There, in the rich musical environment of Vienna at the turn of the century, she studied piano with the well-known teachers Richard Robert and Theodor Leschetlzky and harmony in the class of Arnold Schoenberg. While still very young she felt herself particularly drawn to the music of Bach, an affinity which did not .find full expression until some years after her enrollment as a student at the Hochschule fUr Muslk in Berlin in 1909* In 1913> Wanda Landowska joined the faculty of the Hochschule and thus Mme. Ehlers heard, for the first time, the keyboard music of the baroque played on the instrument for which it was composed, the harpsichord• From that time forward she devoted herself to its study under Mme. Landowska, while other classes at the Hochschule under such professors as Curt Sachs and Johannes Wolf continued to increase her understanding of eighteenth century style. This manuscript, a transcription of tape recordings made by the UCLA Oral History Program with Mme. Ehlers, is a description in the artistfs own words of the development of the career which grew out of these early and formative viii associations. Mme. Landowska left Berlin in 1918, bringing to an end Mme. Ehlers1 period of apprenticeship as her student• As Mme. Ehlers1 repertoire and reputation grew she became widely known throughout Europe as a concert harpsichordist, her tours also taking her to Palestine, Russia, the British Isles, and South America. With composer Paul HIndemith she performed many of the BIber Biblical Sonatas for which Hindemith had realized the figured bass. Some years later, in 1936, she played for the first time in the United States at the Library of Congress. One of the important relationships in Mme. Ehlers1 life, greatly Influencing the growth of her understanding of baroque music, was her close friendship with Albert Schweitzer who introduced her to a new concept of articulation and phrasing in the performance of Bach. There were many meetings between them at Dr. Schweitzerfs home in Gunsbach, which became a frequently visited haven for Mme. Ehlers after she permanently left Nazi Germany in 1933* For five years she lived in London, playing concerts and teaching, and continuing to visit the home in Gunsbach even when Dr. Schweitzer himself was in Lambarene. Through the years there was a considerable corres- pondence between the two; Mme. Ehlers has kindly allowed much of it to be photographed and housed in the UCLA Library1s Department of Special Collections. A sampling from it is contained, in translation, in the addenda to this manuscript. ix In 1907* shortly after moving to Berlin, Mme* Ehlers married Alfred Ehlers, an artist and sculptor. Of their two daughters, Maria and Christina, Christina had already moved to the United States and become established in the Los Angeles area at the time when Mme. Ehlers came to teach a summer class at Juilliard in 1938. Continuing to the West Coast to visit, it became apparent to her that with the deterioration of world conditions she would be unable to return to Europe and so, inadvertently, this journey became a permanent move. Southern California has remained Mme, Ehlers1 home since that time. The harpsichord was then virtually unknown as a concert instrument in this area, and her performances and teaching have contributed greatly to the renaissance of interest in it and the music of its period. In 19^0 she joined the faculty of the University of Southern California's School of Music where she has remained active to the present date as Professor of Music Emeritus, teaching classes in the history and the interpretation of baroque music, as well as working with many individual students in harpsichord technique* Among the honors and awards received by Mtoe. Ehlers are the following: Mendelssohn Prize, Berlin; Honorary Doctor of Music degree from Lewis and Clark College, 19^9j Walker Ames Professorship, University of Washington, 195^> Honorary Doctor of Law degree, University of Cincinnati, 1958; and the first Brlttingham rrofessorship of Music, University of X Wisconsin, 1961. In 19^7> the year of her eightieth birthday, she received a merit citation from the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors; a special merit award from the University of Southern California School of Music Alumni Association; and the distinguished service medal of the German Republic, which was presented in Los Angeles by the German Consul• In addition, the Alice Ehlers Young Musicians Performance Fund was established under the auspices of the South Bay Chamber Music Association* All of these aspects of her career — her memories of those people most formative in her life; her comments on Bach, the music of the baroque period and the Instruments on which it is performed; her opinions on the art of teaching and performing — are given by Mme. Ehlers in the following pages* Her views have been further expanded by the Inclusion of an Interview with one of her former students, Malcolm Hamilton* who discusses with her their mutual experiences In the student-teacher relationship and as co-performers in works for two harpsichords. Records relating to this series of Interviews are located in the office of the UCLA Oral History Program, INTERVIEW HISTORY INTERVIEWER: Adelaide G. Tusler, Oral History Program, UCLA. Age, 42. BA, Music and History, UCLA; MLS, UCLA. Graduate work toward the MA In Music, UCLA. TIME AND SETTING OP INTERVIEWS: Place: Mme. Ehlers1 home, 4l6 Calle Mayor, Redondo Beach, California. The Interview including Malcolm Hamilton was held at Mr. Hamilton's home, Garden Grove, California. Dates: Prom October 20, 1965 to February 28* 1966; at basically one-week intervals, occasionally longer Intervals. The Ehlers-Hamilton interview was added May 16, 1966. Lengjh and total number of recording sessions: Each session produced one hour of recorded tape with the exception of the second session in which two hours were recorded and the fourth session, one and one-half hours. The manuscript represents a total of thirteen and one-half hours of recording time. Persons present during Interview: Ehlers and Tusler; Ehlers, Hamilton and Tusler in the last session, CONDUCT OF INTERVIEW: The interviewer encouraged an autobiographical approach within a chronological frame- work, introducing questions freely. The general topic of each session was planned in advance but detailed preparation was impossible because of the lack of written records, and chronology is frequently interrupted. The sessions were usually preceded by some discussion though, generally speaking, the accounts given on the tape by Mme, Ehlers had not been previously narrated to the interviewer. The atmosphere of the sessions was informal and often conversational, EDITING: A verbatim transcript of the tapes was edited by the interviewer, who primarily introduced punctuation and proper spelling ahd slightly emended syntax.

    Käraste Micke med barn, Tillsammans med er sörjer vi en underbar persons hädangång, och medan ni har förlorat en hustru och en mamma har miljoner av beundrare världen över förlorat en vän och en inspirationskälla. Många av dessa kände att de hade velat prata med er, dela sina historier om Marie med er, om vad hon betydde för dem, och hur mycket hon har förändrat deras liv. Det ni håller i era händer är en samling av över 6200 berättelser, funderingar och minnen från människor ni förmodligen inte kän- ner personligen, men som Marie har gjort ett enormt intryck på. Ni kommer att hitta både sorgliga och glada inlägg förstås, men huvuddelen av dem visar faktiskt hur enormt mycket bättre världen har blivit med hjälp av er, och vår, Marie. Hon kommer att leva kvar i så många människors hjärtan, och hon kommer aldrig att glömmas. Tack för allt Marie, The Daily Roxette å tusentals beundrares vägnar. A A. Sarper Erokay from Ankara/ Türkiye: How beautiful your heart was, how beautiful your songs were. It is beyond the words to describe my sorrow, yet it was pleasant to share life on world with you in the same time frame. Many of Roxette songs inspired me through life, so many memories both sad and pleasant. May angels brighten your way through joining the universe, rest in peace. Roxette music will echo forever wihtin the hearts, world and in eternity. And you’ll be remembered! A.Frank from Germany: Liebe Marie, dein Tod hat mich zu tiefst traurig gemacht. Ich werde deine Musik immer wieder hören.

  • Fingering Strategies in the Prelude of J.S. Bach's Sixth
    FINGERING STRATEGIES IN THE PRELUDE OF J.S. BACH’S SIXTH SUITE FOR SOLO CELLO ALEXANDRA CLAIRE PARTRIDGE A dissertation submitted to Massey University and Victoria University of Wellington in partial fulfilment of the degree Masters of Musical Arts in Classical Performance New Zealand School of Music 2014 ABSTRACT The introduction of this exegesis presents a brief history of Bach’s cello suites, explores the relevance and reliability of the manuscript sources and discusses the intended five-stringed instrument for Suite No. 6. Part One compares and contrasts the fingering patterns within selected extracts from eleven different editions of the Prelude. It examines the varying interpretations and takes into account the fingering choices that have been adopted in the publications. Part Two of this exegesis comprises this author’s version of the Prelude. This incorporates the technically and musically convincing fingering patterns found from the research in prior parts of this study, as well as using the author’s own knowledge of cello pedagogy. The ultimate purpose of this research is to provide a comprehensive and informed version in which challenges of playing this movement are largely minimised. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost, my gratitude goes to my family. If it weren’t for their love, support and dedication to my musical growth right from day one, my passion would never have been ignited. A huge thank you goes to my past and present teachers, particularly to David Chickering who first delighted me with the Bach Suites, and to Inbal Megiddo for her encouragement and mentorship. Lastly, I would like to express my appreciation to my supervisor Professor Donald Maurice, because his wisdom, guidance and patience helped me through each stage of this exegesis.

  • Three Transcriptions for Viola and Piano
    Three Transcriptions for Viola and Piano Clara Mathilde Faisst (1872-1948) Adagio Consolante Clara Faisst was born in Karlsruhe in 1872. Her formal education took place in Karlsruhe and Berlin, where her composi- tion teachers included Max Bruch (1838-1920) and Woldemar Bargiel (1828-1897; step-brother of Clara Schumann). She studied piano with Ernst Rudorff (1840-1916; pupil of Clara Schumann). She earned a living in Karlsruhe by teaching, performing, and composing. Her circle of friends included some of the greatest musicians of that era, particularly Albert Schweitzer (1875-1965) with whom she corresponded. Adagio Consolante, opus 7 #1, originally for cello and piano, was published by Simrock in 1902. The composition is ro- mantic, and in spite of the time of publication, is not “salon-style.” The work has a finely crafted melodic line and her use of chromaticism is sophisticated. Numerous slur discrepancies are found when comparing the piano score and the separate cello part. Preference has been given to the markings in the separate cello part because they provide much more logical bow- ings. Performers can compare the markings in the viola transcription to the cello line in the score to see where these discrep- ancies occur. Other discrepancies that demand more detailed resolutions follow. All down-bow and up-bow markings and fingerings are editorial. ps = piano score cp = separate cello part. Measure Problem Solution 8 half note in cp, whole note in ps half note for bowing-ease 13 p in cp, not ps include 21 rit. in ps, not cp include 23 p in ps, not cp include 24 rit.
