Along the way, I developed a love of the broader chamber music literature to which I was first exposed First, I would like to apologize to my readers. I have hastily through the medium of phonograph records. To my chagrin, typed this entirely myself. And as I have no editor and because I years of concert-going made clear that I was unlikely to ever hear am not a good proof reader, you will find many mistakes, largely such music performed live, either because the professionals did because I have felt, now in my seventh decade, that I am racing not know of the music or because the music was unavailable. against the clock so to speak. I have wanted to make sure that I When I realized this state of affairs, I undertook to obtain some would be able to complete this guide. When it is done, and if I of the music I had heard on disk so that at least I could play it. To have time, I will improve it, add to it and, of course, try to this end, I began to search music stores, antiquarian dealers and eliminate all of the errors I have left behind. libraries both in America and Europe. Later, I used my briefly held position as chamber music critic for a classical music radio he main objective of this guide is to provide both professional and station to further the cause of lesser known but fine chamber mu- amateur chamber music players, as well as concert-goers, with a sic by encouraging many of the groups passing through our city practical guide to the string trio literature. But it is a spe-cial type to examine them. I have, on occasion, sent copies of some of of guide which up until now has not existed in English; these works I unearthed to well-known ensembles currently per- a guide which can be used as an aid to helping explore the wider forming.

However, this guide is by no means a mere compilation tion for Chamber Music Research for a similar period or time. or an encyclopaedia of works, nor is it an academic treatise which analyzes how a composer actually wrote his music. Over the years, it occurred to me that a guide such as this was needed by players and possibly by listeners. Guides to chamber It is unfortunate that today's concert-goer is presented with the music have appeared from time to time, but have been little more same works over and over again. As far as chamber music con- than detailed analyses of a few famous works. In contrast, Cob- certs go, most of them are by string quartets or piano trios. One bett's marvellous and mammoth Cyclopedic Survey of Chamber almost never hears string trios performed in the concert hall This Music is just that, an encyclopedia, not a practical handbook that can be explained by the fact that there are virtually no permanent the performer, whether professional or amateur, can rely upon in string trios in existence performing regularly before the public. In navigating the literature. most cases the only reason why a string trio concert will be pro- gramed is because it is cheaper than having to pay for a quartet. Despite the fact I recognized the need for a different kind of guide, I did not initially consider the possibility of undertaking it But if on the off chance one does get to hear a string trio concert, myself until a number of my chamber music friends and col- and by this I mean a trio for violin, viola and cello, I can almost leagues, after regularly hearing me complain such a book was guarantee that the selection will be from one of half a dozen needed, suggested I had the knowledge and experience and urged works: Mozarts Divertimento, K.563, Beethoven’s Op.9 or occa- me to write it myself. To this end, I have been fortunate in having sionally the Op.8 Serenade, and Dohnanyi’s Op.10 Serenade.

Finally I have So, unfortunately, the reality is that the only way one is going to had the opportunity to hear many works that I would otherwise hear a string trio is either through the medium of records or by never have encountered through the medium of records. playing the music themselves. Given this guide’s main objective, little attention will be expended on famous works mentioned As to the question of whether a work is a good one and deserving above. Instead, it will concentrate on lesser or unknown pieces of attention, the answer unfortunately must be subjective. There which also deserve our consideration.

In authoring such a guide, the reader has the right to inquire as to the qualifications that the writer brings to his or her task.

  • APRIL 2009 LIST See Inside for Valid Dates
    tel 0115 982 7500 fax 0115 982 7020 APRIL 2009 LIST See inside for valid dates Dear Customer As the weather here becomes positively agreeable and the evenings lengthen, we offer you a cornucopia of delights containing both new growth and old returning favourites in a seductively priced spring bouquet - we hope you cannot resist! The major new release this month is Angela Hewitt’s re-visit of the Bach 48, a fresh look at this masterpiece of the keyboard repertoire. The reports indicate a quite different approach from her original recordings a decade ago, resulting from her years of performing and living with this music - a ‘new-found freedom’ as Ms Hewitt calls it. We have made it available at a special price for this list, along with reductions on the whole of her Hyperion back catalogue. The LSO Live Gergiev Mahler series continues with Symphony no.8 recorded in the mammoth acoustic of St Paul’s Cathedral. DG, in this Handel year, provide us with the first ever studio recording of his neglected Ezio, first performed in London in 1732 and a fine example of ‘opera seria’. For fans of the Gheorghiu/Alagna duo, there is a fascinating new world premiere recording on the Larghetto label (see page 8) of excerpts from a little known opera by Vladimir Cosma, Marius and Fanny, inspired by the writings of Marcel Pagnol. As always, we have negotiated reduced price offers - HM Gold, Praga, Delphian, Accord, Handel sets on Hyperion, EMI Gemini and British Composers, and the Medici Arts DVD catalogue. Make the most of them.

As Wieck’s arguments fell away and it became clear that the young lovers would soon be able to marry, Schumann entered an extraordinary phase of compositional productivity. During 1840 and into 1841 – known as the composer’s Liederjahr or ‘year of song’ – he composed no fewer than 125 Lieder, casting them off at white heat, sometimes at the rate of two a day. This prodigious activity continued into the next year, when he turned his mind to the orchestra, composing the First Symphony and the original version of the Fourth, along with the Overture, Scherzo and Finale and the piano Phantasie, which was to become the first movement of the Piano Concerto a few years later.

    Training Creative Violinists: Taking a Page from Baillot’s L’Art Du Violon Anna McMichael A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts Sydney Conservatorium of Music, University of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia 2018 1 STATEMENT OF ORIGINALITY ‘I hereby declare that this submission is my own work and to the best of my knowledge it contains no materials previously published or written by another person, or substantial proportions of material which have been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music or any other educational institution, except where due acknowledgement is made in the thesis. Any contribution made to the research by others, with whom I have worked at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music or elsewhere, is explicitly acknowledged in the thesis. I also declare that the intellectual content of this thesis is the product of my own work.’ Signed …………………………………………….............. Date ……… 3 May, 2018 2 Abstract This thesis analyses Pierre Marie Franҫois de Sales Baillot’s L’Art du Violon (1834). My argument is that the ideas in his treatise, although written in the mid-nineteenth century, are again relevant in training tertiary violin students to become cultured, creative and adaptable musicians. Classical musicians today face considerable challenges in attracting and inspiring their audiences. While maintaining classical music traditions, musicians and arts organisations therefore are experimenting with new forms of delivery: broader themes and genres, multi-media performances, and new technologies. Performers today must draw upon considerable knowledge and skills in order to appeal to audiences, whether in concert halls or in listening to recorded music.
