Companion website at <www.mozartsmusicoffriends.com>. 23 24 EDWARD Klorman’s excellent study Mozart’s Music of Friends is a wide-ranging 25 interpretation of Mozart’s chamber music that draws together many strands of 26 scholarship primarily in order to nuance our understanding of these works as they 27 may exist in performance. Klorman offers much food for thought here, to both 28 scholars and performers. I hope his contribution will be digested and applied 29 especially by those who enact and appreciate Mozart’s chamber music primarily 30 within the sphere of performance. Indeed, in what follows, I write from the 31 perspective of a performer: one who has migrated from the world of academic 32 scholarship on Mozart specifically into the world of historically informed 1 1 performance (and for whom a book such as this is of immense value), though my 2 contextual reflections on Klorman’s book are not to be read as the pursuit of a 3 specifically HIP agenda for Mozart. 4 Klorman’s fundamental contention is that Mozart’s chamber music, like much 5 chamber music of its time, existed at least in part as an act of sociability: music as 6 music-making among friends. His work sensitively bridges the gap between music 7 conceived as a representation (visually, in a score) and music as lived experience in 8 performance – or in the act of listening – in real time. He offers numerous detailed 9 applications of a principle that music enacts. In this respect, he draws upon writing by 10 Nicholas Cook, who has repeatedly visited the capacity of music to be simultaneously 11 both artefact and behaviour. A recurrent theme in Cook’s writing has been the notion 12 of the musical score as a script (rather than a prescription). The dust jacket of one of 13 his most recent books puts it as follows: ‘Cook supplants the traditional musicological 14 notion of music as writing, asserting instead that it is as performance that music is 15 loved, understood, and consumed. This book reconceives music as an activity through 16 which meaning is generated in real time.’1 Some years earlier, Cook had argued that 17 performance could be viewed as a generator of social meaning, drawing in his thesis 18 upon interdisciplinary performance theory (particularly theatre studies, poetry reading 19 and ethnomusicology). Thus: 20 21 Whereas to think of a Mozart quartet as a ‘text’ is to construe it as a half-sonic, 22 half-ideal object reproduced in performance, to think of it as a ‘script’ is to see it 23 as choreographing a series of real-time, social interactions between players: a 24 series of mutual acts of listening and communal gestures that enact a particular 25 vision of human society, the communication of which to the audience is one of the 26 special characteristics of chamber music.2 2 1 2 Later he contextualizes this thought more broadly: 3 4 Instead of seeing musical works as texts within which social structures are 5 encoded we see them as scripts in response to which social relationships are 6 enacted: the object of analysis is now present and self-evident in the interactions 7 between performers, and in the acoustic trace that they leave. To call music a 8 performing art, then, is not just to say that we perform it; it is to say that music 9 performs meaning.3 10 11 The recognition that ‘music performs meaning’ is (or should be) of no small 12 consequence to a performer of this repertory. After all, performers communicate. If 13 what we communicate is meaningless, then we are clearly failing on some level: 14 either we fail to understand the music or we fail to enact it with a vitality that 15 responds to the narratives that unfold within it. What we communicate of those 16 narratives is not necessarily what we believe the composer’s ‘intention’ to have been, 17 but rather what we believe we can see within the music’s encoding on the page. This 18 follows careful study of scores, frequently in relation to other contextual information, 19 such as the understanding of form, harmony and counterpoint; of notational systems 20 and what they may have meant at a particular time and in a particular place; and also 21 of instruments of the period in which the work was composed (and of the settings in 22 which those instruments were played) for what they might tell us about the nature of 23 the music’s expressive potential. Somewhat serendipitously, our understanding of 24 what we see in and through the musical text builds into something that may be likened 25 to a picture that we form in our imagination (and which subtly alters over time, when 26 we return to the performance of a particular piece again and again). Likewise 3 1 serendipitous is any given rendition of that picture in performance, which may change 2 according to circumstance (for us, at least – and perhaps for the audience). For 3 performers, the idea that the doing of all these things (whether in our rehearsal 4 preparations or in concert) is actually the performing of our performer identities – in 5 other words, one kind of ‘meaning’ that music performs through our behaviours – is a 6 natural one and something to celebrate. 7 An attempt to get ‘under the skin’ of the kind of relationship that we 8 performers have with Mozart’s chamber music, one that reflects the kind of 9 discussions and debates that we have with the music and with ourselves in the 10 forming of that picture and – perhaps – the creation of meaning, is therefore welcome: 11 all the more so when it comes from the pen of an academic who understands Mozart’s 12 music both as a theorist and as a player. Klorman requires of us a substantial leap 13 beyond the signifying musical text: not so much what the music is, as where it might 14 be. For performers, it is the where that normally counts for most: music exists in the 15 making of it (Cook’s ‘choreographing a series of real-time, social interactions 16 between players’). This implies a central place for sociability within music-making, a 17 concept that dominates Klorman’s approach to Mozart’s chamber music, whether 18 from the historical or the analytical perspective. 19 20 21 <A>Exploring ‘the music of friends’ 22 23 Part 1 of Klorman’s exploration addresses the historical dimension of musical 24 sociability, seen through three important historical perspectives: ‘the music of 25 friends’, ‘chamber music and the metaphor of conversation’ and ‘private, public, and 4 1 playing in the present tense’. Klorman reveals a great deal about the nature of a 2 concert experience for Mozart and his listeners. On some occasions, it was a less 3 formal kind of event than today’s public rituals, freely flowing between different 4 musical genres, between professionals and amateur players (sometimes side by side), 5 and between musical performances and other forms of social activity. While such a 6 context for the music-making was rather different from the more reverential 7 expectations of present-day concert halls, it should be noted (as Klorman does) that 8 respectful silence of the auditors was frequently expected within these settings, for 9 instance in the salons of Baron Gottfried van Swieten, which Klorman references (p. 10 11 n. 15); indeed, Mozart, according to Michael Kelly, insisted on silence while he 11 played, breaking off if it was disturbed.4 Each of these early contextual chapters is 12 richly grounded in literature from the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, as 13 well as a host of recent literature – all sensitively applied. While Klorman’s prefatory 14 note to the reader advises that his (extensive) footnotes are not necessary to a 15 satisfactory appreciation of the main narrative text on the page, they repay close study 16 on several levels – most notably, perhaps, for the reader who is keen to approach the 17 writings of Sulzer, Koch, Reicha, Baillot, Momigny and a host of others in the 18 original languages. Nuanced discussions of terminology also appear here, along with 19 some of the nitty-gritty of interpretative action, for instance on the tendency within 20 the Franco-Italian tradition between c.1770 and c.1830 to evaluate music primarily in 21 melodic terms (p.

  • An Analysis of Hegemonic Social Structures in "Friends"
    "I'LL BE THERE FOR YOU" IF YOU ARE JUST LIKE ME: AN ANALYSIS OF HEGEMONIC SOCIAL STRUCTURES IN "FRIENDS" Lisa Marie Marshall A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2007 Committee: Katherine A. Bradshaw, Advisor Audrey E. Ellenwood Graduate Faculty Representative James C. Foust Lynda Dee Dixon © 2007 Lisa Marshall All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Katherine A. Bradshaw, Advisor The purpose of this dissertation is to analyze the dominant ideologies and hegemonic social constructs the television series Friends communicates in regard to friendship practices, gender roles, racial representations, and social class in order to suggest relationships between the series and social patterns in the broader culture. This dissertation describes the importance of studying television content and its relationship to media culture and social influence. The analysis included a quantitative content analysis of friendship maintenance, and a qualitative textual analysis of alternative families, gender, race, and class representations. The analysis found the characters displayed actions of selectivity, only accepting a small group of friends in their social circle based on friendship, gender, race, and social class distinctions as the six characters formed a culture that no one else was allowed to enter. iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This project stems from countless years of watching and appreciating television. When I was in college, a good friend told me about a series that featured six young people who discussed their lives over countless cups of coffee. Even though the series was in its seventh year at the time, I did not start to watch the show until that season.

Others used the medium as an outlet for fun and lighthearted entertainment. The music was traditionally performed in homes. The Flagler name has long been associated with great music, as Henry and Mary Lily Flagler frequently hosted musical performances in Whitehall’s elaborate Music Room. The Flagler Museum Music Series captures the spirit of traditional chamber music, and welcomes world renowned performers to the finest chamber music venue in South Florida. Here, performers and visitors can experience chamber music as it was intended in a gracious and intimate setting. Due to its intimate nature, chamber music has been described as “the music of friends.” Consequently it is frowned upon to use stages and amplifying devices. The audio devices you will see tonight record the performance for national public radio broadcast and archival purposes.

  • Mozart's Music of Friends
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-09365-2 - Mozart’s Music of Friends: Social Interplay in the Chamber Works Edward Klorman Frontmatter More information Mozart’s Music of Friends In 1829 Goethe famously described the string quartet as “aconver- sation among four intelligent people.” Inspired by this metaphor, Edward Klorman’s study draws on a wide variety of documentary and iconographic sources to explore Mozart’s chamber works as “the music of friends.” Illuminating the meanings and historical foundations of comparisons between chamber music and social interplay, Klorman infuses the analysis of sonata form and phrase rhythm with a performer’s sensibility. He develops a new analytical method called multiple agency that interprets the various players within an ensemble as participants in stylized social intercourse – characters capable of surprising, seducing, outwitting, and even deceiving one another musically. This book is accompanied by online resources that include original recordings performed by the author and other musicians, as well as video analyses that invite the reader to experience the interplay in time, as if from within the ensemble. edward klorman is Assistant Professor of Music Theory and Viola at Queens College and The Graduate Center, City University of New York (CUNY). He also teaches graduate analysis seminars and chamber music performance at The Juilliard School, where he was founding chair of the Music Theory and Analysis department. Committed to intersections between musical scholarship and per- formance, he currently serves as co-chair of the Performance and Analysis Interest Group of the Society for Music Theory. He has performed as guest artist with the Borromeo, Orion, and Ying Quar- tets and the Lysander Trio, and he is featured on two albums of chamber music from Albany Records.

  • Music in the 20Th Century Serialism Background Information to Five Orchestral Pieces
    AOS 2: Music in the 20th Century Serialism Background Information to Five Orchestral Pieces Five Orchestral Pieces 1909 by Arnold Schoenberg is a set of atonal pieces for full orchestra. Each piece lasts between one to five minutes and they are not connected to one another by the use of any musical material. Richard Strauss requested that Schoenberg send him some short orchestral pieces with the possibility of them gaining some attention from important musical figures. Schoenberg hadn’t written any orchestral pieces since 1903 as he had been experimenting with and developing his ideas of atonality in small scale works. He had had a series of disappointments as some of his works for both chamber orchestra and larger ensembles had been dismissed by important musical figures as they did not understand his music. As a result of this Schoenberg withdrew further into the small group of like minded composers e.g. The Second Viennese School. Schoenberg uses pitches and harmonies for effect not because they are related to one another. He is very concerned with the combinations of different instrumental timbres rather than melody and harmony as we understand and use it. Schoenberg enjoyed concealing things in his music; he believed that the intelligent and attentive listener would be able to decipher the deeper meanings. Schoenberg believed that music could express so much more than words and that words detract from the music. As a result of this belief titles for the Five Orchestral Pieces did not appear on the scores until 13 years after they had been composed.

Cadences articulate the tempo- ral experiences that compose a musical form, and moments of cadence (within a piece or movement) are experienced as temporal turning points, through which the recent past comes into fully-formed shape, and the impending future arouses an invigorated sense of expectation.

  • One Hand Piano Literature in Turkey
    African Educational Research Journal Special Issue 8(2), pp. S49-S61, October 2020 DOI: 10.30918/AERJ.8S2.20.032 ISSN: 2354-2160 Full Length Research Paper One hand piano literature in Turkey Sirin Akbulut Demirci1* and Eda Nergiz2 1 Music Education Department, Education Faculty, Bursa Uludag University, Turkey. 2Music Department, State Conservatory, Giresun University, Turkey. ABSTRACT The curriculum used in amateur and professional piano education is shaped according to the physical and mental state of the students. Easy access to piano literature that can be used in case of one hand and/or one arm disability is important in terms of contributing to the students and piano instructors. For this reason, it is aimed to determine the works of contemporary Turkish composers in this field. Turkish composers who passed away in 2000 and after and those who live today were investigated; 146 of 198 composers who were identified were contact online, and it was concluded that 69 composers did not compose one hand piano work and 7 composers composed one hand piano work. Scores, program notes, work descriptions and sound recordings related to one hand piano works were obtained from those composers. It was found that 2 of these works were composed for the right hand, 3 for the left hand and 2 for any of them. It is thought that the limited number of contemporary Turkish one hand piano literature will contribute positively to piano literature, music educators, piano students and performer with physical disabilities. Keywords: Physical disability, piano education, one hand piano literature, contemporary Turkish composers, contemporary music.
