Wood-wind instruments and 'cellos pizz. introduce a motive is called the Ship, at first that in solo flute, then in the oboe, lastly in the clarinet. A reminiscence of the Sea motive is heard from the horn between the phrases, and a solo 'cello continues the Wave motive, which in one form or another persists almost throughout the whole movement. The Scheherazade motive soon enters (solo violin). There is a long period that at last re-establishes the chief tonality, E major, and the Sea motive is sounded by full orchestra. The develop- ment is easy to follow. There is an avoidance of contrapuntal use of thematic material. The style of Rimsky-Korsakoff in this suite is homophonous, not polyphonic. He prefers to produce his effects by melodic, harmonic, rhythmic transformations and by most ingenious and highly colored orchestration. The movement ends tranquilly. II. The Story of the Kalandar*-Prince. The second movement opens with a recitative-like passage, Lento, B minor, 4-4. A solo violin accompanied by the harp gives out the Scheherazade motive, with a different cadenza. There is a change to a species of scherzo movement, Andantino, 3-8. The bassoon begins the wondrous tale, capriccioso quasi recitando, accompanied by the * The Kalandarwas in reality a mendicant monk. The three in the tale of "The Porter and the Three Ladies of Bagdad" entered with beards and heads and eyebrows shaven, and all three, by fate, were blind of the left eye. According to d'Herbelot the Kalandar is not generally approved by Moslems: "He labors to win free from every form and observance." The adventurous three, however, were sons of kings, who in despair or for safety chose the garb. D'Herbelot quotes Saadi as accusing Kalandars of being addicted to gluttony: "They will not leave the table so long as they can breathe, so long as there is anything on the table. There are two among men who should never be without anxiety: a merchant whose vessel is lost, a rich heir who falls into the hands of Kalandars." %z One-Price-Piano~House\ Main Entrance, Hoppin Homestead Building.

The accompaniment has the bagpipe drone. The oboe then takes up the melody, then the strings with quickened pace, and at last the wind instruments, un poco piu animate The chief motive of the first movement is heard in the basses. A trombone sounds a fanfare, which is answered by the trumpet; the first fundamental theme is heard, and an Allegro molto follows, derived from the preceding fanfare, and leads to an orientally colored intermezzo. "There are curious episodes in which all the strings repeat the same chord over and over again in rapid succession,—very like the responses of a congregation in church,—as an accompaniment to the Scheherazade motive, now in the clarinet, now in the bassoon." The last interruption leads to a return of the Kalandar's tale, con moto, 3-8, which is developed, with a few inter- ruptions from the Scheherazade motive.

    Synopsis Prologue Mythical times. At night in the mountains, the three Norns, daughters of Erda, weave the rope of destiny. They tell how Wotan ordered the World Ash Tree, from which his spear was once cut, to be felled and its wood piled around Valhalla. The burning of the pyre will mark the end of the old order. Suddenly, the rope breaks. Their wisdom ended, the Norns descend into the earth. Dawn breaks on the Valkyries’ rock, and Siegfried and Brünnhilde emerge. Having cast protective spells on Siegfried, Brünnhilde sends him into the world to do heroic deeds. As a pledge of his love, Siegfried gives her the ring that he took from the dragon Fafner, and she offers her horse, Grane, in return. Siegfried sets off on his travels. Act I In the hall of the Gibichungs on the banks of the Rhine, Hagen advises his half- siblings, Gunther and Gutrune, to strengthen their rule through marriage. He suggests Brünnhilde as Gunther’s bride and Siegfried as Gutrune’s husband. Since only the strongest hero can pass through the fire on Brünnhilde’s rock, Hagen proposes a plan: A potion will make Siegfried forget Brünnhilde and fall in love with Gutrune. To win her, he will claim Brünnhilde for Gunther. When Siegfried’s horn is heard from the river, Hagen calls him ashore. Gutrune offers him the potion. Siegfried drinks and immediately confesses his love for her.Ð When Gunther describes the perils of winning his chosen bride, Siegfried offers to use the Tarnhelm to transform himself into Gunther.

  • Musical Landmarks in New York
    MUSICAL LANDMARKS IN NEW YORK By CESAR SAERCHINGER HE great war has stopped, or at least interrupted, the annual exodus of American music students and pilgrims to the shrines T of the muse. What years of agitation on the part of America- first boosters—agitation to keep our students at home and to earn recognition for our great cities as real centers of musical culture—have not succeeded in doing, this world catastrophe has brought about at a stroke, giving an extreme illustration of the proverb concerning the ill wind. Thus New York, for in- stance, has become a great musical center—one might even say the musical center of the world—for a majority of the world's greatest artists and teachers. Even a goodly proportion of its most eminent composers are gathered within its confines. Amer- ica as a whole has correspondingly advanced in rank among musical nations. Never before has native art received such serious attention. Our opera houses produce works by Americans as a matter of course; our concert artists find it popular to in- clude American compositions on their programs; our publishing houses publish new works by Americans as well as by foreigners who before the war would not have thought of choosing an Amer- ican publisher. In a word, America has taken the lead in mu- sical activity. What, then, is lacking? That we are going to retain this supremacy now that peace has come is not likely. But may we not look forward at least to taking our place beside the other great nations of the world, instead of relapsing into the status of a colony paying tribute to the mother country? Can not New York and Boston and Chicago become capitals in the empire of art instead of mere outposts? I am afraid that many of our students and musicians, for four years compelled to "make the best of it" in New York, are already looking eastward, preparing to set sail for Europe, in search of knowledge, inspiration and— atmosphere.

  • The Interest of These Performances Lies First and Foremost
    The interest of these performances lies first and foremost - not to mention finally and most importantly- in the tempos: in the way they are chosen, establi shed, and shrewdly modified by Fiedler in the course of performances which so interestingly live, move and have their being. There are other points of interest. The nature of the use of string portamentos: in the case of Fiedler and the Berlin Philharmonic, the selective and highly discriminating use of it. But it is tempo which is of paramount interest ... Richard Osborne, Gramophone, November 2000 (excetpt) Producer's Note Max Fiedler (1859 - 1939) is one of only two conductors with a direct link to Brahms to have recorded hi s works; the other is Felix Weingartner. Yet, as Christopher D yment pointed out in a pair of articl es published in Classical Record Collector a decade ago (Summer and Autumn, 2002), it would be an overstatement to call him a protCgC of the composer. Fiedler knew Brahms personally, and likely heard him conduct on a few occasions; however, it was as a follower of Hans von Bulow that Fiedler learned what he believed to be the authentic Brahms style, a highly subjective, rhythmically free approach that was at odds with the more restrained Classicism of Fritz Steinbach, who provided a model for the young Weingartner. Nevertheless, by early in the last century, Fiedler had earned the reputation in Germany as a Brahms specialist, and it was in that capacity that he made his only commercial records for Grammophon/ Polydor, all of which are presented here.
