    TCHAIKOVSKY COMPETITION 1982 A DIARY BY PETER DONOHOE1 1 The footnotes in this diary are restrospective notes from 2012 – 30 years later... 08 June 1982 Recital at Charlotte Mason College in Ambleside in the British Lake District Program: Tchaikovsky Sonata 2 in G Major (1st Movement) Tchaikovsky November (from The Seasons) Tippett Sonata 2 Prokofiev Sonata 6 ---- Scriabin Etude Op65/3 Chopin Etude Op10/8 Rachmaninov Etude Tableau Op39/5 E flat Minor Bach Prelude and Fugue Book 2 No. 3 Flierkovsky – Prelude and Fugue in G minor Stravinsky Three Movements from Petrushka A very nice, but knowing guy came up to me after the concert, and said “That was a very unusual program. It is almost as if you are preparing to enter the Tchaikovsky Competition.” I asked him to keep it under his hat – it is never good for people to know in advance of your competition efforts, in case it doesn’t work out. Set off home at 11.00 p.m. The car –a Vauxhall Viva borrowed from my parents-in-law – broke down after about 10 miles of a 120 mile journey to my in-laws on the Wirral. Still in the Lake District countryside. The weather was appallingly wet. I had to get to the Wirral, and then the next morning to Manchester for an early flight to London to connect with the Aeroflot flight to Moscow. 09 June 1982 Thank God for the AA Relay service. They got me to the Wirral in the cab of one of their trucks, with the car on the back.

  • Joyce Yang Piano Blessed With
    Joyce Yang Piano Blessed with “poetic and sensitive pianism” (Washington Post) and a “wondrous sense of color” (San Francisco Classical Voice), pianist Joyce Yang captivates audiences with her virtuosity, lyricism, and interpretive sensitivity. As a Van Cliburn International Piano Competition silver medalist and Avery Fisher Career Grant recipient, Yang showcases her colorful musical personality in solo recitals and collaborations with the world’s top orchestras and chamber musicians. Yang came to international attention in 2005 when she won the silver medal at the 12th Van Cliburn International Piano Competition. The youngest contestant at 19 years old, she took home two additional awards: the Steven De Groote Memorial Award for Best Performance of Chamber Music (with the Takàcs Quartet) and the Beverley Taylor Smith Award for Best Performance of a New Work. Since her spectacular debut, she has blossomed into an “astonishing artist” (Neue Zürcher Zeitung). She has performed as soloist with the New York Philharmonic, Chicago Symphony, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Philadelphia Orchestra, the Baltimore, Detroit, Houston, Milwaukee, San Francisco, Sydney, and Toronto symphony orchestras, Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, and the BBC Philharmonic (among many others), working with such distinguished conductors as Edo de Waart, Lorin Maazel, James Conlon, Leonard Slatkin, David Robertson, Bramwell Tovey, Peter Oundjian, and Jaap van Zweden. In recital, Yang has taken the stage at New York’s Lincoln Center and Metropolitan Museum; the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC; Chicago’s Symphony Hall; and Zurich’s Tonhalle. Yang kicks off the 2015/16 season with a tour of eight summer festivals (Aspen, Bridgehampton, Grand Tetons, La Jolla, Ravinia, Seattle, Southeastern Piano Festival, and Bravo! Vail) before commencing a steady stream of debuts, return engagements, and notable chamber music concerts.

  • Toscanini VII, 1937-1942
    Toscanini VII, 1937-1942: NBC, London, Netherlands, Lucerne, Buenos Aires, Philadelphia We now return to our regularly scheduled program, and with it will come my first detailed analyses of Toscanini’s style in various music because, for once, we have a number of complete performances by alternate orchestras to compare. This is paramount because it shows quite clear- ly that, although he had a uniform approach to music and insisted on both technical perfection and emotional commitment from his orchestras, he did not, as Stokowski or Furtwängler did, impose a specific sound on his orchestras. Although he insisted on uniform bowing in the case of the Philadelphia Orchestra, for instance, one can still discern the classic Philadelphia Orchestra sound, despite its being “neatened up” to meet his standards. In the case of the BBC Symphony, for instance, the sound he elicited from them was not far removed from the sound that Adrian Boult got out of them, in part because Boult himself preferred a lean, clean sound as did Tosca- nini. We shall also see that, for better or worse, the various guest conductors of the NBC Sym- phony Orchestra did not get vastly improved sound result out of them, not even that wizard of orchestral sound, Leopold Stokowki, because the sound profile of the orchestra was neither warm in timbre nor fluid in phrasing. Toscanini’s agreement to come back to New York to head an orchestra created (pretty much) for him is still shrouded in mystery. All we know for certain is that Samuel Chotzinoff, representing David Sarnoff and RCA, went to see him in Italy and made him the offer, and that he first turned it down.

  • SEEKING ARTISTIC GOALS: SUGGESTIONS for PIANO STUDENTS and TEACHERS by Jiayin LI
    SEEKING ARTISTIC GOALS: SUGGESTIONS FOR PIANO STUDENTS AND TEACHERS by Jiayin LI Concert Pianist Member Precollege Piano Faculty Manhattan School of Music As a student in China, I had a great deal of exposure to the well- developed teaching methods of my home country. However, when I came to the US and began to study with Solomon Mikowsky in the doctoral program at Manhattan School of Music, I had no idea what to expect. It was an epiphany for me! In just a few years, he has taught me the most important requirements to become a good and successful piano instructor: how to listen and how to apply it into effective teaching. My added experience, first as Dr. Mikowsky’s Assistant, and then, as a member of the MSM Precollege faculty, I have developed a series of concepts that have informed my teaching. I wish to share them with the reader. Before starting on this discourse, I wish to share a selection of the great teachers of the past, included in Kookhee Hong’s “The Piano teaching legacy of Solomon Mikowsky,” where Dr. Mikowsky pays tribute to them. Just as pianists are familiar with the names of some of the most famous pianists, it is time for credit to be given to their teachers. Great teachers in the past: Alfredo Casella (Italian, 1883-1947), Marcel Ciampi (French, 1891-1980), Maria Curcio (Italian, 1918-2009), Louis Diémer (French, 1843-2019), Edwin Fischer (Swiss, 1886-1960), Sidney Foster (American, 1917-1977), Carl Friedberg (German, 1872-1955), Alexander Goldenweiser (Russian, 1865-1961), Ernest Hutcheson (Australian, 1871-1951),

I think of it as a very New York piece. Ravel wrote it after Gershwin took him to hear jazz in Harlem — where I live in an apartment that used to be a speakeasy for the great jazz musicians — and you can hear the American jazz scene’s influence in this concerto. It also has extraordinary depth, and the second movement has some of the most moving music Ravel ever wrote.” The performances of Esa-Pekka Salonen’s Nyx will mark the first time that a conductor other than Mr.
