Forgotten Musician and Rare Lady ^^IJERE'S a new book with an idea -^ -- that I applaud," cried Delver Forfax, avid musical archaeologist. "It's devoted to forgotten musicians. Good! Let's see what it tells of von Paradis Why, she's been forgotten "Maria Theresa von Paradis was one of the most accomplished ladies who ever lived. She was a notable pianist, sang (and danced) well, com- posed piano pieces and songs, and even operatic works that actually were staged. As a teacher of piano and voice PARADIS she was excellent. Besides music, she could converse brilliantly — and in various languages — on scientific lore. "Both as musician and as scholar, she was the talk of in- telligent society in her native Vienna, in Berlin, Brussels, Paris, and London. "She was a pioneer humanitarian in a field new in her time. For she donated proceeds of her concerts to the first special school for the education of blind children. That was the school founded at Paris by Valentin Haiiy, in 1784, and now grown into a National Institute. Not only her money, but her deepfelt interest, and the example she set in the society in which she was so prominent, were most helpful to the new venture. "As relaxation from her manifold professional activities, she played chess — with no little skill. "And Maria Theresa von Paradis, from the age of five, was blind !" .

Marcas Registradaa (Lp) SYMPHONY IN C MAJOR No. 34, Koechel No. 338 By Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Born at Salzburg, January died 27, 1756; at Vienna, December 5, 1791 The first performance of this symphony by the Boston Symphony Orchestra was on April 1, 1899. Wilhelm Gericke conducting. Subsequent performances have been given in 1904, 1923, 1928 (Sir Thomas Beecham conducting), 1930, 1931, 1936, 1939, and 1942. It is scored for two oboes, two bassoons, two horns, two trumpets, timpani and strings. THE symphony is inscribed by its composer as having been written at Salzburg, August 29, 1780. A reference in a letter by Mozart to a performance under Joseph Bono, conductor at Vienna, is considered to apply to this score: "I have lately forgotten to write that the sym- phony conducted by old Bono went magnifique, and had great suc- cess. Forty violins played — the wind instruments were all doubled — ten violas, .ten doublebasses, eight violoncellos, and six bassoons" (From Vienna, April 11, 1781). The work is characterized by Erich Blom in his life of Mozart as "the first of the symphonies to have achieved any degree of permanence, as far as concert practice goes — and very justly, for it is a lovely work and, though formally on a small scale, fully matured and typically Mozartean with its capricious changes between a variety of humours. The musical ideas are mostly the current coin of the time, but their treatment is in the nature of an ironical commentary. Mozart loves the musical cliches of his century and at the same time laughs at them up his sleeve, and never more wittily than in this little but captivating and very finished symphonic work." Otto Jahn speaks of the symphony as "grander in conception and more serious in tone than the earlier one in B-flat major, composed the summer before (K. 319). This is particularly noticeable in the first movement, where a constant propensity to fall into the minor key blends strength and decision with an expression not so much of melancholy as of consola- tion. In perfect harmony of conception, the simple and fervent An- dante di molto combines exceeding tenderness with a quiet depth of feeling. The contrasting instrumentation is very effective in this work. The first movement is powerful and brilliant, but in the second, only stringed instruments (with doubled violas) are employed.* The last movement is animated throughout, and sometimes the orchestral treat- ment is rapid and impetuous." The Symphony is without a minuet, although the first measures of one, crossed out by the composer, were found in the manuscript * a bassoon is added to the string orchestra in this movement. [5] score.* Symphonies in three movements are rare among the more ma- ture works o£ Mozart (this one and the two symphonies K. 444 and K. 504 are exceptions). His childhood and boyhood symphonies were more often than not without minuets, the form having then freshly evolved from the Italian overture, with its three sections — a first allegro, a slow movement and a lively finale. It has often been stated that Haydn was the first to introduce minuets into the symphony, and indeed he gave his symphonic minuets an importance the form had never had. But there were earlier composers who began this practice. Philip Hale has pointed out: "There is one in a symphony in D major by Georg Matthias Monn composed before 1740. Haydn's first symphony was composed in 1759. Gossec's first symphonies were published in 1754. Sammartini (1734) and others had written symphonies before Gossec; but the date of Gossec's introduction of the minuet has not been determined.

  • Polish Musicians in the Concert Life of Interwar Paris: Short Press Overview and Extensive Bibliographic Guide1
    Polish Musicians in the Concert Life of Interwar Paris: Short Press Overview and Extensive Bibliographic Guide1 Renata Suchowiejko ( Jagiellonian University, Kraków) [email protected] The 20-year interwar period was a crucial time for Polish music. After Poland regained independence in 1918, the development of Polish musical culture was supported by government institutions. Infrastructure serving the concert life and the education system considerably improved along with the development of mass media and printing industries. International co-operation also got reinvigorated. New societies, associations and institutions were established to promote Polish culture abroad. And the mobility of musicians considerably increased. At that time the preferred destination of the artists’ rush was Paris. The journeys were taken mostly by young musicians in their twenties or thirties. Amongst them were instrumentalists, singers and directors who wished to improve their performance skills and to try their skills before the public of concert halls. Composers wanted to taste the musical climate of the metropolis and to learn the latest trends in music of that time. They strongly believed that 1.

    Introduction to: Doris Pyee, Revue Pleyel (1923-1927) Copyright © 2005 RIPM Consortium Ltd Répertoire international de la presse musicale (www.ripm.org) Revue Pleyel (1923-1927) The Revue Pleyel [REP] was published monthly in Paris from September 1923 until August 1927. It produced forty-eight issues, each containing thirty-four pages. Journal of the important manufacturer of pianos, the Revue Pleyel attracted famous collaborators, built a network of foreign correspondents, and undoubtedly benefited from the prestige of the piano-making firm created in 1807 by Ignace Pleyel. This accomplished musician and inventor of genius received moral and/or financial support from well-known musical personalities such as Kalkbrenner, Rossini, Méhul, Hummel and Moscheles. Under the leadership of Camille Pleyel, the son and successor to Ignace,1 the salons on rue Cadet were used as concert rooms, as were later the salons on the rue Rochechouart.2 These locations were privileged venues in nineteenth-century Parisian musical life. Camille “launched” Chopin at his establishment in 1832, and thereafter, other famous musical celebrities, including Thalberg, Kalkbrenner, then Franck, Gounod, Saint-Saëns, Grieg, Debussy, de Falla, Stravinsky, Honegger, Robert and Gaby Casadesus associated their talent with the name of Pleyel3 by performing in its concert venues. “However the concert room on rue Rochechouart did not possess the qualities required to accommodate large orchestras.4 This led, in the early 1920s, to Gustave Lyon’s project5… to have a new Concert hall of a three thousand seat capacity built according to scientific standards and following the latest developments in terms of acoustics, which were then considered revolutionary.”6 Completed in 1927, the Salle Pleyel7 was, at the time, the first Parisian artistic center of its kind.

  • Second Thoughts and Short Reviews: Autumn 2017-3
    SECOND THOUGHTS AND SHORT REVIEWS AUTUMN 2017/3 By Brian Wilson and Dan Morgan Reviews are by Brian Wilson except where signed [DM]. Autumn 2017/1 is here and Autumn 2017/2 here. As before, I must remind readers that preparing such a large review – especially large this time – carries the risk of incorrect catalogue numbers or purchase links, though I have tried to make the latter clearer than before. Please check before ordering. Some time ago I mentioned that trusty old Winamp, though it works with downloads in Windows 10, has not been updated for quite some time and that I had noticed occasional glitches. Recently I have been trying another free programme, MusicBee (https://getmusicbee.com/) and have found it to work well after a few initial problems. It does everything that Winamp does and adds the ability to display the artwork, if it’s included in the metadata – which isn’t always the case. An alternative would be MediaGo (http://mediago.sony.com/enu/download), actually designed to work with the high-res digital Sony Walkman, but a useful programme in itself and operating very much like MusicBee.

  • Philharmonie De Paris
    130 Lifestyle Hi-Tech 131 Verdi : quelques 70 musiciens et 100 choristes du double chœur sur la scène centrale, sont emportés par la baguette de Gianandrea Noseda. C’est un choc puissant, envoûtant. La salle retient son souffle, se trouve enveloppée par la déferlante des sons de l’orchestre de Paris, et alors que deux trompettes cachées dans les balcons ponctuent le déchaînement colérique du Dies irae, les frissons annoncent l’émotion qui gagne tous les spectateurs. Une sensation unique et partagée par tous : quelle que soit sa place, chacun a l’impression de se trouver au cœur de la scène sonore. Nous sortons comme sonnés de la représentation. Durant les semaines et mois suivants, mon obstination me permet d’écouter la sublime pianiste Hélène Grimaud avec l’orchestre de l’Academia Nazio- nale di Santa Cecilia de Rome sous la baguette de Sir Antonio Pappano. Même ressenti, même envoûtement, même émotion avec piano comme avec le symphonique. En finale, ce fut la symphonie n°3 avec orgue de Saint Saëns, un séisme ! Ce fut la première en concert de l’orgue symphonique de la Philharmonie 1, un instrument exceptionnel, le plus puissant d’Europe, disposant de pas moins de quatre claviers, 91 jeux et 6055 tuyaux. Dans un autre registre, la Philharmonie accueille également des grands noms du jazz, notamment lors des rendez-vous Jazz at the Philharmonie #1, qui ne sont pas sans rappeler les concerts JATPP initiés par Norman Granz © AFP Charles Platiau © AFP Charles dans les années 44 à 47 aux USA, puis en Europe et au Japon.
