Perpetuating the ideas of Franz Liszt through excellence in music performance and scholarship PRESIDENT President’s Message Jay Hershberger* Concordia College Music Department Moorhead, MN 56562 [email protected] VICE PRESIDENT Alexandre Dossin* University of Oregon School of Music and Dance Eugene, OR 97403-1225 [email protected] Greetings, Fellow Lisztians! EXECUTIVE SECRETARY Justin Kolb* I trust that your summer provided you with much-needed rest, renewal, and repast with family, 1136 Hog Mountain Road friends, and colleagues at home, on vacation, or at the various festivals and summer music venues Fleischmanns, NY 12430 [email protected] inhabited by so many ALS members. My mind, heart, and soul still resonate with the musical memories generated by the recent ALS festival at Northwestern University. My heartfelt thanks go MEMBERSHIP SECRETARY to Dr. James Giles for his great artistic and administrative oversight of the festival. “Liszt and the Alexander Djordjevic* Orchestral Imagination” now joins the upper ranks of many of our past festivals. The bar remains PO Box 1020 Wheaton, IL 60187-1020 high for the future, and I am confident, as we look towards the festival at Furman University in [email protected] October of 2018, that the same artistic spirit that descended upon us at Northwestern and other past festivals will INHABIT our time together in South Carolina. More details will follow in TREASURER subsequent ALS newsletters and on the web. Daniel Paul Horn* I want to highlight The American Liszt Society’s commitment to students. Liszt knew all The American Liszt Society PO Box 1020 too well the need to mentor the next generation of musicians, whether performers, composers, Wheaton, IL 60187-1020 conductors, or teachers. The train of descendants he bequeathed to the next century remains [email protected] alive in the many dedicated artist/teachers across the continent and even the globe - a number of whom are ALS members - who are tireless in their commitment to students. The ALS honors this ALS JOURNAL Jonathan Kregor, Editor teaching commitment through its support of the Los Angeles International Liszt Competition Mary Emery Hall Room 4240 and the recently completed Franz Liszt Festival & International Piano Competition this fall at The Cincinnati College-Conservatory Ohio State University. Both of these competitions have, over the years, identified budding young PO Box 210003 artists who show an affinity for the music of Liszt. The Society has further encouraged these Cincinnati OH 45221-0003 young musicians in their growth by featuring them at our festivals. Also, local ALS chapter events [email protected] often focus upon students through recitals and masterclasses where they gain valuable insight ALS NEWSLETTER/WEBSITE and experience in their studies. All of these speak well of the Society’s commitment to the next Edward Rath, Editor/Webmaster* generation of our artistic descendants. Even so, there is always more that could be done to foster 2603 Coppertree Road such positive musical growth in our students. Champaign, IL 61822-7518 [email protected] I would like to invite all ALS members to consider what more the Society might do and be for the next generation of Lisztians. Are there creative ideas, yet untapped, that the Society could BOARD OF DIRECTORS ponder and act upon to further the growth of young musicians? Are there ways in which the Paul Barnes ALS could encourage further excellence in teaching, scholarship, and mentoring, whether for Luiz de Moura Castro students or teachers? What other kinds of support could our local chapters offer students? Can Alexander Djordjevic* Gabriel Dobner we use the ALS network to connect our students with their peers and with us? Our members Alexandre Dossin* are our most significant resource for mining and implementing ideas that might emerge from Gila Goldstein such consideration. One might paraphrase and re-imagine an old proverb thus: “Those who love Jay Hershberger* the music and ideals of Liszt spoke often with one another….” Conversation over ideas fosters Daniel Paul Horn* Geraldine Keeling further ideas, strengthens the bonds of our common cause, and renews and reinvigorates our Jonathan Kregor friendships and collegial cooperation. It is also a tried and true way of encouraging and mentoring Barbara Mellon Kolb our students. Justin Kolb* Finally, when thinking about the future, one must honor the past. G.K. Chesterton once Elyse J. Mach quipped that tradition is the democracy of the dead; giving your ancestors a vote. When I think Ksenia Nosikova Edward Rath* about the future of the ALS, I always reflect back upon the legacy, example, and model that Steven Spooner our beloved Lisztians of blessed memory left behind for us to carry forward. Just as Thomas Helen Smith Tarchalski Mastroianni and Fernando Laires had a lasting impact on all of us over the years, that impact Alan Walker inspires us to move forward. It is certain that their commitment to students was always above William Wellborn Richard Zimdars and beyond the call of duty, and so they challenge us to think about students. Our task is to think creatively about fresh ways to animate the spirit of their commitment to students in our teaching, *Member, Executive Committee scholarship, and performance, as well as our work as members of The American Liszt Society.

  • The Pianist's Freedom and the Work's Constrictions
    The Pianist’s Freedom and the Work’s Constrictions What Tempo Fluctuation in Bach and Chopin Indicate Alisa Yuko Bernhard A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Music (Performance) Sydney Conservatorium of Music University of Sydney 2017 Declaration I declare that the research presented here is my own original work and has not been submitted to any other institution for the award of a degree. Alisa Yuko Bernhard 10 November 2016 i Abstract The concept of the musical work has triggered much discussion: it has been defined and redefined, and at times attacked and deconstructed, by writers including Wolterstorff, Goodman, Levinson, Davies, Nattiez, Goehr, Abbate and Parmer, to name but a few. More often than not, it is treated either as an abstract sound-structure or, in contrast, as a culturally constructed concept, even a chimera. But what is a musical work to the performer, actively engaged in a “relationship” with the work he or she is interpreting? This question, not asked often enough in scholarship, can be used to yield fascinating insights into the ontological status of the work. My thesis therefore explores the relationship between the musical work and the performance, with a specific focus on classical pianists of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. I make use of two methodological starting-points for considering the nature of the work. Firstly, I survey what pianists have said and written in interviews and biographies regarding their role as interpreters of works. Secondly, I analyse pianists’ use of tempo fluctuation at structurally significant moments in a selection of pieces by Johann Sebastian Bach and Frederic Chopin.

  • THE KOSCIUSZKO FOUNDATION CHOPIN PIANO COMPETITION HISTORICAL OVERVIEW in 1949, to Mark the Centennial of the Death of Fryderyk
    THE KOSCIUSZKO FOUNDATION CHOPIN PIANO COMPETITION HISTORICAL OVERVIEW In 1949, to mark the centennial of the death of Fryderyk Chopin, the Kosciuszko Foundation’s Board of Trustees authorized a National Committee to encourage observance of the anniversary through concerts and programs throughout the United States. Howard Hansen, then Director of the Eastman School of Music, headed this Committee, which included, among others, Claudio Arrau, Vladimir Horowitz, Serge Koussevitzky, Claire Booth Luce, Eugene Ormandy, Artur Rodzinski, George Szell, and Bruno Walter. The Chopin Centennial was inaugurated by Witold Malcuzynski at Carnegie Hall on February 14, 1949. A repeat performance was presented by Malcuzynski eight days later, on Chopin’s birthday, in the Kosciuszko Foundation Gallery. Abram Chasins, composer, pianist, and music director of the New York Times radio stations WQXR and WQWQ, presided at the evening and opened it with the following remarks: In seeking to do justice to the memory of a musical genius, nothing is so eloquent as a presentation of the works through which he enriched our musical heritage. … In his greatest work, Chopin stands alone … Throughout the chaos, the dissonance of the world, Chopin’s music has been for many of us a sanctuary … It is entirely fitting that this event should take place at the Kosciuszko Foundation House. This Foundation is the only institution which we have in America which promotes cultural relations between Poland and America on a non-political basis. It has helped to understand the debt which mankind owes to Poland’s men of genius. At the Chopin evening at the Foundation, two contributions were made.

CommEntS by PhilliP huSChEr ne hundred years ago, the Chicago Symphony paid tribute Oto the centenary of the birth of Franz Liszt with the pro- gram of music Riccardo Muti conducts this week to honor the bicentennial of the composer’s birth. Today, Liszt’s stature in the music world seems diminished—his music is not all that regularly performed, aside from a few works, such as the B minor piano sonata, that have never gone out of favor; and he is more a name in the history books than an indispensable part of our concert life.
