  • 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.

  • Sat Oct 5 Program Notes
    PROGRAM NOTES: SAT / OCT 5 By Bill Crane, Director of Audience Engagement, Portland Piano International “When it comes to translating human emotions, the piano is the most perfect instrument I know.” – Marc-André Hamelin in his recent interview for BBC Music Magazine Whether as listener, student, teacher, composer, or performer, one has so many ways to approach the seemingly endlessly varied sonorities of the piano, ripe for expressing myriad emotions. As well, the piano allows a single performer to create such abundance of music – with such satisfying results, when in good hands – that composers for it have stretched its capacities tirelessly, always exploring possibilities. We live in a time well after all constraints of harmonic and formal practice that characterized music before the “modern” period were thrown off. Much of the music after the end of the 19th century, indeed, was quite reflective of the tumultuous times in which the Western world lived with boundless conflict and astounding change. This is particularly true, of course, of the Russian piano tradition, from which we will hear stellar examples in these recitals, but not there only. French music comes to mind, of course, with its own special harmonic innovations and suave, evocative ways. You are about to encounter bazillions of notes, more than seems humanly possible. More important, though, you are in for sublime artistry. This swirling world of music and musical ideas borne of many profound influences, some directly “artistic” and some esoteric (spiritual matters, political intrigue, lovers’ longing and laments), some clear to understand and others distinctly not so. I would bet that a majority of the pieces found in these two programs will be new to you, as they were to me.

  • 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.
