The young, (1770–1827) Bonn-born composer was effectively travelling to the Habsburg capital to take up where the late, lamented composer had String Quartet in F Op. 18 No. 1 left off. He even carried a letter to that end, (1798–1800) written by his friend Count von Waldstein: Allegro con brio ‘You are going to Vienna in fulfilment Adagio affettuoso ed appassionato of your long-frustrated wishes. The Scherzo. Allegro molto Genius of Mozart is still mourning and Allegro weeping the death of her pupil.

SERGEI PROKOFIEV (1891-1953) Sergei Prokofiev, born in Sontsovka, in the Ekaterinoslav district of the Ukraine, began piano lessons at age three with his mother, who also encouraged him to compose. It soon became clear that the child was musically precocious, writing his first piano piece at age five and playing the easier Beethoven sonatas at age nine. He continued training in Moscow, studying piano with Reinhold Gliere, and in 1904, entered the St. Petersburg Conservatory where he studied harmony and counterpoint with Anatoly Lyadov, orchestration with Rimsky- Korsakov, and conducting with Alexander Tcherepnin.

  • Violinist Karine Garibova Was Born and Raised in Moscow and Started Playing Violin at the Age Six Studying with Irina Svetlova, Yelena Mazor and Khalida Akhtyamova
    Violinist Karine Garibova was born and raised in Moscow and started playing violin at the age six studying with Irina Svetlova, Yelena Mazor and Khalida Akhtyamova. Ms. Garibova earned a DMA in String Quartet performance from the Gnesins’ Russian Academy of Music in Moscow, Russia. Ms. Garibova is a founding member of the Veronika String Quartet, which launched itself onto the international arena early, taking top prizes at the Melbourne International Chamber Music Competition, Shostakovich International String Quartet Competition, and Yellow Springs Chamber Music Competition. Since then, this foursome has appeared in important halls in Moscow, St. Petersburg, London, Madrid, Jerusalem, New York, Chicago, and in Germany, France, and the Netherlands, as well as throughout the United States. Noteworthy collaborations have included those with members of the Amadeus, American and Fine Arts quartets, and with guest artists Ruth Laredo, Richard Stolzman, and Lawrence Leighton Smith. The quartet counts Valentin Berlinsky, formerly of the Borodin Quartet, and Henry Meyer, formerly of the LaSalle Quartet, as its primary influences. The group was able to create a unique bridge between its rich Russian heritage and the western tradition through studies under Isaac Stern, Natalia Gutman, and members of the Guarneri, Ysaye, Cleveland, and Tokyo quartets. Performances of the complete canon of the quartet repertory, coupled with its devotion to the modernist idiom, have resulted in a discography of nine recordings on Carlton Classics and Vienna Modern Masters, featuring an impressive array of works ranging from W.A. Mozart to Augusta Read Thomas. The Veronika String Quartet has been recording and broadcasting for Colorado Public Radio and presenting thematically adventurous concert series in Colorado Springs and Pueblo.

Director of Research Head of Department Committee on Final Examination O 1H42 ABSTRACT The purpose of the dissertation is to find out how would a modern-day pianist of a new generation interpret the Liszt opera fantasies for piano--as Liszt wanted it to be done. The foci of the problem were in five interpretative areas of piano performance: tempo, dynamics, phrasing, pedal, and articulation. The study focused on these Liszt opera fantasies: Don Juan (Mozart), La Sonnambula (Bellini), Robert le Diable (Meyerbeer), and Norma (Bellini) . They not only give the best possible sample of Liszt's opera fantasies, but also show the best of the piano transcriptions Liszt had in his repertoire. Primary sources for this study included Dover's Franz Liszt: Piano Transcriptions of French and Italian Operas, Diary Notes of August Gollerich, and past and present recordings of pianists playing the selected fantasies, including Leslie Howard, Ferruccio Busoni, Louis Kentner, Raymond Lewenthal, Ian Hobson, and Michele Campanella.
