WALL PAPERS FROM 10c TO $10.00 THE ROLL LEADERS OF ALFRIi/.h i'KA I'S CO WALL PAPER FASHIONS 118 SUMMER STREET, BOSTON 134 Symphony in E minor, Op. 98 Johannes Brahms (Born at Hamburg, May 7, 1833; died at Vienna, April 3, 1897.) This symphony was first performed at Meiningen, 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 26, 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, and Schumann's Symphony in B-flat was substituted for the concert of November 27. There were further rehearsals, and the work was played for the first time at a concert of the Boston Symphony Orches- tra on December 23, 1886. This symphony was composed in the summers of 1884 and 1885 at Miirz Zuschlag 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 manuscript 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 with either arm outspread on the precious papers piled on each side of her." A scene for the "his- torical painter"!

SCHMIOT BOSTON, MASS. 120 Boylston Street For Sale by all Music Dealers 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 Mr. Max Kalbeck, whose Life of Brahms, not yet com- pleted, contains 1,823 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 Giirzenich 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 symphony by Bruckner, and he acted in a childish manner. Wiillner answered that he thought it his duty to produce new works, and a symphony by Bruckner was certainly more interesting than one by Gernsheim, Cowen, or Schar- wenka. Brahms was doubtful about the value of his fourth symphony. He wished to know the opinion of Elisabeth von Herzogenberg and Clara Schumann. He and Ignaz Briill played a pianoforte arrangement 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 people like Billroth, Hanslick, and you do not like my music, whom will it please?" he said to Kalbeck. There was a preliminary rehearsal at Meiningen for correction of the parts. Biilow conducted it, and there were present the Landgraf of Hesse, Richard Strauss, then second conductor of the Meiningen orchestra, and Frederick Lamond, the pianist. Brahms arrived in time for the first performance. The symphony was most warmly applauded, and the audience endeavored, but in vain, to obtain a repetition of the third movement. The work was repeated November 1 under Billow's direction, and was conducted by the composer in the course of a three weeks' tour with the orchestra and Biilow in Germany and in the Netherlands. The first performance in Vienna was at a Philharmonic Concert, led by Richter, January 17, 1886. "Though the symphony was applauded by the public and praised by all but the inveterately hostile section of the press, it did not reach the hearts of the Vienna audience in the same unmistakable manner as its two immediate predecessors, both of which had made a more striking im- pression on a first hearing in Austria than the first symphony in C minor.

  • Chapter 1 Geometric Generalizations of the Tonnetz and Their Relation To
    November 22, 2017 12:45 ws-rv9x6 Book Title yustTonnetzSub page 1 Chapter 1 Geometric Generalizations of the Tonnetz and their Relation to Fourier Phases Spaces Jason Yust Boston University School of Music, 855 Comm. Ave., Boston, MA, 02215 [email protected] Some recent work on generalized Tonnetze has examined the topologies resulting from Richard Cohn's common-tone based formulation, while Tymoczko has reformulated the Tonnetz as a network of voice-leading re- lationships and investigated the resulting geometries. This paper adopts the original common-tone based formulation and takes a geometrical ap- proach, showing that Tonnetze can always be realized in toroidal spaces, and that the resulting spaces always correspond to one of the possible Fourier phase spaces. We can therefore use the DFT to optimize the given Tonnetz to the space (or vice-versa). I interpret two-dimensional Tonnetze as triangulations of the 2-torus into regions associated with the representatives of a single trichord type. The natural generalization to three dimensions is therefore a triangulation of the 3-torus. This means that a three-dimensional Tonnetze is, in the general case, a network of three tetrachord-types related by shared trichordal subsets. Other Ton- netze that have been proposed with bounded or otherwise non-toroidal topologies, including Tymoczko's voice-leading Tonnetze, can be under- stood as the embedding of the toroidal Tonnetze in other spaces, or as foldings of toroidal Tonnetze with duplicated interval types. 1. Formulations of the Tonnetz The Tonnetz originated in nineteenth-century German harmonic theory as a network of pitch classes connected by consonant intervals.

  • From Coppet to Milan: Romantic Circles at La Scala
    From Coppet to Milan: Romantic Circles at La Scala Carmen Casaliggi Cardiff Metropolitan University When Percy Shelley left England and settled with Mary Godwin and Claire Clairmont at Maison Chapuis close to Villa Diodati in May 1816, his thoughts naturally turned to the people who were part of the coterie of European writers and artists visiting Switzerland during that Summer. As he wrote in a letter to Thomas Jefferson Hogg dated July 18, 1816: “Lord Byron, whom I have seen at this place, is about to publish a new canto of Childe Harold [...] Mad. de Stael [sic] is here & a number of literary people whom I have not seen, & indeed have no great curiosity to see” (493). Despite their strident disagreement over the merits of Byron’s entourage, Shelley’s words are suggestive of the significance of Switzerland as a centre of creativity and inspiration; it also becomes an important site to test authentic forms of sociability. John William Polidori’s diary entry for May 25, 1816 – written only few days after he arrived in Switzerland as Byron’s personal physician - retraces the footsteps of writers and philosophers interested in Swiss destinations: “It is a classic ground we go over. Buonaparte, Joseph, Bonnet, Necker, Staël, Voltaire, Rousseau, all have their villas (except Rousseau). Genthoud, Ferney, Coppet are close to the road” (96). This distinctive association of the biographical, the historical, and the geographical indicates the extent to which the Swiss experience can be seen as one of the first Romantic examples of influence and collaboration between British and European Romantic writers.

  • From Schritte and Wechsel to Coxeter Groups 3
    From Schritte and Wechsel to Coxeter Groups Markus Schmidmeier1 Abstract: The PLR-moves of neo-Riemannian theory, when considered as re- flections on the edges of an equilateral triangle, define the Coxeter group S3. The elements are in a natural one-to-one correspondence with the trianglese in the infinite Tonnetz. The left action of S3 on the Tonnetz gives rise to interest- ing chord sequences. We compare the systeme of transformations in S3 with the system of Schritte and Wechsel introduced by Hugo Riemann in 1880e . Finally, we consider the point reflection group as it captures well the transition from Riemann’s infinite Tonnetz to the finite Tonnetz of neo-Riemannian theory. Keywords: Tonnetz, neo-Riemannian theory, Coxeter groups. 1. PLR-moves revisited In neo-Riemannian theory, chord progressions are analyzed in terms of elementary moves in the Tonnetz. For example, the process of going from tonic to dominant (which differs from the tonic chord in two notes) is decomposed as a product of two elementary moves of which each changes only one note. The three elementary moves considered are the PLR-transformations; they map a major or minor triad to the minor or major triad adjacent to one of the edges of the triangle representing the chord in the Tonnetz.

  • Zefiro Ci Riporta Le Note Di Soliva Di Carla Baselgia-Ferrari
    SETTEMBRE 2015 Zefiro ci riporta le note di Soliva di Carla Baselgia-Ferrari Sarah Albertoni, clarinetto, Zarina Armari Quadroni, pianoforte, Veronika Kiss, fagotto: tre donne di talento che con i loro strumenti musicali compongono un trio interessante e singolare, in quanto l’accostamento clarinetto, pianoforte e fagotto è piuttosto insolito. Assieme formano il Trio Zeffiretto, nome vezzoso ed evocativo che si ispira a Zefiro, un vento poetico, messaggero di primavera. Il 4 di ottobre prossimo alla Bibliomedia di Biasca, alle ore 17.30, il Trio Zeffiretto si esibirà in un concerto che propone un programma di autori interessanti, accomunati da analogie temporali e culturali. Nel nostro contesto locale è particolarmente intrigante la presenza fra questi autori di un compositore di origini bleniesi. Si tratta di Carlo Evasio Soliva (Casale Monferrato 1791- Parigi 1853), figlio di Giovanni Soliva emigrato da Semione in Piemonte dove gestiva un caffè, e di Lucia Cima di Olivone. Primo di quattro figli, Carlo Evasio venne indirizzato agli studi musicali dapprima come chierico presso la cappella del duomo di Casale. In seguito venne iscritto al Conservatorio di Milano di cui fu uno dei primi allievi. Nel 1815 fu uno dei primi tre diplomati del Conservatorio, ottenendo il primo premio in composizione. Il giovanissimo Soliva, grazie ai suoi meriti di studio, ottenne l’incarico di comporre la musica su un libretto di Felice Romani, uscito vincitore da un concorso bandito dalla Scala di MiIano. In cinque mesi Soliva compose il melodramma eroicomico in due atti La testa di bronzo o sia La capanna solitaria che andò in scena al Teatro alla Scala il 3 settembre 1816, ottenendo un grandissimo successo e ben 47 repliche.

    Original place of publication: Murphy, Scott. (2014) “Scoring Loss in Some Recent Popular Film and Television.” Music Theory Spectrum, 36(2), 295-314. Original date of publication: 7 Oct 2014 URL: http://mts.oxfordjournals.org/content/early/2014/09/24/mts.mtu014 ABSTRACT A certain tonally- and temporally-oriented progression of two triads, dwelt upon usually through undulation, accompanies scenes depicting the contemplation of a considerable sorrowful loss in many popular films and throughout one television program produced between 1985 and 2012. In lieu of any strong stylistic precedent for this musico-dramatic association, certain structural relationships between the two triads relative to other triadic pairings may account for possible motivations of the association. Keywords: film music, television music, tonality, triadic harmony, triadic transformation, mediant triad, loss, sorrow, homology, James Horner, Cocoon The narrative of Ron Howard’s 1985 movie Cocoon brings two parties into conflict: a peaceable and immortal alien race suffering from the regrettable but necessary abandonment of twenty of their kind on Earth thousands of years ago, and a group of present-day retirement-home residents in Florida suffering from degradation of health and vitality.*To counter these adversities, both parties use a lifeforce generated in a neglected swimming pool by a team of four aliens, led by Walter (Brian Dennehy), sent back to Earth to retrieve their stranded and cocooned comrades. The pool restores the abandoned aliens to full health, a requirement for their interstellar journey home, but it also acts as a “fountain of youth” for a trio of elderly men—Art (Don Ameche), Ben (Wilford Brimley), and Joe (Hume Cronyn)—who surreptitiously swim there; for example, the alien lifeforce miraculously throws Joe’s leukemia into 1 remission.

This early, crucial reception history has been incredibly significant and subversive; the details of the personal and political motivations behind deeply negative or manically positive responses to Schoenberg’s music have not been preserved with the same fidelity as the scandalous reactions themselves. We know that Schoenberg was feared, despised, lauded, and imitated early in his career, but much of the explanation as to why has been forgotten or overlooked.

  • The Death and Resurrection of Function
    THE DEATH AND RESURRECTION OF FUNCTION A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By John Gabriel Miller, B.A., M.C.M., M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2008 Doctoral Examination Committee: Approved by Dr. Gregory Proctor, Advisor Dr. Graeme Boone ________________________ Dr. Lora Gingerich Dobos Advisor Graduate Program in Music Copyright by John Gabriel Miller 2008 ABSTRACT Function is one of those words that everyone understands, yet everyone understands a little differently. Although the impact and pervasiveness of function in tonal theory today is undeniable, a single, unambiguous definition of the term has yet to be agreed upon. So many theorists—Daniel Harrison, Joel Lester, Eytan Agmon, Charles Smith, William Caplin, and Gregory Proctor, to name a few—have so many different nuanced understandings of function that it is nearly impossible for conversations on the subject to be completely understood by all parties. This is because function comprises at least four distinct aspects, which, when all called by the same name, function , create ambiguity, confusion, and contradiction. Part I of the dissertation first illuminates this ambiguity in the term function by giving a historical basis for four different aspects of function, three of which are traced to Riemann, and one of which is traced all the way back to Rameau. A solution to the problem of ambiguity is then proposed: the elimination of the term function . In place of function , four new terms—behavior , kinship , province , and quality —are invoked, each uniquely corresponding to one of the four aspects of function identified.
