  • An Introduction of Carl Vine's Three Piano
    AN INTRODUCTION OF CARL VINE‘S THREE PIANO SONATAS WITH EMPHASIS ON PERFORMANCE AND PRACTICE SUGGESTIONS FOR SONATA NO.2 (1997) D.M.A DOCUMENT Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement for the Degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University BY HYEKYUNG YOON, B.M., M.M. Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2010 Document Committee: Dr. Caroline J. Hong, Advisor Dr. Arved Ashby Professor Joe Duchi Copyright by HYEKYUNG YOON 2010 ABSTRACT The three piano sonatas of Carl Vine, who was born in 1954 in Perth, Australia, were written in 1990, 1997, and 2007, respectively. Applying both the traditional term and form of ―sonata‖ and various other techniques, Carl Vine writes and expresses his piano sonatas in such a way that they have become noticeable virtuosic monuments. The three piano sonatas employ the entire range of the keyboard, a wide range of dynamic expression, energetic and motoric rhythmic motion, and free and fluid fast passages with recognizable melody lines. My purpose in this document, after enjoying the learning process and performance experience with the second piano sonata in particular, is to share performance and practice suggestions, which will lead to the best interpretation and performance of these sonatas. In addition, an interview with the composer, Carl Vine, enables the performer and other musicians to understand his thought and compositional process. An observation of the compositional style of his piano sonatas shows how well he understands the piano. Due to his own personal experience as a pianist, his three piano sonatas are playable under a pianist‘s hands in spite of some difficult techniques.

    - i - - ii - UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN QUEENSLAND The Impact of Australian Classical Music Record Labels on the Australian Music Scene A Dissertation submitted by Nicola N Hayden For the award of Master of Music May 2009 - iii - Abstract The impact of Australian classical music record labels on the Australian music scene is investigated in terms of the awareness and development of Australian classical music amongst the musical community, the careers of Australian composers and performers, and the investigation into which particular label is thought to have played the most prominent role in this regard. A review of those labels currently in production in Australia was undertaken and includes the labels ABC Classics, Australian Eloquence, Jade, Melba Recordings, Move Records, Solitary Island Records, Sydney Symphony, Tall Poppies, Revolve, Vox Australis, and Walsingham Classics. The aims and goals of the various labels are ascertained along with the nature of the catalogues of each label. A comprehensive survey of each catalogue is undertaken with reference to the content of Australian compositions represented on each label. In this regard Tall Poppies label represents the most Australian composers. A survey of members of the Australian musical community was undertaken in relation to the research aims. Responses were elicited regarding the level of the respondents‘ awareness of the existence of these labels and to measure the impact the labels have had on the respondents‘ knowledge of Australian classical music. In both cases it was confirmed that Australian classical record labels have increased the respondents‘ awareness and appreciation of Australian music. Composers who have had their works recorded on an Australian record label and performers whose performances have been recorded on such labels were asked to indicate how this experience had helped them in the launching or furthering of their careers.
