical rules by utilizing irregular phrasing, disjunct harmonies, and little repetition in the melodic line. This lack of consistency makes it a difficult piece to examine, though spectrograms are able to help illustrate exactly what is heard in this piece. Since Kol Nidrei has such emotional themes, the solo violist can enhance the emotion using vibrato.
