  • Fingering Strategies in the Prelude of J.S. Bach's Sixth
    FINGERING STRATEGIES IN THE PRELUDE OF J.S. BACH’S SIXTH SUITE FOR SOLO CELLO ALEXANDRA CLAIRE PARTRIDGE A dissertation submitted to Massey University and Victoria University of Wellington in partial fulfilment of the degree Masters of Musical Arts in Classical Performance New Zealand School of Music 2014 ABSTRACT The introduction of this exegesis presents a brief history of Bach’s cello suites, explores the relevance and reliability of the manuscript sources and discusses the intended five-stringed instrument for Suite No. 6. Part One compares and contrasts the fingering patterns within selected extracts from eleven different editions of the Prelude. It examines the varying interpretations and takes into account the fingering choices that have been adopted in the publications. Part Two of this exegesis comprises this author’s version of the Prelude. This incorporates the technically and musically convincing fingering patterns found from the research in prior parts of this study, as well as using the author’s own knowledge of cello pedagogy. The ultimate purpose of this research is to provide a comprehensive and informed version in which challenges of playing this movement are largely minimised. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost, my gratitude goes to my family. If it weren’t for their love, support and dedication to my musical growth right from day one, my passion would never have been ignited. A huge thank you goes to my past and present teachers, particularly to David Chickering who first delighted me with the Bach Suites, and to Inbal Megiddo for her encouragement and mentorship. Lastly, I would like to express my appreciation to my supervisor Professor Donald Maurice, because his wisdom, guidance and patience helped me through each stage of this exegesis.

  • Three Transcriptions for Viola and Piano
    Three Transcriptions for Viola and Piano Clara Mathilde Faisst (1872-1948) Adagio Consolante Clara Faisst was born in Karlsruhe in 1872. Her formal education took place in Karlsruhe and Berlin, where her composi- tion teachers included Max Bruch (1838-1920) and Woldemar Bargiel (1828-1897; step-brother of Clara Schumann). She studied piano with Ernst Rudorff (1840-1916; pupil of Clara Schumann). She earned a living in Karlsruhe by teaching, performing, and composing. Her circle of friends included some of the greatest musicians of that era, particularly Albert Schweitzer (1875-1965) with whom she corresponded. Adagio Consolante, opus 7 #1, originally for cello and piano, was published by Simrock in 1902. The composition is ro- mantic, and in spite of the time of publication, is not “salon-style.” The work has a finely crafted melodic line and her use of chromaticism is sophisticated. Numerous slur discrepancies are found when comparing the piano score and the separate cello part. Preference has been given to the markings in the separate cello part because they provide much more logical bow- ings. Performers can compare the markings in the viola transcription to the cello line in the score to see where these discrep- ancies occur. Other discrepancies that demand more detailed resolutions follow. All down-bow and up-bow markings and fingerings are editorial. ps = piano score cp = separate cello part. Measure Problem Solution 8 half note in cp, whole note in ps half note for bowing-ease 13 p in cp, not ps include 21 rit. in ps, not cp include 23 p in ps, not cp include 24 rit.

Michael Musgrave Serious modern discussion of Brahms performance practice has come from the extension of earlier historical performing practice studies into the Romantic period on the valid grounds that Brahms was himself a continuation of this tradition as performer as well as composer. Representative stages have been the recordings of Roger Norrington of the symphonies and German Requiem with the London Classical Players (1991-1996), Robert Pascall’s Playing Brahms: A Study in 19th-century Performance Practice (1991), which partly provided the scholarly background to these recordings, and the collected essays in Performing Brahms: Early Evidence of Performance Practice, (ed.

ELLIS, MANAGER 641 FROM the very beginning of a musical education, nothing is so important as a correct appreciation of tone. Hence the child should receive its early impressions from a Steinv^ay Piano. The exquisite Steinway tone is recognized as ideal, and it has made this instrument world- famous.

The sets of 12 Caprices by Franchomme and Piatti are concert etudes which are studied and performed frequently today. Selected works of these two standard etude books have been examined and analyzed, with regard to technical issues and issues of musicality. This document focuses on the these two books, exploring the history of the cello techniques covered, explaining aspects of the music from a Schenkerian point of view, comparing the similarities and differences in technique and compositional style, and integrating aspects of performance and analysis.
