  • Aubrey Brain (1893-1955)
    Aubrey Brain (1893-1955) Aubrey Harold Brain was the son of A.E. Brain, Senior, brother of Alfred Brain, Junior, and father of Dennis Brain – all distinguished horn players. Another brother, Arthur, also played horn, but abandoned music to become a police officer. Aubrey’s first instrument was the violin, but he soon switched to horn. He first studied with his father, then with Adela Sutcliffe and Eugene Mieir, and finally with Friedrich Adolph Borsdorf at the Royal College of Music in 1911. He played in the North London Orchestral Society during his College years and was appointed principal horn of the New Symphony Orchestra in 1911. He went on the London Symphony Orchestra's tour of the US under Arthur Nikish in 1912; his father was unable to go on the tour because of his contract with Covent Garden. After returning from the tour, Aubrey joined his father and brother in a memorial concert for the Titanic. Aubrey became principal horn of Sir Thomas Beecham's opera company orchestra in 1913. It was during a tour with this company that he met Marion Beeley, a contralto for whom Sir Edward Elgar wrote "Hail, Immortal Ind!" in his opera The Crown of India. They were married in 1914. Aubrey’s early career was shadowed by the success of his older brother, Alfred, who dominated the scene until he left for the United States in 1922, and of his teacher, Borsdorf, until Borsdorf was forced to resign because of anti-German feeling at the outbreak of World War I in 1914.

  • (ABH) and Gesellschaft Für Unternehmensgeschichte (GUG), 27-28 May 2016, Humboldt University Berlin, Germany
    Joint Conference Association of Business Historians (ABH) and Gesellschaft für Unternehmensgeschichte (GUG), 27-28 May 2016, Humboldt University Berlin, Germany Disruptive Innovation in the Creative Industries: The adoption of the German horn in Britain 1935-75 David Smith* and Richard Blundel** *Nottingham Trent University, UK and **The Open University, UK Abstract This paper examines the interplay between innovation and entrepreneurial processes amongst competing firms in the creative industries. It does so through a case study of the introduction and diffusion into Britain of a brass musical instrument, the wide bore German horn, over a period of some 40 years in the middle of the twentieth century. The narrative contrasts the strategies followed by two brass instrument manufacturers, one a new entrant the other an incumbent. It shows how the new entrant despite a slow start, small scale and a commitment to traditional artisanal skills, was able to develop the technology of the German horn and establish itself as one of the world’s leading brands of horn, while the incumbent firm despite being the first to innovate steadily lost ground until like many of the other leading horn makers of the 1930s, it eventually exited the industry. Keywords: Disruptive innovation, Creative Industries, Musical Instruments Introduction For much of the 19th and a substantial part of the 20th century, British orchestras had a distinctive sound. This differentiated them from their counterparts in many parts of Europe and the United States. This sound was the product of the instruments they played, most notably in the horn section of the orchestra. In Britain horn players typically utilized instruments modelled on the Raoux horn from France.

  • The Impact of Dennis Brain on the Development of the French Horn
    Theses of DLA Doctoral Dissertation Gyula Molnár The Impact of Dennis Brain on the Development of the French Horn Liszt Academy of Music Doctoral School No.28 Art and Culture History Budapest 2010 I. Background of the Research No professional literature on the life and work of Dennis Brain is available in the Hungarian language. This topic is therefore entirely novel for the Hungarian music history. However, a considerable volume of professional literature is available abroad, especially in the United Kingdom and Japan. An outstanding collection of literature in this field is Stephen J. Pettitt’ book entitled Dennis Brain: A biography, which deals with the history and work of the Brain family with a focus on Dennis Brain’s life. That detailed work includes a tremendous amount of data but it does not attempt to provide an analysis and assessment, and no music history context and conclusions are offered. Further professional literature deals with the analysis of Dennis Brain’s recordings, though all but a few of them involve a particular piece of music and the entire oeuvre. Finally, I have only found literature about Dennis Brain’s efforts in the field of instrument development attempts and the impacts of such development in limited quantity. My objective is to provide an analysis of the ideas of the Brain family, and Dennis Brain in particular, regarding the French horn, presenting the music history context, the innovations and their impact on inherited traditions, and the development of the French horn as instrument in detail. 2 II. Sources The prime source of information for my doctoral dissertation is Stephen J.

    RETROSPECTIVE SUMMER 2020 By Brian Wilson The decision to axe the ‘Second Thoughts and Short Reviews’ feature left me with a vast array of part- written reviews, left unfinished after a colleague had got their thoughts online first, with not enough hours in the day to recast a full review in each case. This is an attempt to catch up. Even if in almost every case I find myself largely in agreement with the original review, a brief reminder of something you may have missed, with a slightly different slant, may be useful – and, occasionally, I may be raising a dissenting voice.

It also marked the sixth anniversary of the September 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States. The horrific events of 11 September stunned the nation; the death of Brain at the age of thirty-six in a car accident affected his family, music lovers, and musicians. Composers have memorialized both tragedies in elegies for horn. In fact, a wide variety of elegiac works composed during the latter half of the twentieth century feature horn. This study investigates eight such memorial works for horn: Jeffrey Agrell’s September Elegy (2001), dedicated to the victims of the 11 September 2001 terrorist attacks; Hermann Baumann’s Elegia for Natural Horn (1984), dedicated to Francesco Raselli; Adrian Cruft’s Elegy for Horn and Strings (1967), dedicated to Dennis Brain; James Funkhouser’s In Memoriam (2004), dedicated to Elaine Crawford; Douglas Hill’s Elegy for Horn Alone (1998), dedicated to C.

Restoring music’s value by turning inwards and closing ranks may seem strange to us in an age when the constant accessibility of music has become a cultural assumption, yet Schoenberg believed that elevating the currency, purity of expression and mystique of music inevitably meant a degree of exclusivity.

  • Dennis Brain Discography
    DENNIS BRAIN ON RECORD A Comprehensive Discography Compiled by Robert L. Marshall Fourth Edition, 2011 FOREWORD This is the fourth, and no doubt final, revision of the “Comprehensive Inventory by Composer” section from my book, Dennis Brain on Record: A Comprehensive Discography of his Solo, Chamber and Orchestral Recordings, originally published in 1996, with a foreword by Gunther Schuller (Newton, Mass: Margun Music, Inc.). Most of the additions and corrections contained in the present list were brought to my attention by Dr. Stephen J. Gamble who, over the course of the past fifteen years, has generously shared his discographical findings with me. Although many of these newly listed items also appear in the discography section of the recently published volume Dennis Brain: A Life in Music, co-authored by Dr. Gamble and William C. Lynch (University of North Texas Press), it seemed useful nonetheless to make an updated, integral version of the “comprehensive” inventory available as well. There is one significant exception to the claim of “comprehensiveness” in the present compilation; namely, no attempt has been made here to update the information relating to Dennis Brain’s film studio activities. All the entries in that regard included here were already listed in the original publication of this discography. The total number of entries itemized here stands at 1,791. In the original volume it was 1,632. All the newly added items are marked in the first column with an asterisk after the composer’s name. (It will be interesting to see whether any further releases are still forthcoming.) The entries themselves have been updated in other respects as well.

  • The Career and Legacy of Hornist Joseph Eger: His Solo
    THE CAREER AND LEGACY OF HORNIST JOSEPH EGER: HIS SOLO CAREER, RECORDINGS, AND ARRANGEMENTS Kathleen S. Pritchett, B.M., M.M. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2008 APPROVED: William Scharnberg, Major Professor Gene Cho, Committee Member Keith Johnson, Committee Member Terri Sundberg, Chair of the Instrumental Studies Division Graham Phillips, Director of Graduate Studies in the College of Music James C. Scott, Dean of the School of Music Sandra L. Terrell, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Pritchett, Kathleen S., The Career and Legacy of Hornist Joseph Eger: His Solo Career, Recordings, and Arrangements. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), May 2008, 43 pp., 3 tables, references, 28 titles. This study documents the career of Joseph Eger (b. 1920), who had a short but remarkable playing career in the 1940’s, 1950’s and early 1960’s. Eger toured the United States and Britain as a soloist with his own group, even trading tours with the legendary British hornist, Dennis Brain. He recorded a brilliant solo album, transcribed or arranged several solos for horn, and premiered compositions now standard in the horn repertoire. He served as Principal Horn of the New York Philharmonic, Los Angeles Philharmonic, and the National Symphony. Despite his illustrious career as a hornist, many horn players today do not recognize his name. While Eger was a renowned horn soloist in the middle of the twentieth century, he all but disappeared as a hornist, refocused his career, and reemerged as a conductor, social activist, and author.

It looks even more interesting when you realize that six of the recordings were previously unpublished (those by Eubenschiitz, Grainger, Hofmann, Pachmann, Paderewski, and Godowski). Further, to the best of my knowledge, only the recordings by Brahms, Debussy, and Michalowski have been on LP before. Unfortunately, there is a rather large fly in the enriching oint­ ment. IPA's dubbing engineer, Ward Marston, has done some excellent work with electrical recordings, but he.
