Through the medium of Baldwin tone, this most lyric of contemporary pianists discovers complete revealment of his musical dreams. For a generation de Pachmann has played the Baldwin; on the concert stage and in his home. That love- liness and purity of tone which appeals to de Pach- mann and to every exacting musician is found in all Baldwins, alike in the Concert Grand, in the smaller Grands, in the Uprights.

It was performed for the first time, and under the direction of the ' composer, at the Salle Herz, Paris, on February 3, 1844. The first performance in Boston was at a Philharmonic concert, led by Carl Zerrahn, at the Melodeon on January 24, 1857. The overture then reminded John S. Dwight of "Mr. Fry's 'Christmas' symphony"! The overture was composed in Paris in 1843, shortly after a jour- ney in Germany. The score and parts were published in June, 1844. The chief thematic material of the overture was taken by Berlioz from his opera "Benvenuto Cellini,"* originally in two acts, libretto by Leon de Wailly and Augusta Barbier. It was produced at the Opera, Paris, on September 10, 1838. The cast was as follows: Ben- venuto Cellini, Duprez; Giacomo Balducci, Derivis; Fieramosca, Mas- sol; le Cardinal Salviati, Serda; Francesco, Wartel; Bernardino, Ferdi- *For a full and entertaining account of this opera and its first performance, with quotations from the contemporaneous criticisms, see Adolphe Boschot's "Un Romantique sous Louis Philippe," Chap.

The story has been condemned as weak and foolish. It is also wholly fictitious. ^ ^ The overture begins Allegro assai con fuoco, with the chief theme, which is taken from the saltarello danced on the Piazza Colonna in Rome in the middle of the second act of the opera. This theme is announced in forte by the violins and violas, answered by wood-wind instruments in free imitation; and horns, bassoons, trumpets, and cornets make a second response in the third measure.

Tempo Rubatb The Uses of Rubato in Music, Eighteenth to Twentieth Centuries Sandra P. Rosenblum Tempo rubato (It., "stolen time") may be most aptly defined as a disregard of certain notated properties of rhythm and tempo for the sake of expressive performance. Like a few other musical terms, this one has been applied to widely divergent—almost opposing—usages and is presently the subject of sufficient confusion to warrant an ordered presentation. The phrase rubare il tempo originated with Tosi in 1723.1 Since then rubato has been used for two basic types of rhythmic flexibility: that of a solo melody to move in subtly redistributed or inflected note values against a steady pulse in the accompaniment, and flexibility of the entire musical texture to accelerate, to slow down, or to slightly lengthen a single note, chord, or rest.

  • The Recorded Heritage of Willem Mengelberg and Its Aesthetic Relevance
    Copyright 2014 Samir Ghiocel Golescu THE RECORDED HERITAGE OF WILLEM MENGELBERG AND ITS AESTHETIC RELEVANCE BY SAMIR GHIOCEL GOLESCU DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in Music with a concentration in Performance and Literature in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2014 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor William Kinderman, Chair Professor Ian Hobson Associate Professor Sherban Lupu Assistant Professor Katherine Syer ABSTRACT This dissertation explores the art and interpretative aesthetics of the Dutch conductor Willem Mengelberg (1871-1951), as preserved in his sound recordings and, subsidiarily, in his writings. Emphasis is given to issues pertaining to 19th century performance practice, as well as to historical connections between Mengelberg and compositional/interpretative trends in Europe at the time. Mengelberg’s impact on musical life in Amsterdam, New York, and beyond will be considered. The relevance of Mengelberg’s recordings is assessed from both a documentary and aesthetic point of view. The quasi-entirety of Mengelberg’s rich body of recordings has been consulted, yet a few dozens of them have been chosen for an in-depth study meant to illuminate both their historical context and their contemporary relevance. ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS It is with gratitude that I acknowledge the help and support of the committee members, particularly long-time University of Illinois mentors Ian Hobson and William Kinderman, as well as previous mentors and close musical friends such as Florica Nitzulescu, Ioan Welt, Elena Andriescu, Isabelle Belance-Zank, Hubert Wendel, and Sergei Pavlov. I am indebted to Ingrid Ilinca for her help and support.

CHOPIN THE CONQUEROR BIBLIOGRAPHY BOOKS BY JAMES HUNEKER PART I.--THE MAN I. POLAND:--YOUTHFUL IDEALS Gustave Flaubert, pessimist and master of cadenced lyric prose, urged young writers to lead ascetic lives that in their art they might be violent. Chopin's violence was psychic, a travailing and groaning of the spirit; the bright roughness of adventure was missing from his quotidian existence. The tragedy was within. One recalls Maurice Maeterlinck: "Whereas most of our life is passed far from blood, cries and swords, and the tears of men have become silent, invisible and almost spiritual."
