Acclaimed the pianist of pianists, beloved by an ever-growing public, Bachaus has played the Baldwin exclusively for twelve years, in his home and on all his American tours. That loveliness and purity of tone which appeals to Bachaus and to every exacting musician is found in all Baldwins; alike in the Concert Grand, in the smaller Grands, in the Uprights.

Joseph Haydn (Born at Ro-hrau, Lower Austria, March 31, 1732; died at Vienna, May 31, 1809) Haydn wrote a set of six symphonies for a society in Paris known #s the "Concert de la Loge Olynipique." They were ordered in 1784, when Haydn was living at Esterhaz. Composed in the course of the years 1784-89, they are in C, G minor, E-flat, B-flat, D, A. No. 1, in C, has been entitled "The Bear"; No. 2, in G minor, has been entitled "The Hen"; and No. 4, in B-flat, is known as "The Queen of France." The symphony played at this concert is the first of a second set, of which five were composed in 1787, 1788, 1790. If the sixth was written, it cannot now be identified. This one in G major was written in 1787, and is "Letter V" in the catalogue of the Lon- don Philharmonic Society, No. 13 in the edition of Breitkopf & Hilrtel, No. 8 in that of Peters, No. 29 in that of Sieber, No. 58 in the list of copied scores of Haydn's symphonies in the library of the Paris Conservatory of Music. — around their treatment revolves the fashionable mode in COATS!

Igor Fedorovitch Stravinsky (Born at Oranienbaum, near Leningrad, on June 5, 1882; now living) The ballet "PStrouchka : Scenes burlesques en 4 Tableaux," scenario by Alexandre Benois, was completed by Stravinsky at Home in May (13-26), 1911. It was produced at the Chatelet, Paris, on June 13, 1911. The chief dancers were Mme. Tamar Karsavina, La Ballerine; Mjinski, P6trouchka; Orloff, Le Maure; Cecchetto, the old Charlatan; Mme. Baranowitch, First Nurse. Mr. Monteux conducted; Mr. Fokine was the ballet-master. The scenery and costumes were designed by Benois; the scenery was painted by Anisfeld; the costumes were made by Caffi and Worobieff. The management was G. Astruc and Company, organized by Serge de Diaghilev. "This ballet depicts the life of the lower classes in Russia, with all its dissoluteness, barbarity, tragedy, and misery. P£trouchka is a sort of Polichinello, a poor hero always suffering from the cruelty of the police and every kind of wrong and unjust persecu- tion. This represents symbolically the whole tragedy in the ex- istence of the Kussian people, a suffering from despotism and in- justice. The scene is laid in the midst of the Russian carnival, and MASTERWORKS "A ^cordLibrary of the World's GreatMusic" With the October issue of Masterworks sets the Columbia Masterworks Series once more takes on added dignity and import- ance in America's musical life. The works recorded are of the best of Mozart, Beethoven, Tschaikowsky and Dukas. All are recorded by the famous Columbia Viva-tonal (Electric) Process. The works are complete except for an occasional conventional repeat. All con- sisting of five parts or more are enclosed in attractive record albums.

  • Inconstant Tonality in Debussy's La
    INCONSTANT TONALITY IN DEBUSSY‘S LA MER by DAVID JONATHAN MARCUS (Under the Direction of Adrian Childs) ABSTRACT: This study is an original harmonic and tonal analysis of Debussy‘s orchestral masterpiece La mer: trois esquisses symphoniques. Based on Debussy‘s praise of freedom and critique of ―overprecise forms,‖ the author undertakes to explain harmony and tonicity in the music afresh, thoroughly adjusting traditional concepts of tonality. He shows that Debussy‘s harmonic originality lies close to the musical surface, and analytical reductions, particularly to familiar tonal objects, tend to conceal its harmonic methods.These methods include the use of whole-step/half-step scales as harmonic regions, the use of maximally intersecting scales for smooth modulation, and the use of invariant pitch classes as organizing agents over long spans of musical time. The auther then replaces the old concept of harmonic function, conceived as a consistent hierarchy centered on tonic and dominant, with a constantly evolving presentation of tonicity. The final portion of the study considers the metaphorical fit of all these techniques for La mer‘s oceanic imagery. KEYWORDS: Debussy, La mer, scale theory, parsimony, post-tonal tonicity, pitch-class invariance INCONSTANT TONALITY IN DEBUSSY‘S LA MER by DAVID JONATHAN MARCUS B.A., University of California, Berkeley, 1983 M.A., Georgetown University, 1991 M.M., Georgia State University, 1996 A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Georgia in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements
