  • Pedagogical Literature for Violists: Selected Studies from Lillian Fuchs's 16 Fantasy Études and Corresponding Orchestral Excerpts

This dissertation proposes a post-graduate course to establish a comprehensive curriculum. The course utilizes two resources, Lillian Fuchs’s 16 Fantasy Études and common orchestral audition excerpts. The 16- week course will help students build their musicality and craftsmanship by studying selected études and standard viola audition repertoire. Each étude will address the technical and musical demands of its given excerpt, and the course will offer students suggestions as how to practice them. Aiming to foster future educators and professional orchestral violists, the author concentrates on the pedagogical and problem-solving aspects of audition preparation. iii APPROVAL PAGE The faculty listed below, appointed by the Dean of the Conservatory of Music have examined a thesis titled “Pedagogical Literature for Violists: Selected Studies from Lillian Fuchs’s 16 Fantasy Études and Corresponding Orchestral Excerpts,” presented by Yu-Fang Chen, candidate for the Doctor of Musical Arts degree, and certify that in their opinion it is worthy of acceptance.

  • And Progress to St Martin's Chamber Music Competition Final
    Competition Final: Tuesday 27 April, 7.30pm Thank you Iceland: Finalists Defy 'Act of God' and progress to St Martin's Chamber Music Competition Final The Piatti String Quartet, Greenwich Trio and Elixir Trio will perform in their bid to become the first ever winners of St Martin's Chamber Music Competition in partnership with Making Music. After making it through the preliminary and semi−final rounds, the three groups will compete for the coveted prize. Piatti String Quartet, stranded in France by the cloud of volcanic ash which wreaked havoc for travellers across Europe last week, drove through the night to a ferry from Dunkirk in order to make their scheduled semi−final last Tuesday 20 April. While those stranded were cursing Iceland's volcanic activity, The Greenwich Trio are newly converted fans of the volcano. As the reserve ensemble for the semi−final of the competition, they were called on Monday 19 April when it became clear that unfortunately, not all semi−finalists would make it back to London to perform, and were offered a place in the semi−final the next day. Their performance of excerpts from Beethoven's Archduke Piano Trio and Ravel Piano Trio in A minor impressed the panel with its vivacity, passion and technical brilliance. Paris based Elixir Trio according to one semi−final panellist, gave the "most extraordinarily moving and engaging" performance of the slow movement from Francaix's Piano Trio to secure their place in Tuesday's final. "We gave them extra points for the violinist's blue hair" joked another panellist, then hastening to add that actually, it was the groups musical performance which saw them succeed.

Figures and/or pictures may be missing from this format of the document. *** Abstract: Most numerous among the recordings of Bernard Greenhouse are those he made with the Beaux Arts Trio, the legendary ensemble of which he was the founding cellist in 1955 with pianist Menahem Pressler and violinist Daniel Guilet (later followed by violinist Isidore Cohen). With the Beaux Arts Trio, Greenhouse performed and recorded the entire standard piano trio repertoire before retiring from the group in 1987. However, Greenhouse’s career on the international chamber music stage represents only one dimension of his richly varied musical life. He was also a virtuoso cello soloist, a tireless musical collaborator, and the long-time cellist of New York’s Bach Aria Group. In order to demonstrate the breadth and depth of his recorded legacy, we have organized this discography in three sections: (1) Greenhouse As Soloist and Collaborator;
