Influenced both by Brahmsian late-Romanticism and by the catastrophic events of the First World War, the imaginative String Quartet No. 1 reflects his concern to extend but honour traditional forms. Cast in the form of a suite, the by turns tempestuous and beautiful String Quartet No. 4 remains Hindemith’s most popular and performed quartet. This is the third and final volume of a highly acclaimed cycle. ‘As with the previous release in this series, the performances are all outstanding.’ (ClassicsToday.com / 8.572164, Volume 2) Key Features • The Danish Quartet has recorded all the quartets on CPO 999287, a 3-CD set released in 1997. The Sonare Quartet Frankfurt [CPO 999001] coupled the first Quartet – performed on this Naxos disc – with the Fifth, which is on an earlier Naxos volume. If they keep up this standard, there is little doubt that this will become the reference edition in this music ClassicsToday of volume 1 [8572163].

Companion Titles Named after its principal violinist Licco Amar, Paul Hindemith founded a quartet in 1922. On the occasion of his 100th birthday in 1995, the Hindemith Institute awarded the Zürich-based ensemble the historic name of the Amar Quartet, the members of which are Anna Brunner and Igor Keller (violins), Hannes Bärtschi (viola), and Péter Somodari (cello). During its studies with the Alban Berg Quartet, the Amar 8.572163 8.572164 8.573172 8.553851 Quartett won numerous international awards, followed by successful débuts at famous concert-halls, as well as invitations to teach in master-classes. The ensemble has shown passionate engagement with the work of Paul Hindemith, and is increasingly making a name for itself in Switzerland, with events such as Homage to Hindemith and Tonwort, combining music and literature, with readings by poets and other writers. 4 NEW ON NAXOS | JUNE 2015 Includes World Première Recordings 8.572729 Playing Time 66:30 7 47313 27297 6 © Daniela Rettore Nicola Guerini (b. 1953) Nicola Guerini studied piano, organ and organ composition, Boris PIGOVAT conducting and composition at the Cesare Pollini Conservatory in Padua and at the Giuseppe Verdi Conservatory in Milan.

Concerto No. 2, composed a decade later, is a darker, more dramatic and virtuosic work. The deeply-felt and dreamlike slow movement and passionate finale are tinged with bleak moments of somber agitation, suggestive of unfolding tragic events with the imminent introduction of the Fascist Racial Laws that led Castelnuovo-Tedesco to seek exile in the USA in 1939.

Paul Berkowitz Derek Katz Helen Callus, Committee Chair ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This research and writing would not have been possible without tremendous support and encouragement from several important people. Firstly, I must acknowledge the UCSB faculty members that comprise my committee: Helen Callus, Derek Katz, and Paul Berkowitz. All three have provided invaluable guidance, constructive feedback, and varied points of view to consider throughout the researching and writing process, and each of them has contributed significantly to my development as a musician-scholar. Beyond my committee members, I want to thank Carly Yartz, David Holmes, Tricia Taylor, and Patrick Chose. These various staff members of the UCSB Music Department have provided much needed assistance throughout my tenure as a graduate student in the department. Finally, I would like to dedicate this manuscript to my parents, David and Martha. They instilled a passion for music and an intellectual curiosity early and often in my life. They helped me see the connections in things all around me, encouraged me to work hard and probe deeper, and to examine how seemingly disparate things can relate to one another or share commonalities. It is thanks to them and their never-ending love and support that I have been able to accomplish what I have.

  • Programmheft 2009
    Kammermusikfestival Schloss Laudon Programm 2009 Ehrenschutz: Präsidentin des Nationalrates, Maga. Barbara Prammer Bürgermeister der Stadt Wien Dr. Michael Häupl Schloss Laudon Festival 2009 Die schwierigste Aufgabe bei der Beurteilung unbekannter Musik ist ihre Zuordnung: hört man tschechische, österreichische oder britische Musik? Wenn einmal die ›Zugehörigkeit‹ geklärt ist, kann man ein Werk besser einordnen. Eine tragische Auswirkung der Kulturpolitik Hitlers war nicht nur, dass sie viele europäische Komponisten ihrer Zuhörerschaft beraubte, sondern auch ihrer Zugehörigkeit. Sie verloren den natürlichen Dialog mit ›ihrem‹ Publikum, und das Publikum verlor das Recht auf ›seine‹ Komponisten. Komponisten, die nun fern der Heimat lebten, fanden sich plötzlich ›ohne Echo‹, wie Krenek in seinen Memoiren schrieb. Nach ihrer Heimkehr wurden sie nicht immer als zugehörig empfunden und nur in den seltensten Fällen akzeptierte sie das Publikum im Zufluchtsland als dort zugehörig. Bis heute wird die Musik von Emigranten nirgendwo reklamiert, sie ist aber gleichzeitig ein wichtiger Aspekt der Musikgeschichte des 20. Jahrhunderts. Musik österreichischer Komponisten in den Zufluchtsländern entwickelte sich anders als jene österreichischer Komponisten zu Hause, blieb jedoch unvermeidbar anders als die Musik in ihrem neuen Heimatland. Da die nationale Identität mit der Globalisierung an Bedeutung verliert, wird die Frage der Zugehörigkeit zugleich wichtiger und unwichtiger: unwichtiger, da wir alle sehen, dass wir gemeinsamen Werten anhängen, die nicht eindeutig deutsch, österreichisch, tschechisch, französisch oder britisch sind; aber doch wichtiger, da wir wissen wollen, welchen musikalischen Einflüssen der Komponist in seiner Kindheit ausgesetzt war – Musik, die eine unveränderliche kulturelle Identität schafft und vom Publikum als unveränderliches Eigentum empfunden wird. Wir werden einander zunehmend ähnlich, versuchen aber gleichzeitig Erfahrungen zu finden, die uns mehr voneinander unterscheiden.

In his own words Men and Music wasn’t “going to be a serious business. It will con- sist mainly of light hearted reminiscences about some important figures in 20th Century music, from which it will be possible to gain insight into their characters and personalities.” Many distinguished composers came to Glasgow in the 1930’s to give concerts of their works for the Active Society for the Propagation of Contemporary Music (a bit of a mouthful, known colloquially as The Active Society). The 18 composers he talks about are William Walton, Cyril Scott, Percy Grainger, Eugene Goosens, Bela Bartok, Donald Tovey, Florent Schmitt, John Ireland, Yvonne Arnaud, Frederick Lamond, Adolph Busch, Alfredo Casella, Arnold Bax, Paul Hindemith, Dmitri Shostakovich (Chisholm cheated here- Shostakovich didn’t actually appear but they were friends and the Active Society “played quite a lot of his music”), Kai- koshru Sorabji, Bernard van Dieren and Medtner.

M8/J S/0.3SZ PAUL HINDEMITH AND NEUE SACHLICHKEIT: ZEITOPER IN THE WEIMAR REPUBLIC DISSERTATION Presented to the Graduate Council of the University of North Texas in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS By Kristine Helene Kresge, B.M., M.M. Denton, Texas May, 1992 FOREWORD The vibrant cultural atmosphere of Berlin in the 1920s produced an unparalleled wealth of art, music and literature. As one of the leading young composers of his day, Paul Hindemith (1895-1963) was not immune to the trends and controversies surrounding him during his tenure as professor of composition at the Berlin Hochschule fur Musik. Opera as an art form was undergoing rapid changes. Aesthetic aims were being challenged and redefined. Along with Ernst Krenek and Kurt Weill, Hindemith was influenced by a new movement in the art world, Neue Sachlichkeit, which inexactly translated is "New Representationalism" or "New Objectivity." The term was first coined for an art exhibit in 1925 in Mannheim, and the results of the Neue Sachlichkeit philosophy are best seen in the works of the Bauhaus movement. This new aesthetic also exerted a direct influence upon the Zeitoper, which had its roots in the cabaret. Loosely defined as music theater which employs contemporary cultural references to music, politics, etc., Zeitoper as a genre was utilized by such diverse composers as Kurt Weill (Der Zar lasst sich photographieren [The Czar Gets His Picture TakenJ, 1928) and Ernst Krenek (Jonny spielt auf [Jonny strikes up], 1927).

  • Hindemith Das Marienleben (1923) “Vom Tode Mariä I”
    Sarah Wallin Paul Hindemith Das Marienleben (1923) “Vom Tode Mariä I” Hindemith – Background o Born November 16, 1895 in Hanau, Germany. o Began violin lessons with Eugen Reinhardt in 1902, and continued violin studies with Swiss violinist Anna Hegner in 1907. Then, in 1908, Anna Hegner left Frankfurt and arranged for Hindemith to study first privately with Adolf Rebner [her own teacher] and then from the winter semester onwards to continue with Rebner on a scholarship at the Hoch Konservatorium in Frankfurt,1 where he studied violin exclusively, at first. o “After numerous attempts to compose, Hindemith obtained grants and the support of wealthy Frankfurt families that enabled him to add composition study to his training at the Hoch Conservatory”.2 . Studied composition in 1912 with the compositionally conservative Arnold Mendelssohn (organist, and son of the cousin of Felix Mendelssohn), and with modernist Bernhard Sekles in 1913 after Mendelssohn had fallen ill. “Rather than following one particular compositional school, he adapted many varied influences, including the styles of Brahms, Dvořák, Tchaikovsky, Mahler and Reger.”3 o First violinist of Frankfurt Opera Orchestra in 1914, promoted to deputy leader the same year, then to leader in 1917. o Became second violinist with Rebner’s string quartet in 1915. o Called for military service in 1917, and joins his regiment in 1918. Plays bass drum with his assigned regimental band. Formed a string quartet and continued composing while in the army. o “At the end of the war Hindemith returned to the Frankfurt Opera as leader, and to the Rebner Quartet, but, at his own request, as a viola player rather than a violinist.”4 o June 1919, Hindemith organized a “composition evening” in Frankfurt, a concert consisting solely of Hindemith’s works.

Another orchestrated work is the Menuet antique, which is redolent of old French dance forms. Rapsodie espagnole, Ravel’s first major orchestral work, shimmers with expectancy and bursts into Spanish dance rhythms, themes he pursued in Pièce en forme de habanera. His earliest orchestral work, the ‘fairy overture’ Shéhérazade, is all that remains of a planned opera based on The Thousand and One Nights. The famous Boléro, an ‘orchestrated crescendo’ of undimmed power, has proved one of the most popular works in all classical music. Sales Points • This particular selection of Ravel’s orchestral music has no direct competitor. Boulez on Sony includes the Rapsodie and Menuet antique, whereas Maazel on CBS coupled the Rapsodie with Boléro. The classic Martinon EMI Ravel survey consists of 2 CD sets, and is rather old. Another point to note: this disc inaugurates Leonard Slatkin’s new relationship with the Orchestre National de Lyon, and they are on ‘home ground’ with this repertory.
