    RACHMANINOFF’S RHAPSODY ON A THEME BY PAGANINI, OP. 43: ANALYSIS AND DISCOURSE Heejung Kang, B.A., M.M. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2004 APPROVED: Pamela Mia Paul, Major Professor and Program Coordinator Stephen Slottow, Minor Professor Josef Banowetz, Committee Member Steven Harlos, Interim Chair of Piano Jessie Eschbach, Chair of Keyboard Studies James Scott, Dean of the College of Music Sandra L. Terrill, Interim Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Kang, Heejung, Rachmaninoff’s Rhapsody on a Theme by Paganini, Op.43: Analysis and Discourse. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), May 2004, 169 pp., 40 examples, 5 figures, bibliography, 39 titles. This dissertation on Rachmaninoff’s Rhapsody on a Theme by Paganini, Op.43 is divided into four parts: 1) historical background and the state of the sources, 2) analysis, 3) semantic issues related to analysis (discourse), and 4) performance and analysis. The analytical study, which constitutes the main body of this research, demonstrates how Rachmaninoff organically produces the variations in relation to the theme, designs the large-scale tonal and formal organization, and unifies the theme and variations as a whole. The selected analytical approach is linear in orientation - that is, Schenkerian. In the course of the analysis, close attention is paid to motivic detail; the analytical chapter carefully examines how the tonal structure and motivic elements in the theme are transformed, repeated, concealed, and expanded throughout the variations. As documented by a study of the manuscripts, the analysis also facilitates insight into the genesis and structure of the Rhapsody.

    Ravel & Rachmaninoff

    NOTES ON THE PROGRAM BY LAURIE SHULMAN, ©2017 2018 Winter Festival America, Inspiring: Ravel & Rachmaninoff ONE-MINUTE NOTES Martinů: Thunderbolt P-47. A World War II American fighter jet was the inspiration for this orchestral scherzo. Martinů pays homage to technology, the machine age and the brave pilots who risked death, flying these bombers to win the war. Ravel: Piano Concerto in G Major. Ravel was enthralled by American jazz, whose influence is apparent in this jazzy concerto. The pristine slow movement concerto evokes Mozart’s spirit in its clarity and elegance. Ravel’s wit sparkles in the finale, proving that he often had a twinkle in his eye. Rachmaninoff: Symphonic Dances. Rachmaninoff’s final orchestral work, a commission from the Philadelphia Orchestra, brings together Russian dance and Eastern European mystery. Listen for the “Dies irae” at the thrilling close. MARTINŮ: Thunderbolt P-47, Scherzo for Orchestra, H. 309 BOHUSLAV MARTINŮ Born: December 8, 1890, in Polička, Czechoslovakia Died: August 28, 1959, in Liestal, nr. Basel, Switzerland Composed: 1945 World Premiere: December 19, 1945, in Washington, DC. Hans Kindler conducted the National Symphony. NJSO Premiere: These are the NJSO premiere performances. Duration: 11 minutes Between 1941 and 1945, Republic Aviation built 15,636 P-47 Thunderbolt fighter planes. Introduced in November 1942, the aircraft was a bomber equipped with machine guns. British, French and American air forces used them for the last three years of the war. Early in 1945, the Dutch émigré conductor Hans Kindler commissioned Bohuslav Martinů—himself an émigré from Czechoslovakia who had resided in the United States since March 1941—to write a piece for the National Symphony Orchestra.
  • Reading Comprehension Sergei Rachmaninoff

    Reading Comprehension Sergei Rachmaninoff

    Sergei Rachmaninoff Comprehension Sergei Rachmaninoff was born April 1st 1873 and is classed as a composer from the Romantic period. He was one of the most important Russian composers of the early 20th century but was also a wonderful pianist. Throughout his school life, Rachmaninoff constantly impressed his teachers with his talents for composition and piano playing. At 18, he composed his First Piano Concerto, which really showcased his abilities. Despite excellent training and guidance from Tchaikovsky, Russia’s most famous composer at the time, Rachmaninoff’s career was slow to get started. When his first symphony was performed, people really didn’t like it, therefore he lost confidence and found himself unable to compose. To solve this problem he visited a hypnotist who repeated the phrase, “You will write your Concerto. You will write your Concerto….”, and he did! Rachmaninoff produced his most famous work, ‘Piano Concerto in C minor.’ His confidence grew and he went on to compose many other pieces. After the Russian Revolution in 1917, Rachmaninoff left Russia to move to Switzerland. He then travelled to America where he was offered many positions as a conductor. He toured regularly, both conducting and performing. Rachmaninoff had a phenomenal memory and could hear a piece of music and play it back without sheet music. In 2014, his original ‘Symphony No. 2 Manuscript’ was the highest priced item in an auction, selling for over one million pounds, and double the price of a signed score by Mozart. After a successful career, he died in California at the age of 69.

  • Grigori Sokolov

    Grigori Sokolov

    GRIGORI SOKOLOV at the Théâtre des Champs- Elysées - Paris, 2002 A dim light picks out the outlines of the hall. Suddenly a massive shadow appears and moves swiftly over to the keyboard, the only brightly lit surface to stand out from the large coffin- like box in the center of the stage. There follows the vaguest of unsmiling acknowledgments in the general direction of the audience, and then the music begins. Throughout the next two hours this music will keep its listeners enthralled with its extraordinary intensity as the audience senses the formidable physical, pianistic, musical and emotional presence of this most secretive of present- day pianists, Grigory Sokolov. S ecretive, he certainly is. A man of vast culture, cheerful and even mischievous offstage, he seems to be cocooned within his own irrefutable logic. Only his musical thoughts are susceptible of being imparted to the public, thoughts embodied beneath his fingers with the utmost interiority and within the ephemeral and exclusive framework of the concert hall. All other considerations, including those of career and self- promotion, are rejected as external to the music. They are, strictly speaking, irrelevant. The phenomenon of the artist retiring behind his art is both intriguing and salutary. It no doubt accounts partly to the fact that Sokolov is still relatively unknown to the public at large. Yet there are many people who are convinced that, following the deaths of musicians like Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli, Glenn Gould and Sviatoslav Richter, he is now the greatest

    Rachmaninoff's Vespers (All-Night Vigil)”-- Robert Shaw Festival Singers (1990) Added to the National Registry: 2016 Essay by Joseph Swain (Guest Post)*

    “Rachmaninoff's Vespers (All-Night Vigil)”-- Robert Shaw Festival Singers (1990) Added to the National Registry: 2016 Essay by Joseph Swain (guest post)* Robert Shaw Sergei Rachmaninoff “In Robert Shaw I have at last found the maestro I have been looking for,” said Arturo Toscanini, and so nominated the most influential American choral conductor of the latter half of the 20th century. Shaw, who lived from April 30, 1916 to January 25, 1999, first made his mark by founding an interracial chorus called the Collegiate Chorale in 1941, which joined with Toscanini to perform Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony in 1948. That same year, he founded the Robert Shaw Chorale, chosen by the US State Department in 1964 for a good will tour of 15 countries. Best known in recent times is his leadership of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra from 1967 to 1988 and his founding of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra Chorus in 1970. Together, the two ensembles made Shaw’s most signal recordings of great works in the choral repertory. Upon his retirement in 1988, Shaw wished to continue to advance choral singing in America, and so founded the Robert Shaw Choral Institute. Although home was in Columbus, Ohio, the Institute sponsored a three-week summer festival in Quercy, France, for experienced American choral singers, teachers, and directors. The competition for admission was severe, not only because the Institute provided all expenses for participants, but because participation meant an intense choral tutorial with Robert Shaw. Great churches in southwestern France provided concert venues, and this recording of the Rachmaninoff “Vespers (All-Night Vigil)” is the fruit of the 1989 festival.
