  • Russian Pianist Olga Kern Opens $2 Million Public Piano Exhibit in Vancouver with Unveiling of $240,000 Steinway “Arabesque”
    RUSSIAN PIANIST OLGA KERN OPENS $2 MILLION PUBLIC PIANO EXHIBIT IN VANCOUVER WITH UNVEILING OF $240,000 STEINWAY “ARABESQUE” VANCOUVER, BC (April 30, 2014) – Award-winning Russian pianist Olga Kern opened a twelve-day public exhibit of custom designed pianos at Tom Lee Music today with the unveiling of Steinway & Sons’ new Limited Edition “Arabesque” piano, a $240,000 grand piano designed by renowned American furniture designer and artist Dakota Jackson to celebrate Steinway’s 160th anniversary. Widely recognized as one of the world’s great pianists, Ms. Kern celebrated the unveiling of the Arabesque by playing the Arabesque by Swiss composer Charles Samuel Bovy-Lysberg (1821-1873). Later this evening, she will perform works by Schumann, Alkan, Chopin and Rachmaninoff at a Vancouver Playhouse Recital presented by The Vancouver Chopin Society. The Arabesque unveiled today, one of only 50 worldwide and the only one in Canada, is the first piano to win the 2014 Red Dot Design Award for product design from the Design Zentrum Nordrhein Westfalen, one of the oldest and most highly reputed design institutions in Europe. A jury of international experts evaluated 4,815 product entries from around the world before awarding the coveted Red Dot designations. Made of polished black ebony, the Arabesque is one of 11 custom designed pianos worth $2 million that will be on display through to Sunday, May 11th. Jackson, a former dancer, designed the piano to reflect the channeled energy, perfect balance, and beauty of the Arabesque ballet pose in which the dancer's limbs are extended and held. He gave the Arabesque the impression of fluidity and movement through pentagonal legs, a gracefully curved prop stick, and a double row of silver bands in the rim.

Abstract This monograph examines the post-exile, multi-version works of Sergei Rachmaninoff with a view to unravelling the sophisticated web of meanings and values attached to them. Compositional revision is an important and complex aspect of creating musical meaning. Considering revision offers an important perspective on the construction and circulation of meanings and discourses attending Rachmaninoff’s music. While Rachmaninoff achieved international recognition during the 1890s as a distinctively Russian musician, I argue that Rachmaninoff’s return to certain compositions through revision played a crucial role in the creation of a narrative and set of tropes representing “Russian diaspora” following the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution.

I couldn’t believe from the beginning of the first song it could possibly get any more ecstatic and full of emotion, and yet it did. It was a short step from there to Strauss opera for me, and with the birth of YouTube I sat until the early hours of many a morning in my tiny room at Edinburgh University, listening to, watching and obsessing over Der Rosenkavalier’s final trio and presentation of the rose.

  • Rachmaninoff's Early Piano Works and the Traces of Chopin's Influence
    Rachmaninoff’s Early Piano works and the Traces of Chopin’s Influence: The Morceaux de Fantaisie, Op.3 & The Moments Musicaux, Op.16 A document submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in the Division of Keyboard Studies of the College-Conservatory of Music by Sanghie Lee P.D., Indiana University, 2011 B.M., M.M., Yonsei University, Korea, 2007 Committee Chair: Jonathan Kregor, Ph.D. Abstract This document examines two of Sergei Rachmaninoff’s early piano works, Morceaux de Fantaisie, Op.3 (1892) and Moments Musicaux, Opus 16 (1896), as they relate to the piano works of Frédéric Chopin. The five short pieces that comprise Morceaux de Fantaisie and the six Moments Musicaux are reminiscent of many of Chopin’s piano works; even as the sets broadly build on his character genres such as the nocturne, barcarolle, etude, prelude, waltz, and berceuse, they also frequently are modeled on or reference specific Chopin pieces. This document identifies how Rachmaninoff’s sets specifically and generally show the influence of Chopin’s style and works, while exploring how Rachmaninoff used Chopin’s models to create and present his unique compositional identity. Through this investigation, performers can better understand Chopin’s influence on Rachmaninoff’s piano works, and therefore improve their interpretations of his music. ii Copyright © 2018 by Sanghie Lee All rights reserved iii Acknowledgements I cannot express my heartfelt gratitude enough to my dear teacher James Tocco, who gave me devoted guidance and inspirational teaching for years.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Transcending Imagination; Or, An Approach to Music and Symbolism during the Russian Silver Age A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Musicology by Ryan Isao Rowen 2015 © Copyright by Ryan Isao Rowen 2015 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Transcending Imagination; Or, An Approach to Music and Symbolism during the Russian Silver Age by Ryan Isao Rowen Doctor of Philosophy in Musicology University of California, Los Angeles, 2015 Professor Mitchell Bryan Morris, Chair The Silver Age has long been considered one of the most vibrant artistic movements in Russian history. Due to sweeping changes that were occurring across Russia, culminating in the 1917 Revolution, the apocalyptic sentiments of the general populace caused many intellectuals and artists to turn towards esotericism and occult thought. With this, there was an increased interest in transcendentalism, and art was becoming much more abstract. The tenets of the Russian Symbolist movement epitomized this trend. Poets and philosophers, such as Vladimir Solovyov, Andrei Bely, and Vyacheslav Ivanov, theorized about the spiritual aspects of words and music. It was music, however, that was singled out as possessing transcendental properties. In recent decades, there has been a surge in scholarly work devoted to the transcendent strain in Russian Symbolism. The end of the Cold War has brought renewed interest in trying to understand such an enigmatic period in Russian culture. While much scholarship has been ii devoted to Symbolist poetry, there has been surprisingly very little work devoted to understanding how the soundscape of music works within the sphere of Symbolism.

  • The Pedagogical Legacy of Johann Nepomuk Hummel
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: THE PEDAGOGICAL LEGACY OF JOHANN NEPOMUK HUMMEL. Jarl Olaf Hulbert, Doctor of Philosophy, 2006 Directed By: Professor Shelley G. Davis School of Music, Division of Musicology & Ethnomusicology Johann Nepomuk Hummel (1778-1837), a student of Mozart and Haydn, and colleague of Beethoven, made a spectacular ascent from child-prodigy to pianist- superstar. A composer with considerable output, he garnered enormous recognition as piano virtuoso and teacher. Acclaimed for his dazzling, beautifully clean, and elegant legato playing, his superb pedagogical skills made him a much sought after and highly paid teacher. This dissertation examines Hummel’s eminent role as piano pedagogue reassessing his legacy. Furthering previous research (e.g. Karl Benyovszky, Marion Barnum, Joel Sachs) with newly consulted archival material, this study focuses on the impact of Hummel on his students. Part One deals with Hummel’s biography and his seminal piano treatise, Ausführliche theoretisch-practische Anweisung zum Piano- Forte-Spiel, vom ersten Elementar-Unterrichte an, bis zur vollkommensten Ausbildung, 1828 (published in German, English, French, and Italian). Part Two discusses Hummel, the pedagogue; the impact on his star-students, notably Adolph Henselt, Ferdinand Hiller, and Sigismond Thalberg; his influence on musicians such as Chopin and Mendelssohn; and the spreading of his method throughout Europe and the US. Part Three deals with the precipitous decline of Hummel’s reputation, particularly after severe attacks by Robert Schumann. His recent resurgence as a musician of note is exemplified in a case study of the changes in the appreciation of the Septet in D Minor, one of Hummel’s most celebrated compositions.

Wolf displayed much musical promise, primarily within the realms of violin and piano. Although music exerted an influence over Wolf, school did not. Throughout his life, Wolf exercised a rebellion against many scholastic institutions, including the Conservatory of Vienna; this was his third school from which he withdrew. Having escaped school, Hugo Wolf attempted to make a living in many trades, including teaching piano and accompanying various other artists. Although he became a “Jack of All Trades,” a steady income was not reaching Wolf, and he continued on living in poverty. Wolf did excel as a music critic, a profession that did supply a small income and yet Wolf earned resentment from his musical colleagues. The harsh criticisms that flew from the quick-witted critic alienated certain musicians who in return refused Wolf any help.
