No. 7) Joseph Haydn (Born at Rohrau, Lower Austria, March 31, 1732; died at Vienna, May 31, 1809) This symphony is No. 1 in the catalogue of the series of twelve composed by Haydn for Salomon's concerts in 1791 and 1792 at London. This catalogue is arranged arbitrarily, not according to the date of composition or performance. Thus, the first symphony performed at Salomon-Haydn concerts, March 11, 1791, was the one in D major. No. 2 of the London catalogue, but No. 5 in Breit- kopf & Hartel's list. Unfortunately the programs of some of the concerts at which the symphonies were produced could not be found even by the indefatigable Pohl when he was collecting the material for his "Mozart und Haydn in London" (Vienna, 1867), and we are with- out information concerning the history of some of the symphonies. This Symphony in C major is scored for two flutes, two oboes, two bassoons, two horns, two trumpets, kettledrums, and strings. It was performed here at concerts of the Boston Symphony Or- chestra on October 21, 1882, January 28, 1888, April 12, 1902, and April 9, 1904. The music does not call for elaborate analysis.

It is built on two themes: the first is simply robust; the second is in contrasting but cheerful spirit. II. Adagio ma non troppo, F major, 4-4. An aria theme is developed. There is a middle section in F minor. III. Menuetto, Allegretto, C major, 3-4. The trio has a light air for first violins and oboe. IV. The Finale, Presto assai, C major, 2-4, is a rondo in Haydn's characteristic manner. Haydn's name began to be mentioned in England in 1765. Sym- phonies by him were played in concerts given by J. C. Bach, Abel, and others in the seventies. Lord Abingdon tried in 1783 to per- suade Haydn to take the direction of the Professional Concerts which had just been founded. Gallini asked him his terms for an opera. Salomon, violinist, conductor, manager, sent a music pub- lisher, one Bland—^an auspicious name—to coax him to London, but Haydn was loath to leave Prince Esterhazy. Prince Mcolaus died in 1790,, and his successor, Prince Anton, who did not care for music, dismissed the orchestra at Esterhaz, and kept only a brass QUALITY and REPUTATION enable you to know in advance that the VOS© is a most satisfactory piano.

  • Hall of Fame Andy Partridge
    Hall of Fame Andy Partridge Andrew John Partridge (born 11 November 1953) is an English singer, songwriter, guitarist, and record producer from Swindon. He is best known for co-founding the rock band XTC, in which he served as the group's primary songwriter and vocalist. While the band was formed as an early punk rock group, Partridge's music drew heavily from British Invasion songwriters, and his style gradually shifted to more traditional pop, often with pastoral themes. The band's only British top 10 hit, "Senses Working Overtime" (1982), was written by Partridge. In addition to his work with XTC, Partridge has released one solo album on Virgin Records in 1980 called Take Away / The Lure of Salvage. He has also collaborated (as performer, writer or record producer) with recording artists, including Martin Newell, with whom he recorded and produced an album in 1993 entitled The Greatest Living Englishman released in Japan as a duo album. Partridge was producer for the English band Blur during the recording of Modern Life Is Rubbish (1993). He was replaced by Stephen Street at the insistence of their record label, Food. According to Partridge he was unpaid for the sessions and received his expenses only. Partridge also wrote four songs for Disney's version of James and the Giant Peach (1996) but was replaced by Randy Newman when he could not get Disney to offer him "an acceptable deal". In the 2000s, Partridge began releasing demos of his songs under his own name in The Official Fuzzy Warbles Collector's Album and the Fuzzy Warbles album series on his APE House record label.

  • Conclusion: Popular Music, Aesthetic Value, and Materiality
    CONCLUSION: POPULAR MUSIC, AESTHETIC VALUE, AND MATERIALITY Popular music has been accused of being formulaic, homogeneous, man- ufactured, trite, vulgar, trivial, ephemeral, and so on. These condemna- tions have roots in aspects of the Western aesthetic tradition, especially its modernist and expressivist branches, according to which great art innovates, breaks and re-makes the rules, expresses the artist’s personal vision or unique emotions, or all these. Popular music has its defenders. But they have tended to appeal to the same inherited aesthetic criteria, defending some branches of popular music at the expense of others― valorising its artistic, expressive, innovative, or authentic branches against mere ‘pop’. These evaluations are problematic, because they presuppose all along a set of criteria that are slanted against the popular fi eld. We therefore need new frameworks for the evaluation of popular music. These frameworks need to enable us to evaluate pieces of popular music by the standards proper to this particular cultural form―to judge how well these pieces work as popular music, not how successfully they rise above the popular condition. To devise such frameworks we need an account of popular music’s standard features and of the further organising qualities and typical val- ues to which these features give rise. Popular music normally has four layers of sound―melody, chords, bass, and percussion―and each layer is normally made up of repetitions of short elements, these repeti- tions being aligned temporally with one another, with whole sections of repeated material then being repeated in turn to constitute song sections. © The Author(s) 2016 249 A.

    The American Viola Society Eine Liebes-Novelle (A Love Story) 5 Bagatellen für viola und pianoforte, Op. 20 Benjamin Cutter (1857-1910) AVS Publications 044 Preface Benjamin Cutter (1857–1910) was born in Woburn, Massachusetts, and studied violin with Julius Eichberg and harmony with Stephan Emery (who also taught Arthur Foote) in Boston. After further musical studies in Germany, he returned to Boston, where he played viola in the newly formed Boston Symphony Orchestra.1 He went on to become a noted educator at the New England Conservatory (NEC), teaching a variety of subjects, including violin, viola, harmony, theory, and composition. In addition to teaching at the NEC, Cutter also played viola in various ensembles there, including a faculty string quartet and the NEC Orchestra. Eine Liebes-Novelle (A Love Story) was published as five separate movements in 1895 by the Boston firm of Arthur P. Schmidt (A. P. S. 1891–1895), making it one of the earliest American viola compositions—if not the first—to be published in the United States. The format of the work—five short pieces written in a relatively light and popular style—would have appealed to amateur violists, a burgeoning group that was attracting the attention of publishers and music dealers in the 1890s. Cutter performed the work prior to publication at a “Concert of Original Manuscript Compositions” on May 16, 1889, at the New England Conservatory. Notes about the Sources The primary sources for this edition are the manuscript scores and parts for each movement housed in the A. P. Schmidt Company Archives, Music Division, Library of Congress (the same sources used for the original published editions).
