The strongest impressions of the concert season are linked with Baldwintone, exquisitely exploited by pianists eminent in their art. Schnitzer, Pugno, Scharwenka, Bachaus — De Pachmann! More than chance attracts the finely-gifted amateur to this keyboard. Among people who love good music, who have a culti- vated knowledge of it, and who seek the best medium for producing it, the Baldwin is chief. In such an atmosphere it is as happily "at home" as are the Preludes of Chopin, the Liszt Rhapsodies upon a virtuosos programme. THE BOOK OF THE BALDWIN free upon request. INELLENBURG & CO, Market and 11th Streets Symphony in F minor, No. 4, Op. 36 Peter Tschaikowsky (Born at Votkinsk, in the government of Viatka, Russia, May 7, 1840; died at St. Petersburg, November 6, 1893.) Tschaikowsky composed this symphony in 1877-78 and lost interest in an opera, "Othello," for which a libretto at his own wish had been drafted by Stassoff. The first draft was finished in May, 1877.' He began the instrumentation on August 23 of that year, and finished the first movement September 24. He began work again toward the end of November. The Andantino was finished on December 27, the Scherzo on January 1, 1878, and the Finale on January 7, 1878. The first performance was at a -symphony concert of the Russian Musical Society, Moscow, February 22, 1878. Nicholas Rubinstein conducted. The first performance in the United States was at a concert of the Symphony Society at the Metropolitan Opera House, New York, Feb- ruary 1, 1890, Mr. Walter Damrosch conductor. The dedication of this symphony is as follows: "A mon meilleur ami" ("To my best friend"), and thereby hangs a tale. This best friend was the widow Nadejda Filaretovna von Meek. Her maiden name was Frolowsky, and she was born in the village Snamensk, government of Smolensk, February 10, 1831. She married in 1848 an engineer, and for some years she knew poverty. Her courage did not give way; she was a helpmeet for her husband, who finally became famous and successful. In 1876 her husband died, and she was left with eleven children and a fortune of "many millions of rubles." She dwelt at Moscow. Fond of music, she admired beyond measure certain works by Tschaikowsky, and she inquired curiously concern- ing his character as a man and about his worldly circumstances. She ERA SCHOOL (ITALIAN METHOD) (CARL SCHNE1DE q (Pupil of Luigi Vannuccini, Florence, Italy.)

There was an interchange of letters. In the early summer of 1877 she learned that he was in debt, and she sent him three thousand rubles; and in the fall of the same year she determined to give him yearly the sum of six thousand rubles, that he might compose free from pecuniary care and vexation. She insisted that they should never meet. They never spoke together ; but their letters to each other were frequent and intimate. Tschaikowsky poured out his soul to this woman, who is described by his brother Modest as proud and energetic, with deep- rooted principles, with the independence of a man; a woman that held in disdain all that is petty and conventional, but was pure in thought and action; a woman that was compassionate, but not sentimental. * * * The symphony is scored for piccolo, two flutes, two oboes, two clari- nets, two bassoons, four horns, two trumpets, three trombones, bass tuba, a set of three kettledrums, bass drum, cymbals, triangle, strings. The first movement begins with a short introduction, Andante sos- tenuto, F minor, 3-4, with the Fate theme. This phrase is answered by wood-wind and trumpets against harmonies in horns, trombones, bassoons, tuba. The main body of the movement, Moderato con anima (in movimento di valse), F minor, 9-8, begins with the expo- sition of the first theme with melody in first violins and 'cellos. The development is in the wood-wind against an accompaniment of strings. The whole development is long and elaborate. There is a change, Moderato assai, quasi andante. A clarinet phrase is answered by de- scending chromatic scale-passages in the wood-wind and rising and * Joseph Kotek, violinist, teacher, and composer for violin, was born at Kamenez-Podolks, in the govern- ment of Moscow, October 25, 1855. He died at Davos, January 4, 1885. He studied at the Moscow Con- servatory and afterward with Joachim. In 1882 he was appointed a teacher at the Royal High School fori Music, Berlin. As a violinist, he was accurate, skilful, unemotional. Tschaikowsky was deeply attached to| him. t In December, 1890, Nadejda wrote Peter that on account of the complicated state of her business affairs! she could not continue the allowance. Furthermore, she treated him with curious indifference, so that Tschai-| kowsky mourned the loss of the friend rather than of the pension. He never recovered from the wound. Nadejda von Meek died on January 25, 1894. [yperion School of M 1505 ARCH STREET BRANCH, 57 EAST PENN STREET, GERMANTOWN A School that teaches Music as an Art.

  • Dennis Brain Discography
    DENNIS BRAIN ON RECORD A Comprehensive Discography Compiled by Robert L. Marshall Fourth Edition, 2011 FOREWORD This is the fourth, and no doubt final, revision of the “Comprehensive Inventory by Composer” section from my book, Dennis Brain on Record: A Comprehensive Discography of his Solo, Chamber and Orchestral Recordings, originally published in 1996, with a foreword by Gunther Schuller (Newton, Mass: Margun Music, Inc.). Most of the additions and corrections contained in the present list were brought to my attention by Dr. Stephen J. Gamble who, over the course of the past fifteen years, has generously shared his discographical findings with me. Although many of these newly listed items also appear in the discography section of the recently published volume Dennis Brain: A Life in Music, co-authored by Dr. Gamble and William C. Lynch (University of North Texas Press), it seemed useful nonetheless to make an updated, integral version of the “comprehensive” inventory available as well. There is one significant exception to the claim of “comprehensiveness” in the present compilation; namely, no attempt has been made here to update the information relating to Dennis Brain’s film studio activities. All the entries in that regard included here were already listed in the original publication of this discography. The total number of entries itemized here stands at 1,791. In the original volume it was 1,632. All the newly added items are marked in the first column with an asterisk after the composer’s name. (It will be interesting to see whether any further releases are still forthcoming.) The entries themselves have been updated in other respects as well.

A. ELLIS PUBLISHED BY C. A. ELLIS, MANAGER 1541 : : Vladimir De Pachmann The Greatest Pianist Of the 20th Century ON TOUR IN THE UNITED STATES SEASON: 1911-1912 For generations the appearance of new stars on the musical firmament has been announced — then they came with a temporary glitter — soon to fade and to be forgotten. De Pachmann has outlived them all. With each return he won additional resplendence and to-day he is acknowl- edged by the truly artistic public to be the greatest exponent of the piano of the twentieth century. As Arthur Symons, the eminent British critic, says "Pachmann is the Verlaine or Whistler of the Pianoforte the greatest player of the piano now living." Pachmann, as before, uses the BALDWIN PIANO for the expression of his magic art, the instrument of which he himself says " .... It cries when I feel like crying, it sings joyfully when I feel like singing. It responds — like a human being — to every mood. I love the Baldwin Piano." Every lover of the highest type of piano music will, of course, go to hear Pachmann — to revel in the beauty of his music and to marvel at it. It is the beautiful tone quality, the voice which is music itself, and the wonderfully responsive action of the Baldwin Piano, by which Pachmann 's miraculous hands reveal to you the thrill, the terror and the ecstasy of a beauty which you had never dreamed was hidden in sounds.
