Boston Symphony Orchestra Concert Programs, Season 45,1925-1926, Trip CARNEGIE HALL . NEW YORK Thursday Evening, November 26, at 8.30 Saturday Afternoon, November 28, at 2.30 PRoGRHftttE — V\ "... Your piano is admirable and it is 'with my warmestgreetings that I nvish you the great success <which your instrument deserves. When CHALIAPIN sings, the piano is always a Baldwin. The greatest operatic genius of this genera- tion finds in Baldwin tone the perfect background for his magnificent art. As on the concert stage, so in his homes in New York and in Paris — Chaliapin uses the Baldwin. That loveliness and purity of tone which appeals to Chaliapin as well as to every exacting musician is found in all Baldwins; alike in the Concert Grand, in the smaller Grands, and in the Uprights. The history of the Baldwin is the history of an ideal. latftorin CINCINNATI CHICAGO NEW YORK INDIANAPOLIS ST.

MASON & HAMLIN PIANOFORTE There will be an intermission before the symphony The music of these programmes is available at the 58th Street Library 5 ; Concerto, G major, No. 3 (of the Brandenburg Set) for three violins, three violas, three violoncellos, with bass Johann Sebastian Bach (Born at Eisenach, March 21, 1685; died at Leipsic, July 28, 1750) This composition is the third of the six Brandenburg concertos. Completed March 24, 1721, they were written in answer to the wish of a Prussian prince, Christian Ludwig, Margraf of Brandenburg, the youngest son of the Great Elector by a second wife. The prince was provost of the Cathedral at Halberstadt. He was a bachelor, living now at Berlin and now on his estate at Malchow. Fond of music, and not in an idle way, he was extravagant in his tastes and mode of life, and often went beyond his income of nearly fifty thousand thalers. He met Bach—some say at Carlsbad—in 1718 or 1720, and asked him to write some pieces for his private orchestra, which con- tained players of high reputation. Bach sent the pieces entitled "Concerts avec Plusieurs Instru- ments" to Berlin, with a dedication in French. This dedication was probably written by some courtier at Cothen, where Bach was then living. Nothing is known about the reception, nor is it known whether they were ever played at the palace of the prince. It was his habit to catalogue his music; but the name of Bach is not found in the list, although the names of Vivaldi, Venturini, Valentiri, Brescianello, and other writers of concertos, were recorded. Spitta thinks that the pieces were probably included in miscellaneous lots, as "77 con- certos by different masters and for various instruments at 4 ggr (altogether 12 thlr, 20 ggr)"; or "100 concertos by different masters ^Iiiiiic3iiiiiiiiiificaiiiiiiiiiiiicaiiiiiiiiiiiic3iiiiiiiiiiiic3iiiiiiiiiiiic3iiiiiiiiiiiic3iiiiiiiiifiicaiiiiiiiiiiiic3iiiiiiiiiiiicaiiiiiiiiiiiicaiiiiiiiiiiiic2iiiiiiii^ | In the Columbia Fine -Art Series | 1 of Musical Master Works j | there is presented in record form for the first time in this country a definite g « programme of the great works of the master composers, recorded authentically 5 | and without the usual cuts.

Abstract The article provides an overview of descriptions of total solar eclipses in different literature forms, rites and toponyms of Slavs. It is shown that the solar eclipse had a prominent role in the worldview of the tribes. Explanations of some terms of Slavic outlook are given with suggestions for the correct terminology. A program for further investigation in Slavic and other people’s culture is proposed. Keywords: Total solar eclipse; Archeoastronomy; Mythology; Slavs; Character 'Akhet' (Figure 2) should be translated as 'eclipse' instead of Akhet; Myth of creation of the world; Myth of end of the world; 'horizon'. Then the next well-known text obtains a simple explanation.

Scott, Dean of the College of Music Sandra L. Terrell, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Liu, Louise Jiayin, Sergei Taneyev (1856-1915): An Analysis of His Piano Concerto in E- flat Major and Its Relationship to Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No.1. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), May 2007, 38 pp., 25 examples, bibliography, 26 titles. This lecture recital seeks to prove that Sergei Taneyev’s only piano concerto is a valuable addition to the piano concerto repertoire for historical and theoretical examination. Taneyev’s biographical background proves he was one of the major figures in Russian musical life during the late nineteenth century. For one who had such an important role in music history, it is an unfortunate that his music has not been popular. Through letters to contemporary composers and friends, Taneyev’s master teacher Tchaikovsky revealed why his music and piano concerto were not as popular as they should have been. This lecture recital examines Taneyev’s compositional style and illustrates his influence in the works of his famous student Sergei Rachmaninoff through examples from Taneyev’s Piano Concerto in E-flat Major and Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No.

  • The Development of the Russian Piano Concerto in the Nineteenth Century Jeremy Paul Norris Doctor of Philosophy Department of Mu
    The Development of the Russian Piano Concerto in the Nineteenth Century Jeremy Paul Norris Doctor of Philosophy Department of Music 1988 December The Development of the Russian Piano Concerto in the Nineteenth Century Jeremy Paul Norris The Russian piano concerto could not have had more inauspicious beginnings. Unlike the symphonic poem (and, indirectly, the symphony) - genres for which Glinka, the so-called 'Father of Russian Music', provided an invaluable model: 'Well? It's all in "Kamarinskaya", just as the whole oak is in the acorn' to quote Tchaikovsky - the Russian piano concerto had no such indigenous prototype. All that existed to inspire would-be concerto composers were a handful of inferior pot- pourris and variations for piano and orchestra and a negligible concerto by Villoing dating from the 1830s. Rubinstein's five con- certos certainly offered something more substantial, as Tchaikovsky acknowledged in his First Concerto, but by this time the century was approaching its final quarter. This absence of a prototype is reflected in all aspects of Russian concerto composition. Most Russian concertos lean perceptibly on the stylistic features of Western European composers and several can be justly accused of plagiarism. Furthermore, Russian composers faced formidable problems concerning the structural organization of their concertos, a factor which contributed to the inability of several, including Balakirev and Taneyev, to complete their works. Even Tchaikovsky encountered difficulties which he was not always able to overcome. The most successful Russian piano concertos of the nineteenth century, Tchaikovsky's No.1 in B flat minor, Rimsky-Korsakov's Concerto in C sharp minor and Balakirev's Concerto in E flat, returned ii to indigenous sources of inspiration: Russian folk song and Russian orthodox chant.

Today there are thirteen different Slavic groups divided into three blocs, Eastern, Southern and Western. These include the Russians, Poles, Czechs, Ukrainians, Byelorussians, Serbians,Croatians, Macedonians, Slovenians, Bulgarians, Kashubians, Albanians and Slovakians. Although the Lithuanians, Estonians and Latvians are of Baltic tribes, we are including some of their customs as they are similar to those of their Slavic neighbors.

In recognition of this season of change, Passport‘s features this month are connected with a “makeover” theme. For example, our October Russian Star is master of makeover Alexander Glushkov, founder and CEO of Mone, Moscow’s biggest chain of beauty salons (page 34). Of course, since any mention of aesthetic alteration immediately reminds the Moscow resident of the changes happening in the city itself, our October issue provides a number of articles about Moscow’s own makeover. Olga Slobodkina von-Bromssen’s art history column explores the work of Moscow artist Alexei Aizenman (page 16), whose cityscapes preserve Moscow’s face in oils; James Brooke talks to architect Frank Williams (page 18), whose design for the Mercury City skyscraper will change the capital’s skyline forever; and Isabelle Hale digs into the foundations of Park Huaming, a Chinese twist on Moscow’s building boom (page 38).

  • TCHAIKOVSKY Piano Concertos Nos
    TCHAIKOVSKY Piano Concertos Nos. 1 and 3 Andante and Finale, Op. 79 Bernd Glemser Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra Antoni Wit Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky (1840 - 1893) Piano Concerto No. 1,Op. 23 Piano Concerto No. 3, Op. 75 Andante & Finale, Op. 79 "Tolstoy says : "Tchaikovsky is dead," - and two huge tears (for everything is larger than life with hi...), rolled down his great cheeks" (Marie Scheikevitch). To the writer Vasily Yastrebtsev (1899), Tchaikovskv was a man of his time: "When Mussorgsky and ~ar~omizhsk~were forging anextreme naturalism and a genre that wasnot always artistic - whenBorodin was submerging himself in a a re historic epoch ... when &sky-~orsakov ... has been drawn inro $s own personal, clearly individual, pagan, fairy-tale ... and when Cui ... flies off into a Scotland that is alien to us - Tchaikovsky has been filled totally with the spirit of his age, and with all the highly strung fervour of his deeply sensitive and impressionable nature ... has 'depicted us ourselves alone', with our unresolved doubts, our sorrow and our joys". The Bfit minor Coi~certowas completed in 1874-75 (November - 9th February): pianistically, however, the bravura form we know it in today (incorporating improvements in all probability suggested by Edward Dannreuther and Alexander Siloti) was consolidated only by the third edition of 1888-89. "Worthless" and "unplayable" was the reaction of Nikolay Rubinstein, influential Director of the Moscow Conservatory: "It appeared ... that passages were trite, awkward, and so clumsy that it was impossible to put them right, that as composition it was bad and tawdry, that I had filched this bit from here and that bit from there, that there were only two or three pages that could be retained, and that the rest would have to be scrapped or completely revised.

WHEN the present volume was originally planned it was intended to contain- an account of Russian folk-, . lore in general-of the stories, legends. riddles. pro- verbs, and epic as well as lyric poems, which oral tradition has preserved among the Russian peasantry. But I soon found that the subject was one which, if treated at all in detail, would require more time and space than I had expected. So I thought it best to restrict myself for the present to a part of it only. leaving the rest to be described afterwards. In this first instalment of the work, therefore, I have dealt chiefly, though not exclusively, with the lyric poetry of the peasantry; the next will be mainly devoted to their Popular Tales and their Metrical Romances. In order to render intelligible the songs I have quoted, it has been necessary to give some slight account of the religious ideas attributed to the ancien t vi PREFACE. Slavonians and the superstitions current among their descendants, 8S well as of some of the manners and customs of the Russian peasantry, especially with regard to marriages and fWllwals. But my book can make no pretence to any thing like a satisfactory grappling with the difficult problems-mythological, ethnological, philological, historical-suggested by the study of Slavonic antiquities.
