  • JULIUS REUBKE the Works for Piano & Organ
    JULIUS REUBKE The Works for Piano & Organ Paolo Marzocchi & Luca Scandali (CPO, 777 467 – 2, 2009) - Arte organaria e organistica, n. 73, ottobre – dicembre 2009 Questa proposta discografica merita apprezzamento in quanto, come primo elemento, permette un ascolto parallelo delle due opere più significative e monumentali di Julius Reubke (Hausneindorf, 1834 - Pillnitz, 1858) – la Sonata in Si bemolle minore per pianoforte (1856) e Il salmo 94. Sonata in do minore per organo (1857) –, due veri e propri «poemi sinfonici» scritti direttamente sotto l’influsso e il magistero delle innovative «Fantasie rapsodiche» (secondo la definizione di Wilibald Gurlitt) del suo insegnante Franz Liszt (1811-1886). La conoscenza degli affreschi delineati nel pianismo ‘orchestrale’ della Sonata in Si bemolle minore costituisce una condizione preliminare indispensabile per gli organisti che intendono affrontare coscientemente la scrittura organistica dinamica, flessibile ed ‘espressiva’ della grande Sonata in do minore, e viceversa. Altro motivo di apprezzamento va indicato nel fatto che il CD raccoglie l’«opera completa» per pianoforte e per organo del geniale Reubke, allievo prediletto di Liszt a Weimar dal 1854 al 1856; tra i brani organistici figurano un Trio in Mi bemolle maggiore e un Adagio in Mi minore (brano qui in prima registrazione, recentemente ritrovato in un album appartenuto all’insegnante di Liszt Marie von Sayn-Wittgenstein, prima versione della sezione centrale della grande Sonata per organo). Altra ragione di positiva valutazione risiede nell’alta qualità interpretativa del pianista Paolo Marzocchi e dell’organista Luca Scandali, la cui levatura magistrale tecnico-musicale si può pienamente constatare nella resa convincente delle due colossali e difficili Sonate.

  • Donald R. Oakes in an ORGAN RECITAL SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1969 • 4:15 P.M
    THE COLLEGE OF IDAHO MUSIC DEPARTMENT and THE FIRST UNITED METHODIST CHURCH present Donald R. Oakes in an ORGAN RECITAL SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1969 • 4:15 P.M. JEWETT CHAPEL-AUDITORIUM PROGRAM PARTITA on "Nun komm der Heiden Heiland" Hugo Distler I Toccata (1908-1942) II Chorale mit Variationen Ill Chaconne IV Toccata Hugo Distler is one of the most exciting of the pre-World War II German church music composers. His style is admittedly neo-Barque and the present composition is exemplary. The Partita is framed by short, identical Toccatas, built out of the opening motif of the chorale tune, which enclose the Chorale with its seven variations and the Chaconne. Throughout the variations the chorale tune, nearly always appearing straight and undecorated, is treated like a Cantus Firmus, but each new variation brings a new type of filigree to the contrapuntal text which surrounds it. In the last variation, however, only the harmonic texture is recognizable as belonging to the chorale. The Chaconne, comprising eighteen additional variations, utilizes only the first phase of the chorale for the ostinato and builds gradually but inevitably to the dynamic climax which coincides with the concluding Toccata. TRIO SONATA IV, in EMINOR J. S. Bach I Adagio-Vivace (1685-1750) II Andante Ill Un poco Allegro The Fourth Trio Sonata is from a group of six Bach wrote for the instruction of his eldest son, Friedemann, and possibly also for his next son, Carl Philip Emmanuel. Modern editions stem from two extant manuscript copies of differing dates, the earlier from Friedemann's possession, and the later from Emmanuel's.

  • THE ORGAN MUSIC of LISZT by ZOLTÁN GÁRDONYI
    THE ORGAN MUSIC OF LISZT by ZOLTÁN GÁRDONYI According to Raabe's catalogue, the number of works by Liszt approaches 700 and according to Searle this round figure is actually some seventy more than this; his forty works for the organ make up a negligible proportion of his oeuvre. Indeed, of these forty works there are scarcely ten which were originally intended for the organ. Another twenty are organ transcriptions of works Liszt initially intended for some other medium (orchestra, or voice, or something else), and about a dozen are transcriptions of works by other composers, originally written for some other medium. Nevertheless, a comparison with the number of organ works by contemporary composers of his stature will reveal that perhaps only Mendelssohn wrote a similar number of pieces for the instrument, while Schumann has left scarcely any mark on the history of organ music; Berlioz, Chopin and Wagner have left no mark at all. Before them, the Viennese classics composed no works for solo organ either.1 This seems to fully justify asking why, after Bach the instrument has been dominated by a few transitional or minor composers, whose names by now have been more or less forgotten.2 Classical music had reflected universal human ideals irrespective of religious differences, the organ with its liturgical restrictions, and as an instrument put almost exclusively to church use, became outdated. Furthermore, from the second half of the 18th century onwards, the ideal of sound changed in music: the rigid, impersonal sound of the organ proved unsuitable for flexible, dynamic transitions called for by empfindsam music playing.

Skinner Organ at the Church of the Transfiguration has been built in such a way that the pipes run down the north and south aisles of the church, creating a surround-sound effect for the listener. The placement of the pipes also provides sound direction, and gives a sense of the building singing as the voices come from various divisions spanning the length of the church. This effect breathes life into the music of Illuminations, painting the texts with a broad palette of sound, color, and direction. This instrument is the only one in the world with this design.

  • Neue Zeitschrift Für Musik (Leipzig, 1845-1868) Introduction by Peter Sühring and Alexander Staub
    Neue Zeitschrift für Musik (Leipzig, 1845-1868) Introduction by Peter Sühring and Alexander Staub I. General Information The Neue Zeitschrift für Musik [New newspaper for music], with the subtitle Verein von Künstlern und Kunstfreunden [Association of Artists and Art Delights] was first published in Leipzig by Robert Friese in 1834, and continues publication to the present day. The founder, Robert Schumann, was its editor from April 3, 1834 until his resignation on July 1, 1844. Oswald Lorenz then served as editor until the end of 1844 at which time Franz Brendel purchased the journal and became its editor, producing his first issue on January 1, 1845. The present publication deals with the NZM’s during the so-called Brendel years namely, 1845 to 1868, vols. 22 to 64. From 1845 to 1850, NZM was issued twice weekly and from 1851 once weekly.1 II. The relative importance and historical place of the NZM Under Brendel, the NZM quickly became a publication promoting a specific philosophical and ideological concept of music, namely the “Gesamtkunstwerk” [Complete art work] of the future. This position is often expressed in the journal in a tendentious manner, with one-sided absoluteness and claims of totalitarian truth. Franz Brendel strongly supported this aesthetic position as that which should be adopted by the “Deutscher Tonkünstlerverband” [Association of German sound artists] and later by the “Allgemeiner Deutscher Musikverein” [General German music association]. Preceding the 1848 revolution, the NZM supported the cultural struggle of the German “Vormärz”, arguing for greater artistic and intellectual independence from the conservative musical taste of the socially privileged nobility.
