Their technique is often admirable, but their touch is so uncompromisingly uniform from end to end and from top to bottom of a piece that the effect is inevitably automatic. The same is true of player-pianos lacking adequate means of proper accent. On the other hand, it is practically AUTOTONEimpossible to play mechanically on the The Piano ALL can play Either by hand or by perforated music-rolls. The technique of the Autotone is faultless; and, in addition, it possesses most wonderful means of musical expression found in no other instrument. One of the most important of these exclusive features is THE ACCENTOR It places at the finger tips of the most unpractised music-lover the perfect means of proper accent. It enables any one to subdue the accompaniment and bring out the melody ; to accent any chord, note, or series of notes,—all with the utmost ease and simplicity. This accenting is not arbitrarily tnechanical, as when cut in the music-roll, but has all the fascination of individual interpretation. A simple trial of the Autotone at our warerooms or at the warerooms of our representatives in- stantly demonstrates its overwhelming advantages. The Autotone is not a combination of an exterior player made in one factory and a piano made in another. The Autotone is a com- plete and perfect whole, every part being made under one roof. cAtt makes of pianos taken in exchange Convenient terms of payment for the balance can be arranged ART CATALOG SENT ON REQUEST HARDMAIN, PECK & CO., %& 138 Fifth Avenue (corner 19th Street), New York 524 Fulton Street. Brooklyn Represented in Philadelphia by JAMES BELLAK'S SONS, 1129 Chestnut Street Ready to be played A utotone parts are by hand invisible Variations and Fugue on a Merry Theme by J. A. Hileer (1770) for Fuee Orchestra, Op. 100 Max Reger (Born at Brand, Bavaria, on March 19, 1873 ; now living in Eeipsic.) This composition was performed for the first time at a Gurzenich concert, Cologne, October 15, 1907. The concert was conducted by Fritz Steinbach, to whom the work is dedicated. The first performance in the United States was at Philadelphia by the Philadelphia Orchestra, December 20, 1907. The work is scored for two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, double-bassoon, four horns, two trumpets, three trombones, bass tuba, a set of three kettledrums, harp, strings. Reger tells us on the title-page that the melody of Johann Adam Hiller is dated 1770; he gives no further clue to identification of it, nor has any commentator, to my knowledge, identified it. Mr. Johannes Reichert, the editor of the programme books of the symphony concerts of the Royal Orctiestra, Dresden, says it is from a Singspiel of Hiller. Fortunately, there is a set of Hiller's operettas in the Boston Public Library, in the remarkable collection of musical works and books on music given with princely generosity to the citv bv Mr. Allen A. Brown. The theme is from Hiller's operetta, "Der Aerndtekranz " ("The Harvest Wreath"), in three acts. The operetta was published at Leipsic in 1772. Gerber, in his " Historisch-Biographisches Lexicon ' der Tonkiinstler ' (first edition, 1790), gives this date of publication, but says nothing about the year of the performance; Dr. Hugo Rie- mann gives the date of performance "Leipsic, about 1770" ("Opern Handbuch," Leipsic, 1887); Carl Peiser, in his study of J. A, Hiller (Leipsic, 1894), merely mentions the title and the date of publication.

Formerly upright pianos were unsatisfactory by reason of their muffled tone. We found this due to insufficient sounding-board area, and corrected it by the addition of two auxiliary sounding-boards (patented). This gives our Heppe, Marcetlus, and Edouard Jules Pianos the resonance and singing quality of any but the very largest Concert Grand Pianos. Superior to any other upright piano on the market to-day. We have received favorable comments on our invention from authori- ties such as Mme. Adelina Patti; Sig. Paolo Giorza; United States Department of Education, Porto Rico; Marie Tempest, Fritzi SchefL Lillian Russell, Eugene Cowles, Richie Ling, Jefferson de Angelis, Ellen Terry, and others of equal fame.

The melody, with the little instrumental interludes and finale, is followed closely by Reger. The is key the same, B major, and the time is the same, 2-2 ; but the term Andante is unqualified in the original. The words sung by Lieschen are as follows : Gehe, guter Peter, gehe Ich verstehe Wie man dich zuriicke kriegt. Nur ein Wortchen, mix ein Blick, Und er ist vergnugt, Und er kommt zuriick. Will er ja die Stirn in Falten Noch erhalten; Einen Kuss versprech ich dann. Freundlich spitzt er Mund und Ohr, Und er lacht mich an Und er liebt wie vor. This may be freely Englished : Go, good Peter! I know how you are to be won back. Just a word, just a look; he is happy, he returns. If he persists in scowling, I promise him a kiss. Then he puckers his lips and pricks up his ear, and he smiles on me and he loves me as before.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Honors Theses by an authorized administrator of Scholarly Commons @ Ouachita. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Gaston Leroux's 1911 novel, The Phantom of the Opera, has a considerable number of allusions, some of which are accessible to modern American audiences, like references to Romeo and Juilet. Many of the references, however, are very specific to the operatic world or to other somewhat obscure fields. Knowledge of these allusions would greatly enhance the experience of readers of the novel, and would also contribute to their ability to interpret it. Thus my thesis aims to be helpful to those who read The Phantom of the Opera by providing a set of notes, as it were, to explain the allusions, with an emphasis on the extended allusion of the Palais Garnier and the historical models for the heroine, Christine Daae. Notes on Translations At the time of this writing, three English translations are commercially available of The Phantom of the Opera.

This essay will show how this definition of observation is applied to early 20th century American literature in Edith Wharton’s The Age of Innocence (1920) by examining the first chapter of Wharton’s museum cultured novel.

The result was both lavish and intimate.” — NY Magazine • “There was the gobsmacking experience of having the performers right there at one’s elbow, inches away – Cleopatra’s gown wafting against your shoulder as she passed, Miss Havisham’s old lace perfuming the air as her doleful countenance met yours in a transfixing intimacy.

  • Music to My Ears, but Words to My Eyes? Text, Opera and Their Audiences
    Music to my ears, but words to my eyes? Text, opera and their audiences Lucile Desblache Roehampton University To Judi Palmer and Jonathan Burton, surtitlers at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden This paper discusses the translation of opera libretti throughout the history of the genre. Opera was born of a need to make words more prominent in vocal music and to express emotions through their musical setting. We shall first consider how attitudes to languages and to the audiences have im- pacted on different ways of providing translated versions of the operatic text through its relatively short history. Then, we shall focus on the most recent form of transfer available, on surtitling, show how it is governed by a desire for accessibility and is provided within the context of making clas- sical music available to a wider and more diversified public. 1. Introduction: words in opera From Confucius to Jaques Attali, thinkers through the ages have argued that music reflects the civilisation it belongs to but also expresses prophetic vi- sions of society, anticipating historical and social developments to come through its own rules and styles. Although the power of music has always been notable in all human cultures, in the space of less than a century our ways of making, listening to and appreciating music have changed dramati- cally, essentially through the use of technology. This is particularly visible in compositions which combine words with music, as we now have the means to make the text as prominent or discreet as we wish, and it is the case in all vocal music genres, from pop to opera.

  • “Can't Help Singing”: the “Modern” Opera Diva In
    “CAN’T HELP SINGING”: THE “MODERN” OPERA DIVA IN HOLLYWOOD FILM, 1930–1950 Gina Bombola A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Music in the College of Arts and Sciences. Chapel Hill 2017 Approved by: Annegret Fauser Tim Carter Mark Katz Chérie Rivers Ndaliko Jocelyn Neal ©2017 Gina Bombola ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Gina Bombola: “Can’t Help Singing”: The “Modern” Opera Diva in Hollywood Film, 1930–1950 (Under the direction of Annegret Fauser) Following the release of Columbia Pictures’ surprise smash hit, One Night of Love (1934), major Hollywood studios sought to cash in on the public’s burgeoning interest in films featuring opera singers. For a brief period thereafter, renowned Metropolitan Opera artists such as Grace Moore and Lily Pons fared well at the box office, bringing “elite” musical culture to general audiences for a relatively inexpensive price. By the 1940s, however, the studios began grooming their own operatic actresses instead of transplanting celebrities from the stage. Stars such as Deanna Durbin, Kathryn Grayson, and Jane Powell thereby became ambassadors of opera from the highly commercial studio lot. My dissertation traces the shifts in film production and marketing of operatic singers in association with the rise of such cultural phenomena as the music-appreciation movement, all contextualized within the changing social and political landscapes of the United States spanning the Great Depression to the Cold War. Drawing on a variety of methodologies—including, among others, archival research, film analysis, feminist criticisms, and social theory—I argue that Hollywood framed opera as less of a European theatrical art performed in elite venues and more of a democratic, albeit still white, musical tradition that could be sung by talented individuals in any location.

  • Contrarianism in the Philosophy of Music and the Role of the Idea in Musical Hermeneutics and Performance Interpretation1
    teorema Vol. XXXI/3, 2012, pp. 137-148 ISSN: 0210-1602 [BIBLID 0210-1602 (2012) 31:3; pp. 137-148] Contrarianism in the Philosophy of Music and the Role of the Idea in Musical Hermeneutics and 1 Performance Interpretation Sara E. Eckerson RESUMEN El tema central de este ensayo es la investigación de dos tipos de interpretación musical: la interpretación crítica en la tradición de la hermenéutica musical y la inter- pretación como ejecución. Se discutirá también la filosofía de la música de Søren Kierkegaard en relación, específicamente, con el tema de cómo una idea puede ser expresada por medio de la música. Las interpretaciones hermenéutico-musical y de la ejecución serán vistas, en el caso de Richard Wagner, no como actividades irreconci- liables, sino más bien como la progresión de un argumento basado en la ilustración del significado tangible en música. PALABRAS CLAVE: hermenéutica musical, interpretación musical, significado musical, Richard Wagner, G.W.F. Hegel, Søren Kierkegaard ABSTRACT Two kinds of musical interpretation will be explored in this essay: critical inter- pretation in the tradition of musical hermeneutics and interpretation as performance. Søren Kierkegaard’s philosophy of music will also be discussed, specifically on how an idea in music is expressed. Richard Wagner’s musical hermeneutic and perform- ance interpretations will emerge from this background not as irreconcilable activities, but rather as the progression of an argument based on the illustration of tangible meaning in music. KEYWORDS: Musical Hermeneutics; Musical Interpretation; Musical Meaning; Rich- ard Wagner; G.W.F. Hegel; Søren Kierkegaard.

  • Class 12: Opera Through the Lens
    Class 12: Opera through the Lens A. Brief Beginning with Boris 1. Title Slide 1 (Mozart portraits) Most of this first hour will be about Mozart, but some general points first. I would guess that most of the operas we see nowadays, and certainly everything I have shown in this class, has been mediated through the eye of the camera. What does this mean? I want you to go back and watch again a two- minute clip from last week’s Moses und Aron, the episode of the crippled woman healed by the Golden Calf, and ask yourself: what does the camera give us that we would not see in the theater? 2. Schoenberg: Moses und Aron, healing of the crippled woman _10:01_ 3. — still from the above So what does the camera give us? Close-ups, obviously, and different angles. You see the action from the auditorium, from overhead, and even apparently from the stage itself. You focus first on the face of the stricken woman, but then tellingly on that extraordinary thing she does with her feet. And—which is extremely important in a modern-dress production with no obvious make-up—you see the chorus as individuals, mostly young people with their own personal investment in the story. But the power of the camera also has another consequence. Everything we have seen in this course has been an interpretation of an interpretation, dependent upon the decisions of the video director. I could probably fill half a class with examples of the subtle differences such choices can make, but with limited time, I have to work in broader strokes.

  • Revising Perspectives on Nineteenth-Century Jewish Composers: a Case Study Comparison of Ignaz Brüll and Salomon Jadassohn
    Revising Perspectives on Nineteenth-Century Jewish Composers: A Case Study Comparison of Ignaz Brüll and Salomon Jadassohn by Adana Whitter B.A., Universit y of British Columbia, 2009 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Music) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) March 2013 © Adana Whitter, 2013 i Abstract The influence of anti-Semitism on the lives and careers of Jewish musicians within the social climate of nineteenth-century Europe is well known. Pamela Potter, Sander Gilman, Philip Bohlman, and K. M. Knittel have thoroughly explored the anti-Semitic treatment of Jewish composers during this period. Definitions of the experience of Jewish composers have been crystallized on the basis of prominent cases, such as Gustav Mahler or Alexander Zemlinsky, who were actively discussed in the press or other publications. The goal of this study is to examine whether the general view of anti-Semitism, as shown in those studies, applies to other Jewish composers. To this aim, this thesis will introduce two lesser known Jewish composers, Ignaz Brüll (1846-1907) and Salomon Jadassohn (1831-1902) as case studies, consider closely their particular situations at the end of the nineteenth century, and assess their positions vis-à-vis the general views of how musician Jews were treated in these societies. Chapter One outlines the historical and political context in Germany and Austria, where these two composers resided, in order to understand where they fit into that context. Chapter Two focuses on Jewishness in music, the difficulties involved in defining Jewish music, along with the contributions of other Jewish composers to the wider European culture, and makes clear the important part anti- Semitism played in the process of identification during this period.
