    ADOLF BUSCH AND THE PIANO by Jakob Fichert It’s hardly a secret that Adolf Busch (1891–1952) was one of the greatest violinists of the twentieth century. But only specialists, it seems, are aware that he was also a very fne composer, even though these two artistic identities – performer and composer – were of equal importance to him. In recent years some of his chamber works, his organ music and parts of his symphonic œuvre have been recorded, allowing some appreciation of his stature as a creative fgure. But Busch’s music for solo piano has yet to be discovered – only the Andante espressivo, BoO1 37 22 , has been recorded before now, by Peter Serkin, Busch’s grandson, and that in a private recording, not available commercially. Tis album therefore presents the entirety of Busch’s piano output for the frst time. Busch’s writing for solo piano forms a kind of huge triptych, with the Sonata in C minor, Op. 25, as its central panel; another major work, a Fantasia in C major, BoO 20, was written early in his career; and a later Suite, Op. 60b, dates from the time of his full maturity. Busch also wrote more than a dozen smaller piano pieces, in which he seems to have experimented with various genres in pursuit of the development of his musical language, with four Intermezzi, a Scherzo and other character pieces among them. One can hear the infuence of Brahms, Mendelssohn, Busoni and – especially – Reger, but with familiarity Busch’s style can be heard to be distinctive and personal, displaying a unique and highly expressive world of sound.

An Exemplary Life and Musical History of the TimesBy Edgar SelfLong awaited, this biography of violinist, composer, quartet and trio leader, teacher, and conductor Adolf Busch (1891-1952), co-founder of the Marlboro School of Music, is a history of the violin, of concerts and chamber-music in the first half of the 20th century. The texts, research notes, copious illustrations, and appendices detail virtually every concert and associate of Busch's life with full descriptions of his musical and personal relations with Reger, Busoni, Tovey, Roentgens and hundreds of others, including those unsympathetic to him such as Furtwaengler, Sibelius, Edwin Fischer, and Elly Ney, for musical or political reasons.

  • Symposium Records Cd 1109 Adolf Busch
    SYMPOSIUM RECORDS CD 1109 The Great Violinists – Volume 4 ADOLF BUSCH (1891-1952) This compact disc documents the early instrumental records of the greatest German-born musician of this century. Adolf Busch was a legendary violinist as well as a composer, organiser of chamber orchestras, founder of festivals, talented amateur painter and moving spirit of three ensembles: the Busch Quartet, the Busch Trio and the Busch/Serkin Duo. He was also a great man, who almost alone among German gentile musicians stood out against Hitler. His concerts between the wars inspired a generation of music-lovers and musicians; and his influence continued after his death through the Marlboro Festival in Vermont, which he founded in 1950. His associate and son-in-law, Rudolf Serkin (1903-1991) maintained it until his own death, and it is still going strong. Busch's importance as a fiddler was all the greater, because he was the last glory of the short-lived German school; Georg Kulenkampff predeceased him and Hitler's decade smashed the edifice built up by men like Joseph Joachim and Carl Flesch. Adolf Busch's career was interrupted by two wars; and his decision to boycott his native country in 1933, when he could have stayed and prospered as others did, further fractured the continuity of his life. That one action made him an exile, cost him the precious cultural nourishment of his native land and deprived him of his most devoted audience. Five years later, he renounced all his concerts in Italy in protest at Mussolini's anti-semitic laws.

    right, in the face of countless moments which evidence the contrary, to find that, of the two, only Adolf could "express the feminine elements in music." None of this, nor the unavoidably utilitarian production of the book, with a rather unattractive typeface, will deter the enthusiast from obtaining this work which augurs well for the author's biography of his subject. Christopher Dyment The only notice that I have yet seen for Tully Potter's Adolf Busch is a listing in The Gramophone's classified ads. It seemed to be one of those brave but dubious projects that come out of the world of self-publishing, far from the gimlet eye of the editor and the constraints of commerce. Increasing my distrust was the fact that the book was being sold for a mere six bucks American--which in a display of mad fatalism I sent across the ocean as naked cash. About two months later the book arrived, and I am happy to report that my lack of faith was utterly unfounded. Indeed, the work promises in its acknowledgements and delivers in fact the richest gathering of material about Busch from the widest array of authoritative sources that I have ever encountered. Among those consulted are a good per­ centage of the (still living) major musicians with connec­ tions to the man and his art: Rudolf Serkin (the dedicatee), Yehudi Menuhin, Artur Balsam, Eugene Istomin, Paul Doktor, Antal Dora ti, August Wenzinger, (the late) Reginald Kell, and many others. A good many familiar figures from the world of recordings and sound archives are also included among the sources--Richard Warren, Barbara Sawka, Thomas Clear, Leo Mack, Fred Maroth, Thomas Heinitz--as well as all the rele­ vant institutional sources and, of course, a large number of family members, students and friends--and such was the char­ acter of Adolf Busch that the last group included Sir Isaiah Berlin, Sir Ernest Gombrich, and Sir Karl Popper among the many friends thanked in the acknowledgements.

  • The Critical and Artistic Reception of Beethoven's
    THE CRITICAL AND ARTISTIC RECEPTION OF BEETHOVEN’S STRING QUARTET IN C♯ MINOR, OP. 131 Megan Ross A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Music in the College of Arts and Sciences. Chapel Hill 2019 Approved by: Mark Evan Bonds Tim Carter Annegret Fauser Aaron Harcus Mark Katz ©2019 Megan Ross ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Megan Ross: The Critical and Artistic Reception of Beethoven’s String Quartet in C♯-Minor, Op. 131 (Under the direction of Mark Evan Bonds) Long viewed as the unfortunate products of a deaf composer, Ludwig van Beethoven’s “late” works are now widely regarded as the pinnacle of his oeuvre. While the reception of this music is often studied from the perspective of multiple works, my dissertation offers a different perspective by examining in detail the critical and artistic reception of a single late work, the String Quartet in C♯ minor, Op. 131. Critics have generally agreed that the string quartets best exemplify the composer’s late style, and that of these, Op. 131 stands out as the paradigmatic late quartet. I argue that this is because Op. 131 exhibits the greatest concentration of features typically associated with the late style. It is formally unconventional, with seven movements of grotesquely different proportions, to be played continuously, without a pause, as if to insist on the unity of the whole. It conspicuously avoids a sonata-form movement until its finale, opening instead with an extended fugue; the sonata-form finale, in turn, quotes from the fugue, again reinforcing the notion of formal wholeness.

  • Fritz and Adolf Busch and Rudolf Serkin Play Max Reger’S Music in the English-Speaking Lands
    Tully Potter (Hildenborough (Kent)/Großbritannien) Exporting Reger: Fritz and Adolf Busch and Rudolf Serkin play Max Reger’s Music in the English-speaking Lands Background For the brothers Fritz and Adolf Busch, the composer of their own time who loomed largest was Max Reger. Contact with this extraordinary char- acter was inevitable, especially for Adolf, because his violin teacher at the Cologne Conservatory, Bram Eldering, his mentor and future father-in-law Hugo Grüters and his composition teacher Fritz Steinbach were friends of Reger. In any case, Busch enjoyed his chamber and organ music at first acquaintance. A first encounter with this larger-than-life character came on 7 February 1905, when the composer visited the Conservatory: in the Great Hall, Reger played his C major Violin Sonata, Op. 72, with Eldering and his Variations and Fugue on a Theme of Beethoven, Op. 86, with the local pianist Henriette Schelle at the other keyboard.1 It was not long be- fore Reger’s influence was felt in Adolf Busch’s own compositions, and he remained a Reger disciple for the rest of his life. At this stage, Fritz Busch was not officially at the Conservatory, although he infiltrated the concerts when he could and absorbed what was going on through Adolf. For Fritz, Reger’s orchestral compositions would be the initial pull; but, as Adolf’s early sonata partner, he also became involved with the chamber music. The full revelation of Reger’s genius dated from October 1905, when Fritz was 15 and Adolf was 14: what overwhelmed the boys was the Sinfonietta in A, Op.

This string quartet, in B fiat major, was published with the five other quartets forming opus 18 in Vienna in 1801. The first movement is in sonata form. The second movement is in ternary song form: the exposition is followed by a middle section built on entirely different material; this in turn is followed by the recapitula­ tion of the exposition; and the short coda takes up ideas from the middle section. The last movement consists of a slow introduction, entitled "La Malinconia," and a vigorous rondo which, in one of its episodes, employs the theme of the introduction.
