After a few years of nomadic exis- tence, the family settled in Mjölby, where Axel went to school. His father was an inventor by nature and his creativity was inherited by his son. From his early boyhood, he was able to play several instruments by ear: mouth organ, small accordion, mandoline and piano. In junior school he played together with a couple of class-mates, and they often performed at class parties. As a schoolboy, Axel developed into an impressive drawer, he was interested in astronomy and dreamt of becoming an engineer or an architect. The shift towards classical music came in 1942, when the boy’s piano teacher – after having tried in vain to arouse his interest in operetta and popular music – presented him with the slow movement from Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata. -

Analysing the Brand-Building of Einojuhani Rautavaara from the 1950S to 2010S
How to Build a Brand for a Composer: Analysing the Brand-building of Einojuhani Rautavaara from the 1950s to 2010s Joel Valkila Bachelor’s Thesis Degree Programme in International Business… 2020 Abstract 20 May, 2020 Author(s) Joel Valkila Degree programme International Business Report/thesis title Number of pages How to Build a Brand for a Composer: Analysing the Brand-build- and attachment ing of Einojuhani Rautavaara from the 1950s to 2010s pages 95 The aim of this study was to analyse the brand building of Einojuhani Rautavaara (1928– 2016), one of the most successful names in Finnish music exports of the last decades. The purpose is to collect a resource on how composers, publishers, record companies and other affiliates can support the personal branding and promotion of music artists and com- posers. For this qualitative study, Rautavaara’s own writings were used as primary data and com- bined with secondary data from archival and documentary research. Interviews with indi- viduals from the music industry were also conducted. This information enables us to see in detail the marketing efforts on Rautavaara’s music that intensified since the 1990s, and how they affected the composer’s brand. The analysis of the composer’s brand also in- cludes, besides various branding theories, the composer’s sonic and visual branding. This study can be a helpful resource for artists, composers, recording companies and pub- lishers in enabling them to identify features that can be of benefit in marketing and brand- ing efforts. Key findings of this study suggest that building a brand for an artist, such as a composer, is a long-term process that requires time and effort. -

Marco Polo – the Label of Discovery
Marco Polo – The Label of Discovery Doubt was expressed by his contemporaries as to the truth of Marco Polo’s account of his years at the court of the Mongol Emperor of China. For some he was known as a man of a million lies, and one recent scholar has plausibly suggested that the account of his travels was a fiction inspired by a family dispute. There is, though, no doubt about the musical treasures daily uncovered by the Marco Polo record label. To paraphrase Marco Polo himself: All people who wish to know the varied music of men and the peculiarities of the various regions of the world, buy these recordings and listen with open ears. The original concept of the Marco Polo label was to bring to listeners unknown compositions by well-known composers. There was, at the same time, an ambition to bring the East to the West. Since then there have been many changes in public taste and in the availability of recorded music. Composers once little known are now easily available in recordings. Marco Polo, in consequence, has set out on further adventures of discovery and exploration. One early field of exploration lay in the work of later Romantic composers, whose turn has now come again. In addition to pioneering recordings of the operas of Franz Schreker, Der ferne Klang (The Distant Sound), Die Gezeichneten (The Marked Ones) and Die Flammen (The Flames), were three operas by Wagner’s son, Siegfried. Der Bärenhäuter (The Man in the Bear’s Skin), Banadietrich and Schwarzschwanenreich (The Kingdom of the Black Swan) explore a mysterious medieval world of German legend in a musical language more akin to that of his teacher Humperdinck than to that of his father. -

BOURNONVILLE: SOME UNTOLD STORIES by Colin Roth
BOURNONVILLE: SOME UNTOLD STORIES by Colin Roth ome important things that should have been said about Bournon- Sville have not been: this is an attempt to tackle some of the gaps. Story-telling strategies We have come to take the story-telling strategy of August Bournon- ville and Hans Christian Andersen so much for granted that we don’t notice how distinctive it is in comparison to that which pre- ceded it, or why it made such an impact when they first began to tell their tales. Bournonville and Andersen invite us inside the story and encour- age us to experience the feelings and experiences of the characters as though we were ourselves one of them. Specifically, they do that by presenting their theme within a heaving mass of naturalistic detail from which we have to recognise what matters most: it is our hav- ing to work at seeing, rather than having the artist select the theme and highlight it for us, that makes the narrative strategy so powerful. Moreover, the detail is frequently expressed in direct speech: char- acters come to life and utter exclamations or comments, juxtaposed vigorously and often ironically against the voices of others. It is a different approach to that in which a narrator, often recog- nisably the author’s own voice, tells the story and maintains a more This sentence paraphrases a similar announcement in J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings, one of the great works of 0th century story-telling. This paper was written for and presented in printed form to the Bournville Symposium held at The Rigging Loft, The Opera, Copenhagen, [Takkelloftet, Opera- og Ballethuset, København] 8-9 August 005. -
