  • An Arthur Berger
    AN ARTHUR BERGER New World Records 80360 RETROSPECTIVE with GILBERT KALISH, piano JOEL KROSNICK, cello CHRISTOPHER OLDFATHER, piano JOEL SMIRNOFF, violin DAVID STAROBIN, guitar Members of the Boehm Quintette Arthur Berger is a stalwart of the American concert tradition. No popularizer, he has for some fifty years been producing sturdily crafted pieces that spring from the mixed lineage of Stravinsky, Schoenberg, and Copland. Yet the style is all his own. At times it readily appeals. Always it challenges. Born in 1912 and raised in the Bronx, Berger first studied at City College and New York University, later at the Longy School of Music and at Harvard. He completed his formal education with Nadia Boulanger in Paris. From 1939 to 1943 he taught at Mills College and Brooklyn College, then began writing music criticism for the New York Sun and, principally, the New York Herald-Tribune. In 1953 Berger joined the faculty of Brandeis University; he has also taught at Harvard and the Juilliard School, and is currently on the faculty of the New England Conservatory. Like many of his composer contemporaries, Berger has been an important and prolific writer. In addition to his stints as a journalist, he founded two quite different periodicals, each an outgrowth of the notion of a "little magazine" directed to a special public. The first, The Musical Mercury, was started in 1934 by Berger and Bernard Herrmann--the man later famous as a Hollywood film composer. Although The Musical Mercury included some articles about new works, it mostly explored European compositions of the past. The journal with which Berger is most closely identified, however, is Perspectives of New Music, begun with Benjamin Boretz in 1962.

    Eastern Washington University Music Department Presents A Graduate Lecture Recital Davis Hill, piano Fun and Finney Games for the Intermediate Piano Student Friday, May 10, 2019 5:00pm Eastern Washington University Music Recital Hall Student from the Studio of Dr. Jody Graves This recital is presented as partial fulfillment of the Master of Arts Degree in Music-Piano Brief Biography of Ross Lee Finney: Ross Lee Finney was a prolific voice in American music for over fifty years. In her book, Ross Lee Finney: A Bio-Bibliography, Hitchens puts Finney's catalogue at 100 over completed works, including four symphonies; concerti for piano, saxophone, and violin; electronic works for tape (musique concrète); many chamber, choral, and solo piano works; and three volumes of pedagogical piano music dedicated to contemporary notation and techniques, the second of which, 32 Piano Games, is the object of this study. Ross Lee Finney lived from 1906 to 1997 and was born in Wells, Minnesota. His early training was at Carleton College and the University of Minnesota, where he studied with Donald Ferguson. Principal teachers later in life include Nadia Boulanger in France, Alban Berg in Austria, Edward Burlinghame-Hill at Harvard University, and Roger Sessions. Brief Description of 32 Piano Games: The current study is an in-depth analysis of composer Ross Lee Finney's 1969 work, 32 Piano Games. 32 Piano Games comprises thirty-two short pieces intended for beginning and intermediate piano students. The movements are roughly ordered by progressive difficulty and complexity, slowly adding new musical elements and redefining old ones introduced in previous movements.

Mikrokosmos and 32 Piano Games: Introducing Contemporary Musical Language and Developing Piano Technique for the Beginning Student. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), August 2011, 83 pp., 7 tables, 26 musical examples, bibliography, 50 titles. As new musical styles have emerged in the twentieth century with characteristic sounds, chords, forms, meters, and intervals, teachers need to broaden and re-define the way they introduce musical concepts to beginning piano students. The purpose of this study is to offer different instructional possibilities aside from conventional methods of teaching beginning pianists. This is accomplished through a comparison of the two different approaches of the Hungarian composer Béla Bartók and the American composer Ross Lee Finney. Bartók’s Mikrokosmos, a graded set of 153 pieces, and Finney's 32 Piano Games are examined through this paper. Copyright 2011 by Hyun-Joo Song ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS It is an honor to thank all those who made this dissertatiopn possible. I would like to express my gratitude for the encouragement and support from my major professor Pamela Mia Paul, and also appreciate the help and contributions of the two other committee members : Elvia Puccinelli and Gustavo Romero.
