America's Finest Pianoforte • • • Jtasxm&lBmttlttt $1575 and upward The Mason & Hamlin Piano today is at the apex of its greatness In beauty of tone, clarity, and in power, it far excels other pianos indeed, it surpasses even its own previous models. Research and experimental work—a constant seeking for something beyond—have brought forth wonderful developments in tone and action. And never before was the mechanical work so fine, so precise, for the question of cost does not enter into the construction of Mason & Hamlin Pianos. The Mason &C Hamlin piano is made for those who appreciate, and who can afford, the very finest ! Lovingly, carefully, each instrument is brought to a finished masterpiece ; there is never a thought of haste nor hurry. Naturally but few can be given to the world each year and the cost must be necessarily higher. But, to the home or studio for- tunate enough to possess a Mason SC Hamlin Piano comes a prestige that no other instrument can bring. Once you have heard this supreme instrument—this long-sought voice of glorious tone—you will know why the true lover of music can never be happy with a piano less perfect.

Houston had been labeled a “whiskey and trombone” town—a montage of brassy frontierism and established gentility. Though Southern in its refinement, Houston was Western in its aggressiveness. Only years before, it had drawn the ocean fifty miles to its door, grabbing the torch of leadership from the once-strategic Galveston and creating for itself the nation’s third largest port.

  • On the Record: Interpreting Recorded Orchestral Excerpts for the Oboe, 1910 – 2016
    ON THE RECORD: INTERPRETING RECORDED ORCHESTRAL EXCERPTS FOR THE OBOE, 1910 – 2016 A Monograph Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board By Meghan Woodard In Partial Fulfillment of the ReQuirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS August 2017 Doctoral Advising Committee: Dr. Steven Zohn, Advisory Chair, Music Studies: Music History Dr. Matthew Brunner, Instrumental Studies Dr. Charles Abramovic, Keyboard Studies Dr. Cynthia Folio, Outside Reader, Music Studies Chair: Music Theory © Copyright 2017 by Meghan Woodard All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT This monograph analyzes recordings of three orchestral excerpts for the oboe made between 1910 – 2016 and studies trends in interpretation, showing how performance practice is continually evolving as musical tastes change. The chosen excerpts span several style periods from the early nineteenth century to the twentieth century. The first excerpt, the cadenza from the Allegro con brio movement of the Fifth Symphony by Beethoven, has been under-studied by oboists and musicologists and yet it plays a pivotal role in the first movement of this iconic piece. The second excerpt, the Adagio solo from the second movement of Brahms’s Violin Concerto, has much room for individual interpretation and soloistic freedom on the part of the both the oboe and violin soloists. Finally, recordings of the technically-challenging twentieth-century excerpt, the “Prélude” solo from le tombeau de Couperin by Ravel, show how standards of musical perfection have been raised overtime as a result of the recording industry. Preference is given to recordings from countries with strong traditions in oboe performance, such as the United States, England, Germany, and France.
