It is the common speech that is understood by all, that appeals to everybody, that enlists the sympathies of man, woman and child, of high and low, of young and old in every walk of life. The PIANO is the universal musical instrument of the home, the instrument that should be in every house- hold. And the greatest among pianos is the STEINWAY, prized and cherished throughout the wide world by all lovers of good music. Or, in the words of a well-known American writer: "Wherever human hearts are sad or glad, and songs are sung, and strings vibrate, and keys respond to love's caress, there is known, respected, revered — loved — the name and fame of STEINWAY."

Raymond & Whitcomb Company n Temple Place Boston Telephone: Beach 6964 210 — Symphony in C major, No.. 34 (Kochel, No. 338) Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (Born at Salzburg, January 27, 1756; died at Vienna, December 5, 1791) This symphony was composed at Salzburg. The score bears the inscription, "di Wolfgango Amadeo Mozart li 29 d' Agosto, Salis- bnrgo, 1780." The symphony is supposed to be the one mentioned by Mozart in his letter from Vienna, April 1 1, 1781 : ''I have lately forgotten to write that the symphony (conducted by the old Bono*) went magnifique^ and had great success. Forty violins played the wind instruments were all doubled—ten violas, ten double- basses, light violoncellos, and six bassoons." The symphony was played for the first time at a concert of the Boston Symphony Orchestra in Boston on April 1, 1899. The last performance at these concerts was on December 17, 1904. *.Toseph Bono, or Bonno, born at Vienna in 1710, died there in 1788. He was the son of a running footman in the service of the Emperor Charles VI.. who sent the boy to Naples to study composition. The Emperor took him on his return into his service as Imperial Conductor and Chamber Composer. Bono wrote these operas : ' "Ezio" ; "II vero omaggio" (1750) ; "Natale di Giova" (1710) ; "Danae" (1744) ; '"II Re pastore" (1751) ; "L'Eroe Cinese" (1752) ; "L'Isola disabitata" (1752) ; '-Atenaide" (1762) ; two oratorios "Isacco" and "San Paolo in Atene," also music for the church. He was one of the greatest singing teachers of his period. He conducted the Wiener ToukCnstler Societat from 1775 till his death, when he was succeeded by Salieri. This society refused to admit Mozart to membership, because he could not present a certificate of baptism.

The minuet was not first introduced into the symphony by Hadyn, as is often stated. There is one in a syymphony in D major by Georg Matthias Monn* composed before 1740. Haydn's first sym- phony was composed in 1759. Gossec's first symphonies were pub- lished in 1754. Sammartini (1734) and others had written sym- phonies before Gossec; but the date of Gossec's introduction of the minuet has not been determined. There were some who thought that a symphony worthy the name should be without a minuet. The learned Hofrath Johann Gottlieb Carl Spazier of Berlin wrote a strong protest which appeared in the number of the Musikalisches Wochenblatt after the issue that announced Mozart's death. He characterized the minuet as a destroyer of unity and coherence. In a dignified work there should be no discordant mirth. If a minuet be allowed, why not a polonaise or a gavotte? The first movement should be in some prevailing mood, joyful, uplifted, proud, solemn, etc. A slow and gentle movement brings relief, and prepares the hearer for the finale or still stronger presentation of the first mood. The minuet is disturbing: it reminds one of the dance-hall and the misuse of music : "When it is caricatured, as is often the case in minuets by Haydn or Pleyel, it excites laughter.

  • Second Thoughts and Short Reviews: Autumn 2017-3
    SECOND THOUGHTS AND SHORT REVIEWS AUTUMN 2017/3 By Brian Wilson and Dan Morgan Reviews are by Brian Wilson except where signed [DM]. Autumn 2017/1 is here and Autumn 2017/2 here. As before, I must remind readers that preparing such a large review – especially large this time – carries the risk of incorrect catalogue numbers or purchase links, though I have tried to make the latter clearer than before. Please check before ordering. Some time ago I mentioned that trusty old Winamp, though it works with downloads in Windows 10, has not been updated for quite some time and that I had noticed occasional glitches. Recently I have been trying another free programme, MusicBee (https://getmusicbee.com/) and have found it to work well after a few initial problems. It does everything that Winamp does and adds the ability to display the artwork, if it’s included in the metadata – which isn’t always the case. An alternative would be MediaGo (http://mediago.sony.com/enu/download), actually designed to work with the high-res digital Sony Walkman, but a useful programme in itself and operating very much like MusicBee.

  • The Viennese Classical Concerto
    THE VIENNESE CLASSICAL CONCERTO The Enlightenment in Tone When the talent-mind of the artist exists and has the conditions to express itself, it seems to develop with great speed and daunting ease. — Clive James CULTIVATING A GARDEN The arts flourish when the environment encourages them to grow. If a life in the arts promises advancement and fulfillment — even if it poses challenges and difficulties — the artists will arise. Bill Atkinson, 1970s Andy Herzfeld Maria Theresa Joseph II Voltaire (1694–1778) Rousseau (1712–1778) Holywell Music Room Oxford Built 1748 Leopold Hofmann Christian Cannabich Samuel Wesley William Boyce Adalbert Gyrowetz Jiri Benda Josef Myslivecek Franz Ignaz Beck Johann Baptist Vanhal Carlos Baguer Antonio Rosetti Carl Friedrich Abel Ignace Joseph Pleyel Joseph Martin Kraus Vacslav Pichl Leopold Kozeluch Karl von Ordoñez Karel Kohout Franz Xavier Richter William Herschel Pieter van Maldere François-Joseph Gossec Franz Krommer Karl Ditters von Dittersdorf Muzio Clementi THE EARLY STYLE The Viennese Classical style required time to grow and develop: it did not spring directly into full maturity. The earlier composers are not well remembered today, but they laid the foundations for Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven to come: Georg Matthias Monn Christoph Wagenseil Ignaz Holzbauer Johann Fux Fux: 1660 - 1741 Holzbauer: 1711 - 1783 Wagenseil: 1715 - 1777 Monn: 1717 - 1750 Haydn: 1732 - 1809 Mozart: 1756 - 1791 GEORG CHRISTOPH WAGENSEIL Harp Concerto in G Minor: I WAGENSEIL 1715–1777 From 1749 to his death he was the court composer to the Hapsburgs in Vienna. Among his students were Marie Antoinette, Franz Xavier Dussek, and Leopold Hoffman. Mozart & Haydn knew his music well.

  • The Correspondence Between Roberto Gerhard and Arnold Schoenberg
    The Correspondence between Roberto Gerhard and Arnold Schoenberg PALOMA ORTIZ‐DE‐URBINA On 18 October 1923 Roberto Gerhard, in a creative crisis and seeking guidance, wrote a long letter to Arnold Schoenberg asking to be accepted as his pupil. Two weeks later he received a positive answer and, full of enthusiasm, left for Vienna at once. There he met Schoenberg and began a master‐pupil relationship that would gradually turn into deep friendship, as attested by fifty‐three extant letters written between 1923 and Schoenberg’s death in 1951. Existing in archives in several countries and, for the most part, unpublished, these letters provide a wealth of information about Gerhard’s personal life and professional career, with interesting insights into Gerhard’s composi‐ tional process.1 There are published editions of letters exchanged between Schoenberg and Alban Berg,2 Anton Webern,3 Wassily Kandinsky4 and Thomas Mann,5 as well as a variety of collections gathering together writings and occasional letters between Schoenberg and various other musicians.6 However, the extensive correspondence 1 A complete edition, in both German and Spanish, of the correspondence between Schoenberg and Gerhard is in preparation by the present writer. 2 Juliane Brand et al.

Thanks go to Sam Girling for setting the musical examples. Abstract In 1816, Beethoven and Steiner agreed on a publishing contract that was at the time unique in the history of music publication. They decided to issue three of Beethoven’s newest orchestral works—Wellington’s Victory, and the Seventh and Eighth Symphonies, opp. 91–93—in arrangements for various combinations of chamber group, simultaneously, and concurrent with the original orchestral edition, which was issued in parts and full score. I discuss how and why this particular enterprise came about, and how it represents circumstances of the time.

    •""*! m f ^W' SYMPH FOUNDED HENRY LEE THURSDAY A EIGHTY-EIGHTH SEASON 1968-1969 Exquisite Sound From the palaces of ancient Egypt to the concert halls of our modern cities, the wondrous music of the harp has compelled attention from all peoples and all countries. Through this passage of time many changes have been made in the original design. The early instruments shown in drawings on the tomb of Rameses II (1292-1225 B.C.) were richly decorated but lacked the fore-pillar. Later the "Kinner" developed by the Hebrews took the form as we know it today. The pedal harp was invented about 1720 by a Bavarian named Hochbrucker and through this ingenious device it be- came possible to play in eight major and five minor scales complete. Today the harp is an important and familiar instrument providing the "Exquisite Sound" and special effects so important to modern orchestration and arrange- ment. The certainty of change makes necessary a continuous review of your insurance protection. We welcome the opportunity of providing this service for your business or personal needs.
