    The Pianist's Freedom and the Work's Constrictions

    The Pianist’s Freedom and the Work’s Constrictions What Tempo Fluctuation in Bach and Chopin Indicate Alisa Yuko Bernhard A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Music (Performance) Sydney Conservatorium of Music University of Sydney 2017 Declaration I declare that the research presented here is my own original work and has not been submitted to any other institution for the award of a degree. Alisa Yuko Bernhard 10 November 2016 i Abstract The concept of the musical work has triggered much discussion: it has been defined and redefined, and at times attacked and deconstructed, by writers including Wolterstorff, Goodman, Levinson, Davies, Nattiez, Goehr, Abbate and Parmer, to name but a few. More often than not, it is treated either as an abstract sound-structure or, in contrast, as a culturally constructed concept, even a chimera. But what is a musical work to the performer, actively engaged in a “relationship” with the work he or she is interpreting? This question, not asked often enough in scholarship, can be used to yield fascinating insights into the ontological status of the work. My thesis therefore explores the relationship between the musical work and the performance, with a specific focus on classical pianists of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. I make use of two methodological starting-points for considering the nature of the work. Firstly, I survey what pianists have said and written in interviews and biographies regarding their role as interpreters of works. Secondly, I analyse pianists’ use of tempo fluctuation at structurally significant moments in a selection of pieces by Johann Sebastian Bach and Frederic Chopin.
  • Sat Oct 5 Program Notes

    Sat Oct 5 Program Notes

    PROGRAM NOTES: SAT / OCT 5 By Bill Crane, Director of Audience Engagement, Portland Piano International “When it comes to translating human emotions, the piano is the most perfect instrument I know.” – Marc-André Hamelin in his recent interview for BBC Music Magazine Whether as listener, student, teacher, composer, or performer, one has so many ways to approach the seemingly endlessly varied sonorities of the piano, ripe for expressing myriad emotions. As well, the piano allows a single performer to create such abundance of music – with such satisfying results, when in good hands – that composers for it have stretched its capacities tirelessly, always exploring possibilities. We live in a time well after all constraints of harmonic and formal practice that characterized music before the “modern” period were thrown off. Much of the music after the end of the 19th century, indeed, was quite reflective of the tumultuous times in which the Western world lived with boundless conflict and astounding change. This is particularly true, of course, of the Russian piano tradition, from which we will hear stellar examples in these recitals, but not there only. French music comes to mind, of course, with its own special harmonic innovations and suave, evocative ways. You are about to encounter bazillions of notes, more than seems humanly possible. More important, though, you are in for sublime artistry. This swirling world of music and musical ideas borne of many profound influences, some directly “artistic” and some esoteric (spiritual matters, political intrigue, lovers’ longing and laments), some clear to understand and others distinctly not so. I would bet that a majority of the pieces found in these two programs will be new to you, as they were to me.

    Colloquia Comparativa Litterarum, 2021 Book review: Bulgarian Literature as World Literature, Edited by Mihaela P. Harper and Dimitar Kambourov, New York: Bloomsbury Academic, 2020, iv + 283 pp. ISBN: HB: 978-1-5013-4810-5; ePDF: 978-1-5013-4812-9; eBook: 978-1-5013- 4811-2. [Българската литература като световна литература. Под редакцията на Михаела П. Харпър и Димитър Камбуров] Theo D’haen / Тео Д`хаен University of Leuven / KU Leuven Bulgarian Literature as World Literature is a welcome addition to the Bloomsbury series Literatures as World Literature under the general editorship of Thomas Beebee. The volume provides the general reader with a generous profile of a literature that remains little-known abroad. In fact, one of the avowed aims of the volume is to make Bulgarian literature more visible to the outside world. In a Foreword, Maria Torodova, professor of history at the University of Illinois at Urbana- Champaign, sketches a brief historical perspective of how Bulgaria has considered itself and how it has been considered by others, and how the materials in the volume to follow relate to these views. Her impression is that they illustrate what she sees as an attitude shared among scholars writing on matters Bulgarian, especially when it comes to the country’s history and culture, viz. that they “tread the fine line between defensiveness and push-back”. Todorova’s foreword is followed by an Introduction proper by the volume’s editors. Michaela Harper locates the origins of the volume in her sharing the idea of it with Georgi Gospodinov and Albena Hranova, and following up on it a few years later, spurred by her contribution to Crime Fiction as World Literature, another volume in the 112 Colloquia Comparativa Litterarum, 2021 series Literatures as World Literature.

NEW HAVEN, CONN. Foreword This outline of modern Bulgarian literature is the result of an exchange of memories of Bulgaria between the authors some years ago in New York. We both have visited Bulgaria many times, we have had many personal friends among its scholars and statesmen, and we feel a deep sympathy for the tragic plight of this long-suffering Slavic nation with its industrious and hard-working people. We both feel also that it is an injustice to Bulgaria and a loss to American Slavic scholarship that, in spite of the importance of Bulgaria for the Slavic world, so little attention is paid to the country's cultural contributions. This is the more deplorable for American influence in Bulgaria was great, even before World War I. Many Bulgarians were educated in Robert Col- lege in Constantinople and after World War I in the American College in Sofia, one of the institutions supported by the Near East Foundation. Many Bulgarian professors have visited the United States in happier times. So it seems unfair that Ameri- cans and American universities have ignored so completely the development of the Bulgarian genius and culture during the past century.

Tis paper focuses on the interplay between the political regime, musical life in Bulgaria, and the status of Bulgarian composers. Many books, articles, conferences and PhDs have been presented recently in the feld of cultural studies, promoting a multidisciplinary approach in several felds. A new approach tothis dynamic period would clarify the overall development of Bulgarian musical culture in the twentieth century. Keywords: music, political aspects, Bulgaria, history of the twentieth century, Bulgarian composers Introduction This article focuses on the interplay between the political regime, musical life in Bulgaria and the status of Bulgarian composers between 1944 and 1989. My interest in the history and problems of Bulgarian composers and specifically in the politicization of music during the period of totalitarian rule in Bulgaria (1944–1989) stems from the early days of my musical career and my childhood. Music written by Bulgarian composers has significantly influenced me over the period of my formal education.

    Hello Melancholy

    Hello Melancholy The cycle Hello Melancholy written and published in Capital weekly – www.capital.bg - was awarded the prize Writing for Central and Eastern Europe in 2005 in Vienna ( by the Austrian Press Agency and supported by Bank Austria Creditanstalt) Read more here http://www.apa.at/cee-award/melancholy.pdf In her article, Ivanova captured the complicated mood after the changes in Europe. No one who experienced the changes in Eastern Europe would read her lines without emotion, remarked guest of honor Milan Kucan, former President of Slovenia, praising the prizewinner’s impressive work. APA-news "Text voller Emotionen" Ehrengast Milan Kucan, ehemaliger slowenischer Staatspräsident, lobte den bei der Preisverleihung Mittwoch Abend in Wien vorgetragenen Beitrag ("Frau Bulgarin") der Journalistin als "Text voller Emotionen". Ivanova habe durch sehr persönliche Erzählungen die Stimmung nach der Wende in Europa eingefangen. Ihre Zeilen würden an niemandem, der zur Zeit der Wende in Osteuropa gelebt hat, emotionslos vorüber gehen, so Kucan. Ivanova habe auch spürbar gemacht, "dass heute noch immer Reste der Berliner Mauer übrig geblieben sind."
