La Generazione Dell'ottanta and the Italian Sound
LA GENERAZIONE DELL’OTTANTA AND THE ITALIAN SOUND A DISSERTATION IN Trumpet Performance Presented to the Faculty of the University of Missouri-Kansas City in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS by ALBERTO RACANATI M.M., Western Illinois University, 2016 B.A., Conservatorio Piccinni, 2010 Kansas City, Missouri 2021 LA GENERAZIONE DELL’OTTANTA AND THE ITALIAN SOUND Alberto Racanati, Candidate for the Doctor of Musical Arts Degree University of Missouri-Kansas City, 2021 ABSTRACT . La Generazione dell’Ottanta (The Generation of the Eighties) is a generation of Italian composers born in the 1880s, all of whom reached their artistic maturity between the two World Wars and who made it a point to part ways musically from the preceding generations that were rooted in operatic music, especially in the Verismo tradition. The names commonly associated with the Generazione are Alfredo Casella (1883-1947), Gian Francesco Malipiero (1882-1973), Ildebrando Pizzetti (1880-1968), and Ottorino Respighi (1879- 1936). In their efforts to create a new music that sounded unmistakingly Italian and fueled by the musical nationalism rampant throughout Europe at the time, the four composers took inspiration from the pre-Romantic music of their country. Individually and collectively, they embarked on a journey to bring back what they considered the golden age of Italian music, with each one yielding a different result. iii Through the creation of artistic associations facilitated by the fascist government, the musicians from the Generazione established themselves on the international scene and were involved with performances of their works around the world. -

Emma Lou Diemer’s Solo Piano Works Through 2010: A Study of Pedagogy and Performance in the Context of 20th- and 21st-Century Music Making A document submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS in the Keyboard Studies Division of the College-Conservatory of Music By Kristal Bang Kim B.A., University of California, Los Angeles, 2000 M.M., San Francisco Conservatory of Music, 2003 Committee Chair: Jeongwon Joe, Ph.D. Readers: Elizabeth Pridonoff, MM Michael Chertock, MM ABSTRACT The document presents a comprehensive survey of the solo piano works by an eminent contemporary woman composer Emma Lou Diemer, who is still alive and active as a musician of various roles, such as a composer, teacher, performer, and church musician. By keying into her representative solo piano works including her most recent output, the document’s primary goal is to guide performers and piano teachers for understanding and playing the composer’s piano works. Selected pedagogical and concert works will be given detailed analysis such as comparisons of styles, structures, and sonorities. In light of her collective output for piano literature, the significance of the composer’s contribution to the 20th- and 21st-Century music making, especially for the history of piano literature, is examined, in the context of current musical culture and trend. ii Copyright © 2012 Kristal Bang Kim iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I am greatly thankful for all the inspiration and guidance that I have received in seeing and actualizing of this document. -

After refusing to pay homage to the Austrian emperor, Tell was arrested and the emperor deemed that William and his son Walter be executed.

La Nuova Musica (1896-1919)
La Nuova Musica (1896-1919) The music periodical La Nuova musica [NMU] was first published on 31 January 1896 by its founder, the pianist and composer Edgardo Del Valle de Paz (1861- 1920), a professor of piano at the Istituto Musicale in Florence, who directed and administered the journal without interruption until its final issue. NMU was published monthly from 1896 to 1907, fortnightly from 1908 to 1910, bimonthly during 1911 and fortnightly from 1912 to its cessation. Throughout the publication pages measuring 34 x 25 cm. are printed in three column format and are numbered beginning with number 1 for successive years. La Nuova musica documents Florentine music history and bridges a gap existing in Italian music periodical literature since 1882, when the earlier Florentine periodical Boccherini (1862-1882) ceased publication. The aim of the periodical is to diffuse by print the most notable music, to raise the musical level of the public by making it aware of the most excellent works of our masters, to give our young composers an opportunity to publicize in print their first compositions, [and] to express openly their opinions. Each issue of NMU contains two sections: testo, features articles about music events and music criticism, and constitutes the main six or eight page section of the periodical; and, musica, a supplement of eight pages consisting of two or three compositions for piano or for voice and piano. This two-fold structure is suspended beginning with the first issue of 1909. The first pages of each issue are generally reserved for a critical essay concerning contemporary topics, followed by an article of historical interest. -

Ihm folgte Giuseppe Martucci, Sohn eines Trompeters und Kapellmeisters und ebenfalls als Pianist (von Liszt und Anton Rubinstein bewundert), Dirigent und Komponist eine herausragende, noch weit markantere und schöpferisch fruchtbarere Persönlichkeit. Der Dirigent Martucci setzte in Italien nicht nur Richard Wagners Musik durch (italienische Erstaufführung von Tristan und Isolde am 2. Juni 1888 im Teatro Comunale zu Bologna), sondern setzte sich auch nachdrücklich für Johannes Brahms, Carl Goldmark (1830-1915), Richard Strauss, Edouard Lalo (1823-92), Claude Debussy, Arthur Sullivan (1842-1900), Charles Villiers Stanford (1852-1924) u. a. ein. Siebenjährig trat Martucci erstmals öffentlich als Pianist auf, mit elf Jahren begann er sein Studium am Conservatorio di San Pietro a Majella zu Neapel, wo der Mercadante-Schüler Paolo Serrao (1830-1907) sein Kompositionslehrer war. -

A Comprehensive Guitar Series
Bridges TM A Comprehensive Guitar Series “This new edition, in my opinion, is very close to being THE definitive word on classical guitar instruction – period.” Patrick Kearney, international concert artist and professor of classical guitar at Vanier College and Concordia University Bridges TM Introduction Bridges™ is the fourth edition of the renowned Guitar Series, originally published in 1989 to international acclaim. This edition aims to provide students with a clear, well-paced route for their musical development; to nurture the technique necessary to successfully meet those developmental challenges; and to expose students to the full range of the instrument’s repertoire. The chosen repertoire and studies at any given level fall within a carefully sequenced range of technical and musical difficulty. From the late elementary to early advanced levels students can be assured that their learning path will be well rounded and complete. Some of the most notable features of Bridges™ are: the inclusion of guitar masterpieces by such beloved guitar composers as Agustín Barrios, Heitor Villa-Lobos, and Leo Brouwer minimal fingering suggestions, leaving teachers more flexibility and a clearer score from which to work a balance of style choices for repertoire and studies in all levels The well-rounded guitarist will have an understanding of the instrument’s history as well as practical experience with a wide range of repertoire from all historical periods and styles. Guided by this principle, the series editors have drawn on more than 500 years’ worth of guitar and lute music. Each book features compositions from the Renaissance to the present day; by learning music from each style period, students will gain a comprehensive overview of the evolution of musical styles.
