  • Alexander Paley
    Alexander Paley Alexander Paley is widely acclaimed for his dazzling technical prowess, his exceptionally broad and extensive repertoire of concerti and solo piano works, and the depth of his unique and personal interpretations. The Washington Post called Paley's 1991 debut with the National Symphony a "flawless performance," and since then, he has earned similar accolades for performances with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Boston Pops, Aspen Festival Orchestra, Minnesota Orchestra, and the St. Louis, San Diego, Utah, Colorado, Milwaukee, Seattle, and Syracuse Symphony Orchestras. He made his Carnegie Hall debut with the American Composers Orchestra in the 1996-7 season with the world premier of a new concerto by Sheila Silver, at which time The New York Times wrote: "The pianist … played like a man possessed" Recital appearances throughout the United States have taken Mr. Paley to San Francisco, Los Angeles, Richmond, Atlanta, the Kennedy Center in Washington DC, Chicago's Allied Arts Series, and the Seattle International Festival. A favorite with audiences in Washington, DC, Mr. Paley gave the first of his now annual recitals in the 1999-2000 season, playing the dedicatory recital for the German embassy's new Bluthner piano and also playing at the Dumbarton Concert Series with a program featuring J.S. Bach's Goldberg Variations and French Suite No.5. The Washington Post review of this recital began: "Once in a while, never often enough, a recital is so exhilarating that it reaches far into the intermission, which becomes a delicious interlude between the lingering vapors of superlative artistry already experienced and the enormous pleasure of knowing there is still more to come".

  • The Artist Teaching of Alexander Goldenweiser: Fingers in Service to Music Junwei Xue © 2018
    The Artist Teaching of Alexander Goldenweiser: Fingers in Service to Music Junwei Xue © 2018 Submitted to the graduate degree program in Music and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts. Chair: Steven Spooner Jack Winerock Michael Kirkendoll Ketty Wong Robert Ward Date Defended: 10 May 2018 The dissertation committee for Junwei Xue certifies that this is the approved version of the following doctoral document: The Artist Teaching of Alexander Goldenweiser: Fingering in Service to Music Chair: Steven Spooner Date Approved: 10 May 2018 ii Abstract This paper examines the life, teaching methods, and critical editions of Alexander Goldenweiser (1875-1961), a major figure of the Russian music scene in the first half of the twentieth century. A pianist, teacher, and composer, Goldenweiser left an important legacy with his teaching philosophy and editions of piano scores. Many of his students have become renowned pianists and teachers themselves, who have transmitted Goldenweiser’s teaching philosophy to their own pupils, thus strengthening the widely recognized Russian school of piano. An examination of his teaching methods reveals his teaching philosophy, which focuses on the development of a piano technique that seeks a faithful interpretation of the music scores. In his view, children should start taking piano lessons at an early age to acquire the necessary skills to master all sorts of passages in the piano literature, and to these purposes, he was influential in the creation of the Central Music School in Moscow, where musically-gifted children study the elementary and secondary school levels.

  • Myth and Appropriation: Fryderyk Chopin in the Context of Russian and Polish Literature and Culture by Tony Hsiu Lin a Disserta
    Myth and Appropriation: Fryderyk Chopin in the Context of Russian and Polish Literature and Culture By Tony Hsiu Lin A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Slavic Languages and Literatures in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Anne Nesbet, Co-Chair Professor David Frick, Co-Chair Professor Robert P. Hughes Professor James Davies Spring 2014 Myth and Appropriation: Fryderyk Chopin in the Context of Russian and Polish Literature and Culture © 2014 by Tony Hsiu Lin Abstract Myth and Appropriation: Fryderyk Chopin in the Context of Russian and Polish Literature and Culture by Tony Hsiu Lin Doctor of Philosophy in Slavic Languages and Literatures University of California, Berkeley Professor Anne Nesbet, Co-Chair Professor David Frick, Co-Chair Fryderyk Chopin’s fame today is too often taken for granted. Chopin lived in a time when Poland did not exist politically, and the history of his reception must take into consideration the role played by Poland’s occupying powers. Prior to 1918, and arguably thereafter as well, Poles saw Chopin as central to their “imagined community.” They endowed national meaning to Chopin and his music, but the tendency to glorify the composer was in a constant state of negotiation with the political circumstances of the time. This dissertation investigates the history of Chopin’s reception by focusing on several events that would prove essential to preserving and propagating his legacy. Chapter 1 outlines the indispensable role some Russians played in memorializing Chopin, epitomized by Milii Balakirev’s initiative to erect a monument in Chopin’s birthplace Żelazowa Wola in 1894.

  • Searching for Chopin
    SEARCHING FOR CHOPIN Written and photographed by Marcus Siu and Lidia Thompson exclusively for PoloniaSF.org The famous Chopin autograph sign hanging above the stage at the National Philharmonic, home of the Warsaw Philharmonic, and venue for the 16th Annual International Chopin Piano Competition. My sheer appreciation of classical piano music didn’t quite develop until early on during my adult years. It probably didn’t help when I was forced into taking piano lessons at the innocent age of twelve, fiendishly schemed and executed perfectly by my mother, despite my repetitive refusals to comply. The real reason, of course, was that I feared that my pre-teen image would be greatly tarnished by the younger kids of the neighborhood. I couldn’t let that happen. At that time of my life, I was much more interested in rock music. The Rolling Stones was my idea of what classical music should be. Though, I didn’t really form much of an opinion in “classical” music in my teens, I definitely enjoyed hearing to it in movies, especially in such great films, such as Stanley Kubrick’s “2001 – A Space Odyssey”. Nowadays, when I hear a Johann Strauss waltz, I no longer think of 18th century revelers in Venetian masks and fancy gowns, dancing in a grand ballroom with twenty foot chandeliers hanging above them; but instead, slow rotating floating space stations or airline stewardesses walking carefully down the aisles in zero gravity. My piano teacher recognized my passive taste for classical music immediately and offered different genres of music to keep me motivated in learning the instrument.

Sixty-seventh Concert of the 103rd Season Eighty-ninth Annual May Festival PROGRAM NOTES by RICHARD FREED Overture to Egmont, Op. 84 ..... LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN (1770-1827) Few terms in music have been used to identify so many different notions as the word "overture" to which basic idea so many more elaborate forms can trace their ancestry. From the Italian opera overture we derived the symphony itself; the overture is still labeled "Sinfonia" in Italian opera scores, and we might remember that Haydn's final symphonies were billed in London as "Grand Overtures." From the French overture, Baroque composers devised the instrumental suite. Another sort of opera overture, essentially a potpourri of tunes from the work being introduced, gave rise to the rhapsodic fantasies particu'arly those on national themes which are also called "overtures." And, while Liszt is generally credited with having "invented" the symphonic poem, it must be acknowledged that Beethoven and Mendelssohn both preceded him most actively in that genre though they called their symphonic poems "overtures." Like Beethoven's Leonore Overtures of 1805 (No.

    The Effects of Russian Piano Pedagogy on Vietnamese Pianists, with Comparisons of Effects Of Vietnamese Piano Pedagogy and UK Piano Pedagogy. Minh Thanh Nguyen MMus (UNSW) School of English, Media and Performing Arts A thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences The University of New South Wales 2007 ABSTRACT Cultures in contact over a considerable period influence intellectual traditions, practices and habits relating to musical expression and the manner of teaching it. This study investigates the effects of different cultural contacts on Vietnamese student pianists, especially from Russian-style piano pedagogy and associated educational ideas and methods in music conservatoires. The purpose of this study was to compare various teaching approaches and learning styles, and the reactions of Vietnamese students to three different sources of training of piano teachers: Russia, Vietnam and England. Different sources of training affected piano pedagogy, and different musical traditions affected expression in piano performance, especially where students are from a cultural background different from that of their teacher. Observations of actual piano lessons were undertaken, and data were also obtained from interviews and questionnaires and analysed statistically. Results are reported and discussed in relation to four prominent features of the Russian piano school: achieving a powerful and substantial sound; the requirement for “singing” quality on the piano; the solid technical training which requires an enormous amount of practice time; and the necessity to play from memory. These are four prominent features of the Russian piano schooling. In addition, Vietnamese students’ problems regarding rhythmic accuracy highlight an inherent difference between the Vietnamese and Russian piano school.
