Master of Music (Theory), August, 1995, 86 pp., 22 examples, 5 figures, bibliography, 122 titles. This thesis presents an analysis of Copland's first major serial work, the Quartet for Piano and Strings (1950), using pitch-class set theory and tonal analytical techniques. The first chapter introduces Copland's Piano Quartet in its historical context and considers major influences on his compositional development. The second chapter takes up a pitch-class set approach to the work, emphasizing the role played by the eleven-tone row in determining salient pc sets. Chapter Three re-examines many of these same passages from the viewpoint of tonal referentiality, considering how Copland is able to evoke tonal gestures within a structural context governed by pc-set relationships. The fourth chapter will reflect on the dialectic that is played out in this work between pc-sets and tonal elements, and considers the strengths and weaknesses of various analytical approaches to the work.

  • Belcea Quartet Corina Belcea (Violine), Axel Schacher (Violine), Krzysztof Chorzelski (Viola), Antoine Lederlin (Violoncello)
    „[…] das Auffälligste war der Geist der Freiheit“ BELCEA QUARTET CORINA BELCEA (VIOLINE), AXEL SCHACHER (VIOLINE), KRZYSZTOF CHORZELSKI (VIOLA), ANTOINE LEDERLIN (VIOLONCELLO) ...wie die London Times im Frühjahr 2019 schrieb, diese Musiker lassen sich nicht von Grenzen einengen. Mit der rumänischen Violinistin Corina Belcea und dem polnischen Bratschisten Krzysztof Chorzelski brachten 1994 gleich zwei Gründungsmitglieder eine unterschiedliche künstlerische Herkunft in das Ensemble ein, die durch die französischen Musiker Axel Schacher (Violine) und Antoine Lederlin (Violoncello) erweitert wurde. Dies gibt auch die Bandbreite ihres Repertoires wieder: So haben sie bereits sämtliche Streichquartette von Bartók, Beethoven, Brahms (Diapason d'or de l'année 2016) und Britten eingespielt und stellen dem Publikum immer wieder neue Werke von aktuellen Komponisten wie Joseph Phibbs (2018), Krzysztof Penderecki (2016), Thomas Larcher (2015) und Mark-Anthony Turnage (2014 & 2010) vor. Diese Auftragswerke entstehen in Zusammenarbeit mit der eigenen Stiftung des Quartetts, deren Ziel es zum einen ist die Streichquartettliteratur stetig zu erweitern, und zum anderen junge Quartette durch gemeinsame konzentrierte Probenarbeit zu unterstützen. So können sie auch die Erfahrungen, die sie selbst als Schüler vom Amadeus & Alban Berg Quartett gemacht haben an die nächste Generation weitergeben. Neben den Gesamtaufnahmen kann das Quartett auf eine mannigfaltige Diskographie mit Aufnahmen (u.a.) von Berg, Dutilleux, Mozart, Schönberg & Schubert verweisen. Zu den neueren Einspielungen zählen das Schostakowitsch Album, mit dem 3. Streichquartett sowie dem Klavierquintett mit Piotr Anderszewski, das im April 2018 erschienen ist, sowie die Streichquartette von Janáček & Ligetis ‚Metamorphoses nocturnes’, die im Frühjahr 2019 veröffentlicht wurden. Ihre Aufführungen aller Beethoven Streichquartette im Konzerthaus Wien 2012 erschien im Herbst 2014 beim Label EuroArts auf DVD, gefolgt von der Einspielung der drei Streichquartette Brittens im Herbst 2015.

  • Guide to Repertoire
    Guide to Repertoire The chamber music repertoire is both wonderful and almost endless. Some have better grips on it than others, but all who are responsible for what the public hears need to know the landscape of the art form in an overall way, with at least a basic awareness of its details. At the end of the day, it is the music itself that is the substance of the work of both the performer and presenter. Knowing the basics of the repertoire will empower anyone who presents concerts. Here is a run-down of the meat-and-potatoes of the chamber literature, organized by instrumentation, with some historical context. Chamber music ensembles can be most simple divided into five groups: those with piano, those with strings, wind ensembles, mixed ensembles (winds plus strings and sometimes piano), and piano ensembles. Note: The listings below barely scratch the surface of repertoire available for all types of ensembles. The Major Ensembles with Piano The Duo Sonata (piano with one violin, viola, cello or wind instrument) Duo repertoire is generally categorized as either a true duo sonata (solo instrument and piano are equal partners) or as a soloist and accompanist ensemble. For our purposes here we are only discussing the former. Duo sonatas have existed since the Baroque era, and Johann Sebastian Bach has many examples, all with “continuo” accompaniment that comprises full partnership. His violin sonatas, especially, are treasures, and can be performed equally effectively with harpsichord, fortepiano or modern piano. Haydn continued to develop the genre; Mozart wrote an enormous number of violin sonatas (mostly for himself to play as he was a professional-level violinist as well).

  • A Tonal Analysis of the First String Quartet, Opus 37, by Karol Szymanowski
    A TONAL ANALYSIS OF THE FIRST STRING QUARTET, OPUS 37, BY KAROL SZYMANOWSKI By PAUL CADRIN M.A., McGill University, 1979 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES ''Department of Music) We' accept this thesis/a^ conforming to t^ne /req^ir^d standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA December 1985 © Paul Cadrin, 1985 In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and study. I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the head of my department or by his or her representatives.

MUSIC Department of The University of British Columbia 1956 Main Mall Vancouver, Canada V6T 1Y3 Date 23 April I986 ABSTRACT In 1917, at the peak of the most productive period of his creative life, the Polish composer Karol Szymanowski (1882-1937) undertook his First String Quartet in C, opus 37. Of the four movements originally planned, three were published in 1925. These three movements reflect important directions in the evolution of the composer's style: from a youthful fervor toward German late romanticism (First Movement), through Szymanowski*s discovery of French impressionism (Second Movement), to his most daring experiment with polytonality (Third Movement). The complexity of this work, particularly of its tonal-harmonic language, raises questions which this dissertation proposes to answer.

Beethoven, Symphony No. 3 in Ef Major, op. 55 (“Eroica”) or Beethoven, Symphony No. 3 in E-flat Major, op. 55 (“Eroica”) Either solution is correct. (The use of lowercase b and the num- ber symbol # for Ef and F# is not.) For most applications the spelled-out version ends posing fewer challenges to design and layout. 1.2 Generic Titles. Generic titles are those, in English, that use such describers as symphony, concerto, fantasia, and the like, often with an identifying opus or catalog number appended.
