  • Interpreting Tempo and Rubato in Chopin's Music
    Interpreting tempo and rubato in Chopin’s music: A matter of tradition or individual style? Li-San Ting A thesis in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of New South Wales School of the Arts and Media Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences June 2013 ABSTRACT The main goal of this thesis is to gain a greater understanding of Chopin performance and interpretation, particularly in relation to tempo and rubato. This thesis is a comparative study between pianists who are associated with the Chopin tradition, primarily the Polish pianists of the early twentieth century, along with French pianists who are connected to Chopin via pedagogical lineage, and several modern pianists playing on period instruments. Through a detailed analysis of tempo and rubato in selected recordings, this thesis will explore the notions of tradition and individuality in Chopin playing, based on principles of pianism and pedagogy that emerge in Chopin’s writings, his composition, and his students’ accounts. Many pianists and teachers assume that a tradition in playing Chopin exists but the basis for this notion is often not made clear. Certain pianists are considered part of the Chopin tradition because of their indirect pedagogical connection to Chopin. I will investigate claims about tradition in Chopin playing in relation to tempo and rubato and highlight similarities and differences in the playing of pianists of the same or different nationality, pedagogical line or era. I will reveal how the literature on Chopin’s principles regarding tempo and rubato relates to any common or unique traits found in selected recordings.

  • Nikolai Demidenko Live at Wigmore Hall
    HE PERFORMANCES on this two-CD set were recorded during Piano Masterworks, a series of six concerts given by Nikolai Demidenko in Wigmore Hall, London, between TJanuary and June 1993. Devised by AteÛ Orga, under the patronage of The Lord Birkett, sponsored by Lloyds Private Banking, these recitals ranged across 250 years of keyboard music, instrumental technique and the development of modern piano resource – from Scarlatti to Gubaidulina. As a concept the series was modelled on nineteenth-century Romantic practice. In Paris, between 1873 and 1877, Charles-Valentin Alkan gave regular ‘Petits Concerts de Musique Classique’ – six recitals each, surveying the repertoire from Couperin, Bach, Handel and Scarlatti to Weber, Chopin, Schumann and Mendelssohn. Later, the Russian Anton Rubinstein created a cycle of seven Historical Recitals with which he took his farewell of Europe in the mid-1880s. At over three hours individually, these embraced a repertoire from Byrd and John Bull to Balakirev and Tchaikovsky. Like Franz Liszt, Ferruccio Busoni, too, was historically aware, his programming ranging from Bach to Liapunov. COMPACT DISC 1 The Bohemian JAN VÁCLAV VO“ÍŠEK, an exact contemporary of Czerny, studied with his father (like Schubert’s, a schoolmaster) and then with Tomášek, who thought he had such ‘grosses Talent’ that he taught him for nothing. In 1813 he settled in Vienna, ‘the undisputed musical capital of the world’ (Spohr). Here he had lessons from Hummel and Moscheles. He became associated with Beethoven’s circle. He befriended Meyerbeer and Schubert. He conducted concerts of the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde (including Beethoven’s Second Symphony in 1819).

  • The Romantic Piano Concerto
    The Romantic Piano Concerto CATALOGUE HE CONCEPT of The Romantic Piano Concerto series was born at a lunch meeting between Hyperion and the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra sometime in 1990. A few Tmonths later tentative plans had been made for three recordings, and the first volume, of concertos by Moszkowski and Paderewski, was recorded in June 1991. In our wildest dreams, none of us involved then could ever have imagined that the series would still be going strong twenty years later, and with fifty volumes to its credit. These first fifty volumes include 131 works for piano and orchestra, 102 of which are titled ‘Concerto’, the remainder being generally shorter single-movement works or sets of variations. Fifty-nine of these works are premiere recordings and many other featured works have only been recorded once before, often in clearly inferior versions and frequently cut. What has made this series such a success with our public? Broadly, I think, two things: first, the music, and secondly, the performances of it which we have managed to capture on disc. Looking first at the music, it is no secret that the language of the nineteenth century is still the most popular with lovers of classical music—this was also the heyday of the piano concerto. And there is another bonus; the virtuoso display element of a concerto can mean that a work can be satisfying without being profound. Put crudely, a less than ‘great’ symphony is likely to be dull, whereas a concerto need not aspire to greatness to be, at least, entertaining.
