  • Ames Piano Quartet Has Been the Ensemble-In- Residence at Iowa State University Since Its Inception in 1976
    mind, Fauré finally wrote their names on slips of paper, placed them in a hat, and randomly picked Marie Fremiet, daughter of a sculptor. The first movement of this evening's concluding work launches impetuously EPARTMENT OF USIC HEATRE into a strongly rhythmical but somewhat sad minor key whose theme is D M & T played in unison by the three strings. The following Scherzo has been described as "a buzzing of fairy insects on a moonbeam in a Shakespearean glade" and is full of rhythmic surprises which dramatically contrast with the solemn and wistful melodies of the Adagio. Somewhat reminiscent of a Mazurka in its vigour the Finale builds to an exciting climax to conclude one of the most beloved works of the piano quartet repertoire. Notes by Ralph Aldrich Ames Quartet Biography Ames In various iterations, the Ames Piano Quartet has been the ensemble-in- residence at Iowa State University since its inception in 1976. One of the few regularly constituted piano quartets in the world, the Ames Quartet briefly became the Amara Quartet in 2012, upon the retirement of two of Piano Quartet its long-time members. Wishing to reconnect with more than thirty years of tradition, the Quartet has now returned to its original name of Ames. The Quartet has an extensive discography, including fourteen CDs under the Ames name and a further two as Amara. Labels for which the group has Borivoj Martini -Jer i , violin recorded include Musical Heritage, Dorian, Sono Luminus, Albany, and ć č ć Fleur de Son Classics. “One finds critics writing of their commitment, passion, power, and sensitivity, not to mention their collective technical Stephanie Price-Wong, viola skills,” writes Robert Cummings on the AllMusic.com web site.

  • Completing Mahler's Piano Quartet: a Study of Unfinished Music, Ethics
    Nota Bene: Canadian Undergraduate Journal of Musicology Volume 14 | Issue 1 Article 5 Completing Mahler’s Piano Quartet: A Study of Unfinished Music, Ethics, and Authenticities Isabella Spinelli Northwestern University Recommended Citation Spinelli, Isabella. “Completing Mahler’s Piano Quartet: A Study of Unfinished Music, Ethics, and Authenticities.” Nota Bene: Canadian Undergraduate Journal of Musicology 14, no. 1 (2021): 115-178. https://doi.org/10.5206/notabene.v14i1.13410. Completing Mahler’s Piano Quartet: A Study of Unfinished Music, Ethics, and Authenticities Abstract Performers and scholars have argued for generations over what should be done with musical works that have been left incomplete by their composers. Though many attempts have been made to bring such works to completion, some scholars feel that these fragments should remain untouched because the pieces in question were left incomplete during the composer’s own career. With this debate in mind, I undertook a study and completion of Gustav Mahler’s Piano Quartet in A minor, a piece for which Mahler composed a complete first movement, Nicht zu schnell, and twenty-four bars of a second movement, Scherzo, when he was a student at the Vienna Conservatory. I began by analyzing Nicht zu schnell in order to understand Mahler’s treatment of motives, form, and harmony. In addition, I studied contemporary works by Schumann and Brahms. Based on my analyses, I then composed a completion of the Scherzo in a style that is, in my opinion, idiomatic of Mahler. After a performance of my completion, seventy percent of the audience responded with five on a scale of zero to six when asked in a survey how closely my Scherzo aligned with Nicht zu schnell.

  • Guide to Repertoire
    Guide to Repertoire The chamber music repertoire is both wonderful and almost endless. Some have better grips on it than others, but all who are responsible for what the public hears need to know the landscape of the art form in an overall way, with at least a basic awareness of its details. At the end of the day, it is the music itself that is the substance of the work of both the performer and presenter. Knowing the basics of the repertoire will empower anyone who presents concerts. Here is a run-down of the meat-and-potatoes of the chamber literature, organized by instrumentation, with some historical context. Chamber music ensembles can be most simple divided into five groups: those with piano, those with strings, wind ensembles, mixed ensembles (winds plus strings and sometimes piano), and piano ensembles. Note: The listings below barely scratch the surface of repertoire available for all types of ensembles. The Major Ensembles with Piano The Duo Sonata (piano with one violin, viola, cello or wind instrument) Duo repertoire is generally categorized as either a true duo sonata (solo instrument and piano are equal partners) or as a soloist and accompanist ensemble. For our purposes here we are only discussing the former. Duo sonatas have existed since the Baroque era, and Johann Sebastian Bach has many examples, all with “continuo” accompaniment that comprises full partnership. His violin sonatas, especially, are treasures, and can be performed equally effectively with harpsichord, fortepiano or modern piano. Haydn continued to develop the genre; Mozart wrote an enormous number of violin sonatas (mostly for himself to play as he was a professional-level violinist as well).

  • Dvorak String Quartet Op 87
    Antonín Dvo!ák (1841-1904) Piano Quartet no. 2 in E flat major, op. 87 (1889) Allegro con fuoco Lento Allegro moderato, grazioso Finale. Allegro ma non troppo The second piano quartet was written in Dvo!ák's maturity. Encouraged by Brahms, he had achieved early success with the Czech folk-based Slavonic Dances, but he later had to develop a more serious Germanic style to please his Viennese audiences. They had become biased against Czech-flavoured music by the rising tide of Czech nationalism. However, throughout the 1880s, on his frequent visits to England, Dvo!ák had enjoyed unstinting admiration. English concert-goers showed none of the anti-Czech prejudice of the Viennese. Encouraged by this success, the cheerful good humour of this second piano quartet (and of the Eighth Symphony, which was written immediately after it) returns to the Czech idiom, but with its structure strengthened by Dvo!ák's enforced Germanic digression. The work was requested by his publisher Simrock to whom Dvo!ák wrote enthusiastically on August 10, 1889: "I've now already finished three movements of a new piano quartet and the Finale will be ready in a few days. As I expected it came easily and the melodies just surged upon me. Thank God!" Curiously, the first bar of the main theme of the first movement could have been the inspiration for the previous Kodály Duo (and indeed for Queen's Radio Ga Ga) with its rising second and falling fourth. After showing us some of the interest of this boldly energetic theme, Dvo!ák slides into the unexpected key of G major and the viola introduces the lyrical second subject.

A l'opéra, Chimène gagne sur tous les tableaux Une œuvre d'Antonio Sacchini a été exhumée avec succès, le 14 janvier, à Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, avant une tournée française la fin des années 1770, le goût français en matière de tragédie lyrique connaît A un dilemme cornélien. Valider la " réforme " de l'Autrichien Christoph Willibald Gluck pour endiguer les développements pyrotechniques du chant et mieux servir la poésie du livret ou consacrer le règne d'une expression fleurie, à l'italienne, magnifiée par Niccolo Piccinni ? Gluck vieillissant et ayant quitté la scène parisienne, qui trouve-t-on pour représenter son camp et s'opposer à Piccinni ? Antonio Sacchini, ami de ce dernier et jadis son allié. Corneille n'aurait pas trouvé meilleure intrigue, d'autant que Le Cid constitue la base de l'opéra commandé à Sacchini pour se mesurer à Piccinni et à son Didon lors du duel de compositeurs organisé au château de Fontainebleau en 1783. Créé le 18 novembre, Chimène ou le Cid ravit les adeptes du recentrage gluckiste sur l'expression dramatique, au premier rang desquels figure la reine Marie-Antoinette, dont Gluck avait été le professeur à Vienne. Repris avec succès l'année suivante à Paris (57 exécutions à l'Académie royale de musique), l'opéra de Sacchini tombera ensuite dans l'oubli. L'Arcal, compagnie nationale de théâtre lyrique et musical, l'exhume aujourd'hui " en recréation ". Découverte, le 14 janvier, au Théâtre de Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines avant une tournée qui passera en mars par Massy (Essonne) et Herblay (Val-d'Oise), cette production adopte le parti d'un rapprochement sur le plateau de tous les(f) acteursde l'œuvre : chanteurs et instrumentistes.
