    THE EVOLUTION OF THE BROADWOOD GRAND PIANO 1785-1998 by Alastair Laurence DPhil. University of York Department of Music September 1998 Broadwood Grand Piano of 1801 (Finchcocks Collection, Goudhurst, Kent) Abstract: The Evolution of the Broadwood Grand Piano, 1785-1998 This dissertation describes the way in which one company's product - the grand piano - evolved over a period of two hundred and thirteen years. The account begins by tracing the origins of the English grand, then proceeds with a description of the earliest surviving models by Broadwood, dating from the late eighteenth century. Next follows an examination of John Broadwood and Sons' piano production methods in London during the early nineteenth century, and the transition from small-scale workshop to large factory is noted. The dissertation then proceeds to record in detail the many small changes to grand design which took place as the nineteenth century progressed, ranging from the extension of the keyboard compass, to the introduction of novel technical features such as the famous Broadwood barless steel frame. The dissertation concludes by charting the survival of the Broadwood grand piano since 1914, and records the numerous difficulties which have faced the long-established company during the present century. The unique feature of this dissertation is the way in which much of the information it contains has been collected as a result of the writer's own practical involvement in piano making, tuning and restoring over a period of thirty years; he has had the opportunity to examine many different kinds of Broadwood grand from a variety of historical periods.

    The RECORDING Navigating, Coping & Cashing In Maze November 2013 Introduction Trying to get a handle on where the recording business is headed is a little like trying to nail Jell-O to the wall. No matter what side of the business you may be on— producing, selling, distributing, even buying recordings— there is no longer a “standard operating procedure.” Hence the title of this Special Report, designed as a guide to the abundance of recording and distribution options that seem to be cropping up almost daily thanks to technology’s relentless march forward. And as each new delivery CONTENTS option takes hold—CD, download, streaming, app, flash drive, you name it—it exponentionally accelerates the next. 2 Introduction At the other end of the spectrum sits the artist, overwhelmed with choices: 4 The Distribution Maze: anybody can (and does) make a recording these days, but if an artist is not signed Bring a Compass: Part I with a record label, or doesn’t have the resources to make a vanity recording, is there still a way?

Vilka är möjligheterna att arbeta normkritiskt – och normkreativt – med opera? I det här proJektet undersöker Tove Dahlberg och Kristina Hagström-Ståhl tillsammans sångarens handlingsutrymme i den konstnärliga processen, samt relationen mellan scenisk och musikalisk gestaltning i operarepertoar. Med Mozarts opera Figaros bröllop (1786) som utgångspunkt och material har Tove och Kristina mötts i en serie laborationer, som syftat till att väcka frågor kring konventioner och ”tyst kunskap” inom opera, men även att utveckla metoder för breddade och medvetna val i den konstnärliga processen. Med sig har de haft pianister med lång erfarenhet av att arbeta med Mozarts operor. Tove tar sig an fem kvinnliga och manliga roller ur operan, med en dubbel målsättning: att utmana sina egna vokala och sceniska register och att låta operans scener och arior bli föremål för konstnärlig undersökning. Särskilt har vi tittat på hur sångliga och kroppsliga praktiker tillsammans påverkar hur maskulinitet och femininitet kan gestaltas och hur gestaltningen blir läsbar för en publik. En genomgående frågeställning har gällt relationen mellan operan som material och konstnärligt verk i egen rätt – mellan sångarens och rollens behov.

  • Introduction

    Introduction

    INTRODUCTION. Nicola Vicentino dei Vicentini was born in Vicenza in 1511 and died around 1576-77 in Milan. His name and birthplace are recorded in a document concerning his appointment as chapel master in Vicenza in 1563.1 His date of birth can be assumed from two references in his trea- tise Ancient Music Adapted to Modern Practice (Rome, 1555): the wood- cut giving his age as forty-four and his assertion that he was thirty-nine in 1550. The year of his death, shortly after the plague that ravaged north- ern Italy in 1575 and again in 1576, is given by Ercole Bottrigari in // Desiderio (Venice, 1599).2 Vicentino studied in Venice under Adrian Willaert sometime during the 1530s. His first book of five-voice madrigals (Venice, 1546) proudly announces his indebtedness to his "unique" and "divine" master.3 Given the unexceptional music in this collection, Vicentino's comments about his new or rediscovered styles of composing, allegedly influenced by Willaert, amount to little more than the customary platitudes. Vicentino styled himself "Don" on the title-page, indicating that he should be considered a distinguished priest. Several other documents corroborate his vocation.4 Possibly this title of respect was accorded to Vicentino when he entered the service of Ippolito II d'Este, cardinal of Ferrara. Just as we cannot ascertain when Vicentino began and ended his studies with Willaert, so we cannot say when he joined and quit the retinue of the cardinal. It is possible, however, to suggest some reason- able hypotheses. For the years of study under Willaert, the mid- to late 1530s are plausible.

À l’automne, Laurence Equilbey va diriger pour la première fois au Palais Garnier. À l’affiche : une création chorégraphique de Marie-Agnès Gillot, danseuse étoile du Ballet de l’Opéra de Paris, sur des musiques de Bruckner, Ligeti et Feldman – une dramaturgie musicale signée Laurence Equilbey. accentus va également participer au premier concert d’Insula orchestra. Le nouvel orchestre sur instruments anciens fondé par Laurence Equilbey fait effectivement son entrée dans la structure erda I accentus. Soutenue par le Conseil général des Hauts-de-Seine, cette formation promet de revisiter l’époque classique et pré-romantique, tant dans le répertoire symphonique que dans l’oratorio (voir brochure spécifique). La saison est également rythmée par des créations particulièrement attendues. Bruno Mantovani livre sa Cantate n°4, dans laquelle il confronte le chœur à deux instruments : le violoncelle de Sonia Wieder-Atherton et l’accordéon de Pascal Contet. Dans le domaine lyrique, accentus participe, à l’Opéra de Rouen Haute-Normandie, à la création d’un opéra du compositeur belge Michel Fourgon inspiré du destin de… Lolo Ferrari. Une première sulfureuse ! On peut également parler de premières pour certains ouvrages du passé exhumés de l’oubli.
