For sixty-five years. Hardman, Peck & Co. have been solving piano construction problems.

Improves Established with use 18I& Symphony No. 6, in F major, " Pastoral," Op. 68. Ludwig van Beethoven (Born at Bonn, December 16, 1770; died at Vienna, March 26, 1827.) " This symphony—"Sinfonia pastorale —was composed in the country round about Heiligenstadt in the summer of 1808. It was first per- formed at the Theater an der Wien, Vienna, December 22, 1808. The symphony was described on the programme as "A symphony entitled 'Recollections of Life in the Country/ in F major, No. 5 (sic). All the pieces performed were by Beethoven: an Aria, "Ah, perfido," sung by Josephine Kilitzky; Hymn with Latin text written in church style, with chorus and solos; Pianoforte Concerto in G major, played by Beethoven; Grand Symphony in C minor, No. 6 (sic); Sanctus, with Latin text written in church style, with chorus and solos ; Fantasie for pianoforte solo ; Fantasie for pianoforte, "into which the full orchestra enters little by little, and at the end the chorus joins in the Finale." The concert began at half-past six. We know nothing about the pecuniary result. * * * There was trouble about the choice of a soprano. Anna Pauline Milder,* the singer for whom Beethoven wrote the part of Fidelio, was chosen. Beethoven happened to meet Hauptmann, a jeweller, who was courting her, and in a strife of words called him "stupid ass!" •Pauline Anna Milder was born at Constantinople, December 13, 1785. She died at Berlin, May 29, 1838. The daughter of an Austrian courier, or, as some say, pastry cook to the Austrian embassador at Constantinople, and afterward interpreter to Prince Maurojeni, she had a most adventurous childhood. (The story is told at length in von Ledebur's "Tonkunstler-Lexicon Berlin's.") Back in Austria, she studied three years with Sigismund Neukomm. Schikaneder heard her and brought her out in Vienna in 1803, as Juno in Susmayer's "Der Spiegel von Arkadien." She soon became famous, and she was engaged at the court opera, where she created the part of Leonora in "Fidelio." In 1810 she married a jeweller, Hauptmann. She sang as guest at many opera houses and was offered brilliant engagements, and in 1816 she became a member of the Berlin Royal Opera House at a yearly salary of four thousand thalers and a vacation of three months. She retired with a pension in 1831, after having sung in three hundred and eighty operatic performances; she was also famous in Berlin as an oratorio singer. She appeared again in Berlin in 1834, but her voice was sadly worn, yet she sang as a guest in Copenhagen and St. Petersburg. Her funeral was conducted with pomp and ceremony, and it is said that the "Iphigenia in Tauris," "Alceste," and "Armide," her favorite operas, were put into her coffin, a favor she asked shortly before her death.

(She married Hauptmann in 1810, blazed as a star at Berlin from 181 5 to 1829, sang in Russia and Sweden, and died at Berlin in 1838.) Antonia Campi, born Miklasiewicz (1773), was then asked, but her husband was angry because Miss Milder had been invited first, and he gave a rude refusal. Campi, who died in 1822 at Munich, was not only a remarkable singer: she bore seventeen children, among them four pairs of twins and one trio of triplets, yet was the beauty of her voice in no wise affected. Finally Josephine Kilitzky (born in 1790) was persuaded to sing "Ah, perfido." She was badly frightened when Beethoven led her out, and could not sing a note. Rockel says a cordial was given to her be- hind the scenes; that it was too strong, and the aria suffered in con- sequence. Reichardt describes her as a beautiful Bohemian with a beautiful voice. "That the beautiful child trembled more than sang was to be laid to the terrible cold ; for we shivered in the boxes, although wrapped in furs and cloaks." She was later celebrated for her "dramatic colorature." Her voice was at first of only two octaves, said von Ledebur, but all her tones were pure and beautiful, and later she gained upper tones. She sang from 1813 to 1831 at Berlin, and pleased MacDoweli Number The Musician For Teachers, Students, and Lovers of Music The March Number contains: Edward MacDoweli.

His wisdom, grace, and humor will be missed. About The Richard B. Fisher Center for the Performing Arts at Bard College The Richard B. Fisher Center for the Performing Arts, an environment for world-class artistic presentation in the Hudson Valley, was designed by Frank Gehry and opened in 2003. Risk-taking performances and provocative programs take place in the 800-seat Sosnoff Theater, a proscenium-arch space, and in the 220-seat Theater Two, which fea- tures a flexible seating configuration. The Center is home to Bard College’s Theater and Dance Programs, and host to two annual summer festivals: SummerScape, which offers opera, dance, theater, film, and cabaret; and the Bard Music Festival, which celebrates its 23rd year in August with “Saint-Saëns and His World.” The 2013 festival will be devoted to Igor Stravinsky, with a special weekend focusing on the works of Duke Ellington. The Center bears the name of the late Richard B. Fisher, the former chair of Bard College’s Board of Trustees. This magnificent building is a tribute to his vision and leadership. The outstanding arts events that take place here would not be possible without the con- tributions made by the Friends of the Fisher Center.

  • Emmanuel Chabrier an Annotated Bibliography
    Emmanuel Chabrier An Annotated Bibliography Compiled by Weston Sims April 2020 Introduction Emmanuel Chabrier, the obscure yet notable composer, is a subject of common interest for musicologists. Efforts have been made by many to capture his musical essence and personality. Many resources were searched to obtain a general idea of what research has been done, and what areas are still in need of being addressed. Of the methodologies represented, historical research constitutes a large portion of the works listed. Comprehensive biographies, biographical articles, or articles focused on specific areas of Chabrier’s life are all present in the body of research. These biographies span a century of musicological scholarship. Among the most accomplished scholars on Chabrier is Roger Delage. Much of his life was spent researching and writing about Chabrier. Drawing upon letters, documents, and other sources, Delage examined Chabrier’s personality, musical style, and context. Various topics represented in the gathered sources are Chabrier’s songwriting, relationships with Impressionist painters, influences on future composers, and his travels to Spain. His 1999 capstone work Emmanuel Chabrier accounts for one of the most exhaustive biographies in musicological research on Chabrier. The various aspects of his life (childhood, family life, career, professional relationships, health, etc.) are well understood and represented in this research. Musical reception to his works is also well documented. While these biographies usually contain some kind of musical analysis, they typically seek to convey an understanding of their historical context, such as the influence of Impressionist artists on Chabrier’s music. However, that is beginning to shift as musicologists are recognizing the analysis that is left to be done.

  • THE ARTIST and the ENTERTAINERS: EMMANUEL CHABRIER and HIS IMITATORS by MARY HELEN STILL (Under the Direction of Dorothea Link)
    THE ARTIST AND THE ENTERTAINERS: EMMANUEL CHABRIER AND HIS IMITATORS by MARY HELEN STILL (Under the Direction of Dorothea Link) ABSTRACT Composed by Emmanuel Chabrier in 1877, the opera L’Étoile quickly become fodder for “borrowing” by American and British musical comedy collaborators. An American adaptation by Woolson Morse, The Merry Monarch, was produced in 1890, and a British adaptation by Ivan Caryll, The Lucky Star, was produced in London in 1899. Each subsequent version is in no way simply a translation or reproduction of L’Étoile; these are adaptations in a broad sense, with little Chabrier left at all. It is the purpose of this thesis to demonstrate by means of this case study how the musical comedy genre and the popular music industry of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries made use of an established and canonic genre, opera, by investigating what is appropriated and what is not valued in this borrowing process.

  • Chabrier Alexis Emanuel
    CHABRIER ALEXIS EMANUEL Compositore francese (Albert, Alvernia, 18 I 1841 – Parigi 13 IX 1894) Figlio unico di una famiglia borghese, Chabrier si formò in un ambiente dove la tradizione degli studi di diritto e dell'impiego pubblico rappresentavano il punto d'onore, il certificato di appartenenza ad un ceto sociale. Nel 1851 gli Chabrier si trasferirono a Clermont-Fernand e nel 1856 a Parigi, dove Emanuel si laureò nel 1861 e fu assunto nello stesso anno al ministero dell'interno, con la qualifica di soprannumerario; fu quello il primo dei diciotto anni della sua carriera burocratica. Irregolari, di necessità, gli studi musicali. Ad Albert, Chabrier prese lezioni di pianoforte da M. Zaporta e da M. Pitarch, entrambi profughi Carlisti. A Clermont-Ferrand si affidò al violinista polacco Tarnowski. A questa prima infanzia risalgono numerosi pezzi pianistici dai titoli romanticamente descrittivi. Opere, secondo A. Cortot, "assolutamente povere e banali". A Parigi prese lezioni di pianoforte da un altro polacco, E. Wolff, compositore e virtuoso, condiscepolo, ed amico di Chopin. Si esercitò seriamente nella composizione, guidato da E. Semet e successivamente da A. Higuard, musicista di qualche fama, vincitore del Prix de Rome. Funzionario al ministero, Chabrier si inserì nei cenacoli della capitale. I compagni di gioventù erano piuttosto letterati e pittori che musicisti. Carattere gioviale, simpatico e bizzarro, come fa fede il suo epistolario condito di espressioni idiomatiche, Chabrier fu animatore dei circoli parnassiani, dove fece amicizia con C. Méndes, J. Richepin, E. Rostand, P. Verlaine. Era anche intimo di E. Manet (posò due volte per lui, nel 1880 e nel 1881).
