Marshall, J. P. Sauerquell, J. : Vladimir De Pachmann The Greatest Pianist Of the 20th Century ON TOUR IN THE UNITED STATES SEASON: 1911-1912 For generations the appearance of new stars on the musical firmament has been announced — then they came with a temporary glitter — soon to fade and to be forgotten. De Pachmann has outlived them all. With each return he won additional resplendence and to-day he is acknowl- edged by the truly artistic public to be the greatest exponent of the piano of the twentieth century. As Arthur Symons. the eminent British critic, says: " Pachmann is the Verlaine or Whistler of the Pianoforte the greatest player of the piano now living." Pachmann, as before, uses the BALDWIN PIANO for the expression of his magic art, the instrument of which he himself says " .... It cries when I feel like crying, it sings joyfully when I feel like singing. It responds — like a human being — to every mood. I love the Baldwin Piano." Every lover of the highest type of piano music will, of course, go to hear Pachmann — to revel in the beauty of his music and to marvel at it. It is the beautiful tone quality, the voice which is music itself, and the wonderfully responsive action of the Baldwin Piano, by which Pachmann's miraculous hands reveal to you the thrill, the terror and the ecstasy of a beauty which you had never dreamed was hidden in sounds. 8 EAST 34th STREET, NEW YORK ACADEMY OF MUSIC - - - BROOKLYN Twenty-fourth Season in Brooklyn So0t0tt g>gmplj0ttg ©nostra Thirty-first Season, 1911-1912 MAX FIEDLER, Conductor FOURTH CONCERT FRIDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 23 AT 8.15 PROGRAMME .

Felix MendeivSSohn-Bartholdy (Born at Hamburg, February 3, 1809; died a"t Leipsic, November 4, 1847.) Translations by Schlegel and Tieck of Shakespeare's plays were read by Mendelssohn and his sister Fanny in 1826. The overture, "A Midsummer Night's Dream," was written that year, the year of the String Quintet in A (Op. 18), the Sonata in E (Op. 6), and some minor pieces. Klingemann tells us that part of the score was written "in the summer, in the open air, in the Mendelssohns' garden at Berlin, for I was present." This garden belonged to a house in the Leip- ziger Strasse (No. 3). It was near the Potsdam gate, and when Abra- ham Mendelssohn, the father, bought it, his friends complained that he was moving out of the world. There was an estate of about ten acres. In the house was a room for theatrical performances ; and the centre of the garden-house formed a hall which held several hundred, and it was here that Sunday music was performed. In the time of Frederick the Great this garden was part of the Thiergarten. In the summer houses were writing materials, and Felix edited a newspaper, called in summer The Garden Times, and in the winter The Snow and Tea Times. Mendelssohn told Hiller that he had worked long and eagerly on the overture: "How in his spare time between the lectures at the Berlin University he had gone on extemporizing at it on the pianoforte of a beautiful woman who lived close by; 'for a whole year, I hardly did anything else,' he said; and certainly he had not wasted his time." It is said that Mendelssohn made two drafts of the overture, and YOUR SAFEST PIANO STORE is surely the one in which you can have not only the guarantee of responsible makers but also the guarantee of a responsible store. Kranich and Bach Francis Bacon Estey Gordon and Sons Bjur Brothers PIANOS AND PLAYER -PIANOS are sold exclusively at Loeser's in this vicinity, and the guarantee of this Store as well as of the makers is back of them.

The earlier draft began with the four chords and the fairy figure; then followed a reg- ular overture, in which use was made of a theme typical of the loves of Lysander and Hermia and of kin to the "love melody" of the pres- ent version. The overture was first written as a pianoforte duet, and it was first played to Moscheles in that form by the composer and his sister, No- vember 19, 1826. It was performed afterward by an orchestra in the garden-house. The first public performance was at Stettin on Febru- ary 20, 1827, when Karl Lowe conducted.* The critic was not hurried in those days, for an account of the concert appeared in the Earmoni- con for December of that year. The critic had had time to think the matter over, and his conclusion was that the overture was of little importance. In 1843 King Frederick William the Fourth of Prussia wished Men- delssohn to compose music for the plays, "Antigone," "A Midsummer Night's Dream," "Athalie," which should be produced in September. During the summer of that year Mendelssohn composed the additional music for Shakespeare's play. The rehearsals began in an upper story of the royal palace at Berlin, because the height of the room permitted the use of scenery much higher than that found ordinarily in theatres. Tieck had divided the play into three acts, and had said nothing to the composer about the change. Mendelssohn had com- posed with reference to the original division. The first performance was at the New Palace, Potsdam, October 14, 1843. Joachim, then an infant phenomenon, went from Leipsic to hear it. Fanny wrote to her sister at Rome: "Never did I hear an orchestra play so pianissimo. The dead-march for Thisbe and Pyramus is really stupendous; I could scarcely believe up to the last that Felix would have the impudence to bring it before the public, for it is exactly like the mock preludes he plays when you cannot get him to be serious." The play was per- formed at the King's Theatre, Berlin, on October 18 and the three *Lowe is named as the conductor by Tbeodor Miiller-Reuter in his "Lexikon der deutschen Konzert- literatur" (Leipsic, 1909). Mendelssohn went to Stettin to play Weber's Konzertstuck, and with Lowe a double concerto of his own. The statement has been made that Mendelssohn then conducted the overture. G. SCHIRMER (Inc.), 3 East 43d Street, NEW YORK JUST PUBLISHED Advanced Exercises for the Violin * By FRANZ KNEISEL Price, $1.50 net These exercises, the fruit of many years of ripe practical experience, have been designed by Mr. Kneisel, to furnish a logical technical preparation for the study of the Rode "Caprices," as well as to supply progressively arranged mate- rial to be employed in connection with the Vieuxtemps studies, Dont's "Gradus ad Parnassum," and Wieniawski's "Ecole moderne." The pupil can begin the study of these advanced technical figurations as soon as Kreutzer has been thor- oughly mastered, and intelligent work is sure to bring about the result they were written to secure — a correct position of the left hand, and grace and facility in the manipulation of the bow.

First an orchestral violinist, Pácal then studied voice with Gustav Walter in Vienna and sang as a chorister in Cologne, Bremen and Graz. In 1895 he became a member of the Vienna Hofoper and had a great success there in 1897 singing the small role of the Fisherman in Rossini’s William Tell. He then was promoted to leading roles and remained in Vienna through 1905. Unfor- tunately he and the Opera’s director, Gustav Mahler, didn’t get along, despite Pacal having instructed his son to kiss Mahler’s hand in public (behavior Mahler considered obsequious). Pacal stated that Mahler ruined his career, calling him “talentless” and “humiliating me in front of all the Opera personnel.” We don’t know what happened to invoke Mahler’s wrath but we do know that Pácal sent Mahler a letter in 1906, unsuccessfully begging for another chance. Leaving Vienna, Pácal then sang with the Prague National Opera, in Riga and finally in Posen. His rare records demonstate a fine voice with considerable ring in the upper register. -Internet sources 1858. 10” Blk. Wien G&T 43832 [891x-Do-2z]. FRÜHLINGSZEIT (Becker).

  • Forgotten Splendour

    Forgotten Splendour

    FORGOTTEN SPLENDOUR A Chronology of the North Shore Music Festival 1909 to 1939 by Andrew Cottonaro Beginning in 1909 and lasting until 1939, the North Shore Music Festival of Northwestern University was a significant musical and social event in the Chicago area. For a few days each Spring, the campus hosted a diverse body of performers in a series of grand concerts. Naturally, some of that era’s most eminent singers could be heard there. Their presence certainly helped to sell tickets and their artistry helped to sustain the festival as a popular and critical success. Now, sixty years later, the festival hardly even counts as a faded memory. To date, two books (in part), offer a general outline of the festival’s history, but both lack any detailed analysis of who appeared and what was actually sung. This is the first attempt to present a chronology of the vocal offerings (quite distinct from the orchestral offerings) at the festival. Northwestern University, the official sponsor of the festival, is located in Evanston, Illinois (USA). The town is a suburb of Chicago, directly north of the city and on the banks of Lake Michigan. Because of this geographic position, Evanston and the other cities of the area are called the North Shore, hence the origin of the festival’s name. Northwestern University was incorporated in 1850 and gradually won recognition for its academic excellence. The establishment of musical studies, however, was a tangled web of many failed efforts. In a final and desperate attempt to salvage musical education, the university’s board of trustees in 1891 appointed Peter Christian Lutkin (1858-1931) to direct musical studies, a post that he held until his death.
  • Representing a Christian Nation: Sacred and Providential Discourses in Opera in the United States, 1911–1917

    Representing a Christian Nation: Sacred and Providential Discourses in Opera in the United States, 1911–1917

    Representing a Christian Nation: Sacred and Providential Discourses in Opera in the United States, 1911–1917 AARON ZIEGEL Abstract As the genre of American opera was coming of age during the 1910s, composers and librettists began to incorporate the materials of sacred music into the operatic context with surprising frequency. This often took the form of prayer arias, sacred choruses, hymnody, or choral apotheoses, examples of which appear in Frederick Converse’s The Sacrifice (1911), Victor Herbert’s Natoma (1911), Mary Carr Moore’s Narcissa (1912), and Henry Hadley’s Azora (1917). These composers modeled their efforts after familiar European precedents, including Wagner’s Lohengrin, Gounod’s Faust, and Meyerbeer’s Les Huguenots, among other works. Close examination of the music, however, reveals a distinctively American approach in which sacred materials function to reinforce statements of patriotic nationalism. By situating these long-overlooked American operas alongside contemporaneous commentary on the United States’ sense of its sacred purpose, this article illustrates how the composers and librettists sought to participate in the discourses of providentialism, the “Christian nation” concept, manifest destiny, and “True Americanism” in order to craft a characteristically national style. The inclusion of sacred musical ingredients thus helped redefine the genre for US listeners, as the operas’ characters give voice to their Americanness through the sacred music they sing. A woman prays to God seeking strength and perseverance through troubled times. A recent convert narrates a dream-vision in which the coming of Christ is revealed. A congregation sings hymns of praise. A choir performs an anthem based upon a liturgical text.

    ROBYNCATHCART: M.A. CANDIDATEIN MUSICOLOGY THEUNIVERSITY OF VICTORIA, VICTORIA BC -The Singing School of Manuel Garcia IZ- Supervisor: Dr. Gordana Lazarevich December 12,2003 University of Victoria PO Box 1700 STN CSC Victoria, BC V8W 2Y2 Canada Supervisor: Dr. Gordana Lazarevich A~STRACT Manuel Garcia 11 (1805-1906) is perhaps the greatest teacher of voice in history, and his approach, stated in A Complete Treatise on the Art of Singing, Parts One (1841) and Two (1847), became one of the principal methods of vocal instruction during his time. By tracing Garcia 11's methodology, based on the Italian Schools of Singing and be1 canto opera, it will become clear that his type of voice building holds many of the keys needed to unlock the voices of singers today. Analysis of Garcia II's vocal treatises, combined with first hand research conducted with faculty throughout three prominent Canadian university voice programs, will further substantiate the claim that Garcia 11 is a pivotal figure within the landscape of vocal pedagogy, also putting to rest several misconceptions (i.e. vocal onset and the coup de la glotte, and vocal registers) concerning his teachings. Respected internationally for his contributions to the worlds of classical voice and opera, performance practice, voice science, and pedagogy during his lifetime, Garcia II's theories on vocal production remain intact in current vocal pedagogy, despite shifts in the paradigms of musical, cultural, social and vocal aesthetics.
