The Eighth International r¿^ THE EIGHTH INTERNATIONAL PIANO MASTER COMPETITION MARCH-APRIL 1995 ISRAEL fÌ THE ARTHUR RUBINSTEIN INTERNATIONAL MUSIC SOCIETY THE EIGHTH INTERNATIONAL PIANO MASTER COMPETITION MARCH-APRIL 1995 TEL-AVIV ISRAEL k____________________________________________-________________ / ARTHUR RUBINSTEIN'S ADDRESS AT THE PRIZE DISTRIBUTION CEREMONY — SEPTEMBER 1974. JERUSALEM Your Excellency, the President ofIsrael. HerExcellency. Mrs. Golda Meir, my oldfriend and most admired woman in the world, spoke to you in Hebrew, apparently about me. 1 guessed from her voice, from the expression ofher eyes, that she did speak too well about me. I felt that because she has in her heart a generosity which is unequalled: I cannot answer what she said, because I do not, unfortunately, understand Hebrew. I know only the Hebrew prayers as a little boy. and I never learned your new wonderful Hebrew language. Iam very ashamed of it. So please pardon — excuse me please — if I answer in English. This Government: the President; Mrs. Golda Meir: Mr. Koi. Minister of Tourism — they have all taken to heart to make this competition for pianists in my name, which was a little.bit too much for me to take. I was afraid of it. I thought it might be difficult — the country suffers so much: there are countries always ready tofight: it must be always ready to defend itself— it has so many things to face, so many more difficult than any country in the worldjust now, and yet. the pride of my heart is that it has never lost sight of culture, of music, of art. of love of life, of high spirit, of magnificent humanity. This is the pride of this country. This is one of the reasons why I love it so dearly, and so much, and so deeply. This competition was on the highest level ofall the competitions at which / have ever been present. And I am old enough to say that I have been at very many. I must say it is a pride for Israel to have such a high level of pianists. My friend Bistritzky gave the name to this competition of Master Pianist." I was a little bit against that very high word "Master," but I must admit it was rightly used. Indeed, all of them show that they are master pianists. I am very happy to be allowed to give them the prizes which they deserve. One thing, you must excuse me. that they put so much weight on my poor old name. I attribute it really to my old age maybe. I am by far the dean ofoldest living pianists tonight. And so you couldn't find anybody better for the moment. In any case, let me thank you from the bottom of my heart to give me so much honor, which Ido not ”... THE NEW deserve, but accept humbly and with love. JEWISH NATION Thank you. HAS FELT, FROM ITS EARLIEST BEGINNING, Maestro Arthur Rubinstein about the Competition: " NEVER NEVER. NEVER have I met such a concentration of talent before; everyone, at a THAT HOMELAND lesser contest, would easily have won first prize. .'(The Jerusalem Post, Sept. 13, 1974). AND CULTURE .. Congratulations and many thanks for the brilliant organization of the Piano Master Competition RE TWO CONCEPTIONS in Israel, success of which was due to your relentless enthusiasm and expert handling of everything WHICH CANNOT and everybody, in spite of great difficulties.

He gave us his unfailing, most generous and meaningful support, adding significantly to our country's stature among the nations by his unsparing contribution to her cultural development In this spirit of compassionate fellow-feeling, he appeared repeatedly with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra (from its earliest beginning) without any form of remuneration, both here and across the world. Giving expression to his belief in and concern for the Jewish people's national revival in the free State, the Maestro stated - "Homeland and culture 2849 are two concepts which cannot be separated from each other" - and consented to the establishment in Israel of an to>- o'ZirQ bn rn"Ti_j international piano competition in his name.

    Elaine Fitz Gibbon »Beethoven und Goethe blieben die Embleme des kunstliebenden Deutschlands, für jede politische Richtung unantastbar und ebenso als Chiffren manipulierbar« (Klüppelholz 2001, 25-26). “Beethoven and Goethe remained the emblems of art-loving Germany: untouchable for every political persuasion, and likewise, as ciphers, just as easily manipulated.”1 The year 2020 brought with it much more than collective attempts to process what we thought were the uniquely tumultuous 2010s. In addition to causing the deaths of over two million people worldwide, the Covid-19 pandemic has further exposed the extraordinary inequities of U.S.-American society, forcing a long- overdue reckoning with the entrenched racism that suffuses every aspect of American life. Within the realm of classical music, institutions have begun conversations about the ways in which BIPOC, and in particular Black Americans, have been systematically excluded as performers, audience members, administrators and composers: a stark contrast with the manner in which 2020 was anticipated by those same institutions before the pandemic began. Prior to the outbreak of the novel coronavirus, they looked to 2020 with eager anticipation, provoking a flurry of activity around a singular individual: Ludwig van Beethoven. For on December 16th of that year, Beethoven turned 250. The banners went up early. In 2019 on Instagram, Beethoven accounts like @bthvn_2020, the “official account of the Beethoven Anniversary Year,” sprang up. The Twitter hashtags #beethoven2020 and #beethoven250 were (more or less) trending. Prior to the spread of the virus, passengers flying in and out of Chicago’s O’Hare airport found themselves confronted with a huge banner that featured an iconic image of Beethoven’s brooding face, an advertisement for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s upcoming complete cycle Current Musicology 107 (Fall 2020) ©2020 Fitz Gibbon.

In the first week, Mr. Maazel will lead Brahms’s Piano Concerto No. 1 — with soloist Yefim Bronfman, continuing the Philharmonic’s survey this season of Brahms’s complete symphonies and concertos — and Sibelius’s Symphony No. 2 on Wednesday, January 16, 2013, at 7:30 p.m.; Thursday, January 17 at 7:30 p.m.; Friday, January 18 at 2:00 p.m.; and Saturday, January 19 at 8:00 p.m. The following week, Mr. Maazel will lead the Orchestra in Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet, Overture-Fantasy; Lutosławski’s Chain 2: Dialogue for Violin and Orchestra, with soloist Jennifer Koh in her Philharmonic subscription debut; and Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 5 on Thursday, January 24, 2013, at 7:30 p.m.; Friday, January 25 at 8:00 p.m.; and Saturday, January 26 at 8:00 p.m. The works on both programs reflect the composers’ reactions to nationalism.

  • Symposium Zwischen Zeiten Und Welten. Leben Und Werk Von Béla
    Symposium in memoriam Lory Wallfisch Zwischen Zeiten und Welten. Leben und Werk von Béla Bartók und George Enescu. Delmenhorst, 18.-20. November 2011 Organisation: Prof. Violeta Dinescu und Roberto Reale Carl von Ossietzky Universität Oldenburg 1 6. Zwischen Zeiten Symposium in memoriam Lory Wallfisch (1922-2011) Carl von Ossietzky Universität Oldenburg in Kooperation mit dem Hanse-Wissenschaftskolleg Delmenhorst/HWK Delmenhorst Zwischen Zeiten & Welten Leben und Werk von Béla Bartók und George Enescu 18.-20. November 2011 In diesem Jahr ist der 130. Geburtstag von zwei der schillerndsten musikalischen Persönlichkeiten des 20. Jahrhunderts zu feiern: Béla Bartók und George Enescu. Deswegen widmet sich das 6. Zwischen Zeiten-Symposium an der Universität Oldenburg diesen beiden Komponisten. Bartók und Enescu verbindet viel: Beide sind im osteuropäischen Raum geboren, beide haben ihre Heimat verlassen und dies als existentielles dramatisches Erlebnis empfunden, beide waren nicht nur Komponisten, sondern hervorragende praktizierende Musiker (Bartók als Pianist, Enescu als Violinist, Pianist und Dirigent), und schließlich haben beide in ihrem Werk das Eigene ihrer Herkunft bewahren können und Fremdes assimiliert. Bartók war ein angesehener Musikethnologe, dessen Recherchen bis heute Gültigkeit haben. Seine Transkriptionen und Analysen der traditionellen Musik Osteuropas sind Meilensteine der Forschung und haben zugleich seine eigene Musik inspiriert. Dass (und wie) diese Quellen seine Musik beeinflusst haben, bleibt in seiner Vielfalt noch zu entdecken. George Enescu hingegen hat keine wissenschaftlichen Feldforschungen wie Bartók betrieben, doch hat er, kaum weniger auf die traditionelle Musik seiner Heimat Bezug nehmend, eine Tradition begründet, die sich gänzlich von der Bartóks unterscheidet. Enescu wie Bartók haben mithin musikalische Sprachen entwickelt, die bei allen Gemeinsamkeiten außerordentlich individualisiert sind.

Zu Wilhelm Furtwänglers Interpretationskunst Henrik Holm Zusammenfassung Die Aufnahmen mit Furtwängler am Dirigentenpult rufen monumentale und faszinierende Hörerfahrungen hervor, besonders die aus den Kriegsjahren. Warum erfährt Furtwängler immer noch eine bewundernde Wert- schätzung? In diesem Aufsatz möchte ich Furtwänglers Interpretation von Beethovens neunter Symphonie vor dem Hintergrund seines interpretationsästhetischen Denkens thematisieren. Das Ziel ist es, Furtwänglers Interpretationskunst als eine Sache der ästhetischen Erfahrung zu verorten. Schlüsselwörter Musikphilosophie, Ästhetik, musikalische Interpretation Abstract Still today, the German conductor Wilhelm Furtwängler fascinates and causes monumental listening-experi- ences, especially through the recordings of his wartime-concerts. Why do we appreciate them to such a degree? What kind of listening-experience is this? In this article, I will discuss Furtwänglers interpretation of the beginning of Beethoven’s ninth symphony on the background of his thinking about musical interpretation and performance. My aim is to understand Furtwänglers interpretation as a genuine case of aesthetic experience. Keywords Philosophy of music, aesthetics, musical interpretation Einleitung Wilhelm Furtwängler
