  • A Study of Gian Carlo Menotti's Concerto for Violin and Orchestra

    A Study of Gian Carlo Menotti's Concerto for Violin and Orchestra

    A STUDY OF GIAN CARLO MENOTTI’S CONCERTO FOR VIOLIN AND ORCHESTRA by LAURA ANNE TOMLIN (Under the Direction of Dorothea Link and Levon Ambartsumian) ABSTRACT Gian Carlo Menotti’s Concerto for Violin and Orchestra (1952), although written and premiered in the early 1950s, has been an unduly neglected work due to a number of circumstances, but one that has recently been gaining in popularity. The purpose of this document is to provide a comprehensive guide to the Violin Concerto in the hope that it will help capture the attention of those unaware of its existence and ultimately aide in the concerto’s acceptance into the violinist’s standard repertoire. The Violin Concerto’s historical context is examined in relationship to its compositional style and possible sources of inspiration, and to its neglect in the past and recent surge in popularity in the violin world. A formal and theoretical analysis of Menotti’s concerto, as well as a discussion of its technical challenges from the standpoint of the performer, will provide insight into its composition and interpretative issues. Despite its traditional form, Menotti’s Violin Concerto is an unusual piece in many respects, among which are its intriguing possible biographical components. Composed in 1952 for violinist Efrem Zimbalist, the work, on first hearing, can seem a bit disjointed with elements obviously derived from, or at the very least influenced by, other works. However, on closer examination of the work and of its intended performer, these elements appear to be intentional. For these reasons, in addition to its appeal simply as a composition, Menotti’s Violin Concerto is worthy of further study.

    THE NAFF COLLECTION (Location: Range 4, Section 5 – NR Workroom)

    THE NAFF COLLECTION (Location: Range 4, Section 5 – NR Workroom) The Naff Collection is an accumulation of programs, autographed photographs, posters, folders, booklets, announcements and a few other items which tell the story of professional theater in Nashville between the years 1900 and 1960. This material was collected by the late Mrs. L. C. Naff during the period in which she served as secretary to the Rice Bureau and later as manager of the Ryman Auditorium. She bequeathed the collection to Francis Robinson, assistant manager of the Metropolitan Opera, who began his career as an usher at the Ryman. On March 27, 1967, Mr. Robinson made the formal presentation of the collection to the Public Library of Nashville and Davidson County, Charles C. Trabue, chairman of the board, and Marshall Stewart, chief librarian. The public was invited to this ceremony at which the collection was on display. The materials had been listed by chronological periods and arranged by Ann Dorsey, head of the reference department, Edward Durham and Terry Hudson. After the material had remained on exhibit for one month, it was packed for storage. In January 1971, it was decided that the collection should be classified and indexed so that it might be more readily available to researchers and other interested parties. The holdings in the Naff Collection have been classified as follows: NAFF COLLECTION CLASSIFICATIONS Advertising Announcements Descriptive Folders Letters and Telegrams Librettos Newspaper Clippings Photographs Posters Programs: Concerts Dances Lectures Miscellaneous Musical Comedies Operas Operettas Orchestras Plays Recitals Souvenirs Variety Realia Scripts Souvenir Booklets The subject headings of the various collections will most likely lead to desired information, particularly if the medium of a performer is known.

Start with the violin. Current faculty members Aaron rosand, Joseph Silverstein, Michael tree, and Shmuel Ashkenasi all studied with efrem Zimbalist, Curtis’s director from 1941 to 1968. Go back just one generation and you’ll find that Zimbalist was a pupil of famed pedagogue Leopold Auer, the dedicatee of the tchaikovsky Leopold Auer Violin Concerto. Auer himself served on the Curtis faculty for two years, from 1928 to 1930. His pupils, at Curtis and elsewhere, also included Mischa elman, Jascha Heifetz, Nathan Milstein, toscha Seidel, and Oscar Shumsky.

Abstract This thesis investigates the teaching and legacy of Leopold Auer; it addresses, in particular to what extent his promulgation of the ‘German’ School of Violin Playing was instrumental in establishing the ‘Russian’ and ‘American’ Schools. Recent research in late 19th-century violin performance-practice has focused mainly on the ‘German’ and ‘Franco-Belgian’ Schools, and on tracing ‘genealogies’ of violin playing, especially within the ‘German’ school itself. Auer, however, has been little studied, as remarkably is also true for descendents of the German school such as Ossip Schnirlin, Benno Rabinof, and Mischa Weisbord. This research will also briefly examine the authority of Joachim and Auer (who were both native Hungarians) on their students with regards to Hungarian musical gestures and Gypsy performance styles, in an era where violin playing was more uniform and the style hongrois gradually disappearing from Western music altogether.

He used the Western-oriented symphony orchestra to imitate and evoke sounds of traditional Chinese instru- ments, and he also transcribed characteristic ornamentations and used such instruments as temple blocks and finger cymbals. His only musical studies were in Zurich and he then resided in Shanghai, excepting a few years in the U.S. and elsewhere, until 1946.
