Introduction to Focus 2020 by Joel Sachs The seed for this year’s Focus Festival was planted in December 2018 at a Juilliard doctoral recital by the Chilean violist Sergio Muñoz Leiva. I was especially struck by the sonata of Rebecca Clarke, an Anglo-American composer of the early 20th century who has been known largely by that one piece, now a staple of the viola repertory. Thinking about the challenges she faced in establishing her credibility as a professional composer, my mind went to a group of women in that period, roughly 1885 to 1930, who struggled to be accepted as professional composers rather than as professional performers writing as a secondary activity or as amateur composers.

Volume I These days, labels such as classical, rock and pop mean less and less since young musicians frequently blur boundaries between genres. These young musicians have built an alternative musical universe. I construct five different categories to explore this universe. They are 1) circuits of alternate concert venues, 2) cross-genre collaborations, 3) alternative modes of musical groups, 4) new compositional trends in classical chamber music, and 5) new ensembles and record labels. ii In this dissertation, I aim to explore these five categories, connecting them to recent cultural trends in New York.

    Composer’s Note —Bryce Dessner The music in Frame of Mind is an original composition by Bryce Dessner and in 2018, will be accompanied live by the Australian String Quartet. In 2009, David Harrington asked me to write a piece for Kronos Quartet for a Australian String Quartet performance in Prospect Park, Brooklyn. I live just two blocks from the park and spend For over 30 years, the Australian String Quartet has created unforgettable many mornings running around it. The park for me symbolizes much of what I love performances for national and international audiences. Dedicated to musical about New York, especially the diversity of Brooklyn with its myriad cultures and excellence with a distinctly Australian character, their purpose is to create chemistry communities. My father’s family, Jewish immigrants from Poland and Russia, also lived and amplify intimacy through experiences that connect people with string quartet near the park for many years in the 1940s and 1950s before moving to Queens. music.

Arguably, all composed works could be seen as fictions in the sense that they are creations of the imagination, but we rarely apply the term to music—with the possible exception of the Romantic tone poem or Mahler’s novel-symphonies. There are precedents in spectral and post-spectral music for the creation of “unreal” reflections of nature: consider Gérard Grisey’s description of instrumental synthesis sonorities as “mutants of contemporary music” or Philippe Hurel’s fascination with trompe l’oreille effects. Many of Fineberg’s spectral works of the 1990s and early 2000s (like those of his mentor Tristan Murail) explore correspondences and analogies with the non-musical world, reflecting aspects of subatomic physics (Broken Symmetries), Zen rock gardens (« Receuil de pierre et de sable »), and the chaotic mathematics of fluid dynamics (Streamlines). But in his sonic fictions, Fineberg is not interested in programmatic approaches or the musical modeling of nature. These works are not built around narrative, realism, or mimicry, but rather are indebted to modernist writing that explicitly draws attention to its own fictitiousness.
