I Puritani a Londra: Rassegna Stampa (Maggio - Ottobre 1835) Alice Bellini - Daniela Macchione*
i, 2015 issn 2283-8716 I Puritani a Londra: rassegna stampa (maggio - ottobre 1835) Alice Bellini - Daniela Macchione* Si pubblica qui di seguito una raccolta di recensioni relative alla prima stagione dei Puritani1 di Vincenzo Bellini al King’s Theatre di Londra (21 maggio-15 agosto 1835). Le fonti utilizzate comprendono un’ampia varietà di periodici, senza tuttavia alcuna pretesa di completezza. I due omaggi alla memoria di Bellini aggiunti alla fine della rassegna, espressione di due differenti correnti critiche, sono stati scelti tra i vari articoli pubblicati a Londra alla notizia della morte del compositore; essi riassumono i primi sei anni di presenza belliniana sulle scene inglesi e illustrano la controversa recezione critica dell’opera italiana a Londra. I documenti sono presentati in ordine alfabetico per testata e cronologico per data di pubblicazione. L’ordine cronologico qui adottato ha il vantaggio di mettere in evidenza la particolarità delle somiglianze tra articoli pubblicati in diverse testate, dovute plausibilmente soprattutto all’autoimprestito, una pratica comune nella pubblicistica musicale londinese del tempo, così spiegata da Leanne Langley: Music journalists were obliged to be neither thorough nor objective; literary recycling and self-borrowing (often without acknowledgment) were common practices; most London music journalists, then as now, were freelancers working for more than one periodical, often anonymously and perhaps shading the tone and content of their writing to suit a given journal’s market profile; -
TOCC 0285 Dayas Organ Booklet Copy
WILLIAM HUMPHREYS DAYAS, ONE OF LISZT’S LAST PUPILS by Jan Lehtola William Humphreys Dayas (1863–1903) was one of the last stars of the Franz Liszt piano school. In music for the organ, he is a forgotten member of the circle which included Liszt and Reubke. His two organ sonatas, especially the Second, take their place in a series beginning with Liszt’s Fantasy and Fugue on the chorale ‘Ad nos, ad salutarem undam’ (1850) and Reubke’s Sonata Der 94ste Psalm (1857). Dayas lef published copies of his organ sonatas to Richard Faltin (1835–1918), organist of what was then St Nicholas’s Church (now Helsinki Cathedral), which is how they came to be in the Sibelius Academy Library, where I discovered them in 1997. Written in ink in the score are some minor amendments probably made by Dayas himself. I came across Dayas’ transcription of the Tème varié (originally for piano), by Arthur H. Bird – another long-forgotten composer – entirely accidentally in the British Library in London in 2013. Very few people are familiar with Dayas’ organ sonatas. In the early years of the twentieth century they featured in the repertoire of such Finnish organists as Faltin and Karl Sjöblom (1861–1939), but as far as I know, I am the only organist to have performed these peices since his own day. Wherever I have done so – at the Gewandhaus in Leipzig, St Tomas in Dresden and the Riga Dom, for example – they have met with astonishment and excitement, frstly because they are totally unfamiliar and secondly because they are so good. -

The Mountain Sylph: a Forgotten Exemplar of English Romantic Opera
The Mountain Sylph: A Forgotten Exemplar of English Romantic Opera Rodney Stenning Edgecombe The Opera Quarterly, Volume 18, Number 1, Winter 2002, pp. 26-39 (Article) Published by Oxford University Press For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/25463 [ This content has been declared free to read by the pubisher during the COVID-19 pandemic. ] The Mountain Sylph: A Forgotten Exemplar of English Romantic Opera rodney stenning edgecombe hree years after his second cousin, Giacomo Meyerbeer, brought Robert le Tdiable to the stage in 1831 (at the same time launching the career of the bal- lerina Marie Taglioni through its spectral ballet), the English composer John Barnett mounted his opera The Mountain Sylph at the Lyceum Theatre in Lon- don. The libretto, by one T. J. Thackeray, was even more closely connected with Taglioni than Barnett was with Meyerbeer, because it versified the plot of La sylphide (1832), the scenario of which tenor Adolphe Nourrit, the first Robert, had devised especially for his balletic costar. Although in his New Grove article on Barnett, Nicholas Temperley remarks that Thackeray’s libretto derived “from German folklore,” this is only partly true.1 Nourrit had loosely based La sylphide on a story by Charles Nodier, Trilby, ou Le lutin d’Argail (a Franco-Celtic enter- prise, therefore), swapping the genders of the protagonists (a goblin and a fisherman’s wife in Nodier; a sprite and a farmer in the ballet). More impor- tant, Nourrit reconceived the supernatural figure in terms derived from the Swiss physician Paracelsus and drew on the latter’s secondary mythology of the sylph (which probably portmanteaus “nymph” with “sylvestris”) instead of the primary figures of fairies or nymphs. -

Stuttgart Philharmonic, Georg Schmöhe. CPO 999392-2. Tr 4- 6. 25:16 The 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall is on November 9th, 2009. Inspired by this historic event, the American composer Gloria Coates (who has lived in Germany for years) dedicated her seventh symphony “to those who brought down the Wall in PEACE.” Salomon Jadassohn was an eminent composer, pianist, conductor, and teacher in Germany. Although he died in 1902, his works were banned by anti-Semitic followers of Wagner in the 1930s. Fortunately, his music (ironically influenced by Richard Wagner) is beginning to be heard once again. Jadassohn attended the Leipzig Conservatory shortly after its founding by Felix Mendelssohn and eventually taught piano and composition there. He had studied piano with Ignaz Moscheles and Franz Liszt, and among his influences in composition were Liszt and Wagner. He was a well-respected teacher who produced manuals on harmony, counterpoint, and orchestration that were used for years. Grieg, Delius, and one of last month’s composers on Discoveries, George Chadwick, all studied with him. His many works, including this inventive second concerto, are wonderful examples of the Romantic idiom. -

TOCCATA CLASSICS Salomon JADASSOHN Piano Trios No. 1 in F major, Op. 16 No. 2 in E major, Op. 20 No. 3 in C minor, Op. 59 Syrius Trio FIRST RECORDINGS SALOMON JADASSOHN: Piano Trios Nos. 1–3 by Malcolm MacDonald Salomon Jadassohn’s name is moderately familiar to musicologists, but only because he was an important teacher, many of whose students went on to make a considerable reputation for themselves: the roll-call includes Albéniz, Alfano, Bortkiewicz, Busoni, Chadwick, Čiurlionis, Delius, Fibich, Grieg, Kajanus, Karg-Elert, Reznicek, Georg Schumann, Sinding and Weingartner. Until recently Jadassohn’s own music has been virtually ignored, but it is beginning to emerge from the shadows. "e three piano trios on this disc are not among the most important essays in the genre to emerge from nineteenth-century Germany, but they are full of highly enjoyable music, written to give pleasure, while being economically constructed with considerable skill and ingenuity. Jadassohn was born into a Jewish family in Breslau, the capital of the Prussian province of Silesia (now Wrocław in Poland), on 13 August 1831 and enrolled in the Leipzig Conservatorium in 1848, where his composition teachers were Moritz Hauptmann, Ernst Richter and Julius Rietz. He studied piano, moreover, with Beethoven’s friend and protégé Ignaz Moscheles. From 1849 to 1851, by contrast, and to the disquiet of some of his teachers, Jadassohn also became a private pupil of Franz Liszt in Weimar. He spent most of his subsequent career teaching in Leipzig. As a Jew, he was unable to apply for any of the Leipzig church-music posts that were open to other graduates from the Conservatory; instead, he worked for a synagogue and supported himself otherwise mainly as a teacher of piano. -
George Whitefield Chadwick List of Works
George Whitefield Chadwick 13 November 1854 - 4 April 1931 List of Works Very important in cataloguing Chadwick's works was and is Steven Ledbetter. He did important biographical surveys and numbered Chadwick's works in chronological and sort order. Some works have opus numbers put in brackets after the name. These are the numbers given either by Chadwick or the publishers. It is hard to find any more information about Chadwick, so he and his works still leave me with a lot of questions, but nonetheless, I think he deserves a little space here.
