В первой половине статьи речь идет об изменениях, которые Прокофьеву пришлось внести в свои балеты советского периода. Во второй половине я рассматриваю его малоизвестные, созданные еще до переезда в СССР «Вещи Abstract в себе» и показываю, какие общие выводы позволяют сделать This article looks at how censorship affected Prokofiev’s later Soviet эти две фортепианные пьесы относительно творческих уста- works and in certain instances concealed his creative intentions. In новок композитора. В этом контексте я обращаюсь также к его the first half I discuss the changes imposed on his three Soviet ballets; Восьмой фортепианной сонате. По моему убеждению, Прокофьев in the second half I consider his little-known, pre-Soviet Things in мыслил свою музыку как абстрактное, «чистое» искусство даже Themselves and what these two piano pieces reveal about his creative в тех случаях, когда связывал ее со словом и хореографией. Новое outlook in general. I also address his Eighth Piano Sonata in this критическое издание сочинений Прокофьева должно очистить context. Prokofiev, I argue, thought of his music as abstract, pure, even его творчество от наслоений, обусловленных цензурой, и выя- when he attached it to words and choreographies.

As a pupil of Josef Hoffman and a representative of an older school that believed in impromptu changes to one’s performance approach, Cherkassky rode for 70 years on a wing and a prayer, while Fricsay came from the school of rehearse-exactly-as-you-play. Moreover, Cherkassky’s rhythmic and emotional freedom also seemed at odds with Fricsay’s insistence on written tempos and rhythms. The reason Deutsche Grammophon didn’t release the 1951 recording of the Tchaikovsky appears to be that someone at the label was disappointed by the sound of the orchestra.

    Program Notes MONTANA CHAMBER MUSIC SOCIETY October 30, 2015, 7:30pm Reynolds Recital Hall, MSU Bozeman, 7:30pm MUIR STRING QUARTET Peter Zazofsky, violin Lucia Lin, violin Steven Ansell, viola Michael Reynolds, cello with guest Michele Levin, piano Quartet for Strings in C Minor, Quartettsatz, D. 703 (1820) FRANZ SCHUBERT [1797-1828] [Duration: ca. 10 minutes] "Picture to yourself," he wrote to a friend at this time, "a man whose health can never be reestablished, who from sheer despair makes matters worse instead of better; picture to yourself, I say, a man whose most brilliant hopes have come to nothing, to whom proffered love and friendship are but anguish, whose enthusiasm for the beautiful — an inspired feeling, at least— threatens to vanquish entirely; and then ask yourself if such a condition does not represent a miserable and unhappy man.... Each night, when I go to sleep, I hope never again to waken, and every morning reopens the wounds of yesterday." [Schubert, 1819] Schubert was extremely self-critical, leaving an unusually large number of incomplete works behind. The most celebrated is the Unfinished Symphony, however, many fragments survive of abandoned string quartets. Among these is the Quartettsatz ("Quartet Movement"), written just before Schubert turned 24, the only one to have entered the standard repertoire. When Brahms was working on the first scholarly edition of Schubert's music, he found, in the manuscript score of the Quartettsatz, the sketch (about 40 measures) for a second movement Andante in A-flat; apparently Schubert intended to write a four-movement work, though this movement is independently convincing and complete.

  • Teacher Notes on Russian Music and Composers Prokofiev Gave up His Popularity and Wrote Music to Please Stalin. He Wrote Music
    Teacher Notes on Russian Music and Composers x Prokofiev gave up his popularity and wrote music to please Stalin. He wrote music to please the government. x Stravinsky is known as the great inventor of Russian music. x The 19th century was a time of great musical achievement in Russia. This was the time period in which “The Five” became known. They were: Rimsky-Korsakov (most influential, 1844-1908) Borodin Mussorgsky Cui Balakirev x Tchaikovsky (1840-’93) was not know as one of “The Five”. x Near the end of the Stalinist Period Prokofiev and Shostakovich produced music so peasants could listen to it as they worked. x During the 17th century, Russian music consisted of sacred vocal music or folk type songs. x Peter the Great liked military music (such as the drums). He liked trumpet music, church bells and simple Polish music. He did not like French or Italian music. Nor did Peter the Great like opera. Notes Compiled by Carol Mohrlock 90 Igor Fyodorovich Stravinsky (1882-1971) I gor Stravinsky was born on June 17, 1882, in Oranienbaum, near St. Petersburg, Russia, he died on April 6, 1971, in New York City H e was Russian-born composer particularly renowned for such ballet scores as The Firebird (performed 1910), Petrushka (1911), The Rite of Spring (1913), and Orpheus (1947). The Russian period S travinsky's father, Fyodor Ignatyevich Stravinsky, was a bass singer of great distinction, who had made a successful operatic career for himself, first at Kiev and later in St. Petersburg. Igor was the third of a family of four boys.

It was a long journey: practicing, performing, teaching and doing the research… all helped me to create my own mental pictures and images of these piano masterpieces. Beethoven: Piano Sonata No. 27 in E minor,Op. 90 “Why do I write? What I have in my heart must come out; and that is why I compose.” Those are famous words of the composer.1 There is a 4-5 year gap between Beethoven’s Piano Sonata Op. 81a (completed in 1809) and Op. 90, composed in 1814. The Canadian pianist Anton Kuetri (who has recorded Beethoven’s complete Piano Sonatas) wrote: “For four years Beethoven wrote no sonatas, symphonies or string quartets.

His recent opera Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk had been a sensational success and he was without doubt the musical golden child of the Soviet Union.
