An art and a craft brought to such a superlative degree as that in the creation of Chick- ering Pianos, reflects credit upon the ambitions of Americans.

This symphony, known to some as "The Giant Symphony," was performed for the first time at a Giirzenich concert at Cologne, October 18, 1904. The composer conducted. There was a difference of opinion concerning the merits of the work. A visiting critic from Munich wrote that there was breathless silence after the fiist movement, "which proved more effectively than tremendous applause that the public was conscious of the presence of genius." It is stated that after the finale there was much applause; there was also hissing. The symphony was played for the first time in the United States by the Cincinnati Orchestra at Cincinnati on March 25, 1905. The first performance in Boston was at a Symphony Concert, Febru- 9^ry 3, 1906. Mr. Gericke conducted, f A second performance was requested, and it took place on February 24, 1906. The third per- formance was on April 19, 1913, led by Dr. Muck, and the fourth, also led by Dr. Muck, was on November 22, 19 13. When the symphony was performed in certain German cities, as at Dresden, January 27, 1905, at a symphony concert of the Royal Orches- * Mahler's parents, as he himself said, believed July i the correct date, but the papers relating to his birth-date were lost. t Mr. Gericke then made cuts and changed the instrumentation of certain passages. Dr. Muck pro- duces the symphony as Mahler wrote it. ROI LDEM DAYS TRANSCRIPTIONS FOR VIOLIN AND PIANOFORTE Menuett in G from the works of by Alfred M®faJ F.

SCHMIDT 120 Boylston St., Boston, Mass. For Sale by all Music Dealers 1027 — tra, and at Berlin, February 20, 1905, at a Philharmonic concert, the programme books contained no analytical notes and no argument of any sort. The compilers thus obeyed the wish of the composer. Mr. Ludwig vSchiedermair tells us, in his "Gustav Mahler: eine biogi aphisch- kritische Wiirdigung" (]>ipsic, Hermann Seemann Nachfolger, 5. d.), of Mahler's abhorrence of all programme books for concert use, and he relates this anecdote. Mahler conducted a performance of his Sym- phony in C minor at a concert of the Munich Hugo Wolf Society. After the concert there was a supper, and in the course of the conver- sation some one mentioned programme books. "Then was it as though lightning flashed in a joyous, sunny landscape. Mahler's eyes were more brilliant than ever, his forehead wrinkled, he sprang in excite- ment from the table and exclaimed in passionate tones: 'Away with programme books, which breed false ideas! The audience should be left to its own thoughts over the work that is performing; it should not be forced to read during the performance; it should not be preju- diced in any manner. If a composer by his music forces on his hearers the sensations which streamed through his mind, then he reaches his goal. The speech of tones has then approached the language of words, but it is far more capable of expression and declaration.' And Mahler raised his glass and emptied it with 'Pereat den Programmen!'" Yet Mr. Mahler's enthusiastic admirer and partisan, Ernst Otto Nodnagel, of Darmstadt, contributed to Die Musik (second November number and first December number of 1904) a technical analysis of the Fifth Symphony, an analysis of twenty-three large octavo pages, with a beautiful motto from Schiller. This analysis, published by Peters, and sold for the sum of thirty pfennig, is within reach of the humblest. The symphony was completed in the spring of 1903. It was written in 1901-02 at his little country house near Maiernigg on Lake Worther. Other works of this date are the " Kindertotenlieder " and other songs with Riickert's verses. The symphony is scored for four flutes (the third and fourth interchangeable with piccolo), three oboes, three clarinets (the third interchangeable with bass clarinet), two bassoons, one double- bassoon, six horns (in third movement a horn obbligato), four trumpets, thiee trombones, one bass tuba, kettledrums, snare-drum, bass drum, cymbals, triangle. Glockenspiel, gong, harp, and strings. The movements are as follows : Part I. 1. Funeral march, C-sharp minor, 2-2. With measured step. With marked precision. Like a funeral train. 2. A minor, 4-4.

  • 100 Percent Americanism in the Concert Hall: the Minneapolis Symphony in the Great War
    100 Percent Americanism in the Concert Hall: The Minneapolis Symphony in the Great War Michael J. Pfeifer In 1918 a Minnesota music critic assessed a Minneapolis Symphony concert warmly, noting that the orchestra’s recent “racial house-cleansing” – a purge of some of the orchestra’s German and Austrian-born musicians – had not com- promised the quality of the ensemble’s playing. While the critic believed that “like gasoline and whiskey, music and war really ought not to have anything in particular to do with each other”, he nonetheless judged it well worthwhile from a “standpoint of musical interest” to hear the orchestra “magnificently” perform the national anthems of the Allied nations that opened the concert. Earlier, at the beginning of the 1918–1919 season, members of the Minneapolis Symphony had been required to sign loyalty oaths to the United States, while a cellist had been compelled to leave the orchestra for a period because he sup- posedly had hung portraits of the Kaiser and his wife over his fireplace (these were actually pictures of “the deceased Austrian emperor Franz Josef and his wife”).1 While the Minneapolis Symphony and its Munich-born founder Emil Oberhoffer (1867–1933) did not encounter the extreme repercussions that led to the arrest, internment, and deportation of Karl Muck (1859–1940) and Ernst Kunwald (1868–1939), respectively the German and Austrian conductors of the Boston Symphony and the Cincinnati Symphony,2 a significant nativist, anti- German, backlash did mark the orchestra’s experience of the latter years of the Great War. The upper Midwestern state of Minnesota was substantially German in nativity and ancestry at the outbreak of the war, which may have mitigated some of the harshly jingoistic reaction that German ­symphonic * I am grateful to Frank Jacob and William H.

Prelude (a: December 11, 1927); Act 1-Transformation & Grail Scenes (b: July/ August, 1927); Act 2-Flower Maidens' Scene (b: July/August, 1927); Act 3 (a: with G. Pistor, C. Bronsgeest, L. Hofmann; slightly abridged; October 10-11and13-14, 1928). Karl Muck conducted Parsifal at every Bayreuth Festival from 1901 to 1930. His immediate predecessor was Franz Fischer, the Munich conductor who had alternated with Hermann Levi during the premiere season of 1882 under Wagner's own supervi­ sion. And Muck's retirement, soon after Cosima and Siegfried Wagner died, brought another changing of the guard; Wilhelm Furtwangler came to the Green Hill for the next festival, at which Parsifal was controversially assigned to Arturo Toscanini. It is difficult if not impossible to tell how far Muck's interpretation of Parsifal reflected traditions originating with Wagner himself. Muck's act-by-act timings from 1901 mostly fall within the range defined in 1882 by Levi and Fischer, but Act 1 was decidedly slower-1:56, compared with Levi's 1:47 and Fischer's 1:50. Muck's timing is closer to that of Felix Mottl, who had been a musical assistant in 1882, and of Hans Knappertsbusch in his first and slowest Bayreuth Parsifal. But in later summers Muck speeded up to the more "normal" timings of 1:50 and 1:47, and the extensive recordings he made in 1927-8, now republished by Opal, show that he could be not only "sehr langsam" but also "bewegt," according to the score's requirements.

  • The Boston Symphony Orchestra Seiji Ozawa, Music Director & Conductor Peter Serkin, Piano
    PETER LIEBERSON New World Records 80325 Piano Concerto The Boston Symphony Orchestra Seiji Ozawa, music director & conductor Peter Serkin, piano Peter Lieberson was born in New York City on October 25, 1946; he lives in Newton Center, Massachusetts, and is currently teaching at Harvard. His Piano Concerto is one of twelve works commissioned by the Boston Symphony Orchestra for its centennial in 1981. From the beginning the piano solo part was intended for Peter Serkin, who gave the first performance with Seiji Ozawa and the Boston Symphony Orchestra on April 21, 1983, in Symphony Hall, Boston. The youngest of the 12 composers commissioned by the Boston Symphony Orchestra for its centennial, Peter Lieberson grew up in a family where music was ubiquitous. Both his parents were important figures in the artistic world. His father, Goddard Lieberson, himself a trained composer, was perhaps best known as the most influential record-company executive in the artistic world. Peter's mother, under the stage name Vera Zorina, was a ballerina with the Ballets Russes de Monte Carlo and later with George Balanchine, before she became known as a specialist in spoken narration. Through a job at New York's classical music radio station WNCN, Lieberson came to know Aaron Copland and Virgil Thomson. But the crucial connection came when Copland invited Milton Babbitt to do a program. Until that time the major influence on Lieberson's music was Stravinsky. Now he began to study informally with Babbitt. At Babbitt's suggestion Lieberson chose Columbia when he decided to pursue graduate studies; there he worked with Charles Wuorinen (the third of his three principal teachers would be Donald Martino, with whom he studied at Brandeis University).

My visit to your factory and the demonstration there given me of your unique system of pianoforte construction have con- vinced me of the ideally high standard you have set before you, while my experience with your pianos at my home as well as on the concert stage has proved to me how completely you have attained that artistic ideal.
