    Twelve-Tone Technique and Modality in Nikos Skalkottas's Music

    IMS-RASMB, Series Musicologica Balcanica 1.1, 2020. e-ISSN: 2654-248X Twelve-tone Technique and Modality in Nikos Skalkottas’s Music by George Zervos DOI: https://doi.org/10.26262/smb.v1i1.7754 ©2020 The Author.

Zervos, Twelve-Tone Technique and Modality… Twelve-Tone Technique and Modality in Nikos Skalkottas’s Music George Zervos Abstract In Nikos Skalkottas’s compositional output, the use of modality through the folk tra- dition, is not limited to some of the tonal works, such as the 36 Greek Dances, but it also extends to the strictly or freely twelve-tone works; indeed, this is the case throughout the composer’s creative life. Given the changing character of the ways in which this folk tradition is incorporated into a twelve-tone and, in general, an atonal environ- ment, we chose two works from different periods, in order to show the modes in which the composer manages to connect the various aspects of the twelve-tone with modal- ity: these are the first movement of Sonatina No.2 for violin and piano (1929), and the first movement of Petite Suite No.1 for solo violin and piano (1946). More specifically, in the first case, we will show the ways in which the prime row is transformed into a diatonic- chromatic-like modality, and in the second case we will discuss the function of the combination of two complementary hexachords through which two sets are produced.

Equally adept as solo pianist, collaborative artist, and educator, he exerts a profound influence on the musical community. Kalish commands an extraordinaril broad repertoire, from the 18th century to the present, and his performances have established him as a major figure in American music making. Many of this century's most prominent composers have written new works with Kalish's communicative powers in mind. His concert tours have taken him across the United States and to many of the world's music capitals and university centers. A native New Yorker and graduate of Columbia University, Kalish studied with Leonard Shure, Isabella Vengerova, and Julius Hereford. He is a founding member of the Contemporary Chamber Ensemble and pianist since 1969 for the Boston Symphony Chamber Players. He also appears as a guest artist with such distinguished ensembles as the Juilliard Quartet and the New York Woodwind Quintet.

  • An Arthur Berger

    An Arthur Berger

    AN ARTHUR BERGER New World Records 80360 RETROSPECTIVE with GILBERT KALISH, piano JOEL KROSNICK, cello CHRISTOPHER OLDFATHER, piano JOEL SMIRNOFF, violin DAVID STAROBIN, guitar Members of the Boehm Quintette Arthur Berger is a stalwart of the American concert tradition. No popularizer, he has for some fifty years been producing sturdily crafted pieces that spring from the mixed lineage of Stravinsky, Schoenberg, and Copland. Yet the style is all his own. At times it readily appeals. Always it challenges. Born in 1912 and raised in the Bronx, Berger first studied at City College and New York University, later at the Longy School of Music and at Harvard. He completed his formal education with Nadia Boulanger in Paris. From 1939 to 1943 he taught at Mills College and Brooklyn College, then began writing music criticism for the New York Sun and, principally, the New York Herald-Tribune. In 1953 Berger joined the faculty of Brandeis University; he has also taught at Harvard and the Juilliard School, and is currently on the faculty of the New England Conservatory. Like many of his composer contemporaries, Berger has been an important and prolific writer. In addition to his stints as a journalist, he founded two quite different periodicals, each an outgrowth of the notion of a "little magazine" directed to a special public. The first, The Musical Mercury, was started in 1934 by Berger and Bernard Herrmann--the man later famous as a Hollywood film composer. Although The Musical Mercury included some articles about new works, it mostly explored European compositions of the past. The journal with which Berger is most closely identified, however, is Perspectives of New Music, begun with Benjamin Boretz in 1962.

    Information to Users

    INFORMATION TO USERS While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this manuscript, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. For example: • Manuscript pages may have indistinct print. In such cases, the best available copy has been filmed. • Manuscripts may not always be complete. In such cases, a note will indicate that it is not possible to obtain missing pages. • Copyrighted material may have been removed from the manuscript. In such cases, a note will indicate the deletion. Oversize materials (e.g., maps, drawings, and charts) are photographed by sectioning the original, beginning at the upper left-hand corner and continuing from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. Each oversize page is also filmed as one exposure and is available, for an additional charge, as a standard 35mm slide or as a 17”x 23" black and white photographic print. Most photographs reproduce acceptably on positive microfilm or microfiche but lack the clarity on xerographic copies made from the microfilm. For an additional charge, 35mm slides of 6”x 9” black and white photographic prints are available for any photographs or illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography.
