Ludwig yax Beethovkn (Born at Bonn, December 16 (?), 1770; died at Vienna, March 26, 1827) BeethoYen arrived at Vienna to make that city his dwelling place in November, 1792. He was best known at that time as a pianist, praised especially for his impromptu playing. (He had visited Vienna in the spring of 1787. ) Before 1785, he had made a sketch of a symphony in C minor. In 1909, Professor Fritz Stein, musical director of the University of Jena, announced that he had discovered the complete parts of a symphony in C major, with Beethoven's name, written by a copyist on the second violin and violoncello parts. The significance of these inscriptions was hotly disputed in Germany. Hugo Biemann thought the symphony might be Bee- thoven's. Others pooh-poohed the idea. One critic went so far to say that this music was six-eighths Haydn ; one-eighth Mozart ; one- sixteenth of the later Beethoven and one-sixteenth hinting at a com- poser still to come, as Schubert. This symphony was performed at Jena on January IT, 1910. It is probable that Beethoven meditated a symphony in C minor there are sketches for the first movement. Xottebohm, studying them, came to the conclusion that Beethoven worked on this sym- phony in 1794 or early in 1795. He then abandoned it and composed the one in C major. Whether he used material designed for the abandoned one in C minor, or invented fresh material, this is cer- fiotels of Distinction NEW YORK and BOSTON — jto,. ^^— - 0$, THE MW \Copley-Plaza A * Arthur MANAGING l\ Boston The Plaza Fred SterRY President John D.Owen Manage NewYork tain: that the concert at which the Symphony in C major was played i'or the first time was announced in the Wiener Zeitung, March 26, 1800. It should be observed, however, that one of the phrases in the sketches for the earlier symphony bears a close resemblance to the opening phrase of the allegro molto in the finale of the one in C major. There are some who think that Beethoven composed a few symphonies in Bonn. The symphony in C major, No. 1, probably originated in 1800 ; was sketched at an earlier period and elaborated in 1799. This symphony is scored for two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, two horns, two trumpets, kettledrums, and strings. Suite in F major, Op. 33 ... Albert Charles Paul Roussel (Born at Turcoing, France, on April 5, 1869; now living in Paris) This "Suite en Fa" was composed in 1926. The first sketches were made in March; the score was completed on August 21. "The com- poser had no literary program in mind while writing his work. It is *de la musique pure.' Three movements of the Suite, Prelude, Sara- bande, and Gigue are well in accordance with the classical form. The Prelude has, however, more than usually elaborated development." The score is dedicated to Serge Koussevitzky. The Suite was com- posed for performance by the Boston Symphony Orchestra conducted by him. The Suite is still in manuscript. 1770 LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN WL As an interpreter of the piano works of the great master no one has won greater renown than EUGEN D'ALBERT who for two decades has been the undisputed Beethoven player par excellence. With full freedom of choice he selected from the rich heritage of piano music Beethoven left to the world the material for two splendid volumes in The Musicians Library The "little giant of the piano" did far more than finger and phrase these notable works—he gave in copious footnotes explicit information as to his interpretation of them. In no other form, in no other volumes, can such an authoritative exposition be found. An elaborate critical Preface and extended bibliography open the volumes.

Volume I Music is a language that can be used to express a vast range of ideas and emotions. It has been part of the human experience since before recorded history, and has established a unique place in our consciousness, and in our hearts by expressing that which words alone cannot express. ii My individual interest in the musical language is its use in telling stories, and in particular in the form of composition referred to as program music; music that tells a story on its own without the aid of images, dance or text. The topic of this dissertation follows this line of interest with specific focus on the compositional techniques and creative approach that divide program music across a representational spectrum from literal to abstract.

BUTLER JOURNAL OF UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH, VOLUME 7 MUSICAL HYBRIDIZATION AND POLITICAL CONTRADICTION: THE SUCCESS OF ARTHUR HONEGGER’S ANTIGONE IN VICHY FRANCE EMMA K. SCHUBART, UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA, CHAPEL HILL MENTOR: SHARON JAMES Abstract Arthur Honegger’s modernist opera Antigone appeared at the Paris Opéra in 1943, sixteen years after its unremarkable premiere in Brussels. The sudden Parisian success of the opera was extraordinary: the work was enthusiastically received by the French public, the Vichy collaborationist authorities, and the occupying Nazi officials. The improbable wartime triumph of Antigone can be explained by a unique confluence of compositional, political, and cultural realities. Honegger’s compositional hybridization of French and German musical traditions, as well as his opportunistic commercial motivations as a Swiss composer working in German-occupied France, certainly aided the success of the opera.

Literature available on Honegger’s Cello Concerto suggests this concerto is often considered as a composition that resonates with Les Six traditions. While reflecting currents of Les Six, the Cello Concerto also features departures from Erik Satie’s and Jean Cocteau’s ideal for French composers to return to simplicity. Both characteristics of and departures from Les Six examined in this concerto include metric organization, thematic and rhythmic development, melodic wedge shapes, contrapuntal techniques, simplicity in orchestration, diatonicism, the use of humor, jazz influences, and other unique performance techniques.
