" 1 love the Baldivin Piano. V^-^^ rn- a-^-v^j Vladimir de Pachmann loves the Baldwin piano. Through the medium of Baldwin tone, this most lyric of contemporary pianists discovers complete revealment of his musical dreams. For a generation de Pachmann has played the Baldwin; on the concert stage and in his home. That love- liness and purity of tone which appeals to de Pach- mann and to every exacting musician is found in all Baldwins, alike in the Concert Grand, in the smaller Grands, in the Uprights. The history of the Baldwin is the history of an ideal. jfctitarin AM. Hume Music Co. 194-196 Boylston Street Boston E. F. ALBEE THEATRE PROVIDENCE FORTY-SIXTH SEASON, 1926-1927 INC.

CHURCH TICKET AGENCY, 54 Exchange Street AYLSWORTH TRAVEL SERVICE, 36 Weybosset Street 6 Concerto, G major, No. 3 (of the Brandenburg Set) for three violins, three violas, three violoncellos, with bass Johann Sebastian Bach (Born at Eisenach, March 21, 1685; died at Leipsic, July 28, 1750) The autograph title of this work is as follows : "Concerto 3 a tre Violini, tre Viole, e tre Violoncelli col Basso peril Cembalo." When the Concerto was played by the Boston Symphony Orchestra on May 2, 1914, Mr. DeVito was the pianist. The first movement in a somewhat different form was used by Bach in the cantata, "Ich liebe den Hochsten von ganzem Gemiithe." Bach added for this cantata two horns and three oboes obbligati. I. G- major, 2-2. The strings, divided into three groups, begin with a lively theme. The movement consists of developments in many forms of portions of this theme ; for example, the motive of the first measure is used with a new figure in opposition ; measures 4, 5, 6 are contrapuntally treated. A half-cadence on D introduces the working-out of motives from the third measure of the theme, while the initial motive of the first measure appears in violoncellos and double-basses, until the chief theme leads to a cadence, G major.

PLACE THE PLACE—IT'S PLACE'S PLACE" new episode is based on the second part of the second measure. When G major again comes, a new theme is opposed to the chief theme. The voices alternate in double counterpoint. At last the movement ends with the chief theme. "One passage," says Spitta, "is as fine as anything in the whole realm of German instrumental music. The chief subject is given out in the second violin part; the first violin then starts an entirely new subject, which next appears in the second violin, drawing in more and more instruments, and is at last taken up by the third violin and third viola and given out weightily on their G strings ; this is the signal for a flood of sound to be set free from all sides, in the swirl of which all polyphony is drowned for several measures." Spitta refers here to a place near the middle of the movement. Scene, "Non piu! Tutto Ascoltae" and Rondo "Non Temer, Amato Bene," with Solo Violin .

  • String Quartet in E Minor, Op 83
    String Quartet in E minor, op 83 A quartet in three movements for two violins, viola and cello: 1 - Allegro moderato; 2 - Piacevole (poco andante); 3 - Allegro molto. Approximate Length: 30 minutes First Performance: Date: 21 May 1919 Venue: Wigmore Hall, London Performed by: Albert Sammons, W H Reed - violins; Raymond Jeremy - viola; Felix Salmond - cello Dedicated to: The Brodsky Quartet Elgar composed two part-quartets in 1878 and a complete one in 1887 but these were set aside and/or destroyed. Years later, the violinist Adolf Brodsky had been urging Elgar to compose a string quartet since 1900 when, as leader of the Hallé Orchestra, he performed several of Elgar's works. Consequently, Elgar first set about composing a String Quartet in 1907 after enjoying a concert in Malvern by the Brodsky Quartet. However, he put it aside when he embarked with determination on his long-delayed First Symphony. It appears that the composer subsequently used themes intended for this earlier quartet in other works, including the symphony. When he eventually returned to the genre, it was to compose an entirely fresh work. It was after enjoying an evening of chamber music in London with Billy Reed’s quartet, just before entering hospital for a tonsillitis operation, that Elgar decided on writing the quartet, and he began it whilst convalescing, completing the first movement by the end of March 1918. He composed that first movement at his home, Severn House, in Hampstead, depressed by the war news and debilitated from his operation. By May, he could move to the peaceful surroundings of Brinkwells, the country cottage that Lady Elgar had found for them in the depth of the Sussex countryside.

  • Tertis's Viola Version of Elgar's Cello Concerto by Anthony Addison Special to Clevelandclassical
    Preview Heights Chamber Orchestra conductor's notes: Tertis's viola version of Elgar's Cello Concerto by Anthony Addison Special to ClevelandClassical An old adage suggested that violists were merely vio- linists-in-decline. That was before Lionel Tertis! He was born in 1876 of musical parents who had come to England from Poland and Russia and, at three years old, he started playing the piano. At six he performed in public, but had to be locked in a room to make him practice, a procedure that has actually fostered many an international virtuoso. At thirteen, with the agree- ment of his parents, he left home to earn his living in music playing in pickup groups at summer resorts, accompanying a violinist, and acting as music attendant at a lunatic asylum. +41:J:-:/1?<1>95@@1041?@A0510-@(>5:5@E;88131;2!A?5/@-75:3B5;85:-?45?

Fate intervened when fellow stu- dents wanted to form a string quartet. Tertis volunteered to play viola, borrowed an in- strument, loved the rich quality of its lowest string and thereafter turned the old adage up- side down: a not very obviously gifted violinist becoming a world class violist. But, until the viola attained respectability in Tertis’s hands, composers were reluctant to write for the instrument.

  • Cello Concerto. Creating a Classic
    Cello Concerto. Creating a Classic How Elgar Came to Write the Concerto Most of Elgar's music was written between 1890 and 1914, part of the flowering of European art that preceded the Great War. The Enigma variations, Gerontius and the two symphonies belong to the same world as the poetry of Yeats and Rilke, the plays of Galsworthy and Shaw, the music of Strauss and Puccini. All of these artists created new works after 1914, but the world they came from, and which had nourished them, was gone. The scale of the war was apocalyptic, and, before it happened, few people had thought such destruction were even possible. In Britain, for example, the public's notion of modern warfare had been formed by the Boer War, in which 22,000 British troops had died over a period of two-and-a-half years. In this new conflict, nearly that many British soldiers were killed on a single day: July 1, 1916, the first day of the Battle of the Somme. Over the course of four years, more than 900,000 people from Britain and the Empire countries lost their lives - not only men, but women, too, serving as nurses. Submarines and long-range artillery made no exceptions on grounds of gender. Even as the conflict raged, many people recognized that they were now living in a changed society. Writing in 1916, D.H. Lawrence felt that two thousand years of civilisation were collapsing before his eyes: "so much beauty and pathos of old things passing away and no new things coming: my God, it breaks my soul." These were the circumstances when Edward Elgar checked into a London nursing home in March of 1918 to have his tonsils removed.

The primary research contribution of this study was to stylistically analyze, compare and contrast eight pieces composed by Lane during his career, with a focus on discovering the extent to which Lane developed his stylistic features as an adaptable and eclectic composer. Four of these works were completed early in his career during his two-year residency (1959-1961) in Rochester, New York and Lexington, Kentucky as a member of the Young Composers Project (YCP), while the other four works were completed during the last decade of his life (1994-2004). Choral, chamber ensemble, string orchestra and wind band works were selected to represent a broad overview of Lane’s repertoire for each of these four genres, across educational, community, and professional levels.
