  • Review Essay Haydn Recordings in the Bicentennial Year
    Review Essay Haydn Recordings in the Bicentennial Year SYLVIA BERRY N ANTICIPATION OF THE 200TH anniversary of the death of Franz Joseph Haydn (1732-1809), a number of early keyboard specialists embarked upon Icomplete recordings of Haydn’s keyboard works, all but one of which was released before the Haydn Year 2009. These recordings include not only the complete solo keyboard works, but also the complete keyboard trios — a wonderful and often neglected facet of Haydn’s keyboard output. In a real marriage of performance and scholarship, every keyboard work Haydn wrote (including some contemporary arrangements of works by Haydn in other genres) has now been committed to disc on a stunning variety of instruments. Thus, in 2009, we can finally hear Haydn’s keyboard music performed on a veritable constellation of clavichords, harpsichords, and fortepianos, reflecting the wealth of keyboard instruments available to Haydn during his life-long career as a composer of keyboard music. Previous to this recent crop of recordings, there were very few interpretations on disc of Haydn’s works on the harpsichord, and only a small number of recordings by a handful of fortepianists of a variety of programs, very few of which included the early works. Expanding on the fortepiano interpretations of the standard programs by Malcolm Bilson and Paul Badura-Skoda, we now have four complete sets of Haydn’s keyboard sonatas, two complete sets of the miscellaneous or non-sonata works (henceforth called Klavierstücke), a number of readings of assorted Klavierstücke, and a complete set of the keyboard trios. Taken together, these sets employ twenty-one instruments, of which a number are antiques.

  • 3 Piano Quartets Woo36
    Beethoven 3 Piano Quartets WoO36 Van Swieten Society Ludwig van Beethoven 1770-1827 A Calling Card of Genius 3 Piano Quartets WoO36 In 1785 Mozart unleashed a veritable mania in the musical salons of Europe with his first piano quartet in G minor. There can be no doubt that this quartet inspired Piano Quartet in C No.3 Beethoven to also write quartets for the unconventional instrumentation of piano trio 1. I. Allegro vivace 6’46 with an added viola. 2. II. Adagio con espressione 5’25 In 1779 Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827) began taking composition lessons 3. III. Rondo: Allegro 3’37 with Neefe, organist at the court of Elector Maximilian in Bonn. From 1781 onwards he became Neefe’s organ assistant and already in 1783 emerged the first three piano Piano Quartet in E flat No.1 sonatas. They became known as the ‘Kurfürsten Sonates’, dedicated as they were to 4. I. Adagio assai 8’01 the Elector Maximilian, who ensured the creation of a beautiful edition. 5. II. Allegro con spirito 5’27 Like every musician in Europe Beethoven was well acquainted with Mozart’s 6. III. Theme and variations: compositional works and was a great admirer of them. He performed Mozart’s piano Cantabile 9’58 concertos with the court orchestra in Bonn and later played viola in performances of Mozart’s operas. As the musicologist Lewis Lockwood puts it: “Just as Mozart Piano Quartet in D No.2 had once told his father that he was ‘soaked in music’, so Beethoven was soaked in 7.

I am especially proud to host this singular event celebrating the fortepiano and its repertoire because our music department has built a strong tradition around the synthesis of historic keyboard performance and scholarship. Through the exceptional talent and leadership of Malcolm Bilson, his students, and music faculty colleagues, Cornell continues to have a major influence on today’s interpretation of early music. Over the next several days, we will experience many different aspects of fortepiano musicianship. We can look forward to the excitement of the competition and the pleasure of learning more about this influential instrument and the music written for it.

  • 2015 Summer Festivals Guide  Musicalamerica.Com • March 2015 Off-The- Garde Works—Often World Premieres
    FestivalsA 2015 Summer Guide Ten Off-the- Beaten-Path Festivals (Lesser Known but Worth the Trip) March 2015 Editor’s Note With our annual Special Report on Festivals, we continue a Musical America tradition dating back at least 50 years—perhaps longer—of reporting on the year’s upcoming festivals. It would be interesting to compare our reporting from those days with this report; many of the mature destinations—Tanglewood, Aspen, Marlboro—are still very much alive and kicking, changing with the tides but true to their core missions. Perhaps that’s because so many of the longstanding festivals double as institutes for summer study, where students learn from the pros (and vice versa) and have the opportunity to perform with them. Certainly the three mentioned above are geared that way; others, such as Festival d’Aix-en-Provence, are a teaching institute by day and a professional presenter by night. The Lucerne Festival also mixes generations and levels of accomplishment. Either way, the festival atmosphere, often accompanied by warm temperatures and cloudless skies, is much more relaxed than that of the concert hall, and the Big Name artist is far more approachable on the tennis court than in the green room. In most cases, the festivals listed in the Guide section have budgets of $1 million or more. (There are more than 1,500 in the Musical America database, so we needed a cut-off point.) But lest we miss something special in the process, Aestivals 2015 Summer Guide we called on our trusty U.S. and international contributors to find “off-the-beaten-path” festivals whose names might not be so familiar.

It is the 250th anniversary of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Wolfgang Mozart was born in 1756 in Salzburg, Austria. His musical talents revealed themselves at a tender age. Well before his teens father Leopold took him and his likewise gifted older sister Nannerl on several tours through Europe. Soon he became a widely known and admired child prodigy of an unsurpassed class of his own. Already at eight years old his first music was being published. It was the beginning of an astonishing career. The sheer amount of music he wrote is, with hindsight, incredible and of high quality. Amadeus must have written very fast to manage composing the over 600 works he left to posterity. His manuscripts hardly contain any deletions. Mozart’s versatility is impressive too. He wrote anything from simple canons for keyboard to large-scale symphonies and operas on a great variety of librettos.

She was the author of the only symphony composed by a woman during the Classical period, and she also wrote a number of other am- bitious vocal and instrumental works. Musical accounts written in her own time testify to her high level of activity and to the quality of her compositions, but after her death she was almost completely forgotten. Marianne and her sister held regular music salons at their house, visited by Mozart and Haydn, among others.
