Second Concert of the 110th Season Special Concert PROGRAM NOTES Quartet in B-flat major, Op. 18, No. 6 .............. LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN (1770-1827) Beethoven's Opus 18 consists of six string quartets that were written mostly in 1799, though they were not published until 1801. This was a successful and contented period for the young composer, who was not yet troubled by any signs of his impending tragic deafness and was achieving a respected reputation as a pianist and composer in musical and aristocratic circles in Vienna. A composer writing in this medium at that time could not fail to have been constantly aware of the great masterpieces of eighteenth-century quartet literature that had been produced by Mozart and Haydn. -

Pedagogical Literature for Violists: Selected Studies from Lillian Fuchs's 16 Fantasy Études and Corresponding Orchestral Excerpts
PEDAGOGICAL LITERATURE FOR VIOLISTS: SELECTED STUDIES FROM LILLIAN FUCHS’S 16 FANTASY ÉTUDES AND CORRESPONDING ORCHESTRAL AUDITION EXCERPTS A DISSERTATION IN Viola Performance Presented to the Faculty of the University of Missouri-Kansas City in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS by YU-FANG CHEN B.M., National Institute of the Arts, Taipei, Taiwan, 2003 M.M., National Institute of the Arts, Taipei, Taiwan, 2005 Kansas City, Missouri 2013 © 2013 YU-FANG CHEN ALL RIGHTS RESERVED PEDAGOGICAL LITERATURE FOR VIOLISTS: SELECTED STUDIES FROM LILLIAN FUCHS’S 16 FANTASY ÉTUDES AND CORRESPONDING ORCHESTRAL AUDITION EXCERPTS Yu-Fang Chen, Candidate for the Doctor of Musical Arts Degree University of Missouri-Kansas City, 2013 ABSTRACT Few colleges and music festivals offer intensive orchestral studies programs as part of the string department curriculum, and those that do focus solely on excerpts and audition preparation. This dissertation proposes a post-graduate course to establish a comprehensive curriculum. The course utilizes two resources, Lillian Fuchs’s 16 Fantasy Études and common orchestral audition excerpts. The 16- week course will help students build their musicality and craftsmanship by studying selected études and standard viola audition repertoire. Each étude will address the technical and musical demands of its given excerpt, and the course will offer students suggestions as how to practice them. Aiming to foster future educators and professional orchestral violists, the author concentrates on the pedagogical and problem-solving aspects of audition preparation. iii APPROVAL PAGE The faculty listed below, appointed by the Dean of the Conservatory of Music have examined a thesis titled “Pedagogical Literature for Violists: Selected Studies from Lillian Fuchs’s 16 Fantasy Études and Corresponding Orchestral Excerpts,” presented by Yu-Fang Chen, candidate for the Doctor of Musical Arts degree, and certify that in their opinion it is worthy of acceptance. -

Please make certain that all electronic devices are turned off during the performance. The taking of photographs and use of recording equipment are not permitted in the auditorium. Introduction to Focus 2020 by Joel Sachs The seed for this year’s Focus Festival was planted in December 2018 at a Juilliard doctoral recital by the Chilean violist Sergio Muñoz Leiva. I was especially struck by the sonata of Rebecca Clarke, an Anglo-American composer of the early 20th century who has been known largely by that one piece, now a staple of the viola repertory. Thinking about the challenges she faced in establishing her credibility as a professional composer, my mind went to a group of women in that period, roughly 1885 to 1930, who struggled to be accepted as professional composers rather than as professional performers writing as a secondary activity or as amateur composers. -

Equally adept as solo pianist, collaborative artist, and educator, he exerts a profound influence on the musical community. Kalish commands an extraordinaril broad repertoire, from the 18th century to the present, and his performances have established him as a major figure in American music making. Many of this century's most prominent composers have written new works with Kalish's communicative powers in mind. His concert tours have taken him across the United States and to many of the world's music capitals and university centers. A native New Yorker and graduate of Columbia University, Kalish studied with Leonard Shure, Isabella Vengerova, and Julius Hereford. He is a founding member of the Contemporary Chamber Ensemble and pianist since 1969 for the Boston Symphony Chamber Players. He also appears as a guest artist with such distinguished ensembles as the Juilliard Quartet and the New York Woodwind Quintet. -

TO THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES: It is my pleasure to transmit herewith the Annual Report of the National Endowment for the Arts for the fiscal year 1996. One measure of a great nation is the vitality of its culture, the dedication of its people to nurturing a climate where creativity can flourish. By support ing our museums and theaters, our dance companies and symphony orches tras, our writers and our artists, the National Endowment for the Arts provides such a climate. Look through this report and you will find many reasons to be proud of our Nation’s cultural life at the end of the 20th century and what it portends for Americans and the world in the years ahead. Despite cutbacks in its budget, the Endowment was able to fund thou sands of projects all across America -- a museum in Sitka, Alaska, a dance company in Miami, Florida, a production of Eugene O’Neill in New York City, a Whisder exhibition in Chicago, and artists in the schools in all 50 states. Millions of Americans were able to see plays, hear concerts, and participate in the arts in their hometowns, thanks to the work of this small agency. As we set priorities for the coming years, let’s not forget the vita! role of the National Endowment for the Arts must continue to play in our national life.
