    RACHMANINOFF’S RHAPSODY ON A THEME BY PAGANINI, OP. 43: ANALYSIS AND DISCOURSE Heejung Kang, B.A., M.M. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2004 APPROVED: Pamela Mia Paul, Major Professor and Program Coordinator Stephen Slottow, Minor Professor Josef Banowetz, Committee Member Steven Harlos, Interim Chair of Piano Jessie Eschbach, Chair of Keyboard Studies James Scott, Dean of the College of Music Sandra L. Terrill, Interim Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Kang, Heejung, Rachmaninoff’s Rhapsody on a Theme by Paganini, Op.43: Analysis and Discourse. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), May 2004, 169 pp., 40 examples, 5 figures, bibliography, 39 titles. This dissertation on Rachmaninoff’s Rhapsody on a Theme by Paganini, Op.43 is divided into four parts: 1) historical background and the state of the sources, 2) analysis, 3) semantic issues related to analysis (discourse), and 4) performance and analysis. The analytical study, which constitutes the main body of this research, demonstrates how Rachmaninoff organically produces the variations in relation to the theme, designs the large-scale tonal and formal organization, and unifies the theme and variations as a whole. The selected analytical approach is linear in orientation - that is, Schenkerian. In the course of the analysis, close attention is paid to motivic detail; the analytical chapter carefully examines how the tonal structure and motivic elements in the theme are transformed, repeated, concealed, and expanded throughout the variations. As documented by a study of the manuscripts, the analysis also facilitates insight into the genesis and structure of the Rhapsody.

  • Operetta After the Habsburg Empire by Ulrike Petersen a Dissertation
    Operetta after the Habsburg Empire by Ulrike Petersen A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Music in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in Charge: Professor Richard Taruskin, Chair Professor Mary Ann Smart Professor Elaine Tennant Spring 2013 © 2013 Ulrike Petersen All Rights Reserved Abstract Operetta after the Habsburg Empire by Ulrike Petersen Doctor of Philosophy in Music University of California, Berkeley Professor Richard Taruskin, Chair This thesis discusses the political, social, and cultural impact of operetta in Vienna after the collapse of the Habsburg Empire. As an alternative to the prevailing literature, which has approached this form of musical theater mostly through broad surveys and detailed studies of a handful of well‐known masterpieces, my dissertation presents a montage of loosely connected, previously unconsidered case studies. Each chapter examines one or two highly significant, but radically unfamiliar, moments in the history of operetta during Austria’s five successive political eras in the first half of the twentieth century. Exploring operetta’s importance for the image of Vienna, these vignettes aim to supply new glimpses not only of a seemingly obsolete art form but also of the urban and cultural life of which it was a part. My stories evolve around the following works: Der Millionenonkel (1913), Austria’s first feature‐length motion picture, a collage of the most successful stage roles of a celebrated

  • The Merry Widow
    the Merry widow SPARKLE AND SEDUCTION Renée Fleming stars in Susan Stroman’s sumptuous new production of Lehár’s The Merry Widow, a romance for grown-ups set against a glittering Belle Époque backdrop. By eric myers hen Franz Lehár’s The Merry Widow had its world premiere at Vienna’s Theater an der Wien on December 30, 1905, no one knew that it was ushering in the remarkable so-called “Silver Era” of Viennese oper- Wetta. Since the “Golden Era” of such 19th-century hits as Strauss’s The Gypsy Baron and Millöcker’s The Beggar Student, Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung had come to the fore, shaking up Europe’s attitudes toward sanity and sex. Vienna, newly clothed in the vines, tendrils, and flowing-haired maidens of Art Nouveau, had become a center of ideas and new artistic movements. There was no way that the popular young operetta composers of the day were going to remain unaffected. 46Renée | New Fleming Productio sings Nthes title role opposite Nathan Gunn.

  • Jay Harvey Upstage
    Jay Harvey Upstage Wednesday, September 5, 2018 The charm of the third time: IVCI preliminaries move toward their conclusion For me, the preliminary round of the International Violin Competition of Indianapolis ended Tuesday afternoon, though today there are nine more of the 38 participants to be heard. The jury's selection of 16 semifinalists is expected about 8 p.m. today. Like the rest of the public, I have the option to take advantage of live-streaming for the remaining prelim recitals. I might check out some of them, but of course there's no substitute for being there. That was driven home to me by the last recital of the day Sept. 4. The live-streaming experience can provide an excellent perspective on the participants, but I might have missed what stood out most Tuesday afternoon if I'd taken in remotely the prelim recital of Galiya Zharova of Kazakhstan. In the course of her performance, I almost put aside "large- picture" artistic considerations. They seemed to be well-served in any case by her exemplary bow control. And that's what I focused on. Her bow arm was beautiful to watch, note after note. I could have admired its steadiness and consistency for longer in another piece of music beyond the scheduled program. Maybe IVCI patrons will get to see for themselves in the semifinals. It took a while for it to dawn on me. In retrospect, the oft-heard Adagio from Bach's Sonata No. 1 in G minor presented an interpretation that only bowing under precise coordination could have managed: The melodic line was sustained and soaring, while the harmonic underpinning was never scanted in the slightest.

The Merry Widow The year is 1905 and the fate of the proud but impoverished Balkan principality of Pontevedro hangs perilously on the marriage plans of a rich, beautiful widow. If she weds a foreigner it could spell financial ruin for her homeland, therefore she must be coaxed into marrying a fellow Pontevedrian. The Merry Widow first delighted audiences as an operetta and has continued to do so as a ballet. Hungarian composer Franz Lehár’s The Merry Widow was first presented in Vienna in 1905. A musical feast, it aptly captures the contrasting national passions of the Balkan Pontevedrians and the elegant Parisians whose city is the backdrop for this story of love and intrigue.

  • Chapter 17: Romantic Spectacles: from Virtuosos to Grand Opera: 1800–1850
    Chapter 17: Romantic Spectacles: From Virtuosos to Grand Opera: 1800–1850 I. Romantic spectacles A. Introduction 1. Spectacle became an important means of drawing audiences to public concerts and operas. 2. French opera of the time became known as grand opéra because of its sensational musical and visual effects. 3. The size of audiences grew rapidly in the nineteenth century in response to new economic, demographic, and technological developments. II. The devil’s violinist: Niccolò Paganini A. Paganini was the first in a line of nineteenth-century virtuoso performers who toured European concert halls. B. His virtuoso playing set high standards, which were also demonstrated in his publications. C. While Schubert likened his playing to the song of an angel, most associated Paganini’s talent with a deal with the devil. 1. Legends grew around Paganini and sorcery. D. Paganini’s performance in Paris in 1831 inspired Liszt to become the “Paganini of the Piano.” E. Despite a short major performing career, Paganini’s impact was formidable. F. The technical demands of Paganini’s shorter works (particularly the caprices) caused them to be deemed “unplayable.” 1. Left-hand pizzicato, octaves, etc. III. “The Paganini of the Piano”: Franz Liszt A. Liszt was born in an area that mixed Hungarian and German culture. 1. He spoke German but at times styled himself as an exotic Hungarian. B. As a boy, he studied piano with Czerny (Beethoven’s pupil) and composition with Salieri. 1. He was acknowledged as a prodigy by Czerny. 2. He debuted in Paris in 1824 (he was born in 1811).

  • Comparing Musical Expression in Teresa Millanollo's “Grand
    1 Comparing Musical Expression in Teresa Millanollo’s “Grand Fantaisie Elegiaque” Opus 1 with Niccolo Paganini’s Compositions A Document proposal 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 Performance Studies Division of the College-Conservatory of Music Violin December 2020 by Jeeyoung Park B.M., Sookmyeong Women’s University, Korea 2013 M.M., University of Cincinnati, College-Conservatory of Music, 2016 Committee Chairs: Won-Bin Yim, D.M.A. 2 Abstract Teresa Milanollo (1827-1904) was an Italian violinist and composer. Milanollo was exceptionally talented enough to be on par with the demonic Niccolo Paganini. She rivaled Paganini, who was known to be the best virtuoso violinist of his time, both in artistic and financial success. She was a pioneer in the world of female violinists, but unfortunately despite her accomplishments and talent, she has been greatly forgotten today. I will discuss is "Grande Fantaisie Elegiaque” no.1 written in 1853 in memory of Maria who is her younger sister. There are many technical and musical similarities between Milanollo’s piece op.1 and Paganini’s works. These similarities were especially noticeable with his first violin concerto and 24 Caprices which are both arguably some of the most challenging pieces for violinists. Paganini and Milanollo pursued to extend their techniques and musical expressions in a way that most people did not do during this period in time. However, only Paganini’s compositions are performed today. This document will focus on comparing technical and musical similarities of Milanollo’s op.1 and Paganini’s works to prove the value of her music and to rediscover it.
