Classical forms are here no longer normative; they Survey of the Life of a Creative Artist From Toch’s Early Works: The duo Divertimentos, Op. 37, and the Cello Sonata, have become the subject of the composition. Violin Sonata No. 1, Op. 21 Op. 50 , were written in 1927 and 1929, during what was Toch headed the central movements of both works This is Spectrum Concerts Berlin’s third recording of probably Toch’s most productive period. In them, he “intermezzo”, but they are anything but short intermezzos chamber music by Ernst Toch. Its musicians give concerts The First Violin Sonata, which Toch’s friends used to refer engaged in a creative dialogue with his artistic milieu in or interludes. Toch employs the term in the late above all in Berlin and New York and are passionate to as “Brahms’s Fourth”, was a product of this two ways: in the music itself and in the dedications of the Brahmsian sense, as a deliberate understatement, about exploring and highlighting the cultural links between understanding of tradition. Two reasons lie behind its pieces. The Cello Sonata he dedicated to Emanuel indicating a particular limitation of the musical material. -

Jascha Nemtsov• “The Scandal Was Perfect”
Jascha Nemtsov “The Scandal Was Perfect” Jewish Music in the Works of European Composers Well into the 19th century, Jewish music went largely unnoticed in Euro- pean culture or was treated dismissively. Russian composers wrote the first chapter of musical Judaica. At the start of the 20th century, a Jewish national school of music was established in Russia; this school later in- fluenced the work of many composers in Western Europe. Since the Holocaust, Jewish music is understood less as folk music, it has become a political and moral symbol. The parties of the Hasidim where they merrily discourse on talmudic problems. If the entertainment runs down or if some- one does not take part, they make up for it by singing. Melodies are invented... a wonder-rabbi... suddenly laid his face on his arms, which were resting on the table, and remained in that position for three hours while everyone was silent. When he awoke he wept and sang an entirely new, gay, military march. Franz Kafka, 29 November 19111 What particularly impressed Kafka at a gathering of a Hasidic community at their rabbi’s home is typical for traditional Judaism: Religion and music are so tightly intertwined that reading and praying are conducted only in song. The first Hebrew grammar, De accentibus et orthographia linguae Hebraicae, by the Stuttgart humanist Johannes Reuchlin (1455–1522), was published in Alsatian Ha- genau in 1518. Reuchlin focused on the Hebrew Bible and included as well the motifs – Biblical cantillations – with which it was chanted by the European (Ashkenazi) Jews. This marked the first appearance of these motifs outside the Jewish community as well as the first time that they were transcribed into European musical notation.2 Music that had hitherto fulfilled only a ritual purpose thus became the subject of aca- demic discourse. -

Both concepts—of the Jewish music and the general culture—require clarification. As for the latter issue, the author means the culture represented by the multinational audience of the leading concert halls and the readers of the high-volume Prague press, who for various reasons after 1918 became intensely interested in Jewish music, earlier cultivated mainly (though not only) within the diaspora. It cannot be assumed that the participants of the general music culture were exclusively members of non-Jewish audience; nevertheless, the meaning of the presence of Jewish music in this culture can be reduced to the mechanism of cultural exchange between Jewish and non-Jewish society, analogous to the one identified by Philip Bohlman, who described the career of Jewish music in the neighboring centers: Vienna and Budapest.1 Bohlman focused on these currents and genres of music that represent Jewish ethnos as the aim of his work was to enter the title issue into the modern discourse. The topic of his book is the connection between the expansion of Jewish music and the migration of rural Jews from Eastern Europe to modern Western metropolises. -

I Treball Fi de grau La Nova Escola Jueva Una renaixença cultural Estudiant: Isaac Bachs Viñuela Especialitat/ Àmbit/Modalitat: Interpretació CiC- Violí Director/a: Miguel Simarro Grande Curs: 2016-2017 Vistiplau del director/a del Treball EXTRACTE TRILÍNGÜE The present work aims to explain the elements that led to the birth of a jewish cultural renaissance in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, as well as its development and subsequent influence on key composers of western music, such as Shostakovich and Prokofiev. Thereby, this work is widely documented from a printed bibliography of renowned jewish musicologists, such as Israel Adler and Abraham Idelssohn, as well as works made from the point of view of the performer, such as those made by pianists Jascha Nemtsov and Alexander Tentser, among others. Thanks to this work, I have found out that the New Jewish School was a stylistic embryo that later crystallized into the works of Shostakovich and Prokofiev, among others, and that, on the other hand, its members and repertoire have gone through an undeserved oblivion. El presente trabajo quiere explicar los factores que propiciaron el nacimiento de un renacer cultural judío a finales de siglo XIX y principios del XX, así como su desarrollo i la incidencia posterior en los compositores cruciales de la música occidental, como son Shostakovich i Prokofiev. Para ello, este trabajo está documentado ampliamente a partir de bibliografía impresa de musicólogos judíos especializados de gran nombre, como son Israel Adler y Abraham Idelssohn, así como de trabajos hechos desde la perspectiva del intérprete, como son los realizados por los pianistas Jascha Nemtsov y Alexander Tentser, entre otros. -

Twentieth-Century Composers
ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: TWENTIETH -CENTURY COMPOSERS INSPIRED BY JEWISH CULTURE: SELECTIONS FROM THE SOLO AND COLLABORATIVE PIANO REPERTOIRE Susan M. Slingland, Doctor of Musical Arts, 2006 Dissertation directed by: Professor Rita Sloan School of Music Throughout the twentieth -century, many composers of both Jewish and non-Jewish descent found inspiration in the heritage of the Jewish people. The rise of nationalism and increased study of folk melodies and rhythms led to the exploration of the riches of Jewish music. The musicological premise of nationalism in music is that every nation has a unique history and therefore must have its own individualistic musical tradition. Due to the Diaspora, Jewish folksongs come in many diffe rent flavors but still convey the basic communal expression of their common struggle for existence, religion and culture. This is musical nationalism in the broadest possible sense. The dispersion of the Jewish people is reflected in the wide range of cu ltures into which they were assimilated: Slavic Eastern Europe, the Middle East (in particular, Israel), as well as the sephardic tradition of the Mediterranean regions and, of course, the melting pot of America. The composers featured in this performance dissertation project reflect that diversity. In many cases, composers drew upon the exoticism of Jewish music and re -interpreted it to pay homage to their own rich culture or to highlight the tragic history of the Jewish people in the first half of the tw entieth -century. The works considered for this topic are influenced by both sacred and secular melodies. These selections all include piano, whether it be art song, chamber music or solo repertoire. -
