Telephone Ashland 9530 ; Overture, "Portsmouth Point' William Turner Walton (Born at Oldham, Lancashire, England, on March 29, 1902; now living in London) This overture was performed for the first time at the third concert of the International Society for New Music on June 22, 1926, in the larger room of the Tonhall, Zurich, Switzerland. Volkmar Andrae of Zurich conducted the overture. The first performance in the United States was by the Boston Symphony Orchestra in Boston, Dr. Koussevitzky, conductor, on November 19, 1926; there was a second performance on January 3, 1930. The programme of the Zurich concert also comprised Hindemith's Con- certo for orchestra, Op. 38 (Fritz Busch, conductor) ; Casella's Partita for piano and orchestra (Walter Gieseking, pianist ; Casella, conductor) Levy's Fifth Symphony for violin (Willem de Boer), trumpet (Ernst Sodling), and . orchestra (Andrae, conductor); Webern's Five Pieces for orchestra, Op. 10 (Webern, conductor); Ferroud's "Foules" for orchestra (Walther Straram, conductor); Tansman's "Dance de la Sorciere" (Gregor Fitelberg, conductor). Mr. Walton has sent to us the following note, signed "C. L.": "The title 'Portsmouth Point' is taken from a print by the great English caricaturist Thomas Rowlandson (1756-1827), representing a quayside in the utmost confusion. The music, which is remarkable for its exuberant melodic outline and exhilarating rhythmic syncopation, is so lucid as to render analysis superfluous. The overture enjoys the distinction of being the only work chosen to represent England at the International Festival at Zurich in 1926." IALYTIC SYMPHONY SERIES Edited by Percy Goetschius, Mus. Doc. An analytic edition of the master symphonies, sym- phonic poems, and classic overtures, arranged for the piano, two hands. Designed for analysis and apprecia- tion classes and for all students of music in its higher forms. Each volume contains a portrait and biograph- ical sketch of the composer, and a critique of his work The Latest Editions No. 16. TCHAIKOVSKY. Symphony No. 4, in F minor 1.00 No. 18. MOZART.

The follow- ing quotation from "The Portsmouth Road: The Sailors' Highway," by Charles G. Harper, describes the print: "Here, where the stone stairs lead down into the water, is Portsmouth Point. Mark it well, for from this spot have embarked countless fine fellows to serve King and country afloat. What would we not give for a moment's glimpse of 'Point' (as Portsmouth folk call it, with a brevity born of everyday use) just a hundred years ago!" (This book was first published in 1895. We quote from the second and revised edition, published in 1923 by Edwin Valentine Mitchell of Hartford, Conn.) "Fortunately, the genius of Rowlandson has preserved for us something of the appearance of Portsmouth Point at that time, when war raged over nearly all the civilized world, when wooden ships rode the waves buoyantly, when battles were the rule and peace the exception.

    The University of Sheffield Stravinsky’s piano works from three distinct periods: aspects of performance and latitude of interpretation Mengjiao Yan A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Music The University of Sheffield Jessop Building, Sheffield, S3 7RD, UK September 2019 1 Abstract This research project focuses on the piano works of Igor Stravinsky. This performance- orientated approach and analysis aims to offer useful insights into how to interpret and make informed decisions regarding his piano music. The focus is on three piano works: Piano Sonata in F-Sharp Minor (1904), Serenade in A (1925), Movements for Piano and Orchestra (1958–59). It identifies the key factors which influenced his works and his compositional process. The aims are to provide an informed approach to his piano works, which are generally considered difficult and challenging pieces to perform convincingly. In this way, it is possible to offer insights which could help performers fully understand his works and apply this knowledge to performance. The study also explores aspects of latitude in interpreting his works and how to approach the notated scores. The methods used in the study include document analysis, analysis of music score, recording and interview data. The interview participants were carefully selected professional pianists who are considered experts in their field and, therefore, authorities on Stravinsky's piano works. The findings of the results reveal the complex and multi-faceted nature of Stravinsky’s piano music. The research highlights both the intrinsic differences in the stylistic features of the three pieces, as well as similarities and differences regarding Stravinsky’s compositional approach.

  • The University of Hull the Early Career of Thomas
    THE UNIVERSITY OF HULL THE EARLY CAREER OF THOMAS, LORD HOWARD, EARL OF SURREY AND THIRD DUKE OF NORFOLK, 1474—c. 1525 being a Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of Hull by Susan Elisabeth Vokes, B.A. September, 1988 Acknowledgements I should like to thank the University of Hull for my postgraduate scholarship, and the Institute of Historical Research and Eliot College, the Universiy of Kent, for providing excellent facilities in recent years. I am especially grateful to the Duke of Norfolk and his archivists for giving me access to material in his possession. The staff of many other archives and libraries have been extremely helpful in answering detailed enquiries and helping me to locate documents, and / regret that it is not possible to acknowledge them individually. I am grateful to my supervisor, Peter Heath, for his patience, understanding and willingness to read endless drafts over the years in which this study has evolved. Others, too, have contributed much. Members of the Russell/Starkey seminar group at the Institute of Historical Research, and the Late Medieval seminar group at the University of Kent made helpful comments on a paper, and I have benefitted from suggestions, discussion, references and encouragement from many others, particularly: Neil Samman, Maria Dowling, Peter Gwynn, George Bernard, Greg Walker and Diarmaid MacCulloch. I am particularly grateful to several people who took the trouble to read and comment on drafts of various chapters. Margaret Condon and Anne Crawford commented on a draft of the first chapter, Carole Rawcliffe and Linda Clerk on my analysis of Norfolk's estate accounts, Steven Ellis on my chapters on Surrey in Ireland and in the north of England, and Roger Virgoe on much of the thesis, including all the East Anglian material.

Had really a good night’s rest, my hammock being hauled back, and my bedding comfortably arranged._ Hope to get to sea to-morrow._ Thursday August 10th._ Started from our anchorage at daylight + proceeded down the river and about 6 o’clock sent of the Pilot + stood out to sea._ Had no unpleasant sensations till bedtime when the rolling of the ship + closeness of the steerage, forced me to seek the deck minus stockings, cravat, + many other important little articles, and in rather a more hurried manner than I could have desired. However the fresh air soon revived me, and I slept in my overcoat on a hen coop very comfortably till 8 bells, 12 o’clock, when I went below and slept soundly till morning._ Unfortunately owing to my ailment I could not smoke and for almost the first time in my life, the sight of a cigar made

Le compositeur russe d’origine allemande Alfred Schnittke, grande figure de la musique soviétique dans les années 1970 et 1980, est considéré généra- lement comme l’un des principaux représentants du « postmodernisme » mu- sical, bien loin de la génération de Boulez, Stockhausen et Xenakis. Adepte du collage, du mélange des styles musicaux, des rencontres entre univers sonores apparemment hétérogènes (du rock à Bach), Schnittke a développé une forme d’écriture « polystylistique » qui a séduit de nombreux interprètes en Occident, tout en étant toléré en Union Soviétique.
