  • The Synthesis of Jazz and Classical Styles in Three Piano Works of Nikolai Kapustin
    THE SYNTHESIS OF JAZZ AND CLASSICAL STYLES IN THREE PIANO WORKS OF NIKOLAI KAPUSTIN __________________________________________________ A monograph Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board __________________________________________________________ in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS __________________________________________________________ by Tatiana Abramova August 2014 Examining Committee Members: Dr. Charles Abramovic, Advisory Chair, Professor of Piano Harvey Wedeen, Professor of Piano Dr. Cynthia Folio, Professor of Music Studies Richard Oatts, External Member, Professor, Artistic Director of Jazz Studies ABSTRACT The Synthesis of Jazz and Classical Styles in Three Piano Works of Nikolai Kapustin Tatiana Abramova Doctor of Musical Arts Temple University, 2014 Doctoral Advisory Committee Chair: Dr. Charles Abramovic The music of the Russian-Ukrainian composer Nikolai Kapustin is a fascinating synthesis of jazz and classical idioms. Kapustin has explored many existing traditional classical forms in conjunction with jazz. Among his works are: 20 piano sonatas, Suite in the Old Style, Op.28, preludes, etudes, variations, and six piano concerti. The most significant work in this regard is a cycle of 24 Preludes and Fugues, Op. 82, which was completed in 1997. He has also written numerous works for different instrumental ensembles and for orchestra. Well-known artists, such as Steven Osborn and Marc-Andre Hamelin have made a great contribution by recording Kapustin's music with Hyperion, one of the major recording companies. Being a brilliant pianist himself, Nikolai Kapustin has also released numerous recordings of his own music. Nikolai Kapustin was born in 1937 in Ukraine. He started his musical career as a classical pianist. In 1961 he graduated from the Moscow Conservatory, studying with the legendary pedagogue, Professor of Moscow Conservatory Alexander Goldenweiser, one of the greatest founders of the Russian piano school.

  • Lyubov Orlova: Stalinism’S Shining Star,’ Senses of Cinema, Issue 23: the Female Actor, December 2002
    Dina Iordanova, ‘Lyubov Orlova: Stalinism’s Shining Star,’ Senses of Cinema, Issue 23: The Female Actor, December 2002. Available: https://www.sensesofcinema.com/2002/the-female-actor/orlova/ Lyubov Orlova: Stalinism’s Shining Star Dina Iordanova Issue 23 A Lyubov Orlova filmography appears at the bottom of this article. A misguided assumption about Soviet cinema, which still persists, is that it’s a national cinema mostly comprised of depressing war dramas in which popular genres were neglected and even suppressed. This is certainly not the picture of Soviet cinema I remember when, 1 growing up in 1960s Bulgaria, I could enjoy a fair share of popular films, like the Soviet action-adventure Neulovimyye mstiteli/The Elusive Avengers (1966) or Yuri Nikulin’s superb comedies, all playing in theatres alongside the comedies of Louis de Funès or Raj Kapoor’s ever-popular weepy Awara/The Vagabond (1951). A highlight was Eldar Ryazanov’s musical, Karnavalnaya noch/Carnival Night (1956), with Lyudmila Gurchenko’s unforgettable dancing and singing. Made several years before I was even born, Carnival Night was so popular that by the time I started watching movies it was still regularly playing in theatres as well as being shown on television. Here, a buoyant and beautiful Lydmila Gurchenko leads a group of amateur actors to undermine the plans of the Culture Ministry and its boring leadership in order to turn a New Year’s Eve celebration into an exciting vibrant extravaganza, with confetti, sparklers and crackers. It was only later, in my teenage years when I started visiting the Sofia Cinémathèque, that I realized how Carnival Night in many aspects replicated Grigoriy Aleksandrov’s musical extravaganzas of the 1930s.

  • LUISA MILLER Opera Company Stages Verdi’S Seldom-Performed Melodrama Saturday
    Sandel: Equality is the key to the common good, Page B3 The Chautauquan Daily One Dollar Chautauqua, New York The Official Newspaper of Chautauqua Institution | Weekend Edition July 9 & 10, 2011 Volume CXXXV, Issue 13 LUISA MILLER Opera Company stages Verdi’s seldom-performed melodrama Saturday Josh Cooper | Staff Writer Photo | Ellie Haugsby ex, rivalry, secret identities, extor- tion, poisonings, sword fights and murder. Sound like a typical evening in Chautauqua? SThese may not be normal occurrences in this placid town, but Saturday is an excep- tion, as the melodrama of Giuseppe Verdi’s Luisa Miller explodes across the Amphithe- ater stage in operatic proportions. For one night only, the Chautauqua Opera Company will stage this rarely performed oeuvre of the 19th-century Italian composer. Verdi’s melodramma tragico in tre atti, as the librettist describes it, was first heard in Naples in 1849. It is based on the play of Friedrich von Schil- ler, “Kabale und Liebe,” which, loosely translated, means “Politics and Passion.” The story is full of over-the-top drama. Jay Lesenger, the Chautauqua Opera Com- pany’s artistic/general director, said the size of the story fits the size of the stage. “It’s larger than life,” Lesenger said. “I think that’s great for the Amphitheater because it’s a larger-than-life venue.” The Drama The scene is Tyrol, in what we now know as Austria, in the 1700s. Luisa is the daughter of a soldier, and she is in love with a man who the town knows as Carlo, but who is really Rodolfo, the son of the powerful Count Walter.

  • Asymmetric Warfare: Cold War Cinema in the Soviet Union and the United States
    Andrey Shcherbenok Columbia University Asymmetric Warfare: Cold War Cinema in the Soviet Union and the United States In this paper, I will address the similarities and differences in the way Soviet and American cinema represented and, in the same move, waged the Cold War;1 in particular, I will consider how the enemy – the other side of the conflict – was portrayed. Although this portrayal varied considerably from film to film and from one historic period to another in both cinemas, I will try to demonstrate that it also reflected deeper and much more persistent ideological matrixes. This persistency allows me to claim that each side's Cold War films were not merely ad hoc propaganda statements designed to promote this or that expedient political agenda but also reflected fundamental differences in the way both countries conceptualized the global conflict. Despite the symmetry largely maintained by the two superpowers in military terms, on cinema screens the United States and the Soviet Union each waged its own very different Cold War. *** Richard Hofstadter argues in "The Paranoid Style of American Politics" that in the paranoid style of political thinking "the enemy is not caught in the toils of the vast mechanism of history, himself a victim of his past, his desires, his limitations. He is a free, active, demonic agent."2 This description applies very well to the way the Soviet enemy is portrayed in American films in the late 1940s and throughout the 1950s. The main characteristic of this enemy is the total absence of internal differences – Soviet government, Soviet Union as a nation, Russians as the people, former or current members of American Communists Party and other leftist organizations in the United States, are all portrayed as the units of the totality whose main and only goal is the total destruction of the free world and enslavement of freedom-loving Americans.

History February 2014 In my master's thesis I study the society of the 1930s Soviet Union through its film culture's relation to the pre-revolutionary folk culture's traditional tale telling. My aim is to find out how the pre- revolutionary culture was reflected in the films. On the one hand the study approaches this question through the official Soviet concepts of the 1930s: the attempt to build a “new society” and through education create a whole “new man”. On the other hand, it supposes that hundreds of years of folk tradition will not simply vanish by the politicians setting such ambitious political aims. Therefore the aim is to study the films, a popular tool of education and definitely a representative of the officially sanctioned culture, in order to find out what traces were left of the pre-revolutionary culture in them and how they were used in the films. The conclusions drawn on this small sample can further be used to consider what actually was new in the new society and the new man.

Besides close formal analysis of the screened films, we will discuss the shifting artistic, cultural, historical, and ideological contexts in which these films were made, and their enduring relevance in current Russian and global contexts. All movies will be screened with English subtitles. All screenings are optional but recommended. Films will be placed on reserve at the QEII Library for review and/or are available on the internet, in which case links will be provided on d2l. Course Objectives This course aims to familiarize students with Russian and Soviet film until the death of director Sergei Eisenstein in 1948, with emphasis on films from the twenties and thirties. We will develop a robust way of talking about film in its own terms, and develop a way of understanding the reciprocal relationship between film and their contexts.

    MATVEY NIKOLAEVSKY: A LIGHT-MUSIC MASTER REDISCOVERED by Anthony Phillips History – not least the tangled cultural history of Soviet Russia – has not been kind to the gifted Matvey Nikolaevsky. Yet on 27 May 1938, at the peak of his popularity in the 1920s and ’30s, an astonishing array of the cream of Soviet musical life filled the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatoire to celebrate the 35th anniversary of Nikolaevsky’s artistic career – although his handwritten autobiographical résumé reveals that his working life had begun much earlier, at the age of twelve. His career embraced distinction as pianist, as composer of a string of universally known and loved ballads, popular songs, dance numbers, orchestral marches and genre pieces, and as a much-respected piano teacher with several books of keyboard technique instruction to his credit. One at least such tutor, entitled Conservatoire [i.e., ‘correct’] Positioning of the Hand on the Piano, first appearing in 1917, has been republished countless times, is in print and is widely used to this day. Among the famous names from the world of music, opera and ballet taking part in the 1938 gala concert were the composers Reinhold Glière and Sergei Vasilenko; the conductors Nikolai Golovanov (music director of the Bolshoi Theatre), Yuri Feier, Alexander Melik-Pashayev and Samuil Samosud; the pianist Alexander Goldenweiser, then Rector of the Moscow Conservatoire; the prodigy violinist Busya Goldstein; a clutch of the Soviet Union’s most celebrated singers: the sopranos Antonina Nezhdanova and Maria
