  • Ravel & Rachmaninoff
    NOTES ON THE PROGRAM BY LAURIE SHULMAN, ©2017 2018 Winter Festival America, Inspiring: Ravel & Rachmaninoff ONE-MINUTE NOTES Martinů: Thunderbolt P-47. A World War II American fighter jet was the inspiration for this orchestral scherzo. Martinů pays homage to technology, the machine age and the brave pilots who risked death, flying these bombers to win the war. Ravel: Piano Concerto in G Major. Ravel was enthralled by American jazz, whose influence is apparent in this jazzy concerto. The pristine slow movement concerto evokes Mozart’s spirit in its clarity and elegance. Ravel’s wit sparkles in the finale, proving that he often had a twinkle in his eye. Rachmaninoff: Symphonic Dances. Rachmaninoff’s final orchestral work, a commission from the Philadelphia Orchestra, brings together Russian dance and Eastern European mystery. Listen for the “Dies irae” at the thrilling close. MARTINŮ: Thunderbolt P-47, Scherzo for Orchestra, H. 309 BOHUSLAV MARTINŮ Born: December 8, 1890, in Polička, Czechoslovakia Died: August 28, 1959, in Liestal, nr. Basel, Switzerland Composed: 1945 World Premiere: December 19, 1945, in Washington, DC. Hans Kindler conducted the National Symphony. NJSO Premiere: These are the NJSO premiere performances. Duration: 11 minutes Between 1941 and 1945, Republic Aviation built 15,636 P-47 Thunderbolt fighter planes. Introduced in November 1942, the aircraft was a bomber equipped with machine guns. British, French and American air forces used them for the last three years of the war. Early in 1945, the Dutch émigré conductor Hans Kindler commissioned Bohuslav Martinů—himself an émigré from Czechoslovakia who had resided in the United States since March 1941—to write a piece for the National Symphony Orchestra.

  • Critical Success Factors in Cello Training – a Comparative Study
    Critical success factors in cello training a comparative study by Anzél Gerber Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree PhD Music (Performance Practice) in the Department of Music Goldsmiths College, University of London Supervisor Professor Alexander Ivashkin 2008 (ii) DECLARATION I, Anzél Gerber, the undersigned, hereby declare that this dissertation, submitted in partial fulfilment for the degree PhD Music (Performance Practice), is my own original work. Signed: _______________________ Anzél Gerber (iii) ABSTRACT The research focused on the identification and ranking of critical success factors that contribute most significantly towards the training of a cello student. The empirical study was based on a sample of cello teachers in four countries selected for the study, namely Germany, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States of America. A literature study, identifying a broad category of factors that could contribute towards successful cello training, formed the basis of the questionnaire. These critical success factors included the quality of the teacher, acquired skills, the talent and giftedness of the student, support rendered to the student, and the curriculum. Each of these factors comprised five sub factors. The respondents were required to rank these factors in order of importance. In the final analysis, they were requested to rank the five main factors. A statistical process of ranking (forced ranking) and Kruskal-Wallis was applied to rank and analyse the responses of the cello teachers in the survey. The critical success factors that contribute the most significantly towards successful cello training were identified and compared. ________________________________ (iv) PREFACE This study is in partial fulfilment for the degree PhD Music Performance at Goldsmiths College, University of London.

  • Arthur Pryor
    Arthur Pryor One of the best and most complete sources for information about Pryor is contained in the Historical Notes included in the ARTHUR PRYOR Trombone Soloist of the Sousa Band, produced by Crystal Records CD451. 1 "His execution set the prairies afire; His vibrating pedal tones rattled the windows of the Theatre and killed the gold fishes and stunned the canaries all the way out to the packing plant where even the iron gates trembled." So said an exuberant newspaper reporter in Omaha. Nebraska, following a performance by the young trombone virtuoso Arthur Pryor. A later performance in Kansas City almost caused a riot when many in the crowd misunderstood Cries of "Pryor Pryor for "fire, fire." And so it went through the years when the Boy Wonder from Missouri was the featured star of John Philip Sousa's famous band. Though Pryor gave up active public performance while in his forties. his activities as bandmaster and composer kept him in the public eye for most of the rest of his life. A household word for some three decades, Pryor's Band was second in fame only to that of Sousa's. Virtuoso performer. conductor, composer, arranger, teacher, and author, Arthur Pryor was, and continued to be, a major influence in American musical life. Arthur Willard Pryor was born on September 22, 1870, on the second floor of the Lyceum Theatre, St. Joseph, Missouri. His father was the bandmaster of the town, and the family was living at the Theatre. Arthur was the second son born to Samuel D.
