JUDD, Assistant Manager *UHE INSTRUMENT OF THE IMMORTALS QOMETIMES people who want a Steinway think it economi- cal to buy a cheaper piano in the beginning and wait for a Steinway. Usually this is because they do not realize with what ease Franz Liszt at his Steinway and convenience a Steinway can be bought. This is evidenced by the great number of people who come to exchange some other piano in partial payment for a Steinway, and say: "If I had only known about your terms I would have had a Steinway long ago!" You may purchase a new Steinway piano with a cash deposit of 10%, and the bal- ance will be extended over a period of two years.

Arabesques on By the Beautiful Blue Danube/Adolf Schulz-Evler LINER NOTES At the end of Johann Strauss’ 1875 operetta Die Fledermaus, all of the characters drink a toast to the real culprit of the story—“Champagner hat's verschuldet”—a fitting conclusion to the most renowned and potent evocation of the carefree life of post-revolution imperial Vienna. Strauss' sparkling score (never mind that the libretto is an amalgam of German and French sources), infused with that most famous of Viennese dances, the waltz, lent eloquent expression to the transitory atmosphere of confidence and prosperity induced by the Hapsburg monarchs. “The Emporer Franz Joseph I,” it would later be said, "only reigned until the death of Johann Strauss." And what could have provided more perfect source material than the music of Strauss, for the pastiche creations of the illustrious composer-pianists who roamed the world in the latter 19th and early 20th centuries, forever seeking vehicles with which to exploit the possibilities of their instrument and display their pianistic prowess? This disc presents a succession of such indulgent enterprises, all fashioned from Strauss’ music, for four notable composer-pianists: Moriz Rosenthal, Karl Tausig, Leopold Godowsky, and Adolf Schulz-Evler.

  • The Macdowell Colony at Peterborough
    THE MACDOWELL COLONY AT PETERBOROUGH By EDWIN CARTY RANCK Downloaded from GROUP of scientific and dogmatic gentlemen once argued solemnly and emphatically that it would be impossible A for a vessel propelled by steam to cross the Atlantic Ocean. It had never been done before; it could not be done now. Un- http://mq.oxfordjournals.org/ fortunately, however, in the very midst of their arguments, word came that one of these "new-fangled" steamships had crossed the Atlantic. I have always regretted that I could not have been there with a pocket kodak to take snapshots of those conscientious objectors arguing against the possibility of a thing that was happening. "Well, what is the moral?" asks somebody. Of course, there must be a moral and there must always be somebody that wants a at New York University on May 10, 2015 moral. So I am going to give the moral first, as a sort of intro- duction to this article. Here it is: Don't argue that a thing can't be done until you find out first whether it has been done. And even then don't be too sure, for some one might do it. The world moves swiftly nowadays! And if you ever hear a little group of conscientious musical and literary objectors arguing, with the cocksure tone so common to musical and literary objectors, that no creative art can ever •come out of a "colony," you can silence their arguments by the simple question: "How about the MacDowell Colony at Peter- borough, N. H.?" If they know anything at all about the Mac- Dowell Colony, they will be forced to qualify their objections with "Well, of course, that is the exception!" And if they don't know anything about the MacDowell Colony, you can tell them how the dream of an American musical genius has come true and what a radiance it sheds upon the lives and work of American creative artists.

Formed in 2015 by Artistic Director Luke Fleming, MCP comprises an impressive roster of musicians who all come from the tradition of great music making at the Marlboro Music Festival, Steans Institute at Ravinia, Music@Menlo, Yellow Barn Chamber Music Festival, and Perlman Music Program, and are former students of the Curtis Institute, Juilliard School, Colburn School, New England Conservatory, and Yale School of Music. MCP was recently praised in Strings Magazine for “a fascinating program concept…. It felt refreshingly like an auditory version of a vertical wine tasting.” The article went on to applaud MCP for “an intensely wrought and burnished performance…. Overall, I wished I could put them on repeat.” At the core of MCP’s inspiration is its members’ joy in playing this richly varied repertory with longtime friends and colleagues with whom they have since they were students.
