New York 524 Fulton Street Brooklyn Symphony in E major, No. 7 Anton Bruckner •{Born at Ansfelden, in Upper Austria, September 4, 1825; died at Vienna, October 11, 1896.) Bruckner's Symphony in E major was composed in the time between September, 1881, and September, 1883. It is dedicated "To His Majesty the King, Ludwig II. of Bavaria, in deepest reverence." The symphony was published in 1885. The statement is often made that the Adagio was composed as funeral music in memory of Richard Wagner. As a matter of fact, this Adagio was completed in October, 1882. Wagner died February 13, 1883. The singular statement has been made that a premonition of Wagner's death inspired Bruckner to compose a dirge,—this Adagio. Bruckner, who had what the Germans call "peasant cunning," may have agreed to this in the presence of those who were thus affected by the thought, but he himself knew, as will be seen by his letters to Felix Mottl in 1885 concerning the first performance at Carlsruhe, that the move- ment had not in all respects the character of a dirge. Indeed, he pointed out the measures of the funeral music: "At X in the Adagio (Funeral music for tubas and horns," etc.); also, "Please take a very slow and solemn tempo. At the close, in the Dirge (In memory of the •death of the Master), think of our Ideal! . Kindly do not forget the /// at the end of the Dirge." The first performance of the symphony was at Leipsic, December 30, 1884, when Mr. Nikisch conducted the work at a theatre concert in aid of a Wagner Monument Fund as some say, though the Neue Zeitschrijt fur Musik (1885, p. 17), reviewing the performance, said nothing about any purpose for which the concert was given. The composer was present. The symphony was performed at Munich, March 10, 1885, with Levi as conductor, and at Vienna at a Philhar- monic concert led by Richter, March 21, 1886. Dr. Muck conducted the symphony at Graz early in 1886 and in Berlin, January 6, 1894. Richter produced it in London, May 23, 1887. The first performance in the United States was at Chicago by Theodore Thomas's orchestra, July 29, 1886.

The first performance in Boston was at a vSymphony Concert led by Mr. Gericke, February 5, 1887. The symphony is scored for two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, four horns, three trumpets, three trombones, bass tuba,, four tubas, one double-bass tuba, a set of three kettledrums, triangle, cymbals, strings. Allegro moderato, E major, 2-2. The first theme is announced by horn and violoncellos against the tremulous violins; and clarinets, violas, and violoncellos add a subsidiary theme. The chief theme appears in a richer orchestral dress. There is a crescendo based on the subsidiary theme, and the whole orchestra enters, but there is quickly a diminuendo, and the mood becomes more nervous, uncertain. The second theme, one of complaint, is given to oboe and clarinet with horns and trumpets in the accompaniment. This theme, with its peculiar instrumentation and its changing tonality, is in marked op- position to the first. This second chief theme is developed at length. (The first assumes greater importance later.) In this development there are evidences in the manner of leading the voices of Bruckner's partiality for the organ. The mood becomes more restful, although the theme of complaint is not silent, but soon appears, inverted, in the violins. It may here be said that Bruckner delighted in this manner of varying a theme. A mighty crescendo is based on a phrase of this inverted theme over an organ-point, F-sharp, but instead of the arrival of the expected climax a theme of somewhat mournful character is FOR THE HOLIDAY SEASON We offer the volumes of The Musician's Library, bound in cloth, gilt, in sets (boxes) of five, ten, twenty, or complete, at special prices, as follows : Any 5 volumes, carriage free, $10.00 (Regular price, $12.50) Any 10 volumes, carriage free, 18.00 (Regular price, 25.00) Any 20 volumes, carriage free, 35.00 (Regular price, 50.00) The 36 volumes, carriage free, 61.50 (Regular price, 90.00) (In ordering song volumes be sure to state whether for high voice or low voice.)

The rhythm of this counterpoint is maintained in the final section of the exposition part. An episode for the brass follows. There is soon a calmer mood, and gentle horn and clarinet tones mingle with the voices of the strings. The free fantasia begins with an inversion of the first theme (clarinet) The rhythm of the characteristic counterpoint just mentioned appears, but a solemn, religious mood is soon established (trombones, pp). The second chief theme appears in its inverted form, also the "contra- puntal figure." The mood is now one of doubt and perplexity, but the decisive, inexorable first theme enters, inverted, C minor, in the full orchestra, ff, and with canonic imitation.

Munich, 23 Feb. 1918) Ungarische Zigeunerweisen für Klavier und Orchester (Hungarian Gypsy Songs for Piano and Orchestra) orchestrated by P. I. Tchaikovsky (1840-1893) Sophie Menter was one of the greatest and much lauded pianists of the later nineteenth- and early twentieth centuries. Musically precocious, Menter, who was the daughter of the distinguished violoncellist Josef Menter and his wife, the singer Wilhelmine Menter (née Diepold), pursued her early studies with Julius Leonhard, Siegmund Lebert and Friederich Niest.1 She made her orchestral debut in 1861 with Weber’s Konzertstücke conducted by Franz Lachner and, in 1863, embarked on her first concert tour with recitals in Germany and Switzerland.2 Much acclaimed for her Liszt performances even at this early stage of her career, Menter subsequently studied with Carl Tausig and Hans von Bülow (1867-1869) and finally in Budapest with Franz Liszt (1869-1870) who called her ‘my only legitimate musical daughter.’3 Menter pursued a busy recital career throughout Europe, visiting Britain a number of times between 1881 and 1907,4 the success of her first visit resulting in her being elected to an honorary membership of the Philharmonic Society of London.5 Menter’s distinguished career was capped by royal appointments as Court Pianist to the Prince of Hohenzollern, and also the Austrian Emperor.6 Between 1883 and 1887 she was Professor of Pianoforte at the St. Petersburg Conservatory. Menter was married to the Czech violoncellist David Popper (1843-1913) between 1872 and 1886 but after their divorce she resigned from St.

Musical merit is one factor, certainly, but often not the only factor or even the most important one. With any composer, there are pieces which are rarely heard, yet when they are heard, people wonder why they have never heard it before, since they are such good pieces of music. And so, with Bruckner, it is somewhat of a puzzlement that the Sixth Symphony is so rarely heard despite being so well-done and so fascinating, whereas the Fourth Symphony, with its various flaws and problems, is one of Bruckner's most popular. Various reasons are given for this, such as that Bruckner was trying too hard to pare down his conception to a smaller scale, or the predominance of the Bruckner rhythm (2 + 3 or 3 + 2 in the time-space of 2 + 2) in the first movement in overlapping triplets of different note values.

    Any time Joshua Bell makes an appearance, it’s guaranteed to be impressive! I can’t wait to hear him perform the monumental Brahms Violin Concerto alongside some fireworks for the orchestra. It’s a don’t-miss evening! EMILY GLOVER, NCS VIOLIN Le Corsaire Overture, Op. 21 HECTOR BERLIOZ BORN December 11, 1803, in Côte-Saint-André, France; died March 8, 1869, in Paris PREMIERE Composed 1844, revised before 1852; first performance January 19, 1845, in Paris, conducted by the composer OVERVIEW The Random House Dictionary defines “corsair” both as “a pirate” and as “a ship used for piracy.” Berlioz encountered one of the former on a wild, stormy sea voyage in 1831 from Marseilles to Livorno, on his way to install himself in Rome as winner of the Prix de Rome. The grizzled old buccaneer claimed to be a Venetian seaman who had piloted the ship of Lord Byron during the poet’s adventures in the Adriatic and the Greek archipelago, and his fantastic tales helped the young composer keep his mind off the danger aboard the tossing vessel. They landed safely, but the experience of that storm and the image of Lord Byron painted by the corsair stayed with him. When Berlioz arrived in Rome, he immersed himself in Byron’s poem The Corsair, reading much of it in, of all places, St. Peter’s Basilica. “During the fierce summer heat I spent whole days there ... drinking in that burning poetry,” he wrote in his Memoirs. It was also at that time that word reached him that his fiancée in Paris, Camile Moke, had thrown him over in favor of another suitor.

    The Development of the Russian Piano Concerto in the Nineteenth Century Jeremy Paul Norris Doctor of Philosophy Department of Mu

    The Development of the Russian Piano Concerto in the Nineteenth Century Jeremy Paul Norris Doctor of Philosophy Department of Music 1988 December The Development of the Russian Piano Concerto in the Nineteenth Century Jeremy Paul Norris The Russian piano concerto could not have had more inauspicious beginnings. Unlike the symphonic poem (and, indirectly, the symphony) - genres for which Glinka, the so-called 'Father of Russian Music', provided an invaluable model: 'Well? It's all in "Kamarinskaya", just as the whole oak is in the acorn' to quote Tchaikovsky - the Russian piano concerto had no such indigenous prototype. All that existed to inspire would-be concerto composers were a handful of inferior pot- pourris and variations for piano and orchestra and a negligible concerto by Villoing dating from the 1830s. Rubinstein's five con- certos certainly offered something more substantial, as Tchaikovsky acknowledged in his First Concerto, but by this time the century was approaching its final quarter. This absence of a prototype is reflected in all aspects of Russian concerto composition. Most Russian concertos lean perceptibly on the stylistic features of Western European composers and several can be justly accused of plagiarism. Furthermore, Russian composers faced formidable problems concerning the structural organization of their concertos, a factor which contributed to the inability of several, including Balakirev and Taneyev, to complete their works. Even Tchaikovsky encountered difficulties which he was not always able to overcome. The most successful Russian piano concertos of the nineteenth century, Tchaikovsky's No.1 in B flat minor, Rimsky-Korsakov's Concerto in C sharp minor and Balakirev's Concerto in E flat, returned ii to indigenous sources of inspiration: Russian folk song and Russian orthodox chant.
