JUDD, Assistant Manager 205 "CHE INSTRUMENT OF THE IMMORTALS QOMETIMES people who want a Steinway think it economi- cal to buy a cheaper piano in the beginning and wait for a Steinway. Usually this is because they do not realize with what ease Franz Liszt at his Steinway and convenience a Steinway can be bought. This is evidenced by the great number of people who come to exchange some other piano in partial payment for a Steinway, and say: "If I had only known about your terms I would have had a Steinway long ago!" You may purchase a new Steinway piano with a cash deposit of 10%, and the bal- ance will be extended over a period of two years. Prices: $875 and up. Convenient terms. Used pianos taken in exchange. 5' HI N VV A' Y & S'l ) NS STEil N VV K Y S IALL ; 109 EAST 14th STREET NEW YORK Subway Express Stations at the Door REPRESENTED BY THE FOREMOST DEALERS EVERYWHERE 206 lostosa Symplhoinr Foity-second Season, 1922-1923 PIERRE MONTEUX, Conductor \k Violins.

That is a reason for choosing a PIANO And there is a reason for its great renown enduring now for nearly a Hundred Years: ITS EXQUISITE TONE-which De Pachmannn compared to the loveliest of human voices. ITS AMAZING DURABILITY—there are Chickering pianos much over half a century old still delighting with their musical beauty. THE EXQUISTE GRACE OF THEIR DESIGN the smallgrands are models ofper- fection in this important branch ofpiano making. It is not a coincidence that in the finest homes you find the Chickering— but because its owner, accustomed to the best, demands the best. The Chickering is obtainable with the AMPICO —that marvelous instrument which brings to the piano containing it all the music you love best —ideally played.

This symphony was first performed at Meiningen, October 25, 1885, under the direction of the composer. Simrock, the publisher, is said to have paid Brahms forty thousand marks for the work. It was played at a public rehearsal of the Sym- phony Orchestra in Boston, November 26, 1886. Although Mr. Gericke "did not stop the orchestra,"—to quote from a review of the concert the next day,—he was not satisfied with the performance. Schumann's Symphony in B-flat was substituted for the concert of November 27; there were further rehearsals. The work was played for the first time at a concert of the Boston Symphony Orchestra on December 23, 1886. The first performance in the United States was by the Symphony Society, New York, December 11, 1886. This symphony was composed in the summers of 1884 and 1885 at Miirzzuschlag in Styria. The Allegro and Andante were composed during the first summer, the Scherzo and Finale during the last. Miss Florence May, in her Life of Brahms, tells us that the manuscript was nearly destroyed in 1885: "Returning one afternoon from a walk, he [Brahms] found that the house in which he lodged had caught fire, MEDIUM DIFFICULTY ARTHUR FOOTE From Rest Harrow. 5 Compositions .... $0.75 G.

  • The Spectator and Dialogues of Power in Early Soviet Theater By
    Directed Culture: The Spectator and Dialogues of Power in Early Soviet Theater By Howard Douglas Allen A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Victoria E. Bonnell, Chair Professor Ann Swidler Professor Yuri Slezkine Fall 2013 Abstract Directed Culture: The Spectator and Dialogues of Power in Early Soviet Theater by Howard Douglas Allen Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology University of California, Berkeley Professor Victoria E. Bonnell, Chair The theater played an essential role in the making of the Soviet system. Its sociological interest not only lies in how it reflected contemporary society and politics: the theater was an integral part of society and politics. As a preeminent institution in the social and cultural life of Moscow, the theater was central to transforming public consciousness from the time of 1905 Revolution. The analysis of a selected set of theatrical premieres from the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917 to the end of Cultural Revolution in 1932 examines the values, beliefs, and attitudes that defined Soviet culture and the revolutionary ethos. The stage contributed to creating, reproducing, and transforming the institutions of Soviet power by bearing on contemporary experience. The power of the dramatic theater issued from artistic conventions, the emotional impact of theatrical productions, and the extensive intertextuality between theatrical performances, the press, propaganda, politics, and social life. Reception studies of the theatrical premieres address the complex issue of the spectator’s experience of meaning—and his role in the construction of meaning.

A fine idea, that the rule of labour involves the subjugation of land labour! The first of these traits is the conviction, held by all the people, that the land rightfully belongs to them. History they don't teach you in school! They then arrive unavoidably at the conclusion that because thought, theory, and science, at least in our times, are in the possession of very few, these few ought to be the leaders of social life, not only the initiators, but also the leaders of all popular movements. This is the reason brigandage is an important historical phenomenon in Russia; the first rebels, the first revolutionists in Russia, Pugachev and Stenka Razin, were brigands For this it must exercise massive military power. In this sense the propaganda of the International, energetically and widely diffused during the last two years, has been of great value. Jun 29, Jurnalis Palsu rated it liked it. Available to everyone will be a general scientific education, especially the learning of the scientific method, the habit of correct thinking, the ability to generalize from facts and make more or less correct deductions.

However, for the names of artists, we have combined two methods. For their names according to the Library of Congress system even when more conventional English versions exist: e.g. , Aleksandr Rodchenko, not Alexander Rodchenko; Aleksandr Deineka, not Alexander Deineka; Vasilii Kandinsky, not Wassily Kandinsky. Surnames with an “-ii” ending are rendered with an ending of “-y.” But in the case of artists who emigrated to the West, we have used the spelling that the artist adopted or that has gained common usage. Soft signs are not used in artists’ names but are retained elsewhere. TABLE OF CONTENTS 7 - ‘A Glimpse of Tomorrow’: Konstantin Vialov and the Search for a Modern Realism” by Alla Rosenfeld, Ph.

    JAMES GLEESON INTERVIEWS: ELIZABETH VASSILIEFF on DANILA VASSILIEFF 8 & 15 November 1979 JAMES GLEESON: Elizabeth, we‖ve got a great deal to talk about. ELIZABETH VASSILIEFF: Indeed. JAMES GLEESON: When I look at the vast amount of work of Danila‖s. But I thought we might take as a single unit first of all, the group of sculptures that we‖ve got in the collection, and start off with the first one chronologically. That‖s one called the Hanged man. ELIZABETH VASSILIEFF: Yes. JAMES GLEESON: Now, that was made from Lilydale rock. ELIZABETH VASSILIEFF: Marble. JAMES GLEESON: Or marble. It was exhibited in an exhibition at the Tye‖s Gallery, April 5th to the 22nd 1949. ELIZABETH VASSILIEFF: Good. JAMES GLEESON: So it was done prior to that exhibition. ELIZABETH VASSILIEFF: Yes. JAMES GLEESON: You showed me some photographs of Danila working in the quarry. ELIZABETH VASSILIEFF: Indeed. Well, he wasn‖t doing his carving in the quarry. JAMES GLEESON: No. ELIZABETH VASSILIEFF: He was doing his selecting. JAMES GLEESON: Yes. Tell me about Lilydale rock. You told me that it had certain qualities; that it was very hard but very brittle. ELIZABETH VASSILIEFF: Well, there are limestone beds at Lilydale millions of years old, fossil remains of corals and shellfish and tilted up to their present position under tremendous pressure. This, incidentally, was founded in 1878 by the father of Dame Nellie Melba, which is why it is called the Mitchell Quarries. 8 & 15 November 1979 JAMES GLEESON: I see. ELIZABETH VASSILIEFF: And still called the Mitchell Quarries. JAMES GLEESON: Yes, yes.

    Sailing through Russian History: Down the Volga and the Don September 12-25 (14 days, 13 nights) Join the Albuquerque International Association on a unique Journey. The Volga and Don Rivers are to Russia what the Mississippi, Missouri and Ohio Rivers are to the United States -- great waterways that course through the nation's heartland at the pivot of its history. Along their banks tumultuous events have unfolded: Russia's struggle against the Mongol Khans that opened the gateway to the East, fierce peasant rebellions led by the famous Stenka Razin and Emilian Pugachev, and the battle of Stalingrad that determined the fate of the world. The cities you will visit -- Uglich, Nizhnyi Novgorod, Kazan, Ulyanovsk, Samara, Saratov and Volgograd -- each with their own unique histories, are the birthplaces of many of Russia's cultural and political leaders and are rich in architectural, artistic, commercial and scientific achievements. Beginning with three exciting days in Moscow, you will cruise in comfort down Mother Volga and the Quiet Don, gaining as never before remarkable insights into Russia's past and, perhaps, a glimpse of her future as well. Tour Highlights: Three unforgettable days in Moscow, the present, as well as the ancient capital of Russia Founded in 1148, Uglich witnessed the end of the Rurik Dynasty, a crucial turning point in Russian history at the end of the 16th century. Maria Nagaya, the seventh wife of Ivan the Terrible, lived in exile in Uglich with her son Tsarevich Dmitry, a possible successor to the Russian throne. But in 1590 he was killed or “died by accident” there.
