BALDWIN PIANO RCA VICTOR RECORDS CSl ADAGIO AND FUGUE IN C MINOR FOR STRINGS, K. 546 By Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Born in Salzburg, January 27, 1756; died in Vienna, December 5, 1791 Mozart wrote the fugue at first for two pianofortes, December 29, 1783 (K. 426). In June, 1788, in Vienna, he arranged the piece for strings, adding an intro- duction. It was performed at the concerts of the Boston Symphony Orchestra November 25-26, 1910, Max Fiedler conducting it (according to the program) for the first time in Boston. MOZART, living in a musical age which was harmonically and melodically inclined, was seldom required to compose strict fugues. Masses for the Church called for fugal choral writing, and a great quantity of church music by Mozart, of which his C minor Mass is an outstanding example, is proof in itself of his contrapuntal abili- ties (and yet a traditional master like Padre Martini found Mozart's church music a compromise with the severities of the past). Mozart brought the fugue up to date for eighteenth century uses by giving it the fluent play found in his Overture to The Magic Flute, or in the finale of his "Jupiter" Symphony where all the customary fugal manipulations, cleverly concealed, can be detected by the ex- pert.* The Fugue in C minor, like others which he wrote in his * Mozart, like Beethoven, turned out "canons" for diversion. Sometimes he lifted tfiem to higher purposes, as in his wind octet in C minor. PEOPLE AHEAP OF THE TIMES FLY AIR FRANCE CHARLES MUNCH.

"The effect of the C minor Fugue," so Otto Jahn has written, "rests neither on the sound effects of the pianoforte nor on those of the stringed instruments. It is so broadly conceived, so earnestly and with such ruthless severity carried out, that the external means of expres- sion fall into the background before the energetic enunciation of the laws of form, obeyed consciously, but without servility. Quite other- wise is the case with the introduction, which, written originally for strings, is expressly adapted to their peculiarities of sound effect. The harmonic treatment, and more especially the enharmonic changes, are of extraordinary beauty and depth, and occasion remarkable effects of suspense and climax. Most admirable is the art with which the character of the movement as an introduction is maintained, and the defiant style of the following fugue clearly indicated, at the same time that the mind is tuned to a pitch of longing and melancholy which makes the entry of the categorical fugue a positive relief and stimu- lant."

A copy was found in the State Library in Berlin and was published in the collected edition of Mozart's works in 1886. It was also edited by Professor Friedrich Blume for the Eulenburg edition of miniature scores in 1928. The accompanying orchestra calls for 2 oboes, 2 horns, and strings. THIS music is the very definition of the title (which is more accurate than "Konzertantes Quartett" as it was first published). Like the Konzertante Sinfonie for Violin and Viola (K. 364) , it is sym- phonic in its expanse, in the character of the development. At the same time it is a concerto grosso by the setting of the solo quartet, which is a sort of concertino against the orchestral tutti. The quartet is a unified group rather than a succession of soloists — a Harmonie- musik, where the individual voices are alternated, blended, interlaced, backed by the accompanying orchestra or relieved by the predominant string tone of the tutti.

  • Marquetry on Drawer-Model Marionette Duo-Art
    Marquetry on Drawer-Model Marionette Duo-Art This piano began life as a brown Recordo. The sound board was re-engineered, as the original ribs tapered so soon that the bass bridges pushed through. The strings were the wrong weight, and were re-scaled using computer technology. Six more wound-strings were added, and the weights of the steel strings were changed. A 14-inch Duo-Art pump, a fan-expression system, and an expression-valve-size Duo-Art stack with a soft-pedal compensation lift were all built for it. The Marquetry on the side of the piano was inspired by the pictures on the Arto-Roll boxes. The fallboard was inspired by a picture on the Rhythmodic roll box. A new bench was built, modeled after the bench originally available, but veneered to go with the rest of the piano.

  • The Interest of These Performances Lies First and Foremost
    The interest of these performances lies first and foremost - not to mention finally and most importantly- in the tempos: in the way they are chosen, establi shed, and shrewdly modified by Fiedler in the course of performances which so interestingly live, move and have their being. There are other points of interest. The nature of the use of string portamentos: in the case of Fiedler and the Berlin Philharmonic, the selective and highly discriminating use of it. But it is tempo which is of paramount interest ... Richard Osborne, Gramophone, November 2000 (excetpt) Producer's Note Max Fiedler (1859 - 1939) is one of only two conductors with a direct link to Brahms to have recorded hi s works; the other is Felix Weingartner. Yet, as Christopher D yment pointed out in a pair of articl es published in Classical Record Collector a decade ago (Summer and Autumn, 2002), it would be an overstatement to call him a protCgC of the composer. Fiedler knew Brahms personally, and likely heard him conduct on a few occasions; however, it was as a follower of Hans von Bulow that Fiedler learned what he believed to be the authentic Brahms style, a highly subjective, rhythmically free approach that was at odds with the more restrained Classicism of Fritz Steinbach, who provided a model for the young Weingartner. Nevertheless, by early in the last century, Fiedler had earned the reputation in Germany as a Brahms specialist, and it was in that capacity that he made his only commercial records for Grammophon/ Polydor, all of which are presented here.
