Director of Research Head of Department Committee on Final Examination O 1H42 ABSTRACT The purpose of the dissertation is to find out how would a modern-day pianist of a new generation interpret the Liszt opera fantasies for piano--as Liszt wanted it to be done. The foci of the problem were in five interpretative areas of piano performance: tempo, dynamics, phrasing, pedal, and articulation. The study focused on these Liszt opera fantasies: Don Juan (Mozart), La Sonnambula (Bellini), Robert le Diable (Meyerbeer), and Norma (Bellini) . They not only give the best possible sample of Liszt's opera fantasies, but also show the best of the piano transcriptions Liszt had in his repertoire. Primary sources for this study included Dover's Franz Liszt: Piano Transcriptions of French and Italian Operas, Diary Notes of August Gollerich, and past and present recordings of pianists playing the selected fantasies, including Leslie Howard, Ferruccio Busoni, Louis Kentner, Raymond Lewenthal, Ian Hobson, and Michele Campanella.

  • Percy Grainger and New Worlds of Concert Pianism
    Percy Grainger and New Worlds of Concert Pianism: A Study of Repertoire and Programming (1914-1926) Natalie Stephanie Bellio Dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Music (By Research) October 2013 Melbourne Conservatorium of Music The University of Melbourne Produced on archival quality paper Abstract This thesis presents an overview of Percy Grainger’s piano repertoire and programming on his tours in the United States and elsewhere in the period 1914-1926. In the United States, Percy Grainger encountered a new and wider audience, which gave him the recognition he desired to become well established as a concert pianist, and allowed him the freedom to explore a wider range of piano repertoire, as well as perform his own piano works. He developed an individual approach to programming his piano recitals and committed himself to a role as ambassador for the piano works of selected modern composers throughout America, Scandinavia and Australia. This thesis briefly explores Grainger’s performing career in London from 1901 to 1914, to provide background on Grainger’s roles as a pianist, the diversity of the piano repertoire he performed, and the restrictive circumstances surrounding his early career whilst under the management of his mother Rose. Through new research conducted on concert programmes and other relevant archival material available at the Grainger Museum, this thesis examines Grainger’s transformation as a pianist, the evolution of his selection of piano repertoire and his innovative and maturing approach to recital programming in the United States from 1914 to 1926. In addition, this study explores Grainger’s developing professional role as an educator and promoter of his preferred piano repertoire in the United States.

  • Universiv Micrcsilms International
    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. Tlie sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.
