    THE SYNTHESIS OF JAZZ AND CLASSICAL STYLES IN THREE PIANO WORKS OF NIKOLAI KAPUSTIN __________________________________________________ A monograph Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board __________________________________________________________ in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS __________________________________________________________ by Tatiana Abramova August 2014 Examining Committee Members: Dr. Charles Abramovic, Advisory Chair, Professor of Piano Harvey Wedeen, Professor of Piano Dr. Cynthia Folio, Professor of Music Studies Richard Oatts, External Member, Professor, Artistic Director of Jazz Studies ABSTRACT The Synthesis of Jazz and Classical Styles in Three Piano Works of Nikolai Kapustin Tatiana Abramova Doctor of Musical Arts Temple University, 2014 Doctoral Advisory Committee Chair: Dr. Charles Abramovic The music of the Russian-Ukrainian composer Nikolai Kapustin is a fascinating synthesis of jazz and classical idioms. Kapustin has explored many existing traditional classical forms in conjunction with jazz. Among his works are: 20 piano sonatas, Suite in the Old Style, Op.28, preludes, etudes, variations, and six piano concerti. The most significant work in this regard is a cycle of 24 Preludes and Fugues, Op. 82, which was completed in 1997. He has also written numerous works for different instrumental ensembles and for orchestra. Well-known artists, such as Steven Osborn and Marc-Andre Hamelin have made a great contribution by recording Kapustin's music with Hyperion, one of the major recording companies. Being a brilliant pianist himself, Nikolai Kapustin has also released numerous recordings of his own music. Nikolai Kapustin was born in 1937 in Ukraine. He started his musical career as a classical pianist. In 1961 he graduated from the Moscow Conservatory, studying with the legendary pedagogue, Professor of Moscow Conservatory Alexander Goldenweiser, one of the greatest founders of the Russian piano school.

  • Georg Solti (1)
    ___________________________________________________________________________ SWR2 Musikstunde 10.9.2012 Der legendäre Dirigentenjahrgang 1912 (1) Mit Rainer Damm Georg Solti (1) Kaum ein Dirigent von Weltrang kann auf ein vergleichbar bewegtes Leben zurückblicken wie der 1912 in Budapest als György Stern geborene Georg oder George Solti, den Königin Elisabeth 1971 seiner beispiellosen Verdienste um das britische Musikleben wegen mit dem Adelstitel Sir auszeichnete. Schon als dreizehnjähriger trat der mit dem absoluten Gehör gesegnete Sohn aus bescheidenen Verhältnissen in das Budapester Konservatorium ein. Dort prägten ihn Begegnungen mit Bela Bartok, Ernst von Dohnanyi, Leo Weiner und Zoltan Kodaly. Aber schon 1939 musste er wegen der einsetzenden Juden - Pogrome in die Schweiz fliehen. Den verwegensten Spät - Senkrechtstarter der neueren Interpretationsgeschichte beriefen die Amerikaner 1946 als Generalmusikdirektor der Bayerischen Staatsoper nach München, derweil die renommierten Pultheroen auf den Ausgang ihrer Entnazifizierungsprozesse warteten. Gleich, ob in München oder später in Frankfurt oder London: Immer wieder bescherte Solti seinem Publikum Sternstunden der Oper. Erst in reiferen Jahren entdeckte Solti seine Neigung für die Symphonik. Rund zwanzig Jahre lang blieb er künstlerischer Leiter des Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Aufbauend auf der Vorarbeit seines ungarischen Landsmannes Fritz Reiner machte er es zu einem der besten Orchester der Welt. _____________________________________________________________ CD Decca 410 116 - 2 track 1 ab 7‘32 (Horn) = 4‘10 _____________________________________________________________ Das Finale des 1. Satzes von Antonin Dvoraks Sinfonie Nr. 9 op. 95 Aus der Neuen Welt mit dem Chicago Symphony Orchestra unter der Leitung des damals 70jährigen Georg Solti, aufgenommen 1983. Das Orchester aus Chicago, im Branchenjargon The Machine genannt, entsprach in idealer Weise Soltis Wunsch nach unbedingter Präzision und schneidender Wucht des Klanges, insbesondere der Blechbläser.

  • LEONORE OVERTURE No. 3, OP. 72
    — PROGRAM — PROGRAM NOTES BEETHOVEN (1770–1827) struggled to produce an appropriate overture for Fidelio, and ultimately went through four versions. His first attempt, for the 1805 premiere, is believed to have been the overture now known LEONORE OVERTURE No. 3, OP. 72 ............. LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN as Leonore No. 2. Beethoven then focused this version for the per– (1770–1827) formances of 1806, creating Leonore No. 3. The latter is considered by many listeners as the greatest of the four overtures, but as an intensely dramatic, full-scale symphonic movement it had the defect of over– whelming the (rather light) initial scenes of the opera. Beethoven CONCERTO FOR CLARINET, VIOLA, AND ORCHESTRA accordingly experimented with cutting it back somewhat, for a planned IN E MINOR, OP. 88 .......................................................... MAX BRUCH 1807 performance in Prague; this is believed to be the version now called (1838–1920) Leonore No. 1. Finally, for the 1814 revival Beethoven began anew, and I. Andante con moto with fresh musical material wrote what we now know as the Fidelio II. Allegro moderato overture. III. Allegro molto MAX BRUCH (1838–1920) composed his Double Concerto for clarinet, Kent van Alstyne, clarinet viola, and orchestra in 1911, with his son, Max Felix, a fine player of the Sarah Bass, viola clarinet, particularly in mind. The concerto is unusual in beginning with a relatively slow movement, proceeding to a somewhat faster one, and ending with a vigorous Allegro molto. The most striking passages come at the very beginning, where first the viola and then the clarinet introduce — INTERMISSION — themselves, much as the cello and violin do in the Brahms Double Concerto.

  • Tarkovsky's Musical Aesthetic in the Context of the Sonic Arts
    ESSAY The Music of Sound Tarkovsky’s Musical Aesthetic in the Context of the Sonic Arts VOL. 110 (DECEMBER 2020) BY FLORIAN HOLLERWEGER In his book Sculpting in Time, Andrei Tarkovsky distills the essence of his perspective on cinematic sound into the following statement:​1​ Above all, I feel that the sounds of this world are so beautiful in themselves that if only we could learn to listen to them properly, cinema would have no need of music at all. This aesthetic is directly reflected in Tarkovsky’s oeuvre, such as in the extremely sparse use of film music in the traditional sense in his films Solaris (1972), Stalker (1979), and The Sacrifice (1986). Without additional context, Tarkovsky’s statement could therefore be understood to stand in contradiction to this special issue’s premise that music forms “an intricate component” of Russian cinema that is “weaved into” the very fabric of its films. The following account of a conversation with Tarkovsky by his musical collaborator Eduard Artemyev seems to further support such an argument.​2​ He [Tarkovsky] said: “[…] I do not need an ordinary film music. I cannot stand it, and I do my utmost in order to escape it …” […] In short, he told me at length and eloquently how he didn’t need film music – all these overtures, main themes, lyric songs… “Only ambience, only organisation of sounds and noises […].” These words could be interpreted as a rejection of the use of music in film altogether. In contrast to such a reading, however, I will argue that Tarkovsky’s vision of an “organisation of sounds and noises” exhibits remarkable parallels to larger developments in musical aesthetics of his time.

  • UNIVERSITY of CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Making
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Making Jazz Space: Clubs and Creative Practice in California, Chile, and Siberia A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnomusicology by Alex Warner Rodriguez 2018 © Copyright by Alex Warner Rodriguez 2018 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Making Jazz Space: Clubs and Creative Practice in California, Chile, and Siberia by Alex Warner Rodriguez Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnomusicology University of California, Los Angeles, 2018 Professor Steven J. Loza, Chair Drawing from anthropological fieldwork in three jazz clubs, this dissertation explores the global scale of contemporary jazz practice through an examination of the communities that sustain them in Los Angeles, California; Santiago, Chile; and Novosibirsk, Siberia. These spaces, which bear striking similarities to one another both in terms of architectural aesthetics and community practices despite the vast distance between them, are investigated as instantiations of jazz space informed by logics of jazz listening, and as sites of jazz practice—a process that I call jazz anthropology. It argues that to understand why jazz practices continue to manifest anywhere, we must understand what they mean to people elsewhere—that is, beyond the music’s geographical centers of production on the U.S. East Coast. By attending to these peripheries, we can hear the music as a manifestation of jazz consciousness, as tendrils of black radical modes of thinking transposed to far-flung geographies—even ones that very few black people inhabit. To situate these practices in a longer genealogical timespan, the dissertation also includes brief historical ii sketches of jazz practice in each of the three locations in 1917, 1959, and 1990, demonstrating the long local histories that inform the music in each locale.
