THE FOURTH INTERNATIONAL PIANO MASTER COMPETITION MARCH-APRIL 1983 ISRAEL THE ARTHUR RUBINSTEIN INTERNATIONAL MUSIC SOCIETY ' THE FOURTH INTERNATIONAL PIANO MASTER COMPETITION MARCH-APRIL 1983 ISRAEL . THE NEW JEWISH NATION HAS FELT, FROM ITS’ EARLIEST BEGINNING, THAT HOMELAND AND CULTURE ARE TWO CONCEPTIONS WHICH CANNOT BE SEPARATED FROM EACH OTHER. ARTHUR RUBINSTEIN For Israel this fourth Arthur Rubinstein International Piano Master Competition is an event of deep and moving significance. It is bound up with many aspects of our nation's life, even beyond the Competition's world-wide artistic importance and the aesthetic delight it gives to great numbers We see it this year as a fitting memorial to the great musician, humanist, superbly charming man and dedicated Jew who shed his luster upon it ever since its initiation in 1974. We in Israel have benefitted from Arthur Rubinstein's special, generous concern for young talents in the country, and we are happy that young artists from many countries are to participate 1n the Competition. Their presence and the remarkable panel of judges underscore the international nature of music and Israel's place in that great world - a place consonant with Israel's dedication to the arts and the enhancement of human life. May the fourth Rubinstein Competition fulfil its hopes Yitzhak Navon Jerusalem, January 25, 1983 Mr. J. Bistritzky The Arthur Rubinstein International Piano Master Competition P.O. Box 29MW Tel Aviv Dear Mr. Bistritzky, I wish to acknowledge with thanks receipt of your letter of January 12, 1983. Certainly, if I am able to do so, I will attend the special concert to mark the close of the Competition which bears the great artist's name. I am gratified that you are continuing with artistic musical activities to perpetuate the memory of Arthur Rubinstein. He was one of the greatest musicians of our day and a devoted friend of Israel. During the last years of his life we became dear personal friends. We exchanged letters and cables, and in this correspondence he constantly expressed his pride in being a Jew and his love for the State of Israel. Arthur Rubinstein passed away after a long life of artis­ tic achievement that few can equal. Millions of people across the world felt their spirits rise on hearing him play for he towered above others. Today he is an inspiration to countless musicians and he will continue to be so for generations to come. Hay the day come when all will be as he was, friends of our people and land.

One can only anticipate with excitement the Arthur Rubinstein International Piano Master Competition, to be held in Israel this spring, which has become one of the foremost events of its kind. And yet this year, as this Competition becomes a memorial to Arthur Rubinstein, we all feel deeply the loss of this great man, great musician, and great friend of Israel's and Jerusalem's. He shared a love for Jerusalem which was poetic and musical in its quality. He loved its hills and its walls and its alleys. Among the many honors and awards he received throughout the world, the Arthur Rubinstein Forest in Jerusalem gave him the most pleasure and pride. H1s music and he himself have become a legend and will inspire generations of pianists, many of whom will play in a Competition bearing his name.

    Israel in 1982: the War in Lebanon

    Israel in 1982: The War in Lebanon by RALPH MANDEL LS ISRAEL MOVED INTO its 36th year in 1982—the nation cele- brated 35 years of independence during the brief hiatus between the with- drawal from Sinai and the incursion into Lebanon—the country was deeply divided. Rocked by dissension over issues that in the past were the hallmark of unity, wracked by intensifying ethnic and religious-secular rifts, and through it all bedazzled by a bullish stock market that was at one and the same time fuel for and seeming haven from triple-digit inflation, Israelis found themselves living increasingly in a land of extremes, where the middle ground was often inhospitable when it was not totally inaccessible. Toward the end of the year, Amos Oz, one of Israel's leading novelists, set out on a journey in search of the true Israel and the genuine Israeli point of view. What he heard in his travels, as published in a series of articles in the daily Davar, seemed to confirm what many had sensed: Israel was deeply, perhaps irreconcilably, riven by two political philosophies, two attitudes toward Jewish historical destiny, two visions. "What will become of us all, I do not know," Oz wrote in concluding his article on the develop- ment town of Beit Shemesh in the Judean Hills, where the sons of the "Oriental" immigrants, now grown and prosperous, spewed out their loath- ing for the old Ashkenazi establishment. "If anyone has a solution, let him please step forward and spell it out—and the sooner the better.

    Symposium Zwischen Zeiten Und Welten. Leben Und Werk Von Béla

    Symposium in memoriam Lory Wallfisch Zwischen Zeiten und Welten. Leben und Werk von Béla Bartók und George Enescu. Delmenhorst, 18.-20. November 2011 Organisation: Prof. Violeta Dinescu und Roberto Reale Carl von Ossietzky Universität Oldenburg 1 6. Zwischen Zeiten Symposium in memoriam Lory Wallfisch (1922-2011) Carl von Ossietzky Universität Oldenburg in Kooperation mit dem Hanse-Wissenschaftskolleg Delmenhorst/HWK Delmenhorst Zwischen Zeiten & Welten Leben und Werk von Béla Bartók und George Enescu 18.-20. November 2011 In diesem Jahr ist der 130. Geburtstag von zwei der schillerndsten musikalischen Persönlichkeiten des 20. Jahrhunderts zu feiern: Béla Bartók und George Enescu. Deswegen widmet sich das 6. Zwischen Zeiten-Symposium an der Universität Oldenburg diesen beiden Komponisten. Bartók und Enescu verbindet viel: Beide sind im osteuropäischen Raum geboren, beide haben ihre Heimat verlassen und dies als existentielles dramatisches Erlebnis empfunden, beide waren nicht nur Komponisten, sondern hervorragende praktizierende Musiker (Bartók als Pianist, Enescu als Violinist, Pianist und Dirigent), und schließlich haben beide in ihrem Werk das Eigene ihrer Herkunft bewahren können und Fremdes assimiliert. Bartók war ein angesehener Musikethnologe, dessen Recherchen bis heute Gültigkeit haben. Seine Transkriptionen und Analysen der traditionellen Musik Osteuropas sind Meilensteine der Forschung und haben zugleich seine eigene Musik inspiriert. Dass (und wie) diese Quellen seine Musik beeinflusst haben, bleibt in seiner Vielfalt noch zu entdecken. George Enescu hingegen hat keine wissenschaftlichen Feldforschungen wie Bartók betrieben, doch hat er, kaum weniger auf die traditionelle Musik seiner Heimat Bezug nehmend, eine Tradition begründet, die sich gänzlich von der Bartóks unterscheidet. Enescu wie Bartók haben mithin musikalische Sprachen entwickelt, die bei allen Gemeinsamkeiten außerordentlich individualisiert sind.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 o ON CA lA N Abstract For six years since 1984 Israel underwent a unique p o litic al experience: i t was ruled by national coalitions supported by more than 75% of the members of parliament. Larger-than-minimal coalitions have always been problematic for traditional coalition theory. The Israeli case provides therefore an opportunity to examine the various actors' motivations and behaviour, as they reflect on coalition theory at 1arge. The assumption that actors are driven by "win maximization" is central to formal models of coalition theory. This assumption led to predictions of winning coalitions which are minimal in size, membership or ideological scope. Non-minimal coalitions were regarded as suboptimal choices, explainable on an ad hoc basis, e.g.
