On this occasion, and also with his 90th birthday on 20 July 2017 in mind, it is time to listen to the different phases of a long conducting career. The Michael Gielen EDITION offers this opportunity. It comprises several volumes of varying size, dedicated to individual composers – Beethoven, Bruckner, Brahms, Mahler, Bartók, Stravinsky, Schoenberg, Berg and Webern – and others focusing on major historical periods: from Bach to Schubert; from Carl Maria von Weber to Sergei Rachmaninov; late Romantic or early modern works, while another volume is devoted to compositions written after the Second World War. The recordings presented here are from the archives of the former South German Radio, Stuttgart (SDR) and Southwestern Radio, Baden-Baden (SWF), as well as their successor organizations SWR, and Saarland radio (SR) – that is, recordings from a period of over 50 years: from the mid-1960s to Gielen’s last concert with the SWR Symphony Orchestra of Baden-Baden and Freiburg in January 2014.

    Conducting Studies Conference 2016

    Conducting Studies Conference 2016 24th – 26th June St Anne’s College University of Oxford Conducting Studies Conference 2016 24-26 June, St Anne’s College WELCOME It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to St Anne’s College and the Oxford Conducting Institute Conducting Studies Conference 2016. The conference brings together 44 speakers from around the globe presenting on a wide range of topics demonstrating the rich and multifaceted realm of conducting studies. The practice of conducting has significant impact on music-making across a wide variety of ensembles and musical contexts. While professional organizations and educational institutions have worked to develop the field through conducting masterclasses and conferences focused on professional development, and academic researchers have sought to explicate various aspects of conducting through focussed studies, there has yet to be a space where this knowledge has been brought together and explored as a cohesive topic. The OCI Conducting Studies Conference aims to redress this by bringing together practitioners and researchers into productive dialogue, promoting practice as research and raising awareness of the state of research in the field of conducting studies. We hope that this conference will provide a fruitful exchange of ideas and serve as a lightning rod for the further development of conducting studies research.

    19 by Gianmario Borio* Among the Early Sources Preserved in The

    Beiträge Mauricio Kagel’s Analysis of Schoenberg’s Phantasy for Violin with Piano Accompaniment op. 47 by Gianmario Borio* Among the early sources preserved in the Mauricio Kagel Collection is a dossier dedicated to Schoenberg’s Phantasy op. 47, containing an annotated copy of the score, a series of notes on various aspects of its compositional technique, some annotated samples, and a rough draft of a text most likely intended for publication. This material can only be dated hypothetically on the basis of historical evidence. On August 7, 1953, the Phantasy was per- formed at a concert organized by the Agrupación Nueva Música, in which Kagel participated as a pianist; a fleeting reference to the first book by Allen Forte, seen at the bottom of the table of transpositions, allows us to define the dossier’s terminus post quem; lastly, the language used in the notes, considered along with their underlying topics, seems to rule out the possi- bility that they were written during his early years in Germany.1 Kagel’s analysis reveals much about the set of problems with which he was dealing during the composition of Sexteto de cuerdas and the first version of Anagra- ma.2 It also sheds light on the origin of some of the more durable premises of his thought and, on a more general level, represents a significant episode in the reception of the Phantasy itself. * This article originated as part of the project Composers Analysing Other Composers, on which I have been working for a number of years. The first results of the project were pub- lished in “L’analyse musicale comme processus d’appropriation historique: Webern à Darmstadt,” in Circuit: Musiques contemporaines, 15 (2005), no.

Mr. Pintscher will open the concert with the World Premiere of one of three works by composers discovered through the assistance of the EarShot National Orchestral Composition Discovery Network. “It is very moving for me to be given the honor of performing Carter’s last finished orchestral composition, Instances, in New York, since he and the Philharmonic have a long history together,” Matthias Pintscher said. “When I was looking at the score for Instances, I was reminded of Giuseppe Verdi, as both he and Carter brought a lightness and freshness to the musical compositions of their old age. Carter’s music is beautifully transparent, highly expressive, and at ease with itself without ever losing its directness of expression. My own work on this program, Reflections on Narcissus, is less a cello concerto than a symphonic and virtuosic dialogue between a solo cello and a huge orchestra.

    Jan Dewilde Paper 2009

    Frank Van der Stucken (1858-1929): a friend of Grieg and translator of his songs Lecture for International Edvard Grieg Conference, Berlin, 13-16 May 2009 This paper fits in with a research project that is presently being implemented in the library of the Royal Conservatoire of Antwerp about the composer-conductor Frank Van der Stucken. The library preserves a large collection of scores and documents of Van der Stucken, which form the basis of this research. The contacts between Edvard Grieg and the Flemish composer-pianist Arthur De Greef (1862-1940), who met in 1888, are well documented, but the piano virtuoso De Greef wasn’t Grieg’s first Flemish contact. One decade before, Grieg had already got to know an American composer with Flemish roots, namely Frank Van der Stucken. Frank Van der Stucken was born in 1858 in Fredericksburg, Texas, as the son of a Flemish father and a German mother.1 When the Secession War (1861-1865) had finished, the family no longer felt safe in Texas and in 1865 they returned to father Van der Stucken’s native town of Antwerp (Belgium). There Van der Stucken junior studied at the Flemish School of Music – the later Royal Flemish Conservatoire. He was a student of the director Peter Benoit (1834-1901), the standard bearer of nationalist music in Flanders. After his studies with Benoit, Van der Stucken went to Leipzig in 1878, like so many of his contemporaries, with a view to continuing his formation with Carl Reinecke. That’s where he first met Grieg, who became his friend.
