It was conducted by Herbeck at a concert of the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Vienna, December 17, 1865. The orchestration: 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, 3 trombones, timpani and strings. "That incomparable song of sorrow which we wrong every time we call it 'Unfinished.'"—Alfred Einstein. npHE bare facts of Schubert's "Unfinished" Symphony are soon told. * It was on April 10, 1823, some months after he had composed the two movements, that his friend Johann Baptist Jenger put up his name for honorary membership of the Styrian Music Society at Graz on the grounds that "although still young, he has already proved by his compositions that he will some day rank high as a composer." * This on the basis that it was the last to be found although it was composed before the great C major Symphony. The posthumous C major has been variously numbered 7, 8, 9, or 10 by those who have variously accepted or rejected the so-called "Gastein Symphony," which has been believed by some to be a lost symphony, and the fragmentary sections for a symphony in E (1821), which Felix Weingartner filled out into a full score. Fortunately the "Unfinished" Symphony, easily identified by its name and key, can be left numberless. PROGRAM BULLETINS FOR OUR RADIO LISTENERS The increasing size of our radio audience has prompted a plan whereby anyone interested may receive the program bulletin each week on the basis of a magazine subscription. The programs will be sent by first class mail each Thursday preceding the Friday and Saturday concerts. The subscription for the balance of the season 1959- 1960 is $3.00.

In order that I may also express in musical terms my lively sense of gratitude, I shall take the liberty, at the earliest opportunity, of presenting your honorable Society with one of my symphonies in full score. Alfred Einstein in his invaluable book, Schubert, a Musical Portrait, has deduced that Schubert presented the already composed symphony to Anselm Hiittenbrenner, the director of the Society, in gratitude on receiving from him the diploma of membership, rather than to the Society itself. Mr. Einstein further believed "it is also quite unthink- able that Schubert with all his tact and discretion would ever have presented the Society with an unfinished fragment." From then on, as records indicate, Schubert neither spoke nor thought about it again. Anselm who, like his brother Joseph, had done much to promote a recognition of Schubert, and had attempted (unsuccessfully) to produce his friend's latest opera Alfonso and Estrella at Graz in this year, seems to have done nothing at all about the Symphony. It lay stuffed away and unregarded among his papers for many years, whence it might well have been lost and never known to the world. In 1865, in his old age, and thirty-seven years after Schubert's death, he delivered it to Johann Herbeck for performance by the "Friends of Music Society" in Vienna. The world, discovering some forty-three years post facto a "master- piece," which, for all its qualities, is but half a symphony, has indulged in much conjecture. Did Schubert break off after the second movement on account of sudden failure of inspiration, or because he was careless of the work (which he certainly seems to have been) and did not realize the degree of lyric rapture which he had captured in those two move- ments? Or perhaps it was because he realized after a listless attempt at a scherzo that what he had written was no typical symphonic opening movement and contrasting slow movement, calling for the relief of a In this relatively democratic age, almost anyone can have # an account — checking, trust or savings — with Cambridge Trust Company.

PROGRAM Le tombeau de Couperin Maurice Ravel Prelude Forlane Menuet Rigaudon Ostensibly this music represents neoclassic expression in its purest distillate. And it was, indeed, conceived as a pianistic idealization of the clavecin aesthetic exemplified by Francois Couperin le Crand. But that was in the fateful summer of 1914, and even Ravel's sleepy St. Jean-de-Luz was traumatized by the news of Archduke Francis Ferdinand's assassination at Sarajevo. France mobilized overnight, and by August was at war. By then the sketches for Le tombeau de Couperin were in a desk drawer. When he returned to them three wretched years later the composer was a very different man, broken in health and shattered emotionally by the loss of his mother, who had died barely a week after his medical discharge. Thus it was that the six movements became as many 'tomb- stones' (each one inscribed separately) for friends and regimental comrads who had been killed on the Western Front. As a work for solo piano—Ravel's last, incidentally—Le tombeau was not a notable success. Strictly speaking it could not have been because it marked a stylistic retrogression after the harmonic leaps forward in the Valse nobles et sentimentales and Gas-pard de la nuit. But fortu- nately that was not the end of the matter.

Jaj, anyám, a vakaró (Csenyéte) Daniel Sender is currently the concertmaster of the Charlottesville Symphony and the Charlottesville Opera, as well as associate violin professor at UVA. Sender studied at Ithaca College, the University of Maryland–where he received his PhD, the Liszt Academy (Budapest) and the Institute for European Studies (Vienna). His scholarship in Hungarian music began when he was awarded a Fulbright Student Scholar grant for his research in Budapest (2010-11), where he attended the Liszt Academy as a student of Vilmos Szabadi and became interested in Hungarian Roma folk music. (Note: unless otherwise stated, assume “Hungary” in terms of folk music geographically refers to the late Austro-Hungarian Empire which existed prior to the Treaty of Trianon. At the end of WWI, the Treaty of Trianon split 75% of Austro-Hungary’s territory up into modern day Romania, Czechoslovakia, Austria, and the Balkans.) The Roma people in Hungary–also known as Romani people, and previously, “gypsies,” though that term is now considered outdated slang, are the largest minority group in Hungary, making up between 3 and 7% of the population. There is a clear cultural divide between those who consider themselves native Hungarians, and Roma people. A large proportion of the Roma population lives in extreme poverty and faces constant racial discrimination, while the European Union and Hungarian officials are only just beginning to take accountability.

  • Ronald Roseman: a Biographical Description and Study of His Teaching Methodology
    LAMPIDIS, ANNA, D.M.A. Ronald Roseman: A Biographical Description and Study of his Teaching Methodology. (2008) Directed by Dr. Mary Ashley Barret. 103 pp. Ronald Roseman was an internationally acclaimed oboe soloist, chamber musician, teacher, recording artist, and composer whose career spanned over 40 years. A renowned oboist, he performed in some of America’s most influential institutions and ensembles including the New York Woodwind Quintet, the New York Philharmonic, and the New York Bach Aria Group. His contributions to 20th Century oboe pedagogy through his own unique teaching methodology enabled him to contribute to the success of both his own personal students and many others in the field of oboe and woodwind performance. His body of compositions that include oboe as well as other instruments and voice serve to encapsulate his career as a noteworthy 20th Century composer. Roseman’s musicianship and unique teaching style continues to be admired and respected worldwide by oboists and musicians. The purpose of this study is to present a biographical overview and pedagogical techniques of oboist Ronald Roseman. This study will be divided into sections about his early life, teaching career, performance career and his pedagogical influence upon his students. Exercises and techniques developed by Roseman for the enhancement of oboe pedagogy will also be included. Interviews have been conducted with his wife and three former well-known students in order to better serve the focus of this study. The author also contributed pedagogical techniques compiled during a two-year period of study with Roseman. Appendices include a discography of recorded materials, the New York Woodwind Quintet works list, Roseman’s published article on Baroque Ornamentation, a list of his compositions with premiere dates and performers, and interview questions.
