Roger Sametz
Press Quotes Ives Concord Symphony & Copland Organ Symphony Recording Released February 8, 2011 “To listen to "A Concord Symphony" - Charles Ives' pathbreaking "Concord" Sonata, brilliantly orchestrated by the late Henry Brant - is to feel an exhilarating sense of discovery and dramatic vigor, an explosive dynamism that emanates from all the participants. Ives' music, first of all, retains its distinctive combination of pugnacious bluster and sentimental lyricism in this new guise, while adding a layer of world-embracing ambition that is unique to the symphonic tradition. Brant's orchestral palette is never less than ingenious, but there's a sense of Promethean struggle audible in his efforts that fits perfectly with Ives' late-Romantic mind-set. Finally, Thomas and the orchestra, recorded live in Davies Symphony Hall, convey every bit of the score's boisterous vitality in a performance of magnificent virtuosity - it's a landmark achievement. Copland's Organ Symphony, with soloist Paul Jacobs, also gets a majestic reading. ” -Joshua Kosman, San Francisco Chronicle “There is no finer conductor of Ives or Copland today than Michael Tilson Thomas, and it's so fulfilling to see him doing what he does best on the San Francisco Symphony's own label… Davies Symphony Hall has a spectacular organ that's very well captured by the engineers. Paul Jacobs plays beautifully; his instrument "fits" into the general sonic framework very naturally, while Thomas and the orchestra play as if to the manner born. A great disc.” - David Hurwitz, Classics Today.com Regarding Copland’s Organ Symphony: “…Paul Jacobs faultlessly exploits this fine score. -

Handel' S Organ Concerto S Reconsidered
Handel' s Organ ConcertoConcertos s Reconsidered By NIELS KARL NIELSEN Due to the solid foundatiansfoundations provided by the research carried out by Chrysan der, W. Dean, O. E. Deutsch, J. P. Larsen, W. C. Smith and others the study of Randel'sHandel's works has been rendered much easier to-day than it was a mere twenty years ago; this, however, does not mean that all the problems have been solved. On the contrary, many still await exhaustive treatment. Whereas a vast number of books have been written ab out Randel'sHandel's vocal compositions, and the Oratorios in particular, a detailed study of his Organ Concertos, based on the autograph scores and other contemporary sources has not yet been made. Ehrlinger's dissertation 1 contains many valuable observa tions; nevertheless its importance is reduced considerably by the faetfact that he did not incorporate the original sources in his research. Accordingly, in the present study I intend to remedy this gap in our knowl edge of RandelHandel and his work, by discussing problems such as-date of composi tion-sources-original versions-style afof performance, and last but not least, the inevitable question of Randel'sHandel's borrowings. Some of these problems have of course been dealt with before, but I still find it worthwhile to try and collate as much information as possibiepossible about these aspects of Randel'sHandel's wark.work. RandelHandel embarked upon his concertos for organ and orchestra in dose con nection with his efforts to introduce the oratorio as a parallel to the produetionproduction of operas which had dominated his work in London up to the beginning of the 1730's. -

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. -
Introduction
INTRODUCTION The present volume contains Carl Philipp Emanuel revision of the body of work that had accrued up to that Bach’s first two published sets of keyboard sonatas: the time.2 For the publication of his two keyboard cycles, Bach six “Prussian” (Wq 48) and six “Württemberg” (Wq 49) chose engravers and printers from Nuremberg: Balthasar Sonatas. The exact date of publication for each collection Schmid for Wq 48, and Johann Wilhelm Windter/Johann is not entirely clear. NV 1790 gives 1743 for the first set Ulrich Haffner for Wq 49. The connection with Nurem- and 1745 for the second, while the Autobiography gives 1742 berg, for which Bach’s father likely served as the catalyst, and 1744, respectively. Advertisements in the Nuremberg lasted well into the 1760s.3 newspaper Friedens- und Kriegs-Currier might have pro- The source situation of the “Prussian” and “Württem- vided some clarification, but no mention has been found berg” Sonatas may be described as quite favorable: both of the Wq 48 print in any of the 1742 issues, and no issues exist in authorized prints. After their publication Bach from 1743 or 1744 appear to be extant. An advertisement most likely destroyed or gave away the original autographs, for the Wq 49 set does show up in 1745, but this is proba- as he would do with later prints. Some autograph sketch bly not for the first printing. A composition date for each material exists for Wq 49/3 (see appendix), and some em- of the twelve sonatas is given in NV 1790; for Wq 48 the bellishments and varied reprises exist for Wq 49/6 (see dates range from 1740 to 1742, and for Wq 49 from 1742 source A), but no other source has survived that can be to 1744. -

The Pedagogical Legacy of Johann Nepomuk Hummel
ABSTRACT Title of Document: THE PEDAGOGICAL LEGACY OF JOHANN NEPOMUK HUMMEL. Jarl Olaf Hulbert, Doctor of Philosophy, 2006 Directed By: Professor Shelley G. Davis School of Music, Division of Musicology & Ethnomusicology Johann Nepomuk Hummel (1778-1837), a student of Mozart and Haydn, and colleague of Beethoven, made a spectacular ascent from child-prodigy to pianist- superstar. A composer with considerable output, he garnered enormous recognition as piano virtuoso and teacher. Acclaimed for his dazzling, beautifully clean, and elegant legato playing, his superb pedagogical skills made him a much sought after and highly paid teacher. This dissertation examines Hummel’s eminent role as piano pedagogue reassessing his legacy. Furthering previous research (e.g. Karl Benyovszky, Marion Barnum, Joel Sachs) with newly consulted archival material, this study focuses on the impact of Hummel on his students. Part One deals with Hummel’s biography and his seminal piano treatise, Ausführliche theoretisch-practische Anweisung zum Piano- Forte-Spiel, vom ersten Elementar-Unterrichte an, bis zur vollkommensten Ausbildung, 1828 (published in German, English, French, and Italian). Part Two discusses Hummel, the pedagogue; the impact on his star-students, notably Adolph Henselt, Ferdinand Hiller, and Sigismond Thalberg; his influence on musicians such as Chopin and Mendelssohn; and the spreading of his method throughout Europe and the US. Part Three deals with the precipitous decline of Hummel’s reputation, particularly after severe attacks by Robert Schumann. His recent resurgence as a musician of note is exemplified in a case study of the changes in the appreciation of the Septet in D Minor, one of Hummel’s most celebrated compositions. -
