This symphony was first performed at Meiningeu, October 25, 1885, under the direction of the composer. Simrock, the publisher, is said to have paid Brahms forty thousand marks for the work. It was played at a public rehearsal of the Sym- phony Orchestra in Boston, November 2G, 1886. Although Mr. Gericke "did not stop the orchestra,"—to quote from a review of the concert the next day,—he was not satisfied with the performance. Schumann's Symphony in B-flat was substituted for the concert of November 27 ; there were further rehearsals. The work was played for the first time at a concert of the Boston Symphony Orchestra on December 23, 1886. The first performance in the United States was by the Symphony Society, New York, December 11, 1886. This sjanphony was composed in the summers of 1884 and 1885 at Murzzuschlag in Styria. The Allegro and Andante were composed during the first summer, the Scherzo and Finale during the last. Miss Florence May, in her Life of Brahms, tells us that the manu- script was nearly destroyed in 1885 : "Returning one afternoon from a walk, he [Brahms] found that the house in which he lodged had caught fire, and that his friends were busily engaged in bringing his papers, and amongst them the nearly finished manuscript of the new symphony, into the garden. He immediately set to work to help in getting the fire under, whilst Frau Fellinger sat out of doors Just Issued NEW VOLUMES FOR MEDIUM VOICE LYRIC FANCIES A SELECTION OF SONGS BY AMERICAN COMPOSERS II VOL I VOL BRANSCOMBE The Morning Wind.

We quote the report of this incident, not on account of its intrinsic value, but to show in what manner Miss May was able to write two volumes, containing six hundred and twenty-five octavo pages, about the quiet life of the composer. But what is Miss May in comparison with Max Kalbeck, whose Life of Brahms contains 2,138 pages? In a letter, Brahms described this symphony as "a couple of entr'actes," also as "a choral work without text." Franz Wiillner, then conductor of the Gtirzenich concerts at Cologne, asked that he might produce this new symphony. Brahms answered that first performances and the wholly modern chase after novelties did not interest him. He was vexed because Wiillner had performed a sym- phony by Bruckner; he acted in a childish manner. Wiillner an- swered that he thought it his duty to produce new works; that a symphony by Bruckner was certainly more interesting than one by Gernsheim, Cowen, or Scharwenka. Brahms was doubtful about the value of his fourth symphony. He wished to know the opinion of Elisabet von Herzogenberg and Clara Schumann. He and Ignaz Briill played a pianoforte arrange- ment in the presence of Hanslick, Dr. Billroth, Hans Richter, C. F. Pohl, Gustav Dompke, and Max Kalbeck. He judged from their attitude that they did not like it, and he was much depressed. "If persons like Billroth, Hanslick, and you do not like my music, whom will it please?" he said to Kalbeck.

Trombetti Budriesi, Deputazione di Storia Patria per le Province di Romagna (Documenti e Studi, vol. XXX), Bologna 2001, pp. 19-48 © dell'autrice - Distribuito in formato digitale da "Reti Medievali"] Dopo aver molto sperato nei mesi o negli anni passati lo dico anch'io che mi sono rassegnato. Il popolo di Bologna al ponte di Sant'Ambrogio non ha avuto solo un altro giorno di gloria ma, eh sì! ha fatto leggenda della storia. Con questa lucida constatazione messa in bocca a Enzo, che vede la propria vicenda umana ormai al termine proiettata in un futuro ove si fondono e si confondono storia e leggenda, Roberto Roversi chiude il poema Enzo Re, importante tappa della moderna mitizzazione, a livello artistico, della figura del Re prigioniero. Nei versi immediatamente precedenti il personaggio della Carestiamorte gli aveva predetto: Un quadro di famiglia all'ultima illustrazione. Poi a voi resterà il fiato grosso giorno per giorno appena sufficiente per l'invecchiamento. Ci sarà ancora qualche piccola soddisfazione forse nel ventre di una donna o in una canzone scritta o nell'ultimo tramonto. Sarà un momento. Ma niente da raccogliere che non sia vento2. Vaticinata condanna senza appello, presagio di giorni uguali con qualche barlume di luce, ma nulla, in fondo3. 1 Con il titolo "Bologna re Enzo e il suo mito" ho ideato e proposto alcuni eventi di carattere storico e artistico ispirati alla figura del re di Sardegna e alla sua prigionia a Bologna, nella storia e nel mito.

  • Respighi Ottorino
    RESPIGHI OTTORINO Compositore e strumentista italiano (Bologna 9 VI 1879 - Roma 18 IV 1936) 1 Nato da una famiglia di musicisti (il nonno Tommaso era organista del duomo di Fidenza) fu avviato alla musica dal padre, ottimo pianista e didatta. Iscritto al liceo musicale di Bologna (1891), studiò violino con F. Sarti, diplomandosi nel 1899, e contemporaneamente seguì le lezioni di contrappunto e fuga di C. Dall'Olio e di composizione di L. Torchi e G. Martucci. Nel 1900 fu a Pietroburgo, come orchestrale nella stagione operistica italiana dei teatri imperiali e conobbe Rimskij-Korsakov dal quale ebbe varie lezioni di composizione rimaste essenziali (come dichiarò lo stesso Respighi) per la sua formazione artistica. Tornato a Bologna, si diplomò in composizione nel 1901. L'anno dopo tornò in Russia come prima viola dell'Opera di Pietroburgo e vi rimase nove mesi, prendendo contatto con l'ambiente artistico che faceva capo ad A. Benois (il figlio Nicola sarà poi uno degli scenografi più cari a Respighi). Nel 1903 ritornò in Italia e l'anno dopo fu eseguita dal pianista F. Ivaldi a Bologna, sotto la direzione di B. Mugellini, la sua Fantasia in Sol minore per pianoforte ed orchestra che ottenne notevole successo. Nel 1905 la sua opera Re Enzo fu rappresentata dagli studenti dell'università di Bologna ed in quello stesso anno Respighi entrò come viola nel quintetto Mugellini per il quale compose il Quintetto in Fa. Nel 1908 R. Ferrari diresse al Metropolitan di New York il Notturno per orchestra e A. Nikish, a Berlino, la sua trascrizione per orchestra del Lamento di Arianna di Monteverdi.

  • An Edition of Ottorino Respighi's Fantasia Slava, P
    AN EDITION OF OTTORINO RESPIGHI’S FANTASIA SLAVA, P. 50 WITH AN ANALYSIS OF HIS EARLY STYLE by JASON BRADLEY BAKER NOEL J. ENGEBRETSON, COMMITTEE CHAIR LINDA PAGE CUMMINS CRAIG P. FIRST TANYA L. GILLE DANIEL E. SWEANEY HOLLY L. GROUT A DOCUMENT Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in the Department of Music in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2014 Copyright Jason Bradley Baker 2014 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Fantasia Slava, a 1903 work by Ottorino Respighi (1879-1936) for piano and orchestra, can be considered the embodiment of his early style. The characteristics of this style will be examined through brief analyses of four works written prior to Fantasia Slava: Violin Sonata in D Minor (1897), P. 15; Piano Sonata in F Minor, P. 16 (1897); Six Pieces for Violin and Piano, P. 31 (1901-2); and Piano Quintet in F Minor (1902). The characteristics developed over the course of these pieces directly affected the construction of Fantasia Slava and shows the young composer developing his compositional language. This document also includes an edition of Fantasia Slava for two pianos–one piano designated for the solo and another a piano reduction of the orchestral part. The sole publication of Fantasia Slava is the orchestral score from Ricordi, copyrighted in 1986. It is from this edition that the author has drawn his two-piano edition. The manuscript for Fantasia Slava, P. 50 was not available for review at the time of this document. Permission to utilize the first edition of the work in such a manner was graciously granted by Lucia Castellina, editor at Casa Ricordi, in a November 14, 2013, email to the author.

    OTTORINO RESPIGHI: MUSIC FOR PIANO, VOLUME TWO by Potito Pedarra and Giovanna Gatto As with Volume One of this first-ever complete survey of Respighi’s piano music, this second instalment includes a previously unknown sonata, only recently published, as well as a work published shortly after its composition, and a number of isolated works from Respighi’s early years, some of which have been completed by the performer here, Giovanna Gatto.1 As far as is currently known, the Sonata in A minor, p004b, represents Respighi’s first work for piano. The year of its composition is not certain, but it was most probably written before the Sonata in F minor, which dates from 1897, and so it is assumed to have been written in 1895–96. Following tradition, both works are in classical sonata form with three movements – a slow movement situated between two lively outer movements, each of which is built on two themes and falls into three sections; both, with some exceptions, are also quite traditional tonally. Piera Anna Franini states that Respighi’s starting point was Martucci, one of the promoters of a renewal of interest in instrumental music and an enthusiast of the German tradition in Italy, and that he ‘wrote his first piano works as the result of a youthful, unrealistic adherence to a late-nineteenth-century culture’.2 Like Brahms, he saw the connection with the past as being expressed in the choice of genre and immediately set himself such a task by writing in sonata form, specifically the Sonata in A minor.

Martini” di Bologna cui li donò Elsa Respighi perché nel Liceo bologne- se il marito aveva compiuto gli studi di violino con Federico Sarti e di composi- zione con Cesare Dall’Olio, Luigi Torchi e Giuseppe Martucci conseguendo i rispettivi diplomi nel 1899 e nel 1901. Sono titoli compresi fra il 1893 e i primi due lustri del Novecento (nel ’13 il musicista si trasferirà a Roma, divenuto titolare della Classe di Fuga e Compo- sizione a Santa Cecilia) secondo un’attitudine precoce — solo nel ‘96 Respighi inizia studi regolari di composizione — e un’applicazione ferrea che ricordano quelle di Felix Mendelssohn anche nell’analogo assimilare la tradizione.
