A STUDY OF SELECT WORLD-FEDERATED INTERNATIONAL PIANO COMPETITIONS: INFLUENTIAL FACTORS IN PERFORMER REPERTOIRE CHOICES by Yuan-Hung Lin A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School, the College of Arts and Sciences and the School of Music at The University of Southern Mississippi in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Musical Arts Approved by: Dr. Elizabeth Moak, Committee Chair Dr. Ellen Elder Dr. Michael Bunchman Dr. Edward Hafer Dr. Joseph Brumbeloe August 2020 COPYRIGHT BY Yuan-Hung Lin 2020 Published by the Graduate School ABSTRACT In the last ninety years, international music competitions have increased steadily. According to the 2011 Yearbook of the World Federation of International Music Competitions (WFIMC)—founded in 1957—there were only thirteen world-federated international competitions at its founding, with at least nine competitions featuring or including piano. One of the founding competitions, the Chopin competition held in Warsaw, dates back to 1927. The number of world-federated international competitions has since increased to 122 in 2019, with a total of fifty-nine piano competitions (thirty- two dedicated solely to piano). More and more, pianists strive to participate in several competitions in order to win a competition title and its tangible benefits such as prize monies and/or additional concerts. However, there are many pianists, but few prizes. It is always a challenge for contestants to stand out from the vast number of outstanding pianists, to be noticed by the public, and to develop their career. “How will the choice of repertoire influence the competition results” or “what is the best repertoire to play in the competition” become important questions when contestants are selecting repertoire for a competition. This research is thus focused on the use of repertoire in the WFIMC piano competitions. It will explore the question whether there is a beneficial repertoire for contestants by analyzing the use of competition repertoire and comparing the choice of repertoire between different contestants. It will sample several well-known international piano competitions such as the Long-Thibaud-Crespin Competition in Paris, France; the Géza Anda Competition in Zurich, Switzerland; the International Ferruccio Busoni International Piano Competition in Bolzano, Italy; and the International Telekom ii Beethoven Piano Competition Bonn in Germany. It will examine these factors: repertoire requirements of different competitions, repertoire choices offered for each round, repertoire difficulty, and choice of repertoire by the performers. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to my committee chair and advisor Dr. Elizabeth Moak, without her I could not finish this degree. And I would like to show my appreciation to my committee members Dr. Edward Hafer, Dr. Joseph Brumbeloe, Dr. Ellen Elder, and Dr. Michael Bunchman for their advisement and support of my studies and research.

    Explore Unknown Music with the Toccata Discovery Club Since you’re reading this booklet, you’re obviously someone who likes to explore music more widely than the mainstream offerings of most other labels allow. Toccata Classics was set up explicitly to release recordings of music – from the Renaissance to the present day – that the microphones have been ignoring. How often have you heard a piece of music you didn’t know and wondered why it hadn’t been recorded before? Well, Toccata Classics aims to bring this kind of neglected treasure to the public waiting for the chance to hear it – from the major musical centres and from less-well-known cultures in northern and eastern Europe, from all the Americas, and from further afield: basically, if it’s good music and it hasn’t yet been recorded, Toccata Classics is exploring it. To link label and listener directly we run the Toccata Discovery Club, which brings its members substantial discounts on all Toccata Classics recordings, whether CDs or downloads, and also on the range of pioneering books on music published by its sister company, Toccata Press. A modest annual membership fee brings you, free on joining, two CDs, a Toccata Press book or a number of album downloads (so you are saving from the start) and opens up the entire Toccata Classics catalogue to you, both new recordings and existing releases as CDs or downloads, as you prefer. Frequent special offers bring further discounts.

  • Migrant Female Musicians and Their Fight for Social Rights1
    Migration Studies – Review of Polish Diaspora nr 3 (177)/2020, http://www.ejournals.eu/Studia-Migracyjne/ DOI: 10.4467/25444972SMPP.20.032.12596 Migrant female Musicians and their Fight for Social Rights1 MILENA GAMMAITONI2 ORCID: 0000-0002-6578-8199 Department of Educational Sciences Roma Tre University of Rome The aim of this essay is to examine the social action of women composers, often obliged to migrate, for long or short periods, in search of greater freedom and affirmation of their musical talent. The history of yesterday and today features numerous women musicians, composers and performers, active in the production of music, in social and political life, who often had and have to travel and migrate to assert themselves. Going on tour has always been part of the life of the artist – but for women it was not easy to travel freely and at will, on their own besides. Until the nineteenth centu- ry, such a thing was almost always strictly forbidden. Sometimes women composers and performers left the countries in which they resided for personal reasons, driven not only by the “compulsion” to change country because in their own it was impossible to choose the pathway they wished to follow. Keywords: women composers, sociology, rights, migration Social history of women composers and research methodology The Universal Encyclopedism of the eighteenth century and the various specialist dis- ciplines cancelled women composers from the collective memory. As a result, they are often totally absent from present-day handbooks of the history of music. Today, it is possible to calculate their approximate numbers: the New Grove of Music lists 900 female musicians, the Oxford Library 1,500 and, finally, the “Donne e Musica”3 1 Translation from Italian by Kay Mc Carthy.

CONNECTING ANALYSIS AND PERFORMANCE: A CASE STUDY FOR DEVELOPING AN EFFECTIVE APPROACH ANNIE YIH ne of the purposes of teaching music theory is to connect the practice of analysis with O performance. However, several studies have expressed concern over a lack of connec- tion between the two, and they have raised questions concerning the performative qualities of traditional analytic theory.1 If theorists are to achieve one of the objectives of analysis in provid- ing performers with information for making decisions, and to develop what John Rink calls “informed intuition,” then they need to understand what types of analysis—and what details in an analysis—can be of service to performers.2 As we know, notation is not music; notation must be realized as music, and the first step involves score study.

  • STUDENTS SELECTION Reina Sofía School of Music
    STUDENTS SELECTION Reina Sofía School of Music ACADEMIC YEAR 2020-2021 Reina Sofía School of Music The place for your talent in the heart of Madrid The Reina Sofía School of Music is considered as one of the leading European Schools for especially gifted students who wish to become professional musicians. It was founded in 1991 by Paloma O'Shea as a highly professional training centre with a double goal: supporting the development of young musicians and bringing music closer to society. The Reina Sofía School was created with the help and advice of great maestros like Yehudi Menuhin, Mstislav Rostropovich, Alicia de Larrocha and Zubin Mehta, and enjoys the support of Her Majesty Queen Sofía as its Honorary President, as well as that of public and private institutions. Every year, 150 young musicians coming from more than 30 countries meet renowned teachers – around 80 –, under the best conditions, in an inspiring building at the centre of Madrid. The tuition-free system allows those with enough merit to have access to the highest level of education. The School organizes over 300 concerts a year with more than 60,000 attendees, in order to give students the opportunity to mature on stage. 1 Why study with us Only the very best teachers For the instrumental and composition chairs, the School has prestigious international teachers. Student selection exclusively merit-based In the School's auditions, the only criterion is the musical and artistic talent of the candidates.

The first program featured two complete sets of Concert Etudes, showing how a nineteenth-century composer (Chopin) and a twentieth-century composer (Szymanowski) solved the problem of assimilating typical pianistic patterns of their respective eras in short musical forms, These selections are preceded on the program by a group of compositions, consis- ting of a. a Chaconne for violin solo by J.
