    Citymusic Cleveland: a Conversation with Violinist Adele Anthony by Mike Telin

    CityMusic Cleveland: a conversation with violinist Adele Anthony by Mike Telin After winning the 1996 Carl Nielsen International Violin Competition, Adele Anthony has enjoyed an acclaimed career as a concerto soloist, recitalist and chamber musician. On Thursday, March 12 at 7:30 in Mentor High School’s Performing Arts Center, CityMusic Cleveland will present the first of four free performances featuring Adele Anthony as soloist in Carl Nielsen’s Violin Concerto. (See our concert listings for additional times and locations.) The concerts, led by guest conductor Joaquin Valdepeñas, will also include Grieg’s Peer Gynt Suite No. 1 and Arvo Pärt’s Symphony No. 4, Los Angeles. During a recent telephone conversation I confessed to Adele Anthony that Nielsen’s Violin Concerto is a work with which I am not extremely familiar. “I hear that a lot,” she responded with a laugh. “And it’s too bad because I think it’s a beautiful work that people will appreciate. It has a very gripping opening. I found it to be very attractive from the first time I heard it.” Anthony’s first exposure to the piece was through her violinist father. “As a student in Germany, he studied with the great Hungarian violinist Tibor Varga, who’s recording of the concerto we had at home. My father told me that it is a fantastic piece and that I should learn it. I listened to it and thought it was great, and when I was older I did learn it, later entering the competition with it. And because of that win, I have been able to perform it a lot more than perhaps I would have otherwise.” The concerto is written in a melodic neo-classical style.

Pre-concert conversations are sponsored by Washington University Physicians. 23 PROGRAM NOTES PAUL DUKAS Born October 1, 1865, Paris, France Died May 17, 1935, Paris, France The Sorcerer’s Apprentice If ever a piece of music was victim of its own success, it is surely Paul Dukas’ L’apprenti sorcier. Better known in this country as The Sorcerer’s Apprentice (a slightly inaccurate English translation of its title; more precise would be “The Apprentice Sorcerer”), it scored an immediate success and established Dukas, who was not yet 32, as one of France’s important new composers. Dukas’ inspiration for The Sorcerer’s Apprentice was “Der Zauberlehring,” a ballad-like poem written in 1796 by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Goethe’s poem gives a first-person account of the misadventure that befalls a young man who has been taken on as an apprentice to an aged magician.

    Doctorado en Arte: Producción e Investigación Manuel Verdeguer Beltrán (1908-1988) Trayectoria musical y aportaciones a la escuela moderna del contrabajo TESIS DOCTORAL Autor: Francisco Ruiz Zanón Directores: Antonio Ripollés Mansilla y Vicente Llimerá Dús Tutor: Vicente Barón Linares Valencia, febrero 2020 Agradecimientos Agradezco la inestimable ayuda de Francisco Verdeguer, sobrino del maestro Verdeguer residente actualmente en Valencia, que nos ha ofrecido la oportunidad de investigar sobre la vida de este gran artista, sin duda una de las grandes figuras del patrimonio musical valenciano. Agradecimiento a Manuel Verdeguer, hijo de Manuel Verdeguer Beltrán que reside en Sarasota (Estado de Florida). Agradezco los sabios consejos y el apoyo de mis directores de tesis el Dr. Antonio Ripollés Mansilla y el Dr. Vicente Llimerá Dús. Agradecimiento y dedicatoria de esta tesis a mis profesores de contrabajo Emilio Maravella, Gérard Massat, Jean Ané y Thierry Barbé. Mi agradecimiento a la Universitat Politècnica de València por su apoyo para que esta Tesis Doctoral viera la luz. En especial a la Dra. Teresa Cháfer, Coordinadora del Programa de Doctorado en Arte: Producción e Investigación, por su inestimable ayuda y a mi Tutor el Dr. Vicente Barón Linares por su gestión y buen hacer en los trámites para su defensa. 2 Resumen Manuel Verdeguer Beltrán es el contrabajista español más relevante del siglo XX, con un gran reconocimiento en el continente americano. Nacido en 1908 en Valencia, comenzó tocando el violoncello y posteriormente se consagró como solista y pedagogo del contrabajo, elogiado, entre otros por los maestros Lamote de Grignon y Joaquín Turina. El estudio de la época en la que desarrolló su carrera artística en España nos ha permitido descubrir la crisis económica causada a los intérpretes por la desaparición del cine mudo, así como en el conocimiento del reglamento que regía las condiciones laborales de los músicos.
