    FRITZ HART: MUSIC FOR VIOLIN AND PIANO, VOLUME ONE by Peter Tregear Born in Brockley, South London, Fritz Bennicke Hart (1874–1949) stands as one of the more extraordinary figures of the so-called English Musical Renaissance, all the more so because he remains so little known. His mother was a piano teacher from Cornwall and his father a travelling salesman of Irish ancestry born in East Anglia. The eldest of five, Hart was not encouraged to pursue a musical career as a child, but piano lessons from his mother were later complemented by the award of a choristership at Westminster Abbey, then under the direction of Frederick Bridge – ‘Westminster Bridge’, as he was inevitably nicknamed. A year earlier Bridge had been appointed professor of harmony and counterpoint at the newly constituted Royal College of Music and in 1893 Hart would join him there as a student of piano and organ. In addition, in the years between his tenure as a chorister and his enrolling at the RCM, Hart had been introduced to both the music and the aesthetic philosophy of Richard Wagner and had also become a regular and enthusiastic audience member of the Saturday orchestral concerts held at the Crystal Palace and the RCM. It seems Hart quickly became better known at the RCM for his ardent interest in opera and music drama than for his piano-playing. Indeed, Imogen Holst credits Hart with having introduced her father, Gustav, to Wagner.1 But unlike Holst and other contemporaries, such as Ralph Vaughan Williams, John Ireland, Samuel Coleridge- Taylor and William Hurlstone, Hart did not formally study composition.

    GUY ROPARTZ, FRENCH MASTER WITH BRETON ROOTS by Peter McCallum Composer, poet, conductor, novelist and administrator of remarkable energy, Joseph Guy Marie Ropartz (1864–1955) was born – in Guingamp, Côtes-du-Nord, more or less equidistant between Brest and St Malo – into a family of intellectual and artistic breadth and strong civic commitment to the culture and history of his native Brittany. These virtues shaped his music over a long, industrious and productive career, and each of them can be found in part in music included in this recording, which consists of two large-scale suites and a number of shorter pieces. Literary and narrative affinities pervade the two suites, particularly Dans l’ombre de la montagne, which also evokes folk-styles in some of its movements. His father, Sigismond Ropartz, was a lawyer, poet and enthusiastic chronicler of Breton history. After Sigismond’s death in 1879, Joseph studied in a Jesuit college at Vannes, where he learnt the bugle, French horn, double-bass and percussion and consolidated a profound Catholic faith. In deference to his mother’s wishes, he pursued training in law at Rennes, where he met Breton writer Louis Tiercelin and other artists interested in the Breton cultural revival. Ropartz joined the Breton Regionalist Union, a cultural organisation founded in 1898 and dedicated to preserving Breton culture and regional independence. He used the words of several Breton writers in musical settings, including Anatole Le Braz and Charles le Goffic. Although admitted to the bar in 1885, he does not seem to have ever practised law as a profession.

  • LE PROPHÈTE “ a Package of New Scores Lay on My Piano, Unopened [...]
    LE PROPHÈTE “ A package of new scores lay on my piano, unopened [...]. With no small joy, we went about our little preparations; one of us opened the package, the other the piano. It was self-understood that we would begin with a piece for four hands. That, after all, is the most intimate, the most agreeable, and, within its limitations, the fullest way to make music in the home. “ Eduard Hanslick Geschichte des Concertwesens in Wien, 1869 The only way to listen to the latest symphony or opera in the nineteenth century was to either seek out a live performance or perform it at home with a piano partner, à quatre mains. Thus, an enormous amount of four-hand literature abounds from the 1820s to the 1930s. Works in transcription largely dominate this repertoire: operas, symphonies, and chamber works were adapted en masse for four hands by skilled and not so skilled musicians alike. But there were also works freshly composed in the medium, and four-handed playing could be heard in the home (its natural environment) but also on the relatively new environment of the concert stage. The ubiquity and popularity of the four- handed format meant that it crossed national, social, and economic boundaries. As such, the piano duet was a powerful cultural site in which anxieties about gender, nationality, labour, and pleasure were writ large. Adrian Daub in Four- Handed Monsters: Four-Hand Piano Playing and Nineteenth-Century Culture has brilliantly surveyed nineteenth-century and early twentieth-century novels for traces of how the piano duet interacted with those who played and listened to them.

  • Volume I | 1–47 Classic the Music You 100 Can’T Live Without
    485 6245 4CDs | VOLUME I | 1–47 CLASSIC THE MUSIC YOU 100 CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT Music you can’t live without? Really? Maybe you’ve had the same thought. It’s all very well to love music, but it’s just noise, just a sound. Surely it’s a stretch to think that there’s music you can’t live without? I don’t agree. Music continues to be a unique force in human life. Sure, it’s just sound. But it’s sound that does so much. It amplifies our emotions – good and bad. It helps us feel close to those we love. And – crucially – it’s there for us when we’ve stopped feeling anything at all. When we’re numb. But what is the music you can’t live without? It’s a question we at ABC Classic asked you, and it was so wonderful to get your responses and hear your ideas. Thank you so much. We asked the question in May 2021, hot on the heels of a year that... well, you’ve read all the rhetoric, heard all the adjectives. Reading your comments and hearing your stories removed any doubt that music is an essential part of life – especially in these times. And you voted in numbers greater than ever before, showing your gratitude for this lifeblood we all share. The music you can’t live without. It ranges from the ancient, to that written in our own time, maybe by people you could bump into in the supermarket. But all of it so relevant and vital.

    P CHARLES-VALENTIN ALKAN AND HIS RECUEILS DE CHANTS, VOLUME TWO by Peter McCallum Alkan’s ive books of Chants were written over a iteen-year period from 1857 to 1872 during his most artistically mature and productive phase, ater he emerged from a period of self-imposed social and artistic seclusion. In spite of their expressive variety, they are uniied both internally and over the complete ive- volume cycle, the ith book returning to some of the characteristics of the irst book, ending with a relective summary.

It is a characteristic of all of Alkan’s best music that – although he works within the harmonic and tonal language, the range of genres and the stylistic parameters of the nineteenth century – he brings to each of them a singular personality deined by the sense of far-sighted clarity that comes with isolation. Such isolation inds beautiful, poignant and varied expression in the G minor Barcarolles that conclude each of the ive volumes of Chants. His sentimental moods (oten found in the E major pieces that open each set) are tinged with yearning and a sense that such comfort is for others; instead, as later with Mahler and Shostakovich, he is haunted by visions of parody, the banal and the grotesque. As seen sometimes in the third number of each set, each one a vigorous piece in A major, he oten uses these elements to create a keen edge to his artistic tone of voice.

  • The Reception of Erik Satie's Gymnopédies
    The Reception of Erik Satie’s Gymnopédies: Audience, Identity, and Commercialization Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements of the Master of Arts in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Billie Eaves, M. M. Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2011 Thesis Committee: Danielle Fosler‐Lussier, Advisor Arved Ashby Robert Sorton Copyright by Billie Eaves 2011 Abstract Erik Satie’s Trois Gymnopédies (1888) embody the aesthetic synthesis of high and low musical culture, which was the premise of artistic ventures at the Chat Noir, the cabaret frequented by Satie in the 1880s. The Gymnopédies maintained but softened distinct aesthetic boundaries by combining modernist and popular musical elements, making the pieces accessible to both artistic and bourgeois audiences. In subsequent performances, the popular musical elements more dominantly informed the identity of the works, and even though Claude Debussy’s 1896 orchestration of the Gymnopédies succeeded in elevating the status of the pieces, this prevailing perception led to aesthetic debates regarding the justification for including the works on concert programs. With the advent of recordings, the Gymnopédies attained a broader, less musically literate audience, and by the 1950s, commoditization and marketing campaigns targeting amateur audiences assigned new functions and meanings to the Gymnopédies that were wholly separate from intensive listening to the pieces as abstract, modernist music. For example, the pieces were marketed for such purposes as sleep, exercise, weddings, or light accompaniment to everyday activities. With experimental transcriptions, especially the arrangement by Blood, Sweat and Tears, Satie’s aesthetic identity was completely supplanted by influential performers.
