  • Critical Success Factors in Cello Training – a Comparative Study
    Critical success factors in cello training a comparative study by Anzél Gerber Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree PhD Music (Performance Practice) in the Department of Music Goldsmiths College, University of London Supervisor Professor Alexander Ivashkin 2008 (ii) DECLARATION I, Anzél Gerber, the undersigned, hereby declare that this dissertation, submitted in partial fulfilment for the degree PhD Music (Performance Practice), is my own original work. Signed: _______________________ Anzél Gerber (iii) ABSTRACT The research focused on the identification and ranking of critical success factors that contribute most significantly towards the training of a cello student. The empirical study was based on a sample of cello teachers in four countries selected for the study, namely Germany, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States of America. A literature study, identifying a broad category of factors that could contribute towards successful cello training, formed the basis of the questionnaire. These critical success factors included the quality of the teacher, acquired skills, the talent and giftedness of the student, support rendered to the student, and the curriculum. Each of these factors comprised five sub factors. The respondents were required to rank these factors in order of importance. In the final analysis, they were requested to rank the five main factors. A statistical process of ranking (forced ranking) and Kruskal-Wallis was applied to rank and analyse the responses of the cello teachers in the survey. The critical success factors that contribute the most significantly towards successful cello training were identified and compared. ________________________________ (iv) PREFACE This study is in partial fulfilment for the degree PhD Music Performance at Goldsmiths College, University of London.

He was also one of the most celebrated pianists of his age. Even as late as 1848, shortly after completing the Cello Sonata, the Daily News reported that Chopin “accomplished enormous difficulties, but so smoothly and with such constant deliccy and refinement that the listener is quite unaware of their real magnitude.” Yet he made barely 30 public appearances – his outwardly calm appearance concealed the blind terror he experienced when playing in front of a large audience. It was in 1836 that Chopin first met the novelist George Sand (nom de plume of Aurore Dudevant), and so began one of the most famous of composer love affairs. Within two years he – like many men before him – had fallen completely under her spell.

    THÉODORE DUBOIS: CHAMBER MUSIC by William Melton (Clément-François) Théodore Dubois was born in Rosnay (Marne) on 24 August 1837 into an unmusical family. His father was in fact a basket-maker, but saw to it that a second-hand harmonium was purchased so that his son could receive his first music-lessons from the village cooper, M. Dissiry, an amateur organist. The pupil showed indications of strong musical talent and at the age of thirteen he was taken on by the maître de chapelle at Rheims Cathedral, Louis Fanart, a pupil of the noted composers Jean-François Lesueur and Alexandre-Étienne Choron (the boy made the ten-mile journey from home to Rheims and back each week on foot). When the Paris Conservatoire accepted Théodore as a student in 1853, it was the mayor of Rosnay, the Viscount de Breuil, who supplied the necessary funds (prompted by Théodore’s grandfather, a teacher who also served as secretary in the mayor’s office). While holding organ posts at Les Invalides and Sainte Clotilde, Dubois embraced studies with Antoine François Marmontel (piano), François Benoist (organ), François Bazin (harmony) and Ambroise Thomas (composition). Dubois graduated from the Conservatoire in 1861, having taken first prize in each of his classes. He also earned the Grand Prix de Rome with his cantata Atala, of which the Revue et Gazette musicale wrote: The cantata of M. Dubois is certainly one of the best we have heard. The poetic text of Roussy lacked strong dramatic situations but still furnished sufficient means for M. Dubois to display his real talent to advantage.
