Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), May 2009. Romanian music during the second half of the twentieth century was influenced by the socio-politic environment. During the Communist era, composers struggled among the official ideology, synchronizing with Western compositional trends of the time, and following their own natural style. With the appearance of great instrumentalists like clarinetist Aurelian Octav Popa, composers began writing valuable works that increased the quality and the quantity of the repertoire for this instrument. Works written for clarinet during the second half of the twentieth century represent a wide variety of styles, mixing elements from Western traditions with local elements of concert and folk music. While the four works discussed in this document are demanding upon one’s interpretative abilities and technically challenging, they are also musically rewarding. iii I wish to thank Ioana Hărșian, Voicu Hărșian, Roxana Oberșterescu, Ilie Oberșterescu and Michele Abbott for their patience and support.

Q&A with Andy Saunders from Rookh Quartet and composers Jane Stanley and Drew Hammond after the performance Programme notes Jamie Keesecker: The Impetuous Winds (2008) The Impetuous Winds was written in 2008 for a composition workshop with visiting horn quartet Quadre, whilst horn player Jamie Keesecker was studying for his Masters in composition at the University of Oregon. Quadre were struck by the drama and excitement in the work, and took it into their repertoire, including it on their album ‘Our Time’. The whole range of the instrument is covered – almost 4 octaves – and there is a vast array of colour and contrast in the piece. The punchy opening uses the quartet as a mini-big band at times, with rhythmic drive and thick, luscious harmonies. The central section of the work has a long melodic line, which never quite goes in the expected direction, and there are echoes of Mahler’s horn writing in the duet that sits over a muted figure from two of the players.

  • Pioneering Conductor Odaline De La Martinez Co-Curates Trailblazing Juilliard Focus Festival Acknowledging Early 20Th-Century Women Composers
    Pioneering conductor Odaline de la Martinez co-curates trailblazing Juilliard Focus Festival acknowledging early 20th-century women composers Marking the centenary of women’s suffrage in the USA Friday 24 January – Friday 31 January Trailblazers – Pioneering Women Composers of the 20th Century Peter Jay Sharp Theater & Alice Tully Hall Lincoln Center, New York Featuring music by 32 women composers from 15 countries on five continents “The exact worth of my music will probably not be known till nought remains of the writer but sexless dots and lines on ruled paper.” Ethel Smyth (1858-1944) Highlighting the pioneering writing of 20th-century women composers, composer- conductor Odaline de la Martinez co-curates Trailblazers — Pioneering Women Composers of the 20th Century – a Festival she leads alongside Festival Founder Joel Sachs. The Juilliard Focus 2020 Festival celebrates the centenary of women’s suffrage in the USA, with the Nineteenth Amendment first giving women the vote in 1920. Under co-curator Martinez, the Festival will this year advocate expressly on behalf of historical women composers to overcome the magnified problems they faced in establishing themselves as professional composers in the twentieth century and paving the way for those who followed. Inadequate archives mean many have been almost entirely neglected following their deaths; others, such as Rebecca Clarke (1886-1979), gave up composing upon marriage: “There’s nothing in the world more thrilling, or practically nothing. But you can’t do it – at least I can’t, maybe that’s where a woman’s different – unless it’s the first thing I think of every morning when I wake and the last thing I think of every night before I got to sleep.” – Rebecca Clarke Decades after composition, many pieces will be given American or New York premieres and performed for the first time in the young Juilliard performers’ lifetimes.

  • The 1963 Berlin Philharmonie – a Breakthrough Architectural Vision
    PRZEGLĄD ZACHODNI I, 2017 BEATA KORNATOWSKA Poznań THE 1963 BERLIN PHILHARMONIE – A BREAKTHROUGH ARCHITECTURAL VISION „I’m convinced that we need (…) an approach that would lead to an interpretation of the far-reaching changes that are happening right in front of us by the means of expression available to modern architecture.1 Walter Gropius The Berlin Philharmonie building opened in October of 1963 and designed by Hans Scharoun has become one of the symbols of both the city and European musical life. Its character and story are inextricably linked with the history of post-war Berlin. Construction was begun thanks to the determination and un- stinting efforts of a citizens initiative – the Friends of the Berliner Philharmo- nie (Gesellschaft der Freunde der Berliner Philharmonie). The competition for a new home for the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra (Berliner Philharmonisches Orchester) was won by Hans Scharoun whose design was brave and innovative, tailored to a young republic and democratic society. The path to turn the design into reality, however, was anything but easy. Several years were taken up with political maneuvering, debate on issues such as the optimal location, financing and the suitability of the design which brought into question the traditions of concert halls including the old Philharmonie which was destroyed during bomb- ing raids in January 1944. A little over a year after the beginning of construction the Berlin Wall appeared next to it. Thus, instead of being in the heart of the city, as had been planned, with easy access for residents of the Eastern sector, the Philharmonie found itself on the outskirts of West Berlin in the close vicinity of a symbol of the division of the city and the world.

  • The German Library System: Structure and New Developments
    The German Library System: structure and new developments Claudia Lux Introduction The Federal Republic of Germany is situated in the centre of Eu- rope. The Republic has sixteen Federal States. Germany’s capital is Berlin. Altogether, there are more than 16,200 communities, including villages, counties, towns and cities, with more than 12,000 public libraries and about 2,000 general research and special libraries. Germany has existed in its present form only since the unification of West Germany and East Germany in 1990. The two very differ- ent states had two very different political systems, one being em- bedded in the Western bloc with the United States and the other within the Eastern bloc with the Soviet Union. This had a great impact on the library system in each part of the country, evident in different classification systems, different types of libraries and library methods. During the last 12 years this has changed signifi- cantly, and the differences between East and West have been di- Claudia Lux obtained a PhD in minishing, even though they may not yet have disappeared Sinology from the University of altogether.
