Carl Goldmark (Born at Keszthely, Hungary, May 18, 1830; now living in Vienna.) Goldmark's overture, "In Italien," was produced at a Philharmonic Concert, led by Ernst Schuch, in Vienna on January 24, 1904. The first performance in America was by the Chicago Orchestra, Theodore Thomas conductor, at Chicago, December 3, 1904. The overture is scored for two flutes (one interchangeable with piccolo), two oboes, one English horn, two clarinets, one bass clarinet, • two bassoons, four horns, three trumpets, three trombones, one bass tuba, kettledrums, tambourine, snare-drum, cymbals, triangle, harp, strings. It is in the form of the old Italian overture. It begins with an al- legro section, which is followed by a slow movement, after which the lively section is repeated. Allegro con fuoco, C major, 4-4 (12-8). There is no introduction, but after a measure of bassoons, kettledrums, and basses the chief theme, of a gay character, is announced by violins and wind instru- ments. This is developed by full orchestra. The second theme, of a gentler nature, is sung (Ruhig, A-flat) by solo oboe, accompanied by bassoons, horns, harp, triangle, and tambourine, and there is a counter- melody in 'cellos and double-basses. This theme is developed, and the chief theme is developed with it, something after the manner of the stretto in a fugue, until the slow section is reached. Langsam (Andante), 4-4. An expressive theme is sung by the oboes, accompanied by harp and muted strings. The second part of this section recalls in its mood the "Sakuntala" overture, and the divided strings and the harp, with the use of horns and wood-wind, give the coloring dear to Goldmark. This section ends with a repetition of the first motive, sung originally by the oboes. LATEST EA.STEI* SONGS " The Easter norn." Music by S. COLERIDGE-TAYLOR.

FLANDERS, Manager, Huntington Avenue and Gainsborough Street, Boston, Mass. : crescendo A in the form of an organ-point on the dominant G leads to repetition a of the Allegro con fuoco, but in the course of this Allegro there are reminiscences of the motives of the slow section, which are combined with the two themes of the Allegro. Concerto in E minor, for Pianoforte and Orchestra, Op. ii. Frederick Chopin (Born at Zelazowa-Wola, near Warsaw, March i, 1809; died at Paris, October 17, 1849.) In March, 1830, Chopin wrote from Warsaw: "I hope yet to finish " before the holidays the first Allegro of my second concerto (i.e., the one in E minor). The concerto in F minor was composed and played be- fore the one in E minor, but it was published later. He wrote on May 15 of the same year: "The Rondo for my con- certo is not yet finished, because the right inspired mood has always been wanting. If I have only the Allegro and the Adagio completely finished, I shall be without anxiety about the Finale. The Adagio is in E major, and of a romantic, calm, and partly melancholy character. It is intended to convey the impression which one receives when the eye rests on a beloved landscape which calls up in one's soul beautiful memories,—for instance, on a fine moonlit spring night. I have written violins with mutes as an accompaniment to it. I wonder if that will have a good effect? Well, time will show." In August the Finale was ready, and in September the concerto was rehearsed with a quartet. Chopin wrote: "Those who were present say that the finale is the most successful movement (probably because it is easily intelligible." The musical world of Warsaw—Poles, Czechs, Germans, Italians—were invited to the rehearsal with full orchestra except trumpets and drums, September 22, 1830. "Then I have also to provide the desks and mutes, which I had yesterday totally forgotten without the latter the Adagio would be wholly insignificant and its success doubtful. The Rondo is effective, the first Allegro vigorous. Cursed self-love! And, if it is any one's fault that I am conceited, The only Cocoa w.ith a Rich PHK* Cocoa Chocolate Flavor. — it is yours, egoist: he who associates with such a person becomes like him." The concert was given in the theatre at Warsaw on October 1 1, 1830. The programme was as follows: Symphony Gorner First Allegro from the Concerto in E minor Chopin Aria with Chorus Soliva Adagio and Rondo from the Concerto in E minor Chopin Overture to "Guillaume Tell" Rossini Cavatina from "La Donna del lago" •. Rossini Fantasia on Polish Airs Chopin (Soliva (1 792-1851) was a composer and singing-teacher. Two of his best pupils, Miss Wolkow and Miss Gladkowska, sang at this con- cert. George Sand wrote a sonnet to him. Gorner was a horn-player as well as a composer.) The theatre was full, and Chopin, who had been exceedingly nervous, played at his ease. He played on Streicher's piano, and Soliva con- ducted. Chopin played the concerto at Breslau (November, 1830), Vienna (1831), Munich (1831), Paris (February 26, 1832, and April 5, 1835), Rouen (1838). This concerto has been changed by some pianists for the sake of fuller orchestration and their own glory. The most famous of these versions is the one by Tausig. Chopin dedicated this concerto to Friedrich Kalkbrenner, whose playing he greatly admired. The work was published in 1833. An Enviable Record STECK Of over 45 Years.

    Sibelius in the Context of the Finnish-German History Veijo Murtomäki Introduction The life and career of a composer cannot be considered as an isolated case without taking into account the wider context. The history of ideas and ideologies is always part of any serious enquiry into an artist’s personal history. Therefore we must bear in mind at least four points when considering the actions of artist and his or her country. Firstly, as the eminent Finnish historian Matti Klinge has observed, "the biggest challenge for understanding history is trying to situate oneself in the preconditions of the time-period under scrutiny while remembering that it did not know what the posterity knows."[1] Writing history is not primarily a task whereby the historian provides lines for actors to speak, but rather is an attempt to understand and explain why something happened, and to construct a context including all of the possible factors involved in a certain historical process. Secondly, supporting (or not opposing) an ideology prevailing at a certain time does not mean that the supporter (or non-opponent) is committing a crime. We could easily condemn half of the European intellectuals for supporting Fascism, Nazism, Communism or Maoism, or just for having become too easily attracted by these – in their mind – fascinating, visionary ideologies to shape European or world history. Thirdly, history has always been written by the winners – and thus, historiography tends to be distorted by exaggerating the evil of the enemy and the goodness of the victor. A moral verdict must be reached when we are dealing with absolute evil, but it is rare to find exclusively good or bad persons or civilizations; therefore history is rarely an issue of black and white.

Tiesin etukäteen Ojanperän olleen kanttori ja laulunopettaja. Kiinnostuin aiheesta, kun kotikunnallani järjestettiin suuri oopperaprojekti, Abrahamin pidot. Aihe on alkanut kiinnostamaan minua yhä enemmän, kun olen saanut selville tietoja Abraham Ojanperästä. Kerron ensin Ojanperän eri elämänvaiheista, hänen opiskelustaan ja urasta musiikin parissa kanttorina ja laulunopettajana. Sen jälkeen tutkin Ojanperän yhteyksiä aikansa säveltäjiin ja muihin muusikkoihin, erityisesti kirkkomuusikoihin. Etsin myös tietoa Ojanperän lauluoppilaista. Tutkin työssäni, onko Ojanperä myötävaikuttanut suomalaisen, suomenkielisen kirkkomusiikin syntymiseen tai julkaisemiseen, ja minkälaisia vaikutuksia suomalaiseen musiikkikulttuuriin hänellä on ollut. Työssäni käytän lähteenä Anna-Maija Näsäsen kirjoittamaa teosta Abraham Ojanperä, laulajan elämä, Iikka Niemelän lukuisia kirjoituksia Ojanperän elämään liittyen sekä erilaisia lehtiartikkeleita ja muita lyhyempiä tekstejä, jotka löysin Limingan kirjaston arkistokansiosta. Ojanperästä on kirjoitettu melko vähän. Sibelius-Akatemiassa

In fact, his single-movement Seventh Symphony Op. 105 (1924) and the tone poem Tapiola Op. 112 (1926) demonstrate just how close these two genres came to merging in his output. Tone poems linked Sibelius to the radical Romantic composers of the 19th century: programme music allowed composers to expand their musical idiom and to break out of the bounds of formal structures.

He was also a rather minor composer, but he was perspicacious enough to recognize true genius when he saw it. Thus he became Jean Sibelius’s first music publisher and one of his first true supporters, as well as taking part as a viola player in several Sibelius pre- mières. Karl Fredrik’s son, Carl-Johan, was solo cellist in the Helsinki Philhar - monic Orchestra and himself participated in many performances of Sibelius’s music, both orchestral and chamber. Carl-Johan’s daughter Margaretha is known as a prima ballerina assoluta at the Finnish Opera, and mine is the honour to be her son. Basically, since I started BIS in 1973, I have had a dream to record ‘every-note- he-ever-wrote’ by Sibelius, but not before I met Andrew Barnett, one of today’s great Sibe lius cognoscenti, did any firm plan materialize. True, the recording of the complete piano music had been started, as had that of the symphonies, but Andrew injected plan ning and system into the project. Great help was also received from the legendary Sibelius biographer Erik Tawaststjerna, as well as from the doyen of present-day Sibe lius scholars Fabian Dahlström. The project was not an easy one.

    P THE GLORIOUS, TRAGIC CAREER OF ERNST MIELCK by Kimmo Korhonen In late spring 1899 the composer Ernst Mielck was struck with a serious bout of tuberculosis of the jugular gland. He underwent an operation, but the doctors did not give him much hope of recovery. By July of that year Mielck’s condition showed signs of improvement, and in the middle of August he moved to the shores of Lago di Maggiore in Locarno, Switzerland, where he was to spend the following winter. Yet in spite of the encouraging prognosis, his condition took a turn for the worse: the illness spread to his lungs and Mielck died on 22 October. He was buried in Locarno two days later – on what would have been his 22nd birthday. Mielck’s sudden death marked the premature end of a career that promised great things. He had come to prominence only a few years earlier, first as a pianist, then as a composer. In his few years of creativity he composed a body of works that, though small, nonetheless demonstrated his extraordinary talent. His output includes the first fully fledged Finnish symphony (1897), composed two years before the First Symphony of Jean Sibelius. Contemporary musical circles even viewed him as a significant challenger to Sibelius. Mielck’s career reached its zenith in December 1898, when he became the first Finnish composer to hold a concert of his own works with the Berlin Philharmonic. In spite of this success, Mielck has remained something of an outsider in the history of Finnish music. At a time when young Finnish composers were increasingly turning their attentions to national themes and a post-Wagnerian musical language, Mielck took inspiration from central-European Romanticism and the traditional compositional forms of Mendelssohn, Schumann and Brahms.
