CLEMENTI: Piano Concerto • Two Symphonies, Op

NAXOS NAXOS These four works are among the few surviving examples of Muzio Clementi’s early orchestral music. The two Symphonies, Op. 18 follow Classical models but are full of the surprise modulations and dynamic contrasts to be found in his piano sonatas. The Piano Concerto has a dazzling solo part and some delightful orchestral touches. Clementi’s Symphonies Nos. 1-4 can be heard on Naxos 8.573071 and 8.573112.

Johann Nepomuk Hummel's Transcriptions
JOHANN NEPOMUK HUMMEL´S TRANSCRIPTIONS OF BEETHOVEN´S SYMPHONY NO. 2, OP. 36: A COMPARISON OF THE SOLO PIANO AND THE PIANO QUARTET VERSIONS Aram Kim, B.M., M.M. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2012 APPROVED: Pamela Mia Paul, Major Professor Clay Couturiaux, Minor Professor Gustavo Romero, Committee Member Steven Harlos, Chair, Division of Keyboard Studies John Murphy, Director of Graduate Studies in the College of Music James Scott, Dean of the College of Music Mark Wardell, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Kim, Aram. Johann Nepomuk Hummel’s Transcriptions of Beethoven´s Symphony No. 2, Op. 36: A Comparison of the Solo Piano and the Piano Quartet Versions. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), August 2012, 30 pp., 2 figures, 13 musical examples, references, 19 titles. Johann Nepomuk Hummel was a noted Austrian composer and piano virtuoso who not only wrote substantially for the instrument, but also transcribed a series of important orchestral pieces. Among them are two transcriptions of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 2 in D Major, Op. 36- the first a version for piano solo and the second a work for piano quartet, with flute substituting for the traditional viola part. This study will examine Hummel’s treatment of the symphony in both transcriptions, looking at a variety of pianistic devices in the solo piano version and his particular instrumentation choices in the quartet version. Each of these transcriptions can serve a particular purpose for performers. The solo piano version is an obvious virtuoso vehicle, whereas the quartet version can be a refreshing program alternative in a piano quartet concert.

At the same time copyright law began to be clarified as it related music, a circumstance which significantly affected the relationship between composers and publishers.

Unfortunately, his musical contributions are overshadowed today by those of his contemporaries Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven. This paper will re-emphasize Clementi’s historical reputation and works, especially his only programmatic instrumental music and one of the late piano sonatas, Didone abbandonata. Clementi titled his last sonata (Op. 50, No. 3, published 1821) after Metastasio’s often-set opera libretto of the same name. Clementi responds to the tragic story of Virgil’s heroine as it is presented in this libretto. As a work of instrumental music, this sonata does not have the benefit of any verbal laments, nor did Clementi borrow from the music produced for its various settings by other composers. Clementi’s late three piano sonatas, Op.

Мистецтвознавство the Early Muzio Clementi's Sonatas: At
Мистецтвознавство UDC 78.071.1:786.2(450) Stepanova Olesia© a postgraduate student of Kharkiv State Academy of Culture [email protected] THE EARLY MUZIO CLEMENTI’S SONATAS: AT THE ORIGINS OF LONDON PIANISM Purpose of the research is to determine the role of M. Clementi in the process of development of the "sounding image of piano " and the scale of his impact on the historical and artistic modernity, It also aims at finding the causes of oblivion of the personality and the works of the composer and pianist in the ХІХ century and the stages of his heritage Renaissance in the performing art and science of the ХХ century. The artistic heritage of the composer Muzio Clementi is considered from the point of view how various stages of the history of London's classicism and incipient Romanticism are represented in it. The study emphasizes that the composer predetermined the processes of the stylistic evolution, presented through the prism of the "sounding image of piano". Studying a creative personality and the piano work of the composer allows for the conclusion about the need for a systematic study of the heritage of Muzio Clementi, as a phenomenon of London pianism. Methodology of the research. Based on the method of comparative analysis of the Piano Sonata, Op. 2 № 1 and examples of the late sonatas of the composer the research defines a paradigmatic function of Clementi early creative experience. Scientific originality is determined by the fact that in Op. 2 № 1 the author reveals the concentrated forms of prototypes of all piano sonatas types, developed in detail in the sonatas of the late period of the composer's work.

Franz Liszt's Early Weimar Period Piano Waltzes
Franz Liszt’s Early Weimar Period Piano Waltzes A document submitted to The Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS In the Performance Studies Division Of the College-Conservatory of Music 2017 by Wei-Ting Yin B.A., National Taiwan Normal University, 2004 M.M., National Taiwan Normal University, 2006 Abstract The piano concert waltz genre had already been established by Carl Maria von Weber, who had expanded the traditional waltz by combining several sequential dances, adding an introduction and coda, and using the first waltz as a refrain to create a rondo-like form. Weber therefore elevated the waltz genre to a concert piece and influenced later composers like Chopin and Liszt. Liszt’s waltzes from the early 1850s are either based on the concert waltz type innovated by Weber or draw on previous compositions by Liszt and other composers. Franz Liszt published Soirées de Vienne, Valse-Impromptu, and Trois Caprices-Valses during the years 1850–53. Among these waltzes, Valse-Impromptu and Trois Caprices-Valses are based on previous versions composed from 1836–43. This document discusses Liszt’s compositional style in the waltzes from the early 1850s through an analysis of their formal structure, tonality, harmony, tempo changes, and virtuosic writing. It also includes the history of the piano waltz, the waltz style of Schubert, Weber, and Chopin, and the historical background of piano waltzes by Liszt from the early 1850s. In the end, my document will shed some light on the understanding of the stylistic diversity of Liszt’s piano waltzes from his early Weimar years.

The Fifty-seventh Season of moods of Schumann and includes some of his finest music. Neglected by several generations of pianists, Bunte Blatter is THE WILLIAM NELSON CROMWELL and currently enjoying a renaissance on recital programs and re cordings. F. LAMMOT BELIN CONCERTS Schumann’s Symphonic Etudes in the Form of Variations is consid ered one of his most inspired and significant works for the piano, yet was written when he was only twenty-four. As performed National Gallery of Art today, the variations include twelve etudes that were juxtaposed by Schumann and five others that he wrote but did not include. These were added after his death by Johannes Brahms, who ed ited the work and published it in 1873 in a supplementary vol ume of his Complete Works of Schumann. The pianistic writing is demonic and requires technique of a superior order. The varia tions run the gamut from capricious and alluring through clamor ous and forceful to highly poetic and sensuous. -Program notes by Elmer Booze Concerts at the National Gallery of Art Under the Direction of George Manos November 1998 22 National Gallery Orchestra Mozart: “Don Giovanni ’ George Manos, conductor Overture Claudia Chudacoff, violinist Symphony No. 35 Marcio Botelho, cellist Brahms: Concerto for 2285th Concert Violin, Cello, and Orchestra 29 Joao Carlos Martins, pianist J.
