  • Leonard Bernstein
    chapter one Young American Bernstein at Harvard In 1982, at the age of sixty-four, Leonard Bernstein included in his col- lection of his writings, Findings, some essays from his younger days that prefi gured signifi cant elements of his later adult life and career. The fi rst, “Father’s Books,” written in 1935 when he was seventeen, is about his father and the Talmud. Throughout his life, Bernstein was ever mind- ful that he was a Jew; he composed music on Jewish themes and in later years referred to himself as a “rabbi,” a teacher with a penchant to pass on scholarly learning, wisdom, and lore to orchestral musicians.1 Moreover, Bernstein came to adopt an Old Testament prophetic voice for much of his music, including his fi rst symphony, Jeremiah, and his third, Kaddish. The second essay, “The Occult,” an assignment for a freshman composi- tion class at Harvard that he wrote in 1938 when he was twenty years old, was about meeting Dimitri Mitropoulos, who inspired him to take up conducting. The third, his senior thesis of April 1939, was a virtual man- ifesto calling for an organic, vernacular, rhythmically based, distinctly American music, a music that he later championed from the podium and realized in his compositions for the Broadway stage and operatic and concert halls.2 8 Copyrighted Material Seldes 1st pages.indd 8 9/15/2008 2:48:29 PM Young American / 9 EARLY YEARS: PROPHETIC VOICE Bernstein as an Old Testament prophet?

  • Dimitri Mitropoulos’
    Yannis Belonis DIMITRI MITROPOULOS’... Yannis Belonis DIMITRI MITROPOULOS’ LONESOME PASSAGE TO MODERN MUSIC Abstract: It is not widely known that Dimitri Mitropoulos’ first public ap- pearances in Greece were as a composer. His early works (ca. 1912–1924), distinguished by the blend of elements of the late-romantic style with in- tensely impressionistic references, reflect the search for a personal, ‘ad- vanced’ harmonic musical language. In his works written after 1924, Mitro- poulos abandons tonality and adopts more modern idioms of composition (atonality and 12-tone method). He is the first Greek composer to folow the modern musical tendencies of Europe, when music by Manolis Kalomiris and the other composers of the Greek National School was dominant in Greece. Keywords: Dimitris Mitropoulos; Nikos Skalkottas; Ferrucio Busoni; Passa- gaglia, Intermezzo e Fuga; Ostinata for violin and piano; Concerto Grosso. Dimitri Mitropoulos (1896–1960) constitutes perhaps the most charismatic musical personality which Greece has ever produced. He became famous all over the world through his outstanding explanatory performances (specifically works of the later-romantic and the modern period), as the conductor of several orchestras in Europe and America, and by his exceptional ability to play piano and simultaneously direct some of the early 20th century compositions in virtuoso concerts. Apart from his astonishing ability to memorise works with enormous technical and interpretative difficulties, which he directed by heart with more suc- cess than any other conductor in his period, he was the only one who dared to shoulder the double role of interpreter and conductor (from the piano), in performances of modern composers’ works with: ‘such an ad- vanced musical language and such technical requirements that even the best pianists avoided including in their repertory’.1 Nevertheless, some- thing that is not widely known is that Mitropoulos, this multidimensional personality, appeared as a composer in his early career in Greece.

  • What Does a Conductor Do? a Critic Decides to Find Out—By Stepping up to the Podium Himself
    Classical Music Critic Justin Davidson Learns How to... http://nymag.com/arts/classicaldance/classical/features... What Does a Conductor Do? A critic decides to find out—by stepping up to the podium himself. By Justin Davidson Published Dec 26, 2011 m standing on a podium, with an I’ enameled wand cocked between my fingers and sweat dampening the small of my back. Ranks of young musicians eye me skeptically. They know I don’t belong here, but they’re waiting for me to pretend I do. I raise my arm in the oppressive silence and let it drop. Miraculously, Mozart’s overture to Don Giovanni explodes in front of me, ragged but recognizable, violently thrilling. This feels like an anxiety dream, but it’s actually an attempt to answer a question that the great conductor Riccardo Muti asked on (Photo: Gjon Mili, Time Life Pictures/Getty Images) receiving an award last year: “What is it, really, I do?” I have been wondering what, exactly, a conductor does since around 1980, when I led a JVC boom box in a phenomenal performance of Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony in my bedroom. I was bewitched by the music—the poignant plod of the second movement, the crazed gallop of the fourth—and fascinated by the sorcery. In college, I took a conducting course, presided over a few performances of my own compositions, and led the pit orchestra for a modern-dance program. Those crumbs of experience left me in awe of the constellation of skills and talents required of a conductor—and also made me somewhat skeptical that waving a stick creates a coherent interpretation.
