Photo Courtesy of the Civic Symphony Orchestra of Boston il&K&si BSO Our Alumni/ae "Our" here means the Berkshire Music Center at Tanglewood. From time to time we shall bring you news of some of the former BMC students and their doings. The alumnus most prominently in the news this year is Zubin Mehta, who was a Fellow in 1958 and is now beginning his first season as Music Director of the New York Philharmonic. That was a good year for conductors at Tangle- wood: one of Mehta's classmates was Claudio Abbado, whose current posts include the Vienna Philharmonic, the London Symphony, and Milan's La Scala opera house. Abbado will be guest conductor with the Boston Symphony on 8, 9, and 10 March, leading Mahler's Symphony No. 2, the Resurrection. Pianist Barbara Weintraub '77 recently took first place in the international competition in Munich as half of the best sonata team. Her partner was cellist Carter Brey. Weintraub and Brey, together with violinist Karen Clarke, also Tanglewood '77, have been performing together to great acclaim as the Rogeri Trio. Two players who have just joined the BSO are former Tanglewood students: violinist Joseph McGauley '75 and flutist Fenwick Smith 74. Another pianist, Janice Weber, who was a Fellow in 1975 and 1976, will give her second Carnegie Recital Hall concert on 31 October. Don't look for her under that name, though: she performs as Lily van Ballmoos. Billed as a Musical Mas- querade, her program consists of ten of the famous and fearsomely difficult tran- scriptions by Leopold Godowsky, each of which will be paired with the piece in its original version. Violinist Ann Ourada '72, '75, and '78 joined the Minnesota Orchestra for the 1978-79 season. David Howard '77 and '78 is the new bass clarinettist of the New Jersey Symphony. Three of the soloists in Bruckner's Te Deum, which Seiji Ozawa conducts on 11, 12, 13, and 16 January, are Tanglewood alumni. They are soprano Cheryl '76 '77 Studer '76 and '77, mezzo-soprano Janice Meyerson and , and tenor Kim Scown '76 and '77. If you watched Berlioz's Beatrice and Benedict on Evening at Symphony on 16 October, you saw and heard Janice in the role of Ursule. Kim Scown will be appearing as Klaus-Narr in Schoenberg's Gurre-Lieder when Seiji Ozawa conducts the work in March: he took the same part in the performance Gunther Schuller conducted at his farewell concert at the New England Conser- vatory in May 1977. Finally there is Shirley Mae Carter '54, who starred in the recent Norma broad- cast from the San Francisco Opera. Name doesn't ring a bell? Try Shirley Verrett. This Coach® Belt is made of real glove tanned cowhide and conies in men's and women's sizes. Seiji Ozawa Seiji Ozawa became Music Director of the Boston Symphony Orchestra in the fall of 1973. He is the thirteenth conductor of the Orchestra since its founding in 1881. He was born in Shenyang, China in 1935, and studied both Western and Oriental music as a child. He attended Toho School of Music in / Tokyo and graduated with first prizes in composition and conducting. Shortly after his graduation, he won first prize at the International Competition of Conducting at Besancon, France, and was invited by Charles Munch, then Music Director of the Boston Symphony and a judge at the competition, to spend a summer studying at Tanglewood. In 1964 and for the next five seasons, Mr. Ozawa was Music Director of the Ravinia Festival. At the beginning of the 1965-66 season he became Music Director of the Toronto Symphony, a position he relinquished four seasons later to study and guest conduct. In 1970 he accepted the position of Artistic Director of the Berkshire Music Festival, and in December of the same year he began his inaugural season as Conductor and Music Director of the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra, titles that he held concurrently with his position as Music Director of the Boston Symphony. In the spring of 1976 he resigned his San Francisco position although he remained Honorary Conductor for the 1976-77 season. Mr. Ozawa pursues an active international career and is a regular and favorite guest conductor with the Berlin Philharmonic, the Orchestre de Paris, and at the Salzburg Festival each year. He has conducted at Covent Garden, and returns to Japan annually to conduct the New Japan Philharmonic and other orchestras. The newest items on his large and growing discography with the Boston Symphony are Bartok's Miraculous Mandarin Suite, and Music for Strings, Percussion, and Celeste, Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 5, the Brahms First Symphony, and Rimsky-Korsakov's Sheherazade (all on Deutsche Grammophon), and Roger Sessions's When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'diNew World Records).

Molto allegro PROGRAM NOTES BY DR. RICHARD E. RODDA FRANZ SCHUBERT Overture and Ballet Music No. 2 from the Incidental Music to Rosamunde, D. 644 (1820 and 1823) Franz Schubert was born in Vienna on January 31, 1797, and died there on November 19, 1828. He composed the music for Rosamunde during the years 1820 and 1823. The ballet was premiered in Vienna on December 20, 1823 at the Theater-an-der-Wein, with the composer conducting. The Incidental Music to Rosamunde was first performed by the Pittsburgh Symphony on November 9, 1906, conducted by Emil Paur at Carnegie Music Hall. Most recently, Lorin Maazel conducted the Overture to Rosamunde on March 14, 1986. The score calls for pairs of woodwinds, four horns, two trumpets, three trombones, timpani and strings. Performance tine: approximately 17 minutes Schubert wrote more for the stage than is commonly realized. His output contains over a dozen works for the theater, including eight complete operas and operettas. Every one flopped. Still, he doggedly followed each new theatrical opportunity that came his way.

    STRAVINSKY’S NEO-CLASSICISM AND HIS WRITING FOR THE VIOLIN IN SUITE ITALIENNE AND DUO CONCERTANT By ©2016 Olivia Needham Submitted to the graduate degree program in School of Music and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts. ________________________________________ Chairperson: Paul Laird ________________________________________ Véronique Mathieu ________________________________________ Bryan Haaheim ________________________________________ Philip Kramp ________________________________________ Jerel Hilding Date Defended: 04/15/2016 The Dissertation Committee for Olivia Needham certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: STRAVINSKY’S NEO-CLASSICISM AND HIS WRITING FOR THE VIOLIN IN SUITE ITALIENNE AND DUO CONCERTANT ________________________________________ Chairperson: Paul Laird Date Approved: 04/15/2016 ii ABSTRACT This document is about Stravinsky and his violin writing during his neoclassical period, 1920-1951. Stravinsky is one of the most important neo-classical composers of the twentieth century. The purpose of this document is to examine how Stravinsky upholds his neoclassical aesthetic in his violin writing through his two pieces, Suite italienne and Duo Concertant. In these works, Stravinsky’s use of neoclassicism is revealed in two opposite ways. In Suite Italienne, Stravinsky based the composition upon actual music from the eighteenth century. In Duo Concertant, Stravinsky followed the stylistic features of the eighteenth century without parodying actual music from that era. Important types of violin writing are described in these two works by Stravinsky, which are then compared with examples of eighteenth-century violin writing. iii Igor Stravinsky (1882-1971) was born in Oranienbaum (now Lomonosov) in Russia near St.
