Once I discovered the instrument’s wealth of possibilities during my first lessons and my years at the conservatory, I quickly set myself a goal: I wanted to promote the harp as a solo instrument, wherever and however I could. I wanted to do this not only through the performance of well-known pieces, but also by encouraging contemporary composers to produce new harp compositions. For my first Channel Classics CD, I have chosen a combination of three 20th-century French masters. The Parisian firm of Érard, in particular, created technical innovations to the harp which considerably broadened the instrument’s (chromatic) capabilities; these innovations, followed by the first ‘minor’ masterpieces by Debussy and Ravel, soon made Paris the epicentre of a veritable harp explosion. More and more well-trained harpists appeared, and so did composers who became interested in the harp. Even though André Caplet did not compose much for the harp, the ‘Deux Divertissements’ are now an indispensable part of the repertoire. They are one of the harpist’s ‘musts’. And I cannot imagine why Jacques Ibert’s ‘Six Pièces’, those surprisingly colourful miniatures – are so rarely performed in their entirety. French-American Carlos Salzedo occupies a special place in the world of the harp. Famous both as a performer and teacher, he was immensely influential.

Zo wordt zijn pianoconcert nog geregeld uitgevoerd, maar zijn viool- en celloconcert behoren niet echt tot het stan- daard repertoire. Een doorn in het oog van het illustere trio Isabelle Faust, Jean-Guihen Queyras en Alexander Melnikov. Tijdens een tournee met een van de drie piano- trio’s op het programma besloten zij Schumann volledig te rehabiliteren met een trilogie: drie cd’s met elk een van de concerten gekoppeld aan een pianotrio. Deze eerste cd van het trio pleit meteen voor het gelijk van het drietal. Het Vioolconcert en het Derde pianotrio worden gespeeld op historische instrumenten en onthullen alles wat Schu- mann tot Schumann maakt. Heerlijke lyriek, soms aan waanzin grenzende dramatiek, en in alles prachtige mu- ziek die door de verfijnde klank van de darmsnaren en de schitterende begeleiding van het Freiburger Barockor- chester een prachtig breekbare intimiteit krijgt. Zo kwets- baar, open en eerlijk hoorde u Schumann nog nooit.

  • MTO 22.4: Gotham, Pitch Properties of the Pedal Harp
    Volume 22, Number 4, December 2016 Copyright © 2016 Society for Music Theory Pitch Properties of the Pedal Harp, with an Interactive Guide * Mark R. H. Gotham and Iain A. D. Gunn KEYWORDS: harp, pitch, pitch-class set theory, composition, analysis ABSTRACT: This article is aimed at two groups of readers. First, we present an interactive guide to pitch on the pedal harp for anyone wishing to teach or learn about harp pedaling and its associated pitch possibilities. We originally created this in response to a pedagogical need for such a resource in the teaching of composition and orchestration. Secondly, for composers and theorists seeking a more comprehensive understanding of what can be done on this unique instrument, we present a range of empirical-theoretical observations about the properties and prevalence of pitch structures on the pedal harp and the routes among them. This is particularly relevant to those interested in extended-tonal and atonal repertoires. A concluding section discusses prospective theoretical developments and analytical applications. 1 of 21 Received June 2016 I. Introduction [1.1] Most instruments have a relatively clear pitch universe: some have easy access to continuous pitch (unfretted string instruments, voices, the trombone), others are constrained by the 12-tone chromatic scale (most keyboards), and still others are limited to notes of the diatonic or pentatonic scales (many non-Western-orchestral members of the xylophone family). The pedal harp, by contrast, falls somewhere between those last two categories: it is organized around a diatonic configuration, but can reach all 12 notes of the chromatic scale, and most (but not all) pitch-class sets.

    Foto: Heike Fischer „Ich habe nie etwas Sinnvolleres gemacht.“ Lars Vogt, Pianist e e a v a N a d e N : o t o F Eine Initiative von Künstlern, um Schüler an klassische Musik heranzuführen Leidenschaft und Begeisterung Wenn Lars Vogt über Rhapsody in School spricht, spürt man sofort, wie sehr ihm das Projekt am Herzen liegt. Die Idee kam dem Weltklasse-Pianisten beim Gespräch mit seinen Künstlerfreunden: auch sie allesamt Ausnahmekönner und weltweit anerkannte Solisten. Dieser Gedankenaustausch bildete die Basis für das Projekt, das während der vergangenen Jahre rasant Fahrt aufgenommen hat und heute eines der erfolgreichsten Musikvermittlungsprojekte im deutschsprachigen Raum ist. Einzigartig! Die Spitzenmusiker kommen zu den Schülern in die Schule! Eine Initiative von Künstlern für Schüler Eine Idee, die begeistert, entflammt und nachwirkt WIN-WIN-WIN Das Erfolgsgeheimnis von Rhapsody in School sind die begeisternden Erlebnisse für alle Beteiligten: Die Schüler erleben hautnah, wie sich Liebe und Begeisterung für eine Sache auswirken können. Die Lehrer beobachten an ihren Schülern eine oft ungeahnte Neugierde und Emotionalität. Die Künstler erleben, wie ihre Leidenschaft Funken schlägt. Der Kontakt mit dem jungen Publikum ist unmittelbar und ungefiltert. „Klassische Musik trifft bei den Schülern immer auf offene Herzen, auch wenn sie keine Erfahrung damit haben“ , sagt der Schulleiter der „Anna-Freud-Schule“ in Köln, Ludwig Gehlen. Als Mitglied des Vereins „Musiker Hautnah e.V.“ kennt er das Projekt von Beginn an. Wie alle anderen Förderer und Organisatoren engagiert er sich ehrenamtlich und bildet damit eine der Säulen des Erfolgs.
