  • The Family of Leopold Auer in Reminiscences and Letters
    The Family of Leopold Auer in Memories and Letters by Marina Akimova I In 2018 it will be 150 years since Leopold Auer began his teaching career at the St. Petersburg Conservatory. Since his death his name has become synonymous with that of an incomparable pedagogue of violin in the same way as Paganini’s name has become identical to that of a supreme violinist. By now no one knows for certain how exactly he taught his students. Sometimes he is described as merely an adroit manager who helped to organise the concert life of the already accomplished musicians. This opinion can be contradicted by the words of Heifetz who worshipped Auer all his life: “Professor Auer was an extraordinary and incomparable teacher. I do not think that there has ever been anyone to touch him in the whole world. Ask me not how he taught. I know not how to tell you about it because he taught every student entirely differently. Perhaps it was because of this supremely individual approach that he was such a marvellous teacher. For me even half an hour with Auer was sufficient to provide me with emotional and intellectual stimulus. He was possessed of a first class brain, superb sense of humour, marvellous nervous system, and tremendous magnetism. As you see everything in him was superlative.” Of late, interest in Auer and his teaching seems to be everywhere. One can come across his name in the most unusual places, for instance on an internet site or in a new book by Dina Rubin, a contemporary writer in the Russian language.

  • BRITISH and COMMONWEALTH CONCERTOS from the NINETEENTH CENTURY to the PRESENT Sir Edward Elgar
    BRITISH AND COMMONWEALTH CONCERTOS FROM THE NINETEENTH CENTURY TO THE PRESENT A Discography of CDs & LPs Prepared by Michael Herman Sir Edward Elgar (1857-1934) Born in Broadheath, Worcestershire, Elgar was the son of a music shop owner and received only private musical instruction. Despite this he is arguably England’s greatest composer some of whose orchestral music has traveled around the world more than any of his compatriots. In addition to the Conceros, his 3 Symphonies and Enigma Variations are his other orchestral masterpieces. His many other works for orchestra, including the Pomp and Circumstance Marches, Falstaff and Cockaigne Overture have been recorded numerous times. He was appointed Master of the King’s Musick in 1924.

My entire family deserves recognition, for giving encouragement, assistance, and comic relief when I needed it most. I am in great debt to Tristan, who provided comfort, strength, physics references, and a bottomless coffee mug. I would be remiss to exclude my colleagues in the musicology program here at The Florida State University. The environment we have created is incomparable. To Matt DelCiampo, Lindsey Macchiarella, and Heather Paudler: thank you for your reassurance, understanding, and great friendship.
