Among the three piano sonatas that are left in manuscripts (1855, 1856- 57, 1905), the latest one was the only one that was completed and published. However, the second one was also published in 1948 and the earliest one remains unpublished. Although the research on these earlier sonatas is very scarce, they are significant works. All of these sonatas are written in B-flat major, to which Balakirev had a special affinity. Also, all of them had a Mazurka movement with the same thematic material, the first being the simplest, the last the most elaborate, virtuosic and highly effective. Comparing the earlier and the late Mazurkas will lead us to discover the stylistic and technical development of the piano music by Balakirev. Balakirev, head composer of the Mighty Handful1, played a critical role in the development of musical nationalism in Russia in the mid-nineteenth century. Musical nationalism, a reaction to the prominence of German music in Western music history, began to rise during the late nineteenth century. Musical nationalists sought to express their identities through their traditional or folk music, rather than following German classical conventions. This movement was manifested in diverse areas of Europe, including Scandinavia, Bohemia, Hungary, and the Soviet Union. The new musical languages and styles emerging from these regions provided abundant melodic materials and fresh sounds to the Western art music tradition. What is especially noteworthy about Russian nationalist music, compared to that of other regions, is that the Russian art music scene began to prosper, becoming one of the centers of Western art music, despite having been almost barren of classical music for centuries. Russian 1 The Mighty Handful (1856 to 1870) played a critical role in the rise of Russian nationalism in music. Mily Balakirev was the leader, followed by César Cui, Modest Mussorgsky, Alexander Borodin and Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. They composed music based on Russian folk songs and orientalism. Mussorgsky, especially, incorporated realism into his operas. The music by these composers was significant in the development of Russian music. 2 nationalists fought the prevailing forces of Western culture around St. Petersburg. During the nineteenth century, Russia was in the midst of a clash between Western European culture and local tradition. The

    rus «Как дуб вырастает из желудя, так и вся русская симфоническая музыка повела свое начало из “Камаринской” Глинки», – писал П.И. Чайковский. Основоположник русской национальной композиторской школы Михаил Иванович Глинка с детства любил оркестр и предпочитал сим- фоническую музыку всякой другой (оркестром из крепостных музы- кантов владел дядя будущего композитора, живший неподалеку от его родового имения Новоспасское). Первые пробы пера в оркестро- вой музыке относятся к первой половине 1820-х гг.; уже в них юный композитор уходит от инструментального озвучивания популярных песен и танцев в духе «бальной музыки» того времени, но ориентируясь на образцы высокого классицизма, стремится освоить форму увертюры и симфонии с использованием народно-песенного материала. Эти опыты, многие из которых остались незаконченными, были для Глинки лишь учебными «эскизами», но они сыграли важную роль в формирова- нии его композиторского стиля. 7 rus rus Уже в увертюрах и балетных фрагментах опер «Жизнь за царя» (1836) Александр Сергеевич Даргомыжский был младшим современником и «Руслан и Людмила» (1842) Глинка демонстрирует блестящее вла- и последователем Глинки в деле становления и развития русской про- дение оркестровым письмом. Особенно характерна в этом отноше- фессиональной музыкальной культуры. На репетициях «Жизни за царя» нии увертюра к «Руслану»: поистине моцартовская динамичность, он познакомился с автором оперы; сам Глинка, отметив выдающиеся «солнечный» жизнерадостный тонус (по словам автора, она «летит музыкальные способности юноши, передал ему свои тетради музыкаль- на всех парусах») сочетается в ней с интенсивнейшим мотивно- ных упражнений, над которыми работал вместе с немецким теоретиком тематическим развитием.

  • 13 Foreword to Richard Taruskin's Essays On
    13 FOREWORD TO RICHARD TARUSKIN’S ESSAYS ON MUSORGSKY Th e entry below initially appeared in 1993, as a Foreword to a book of ground-breaking essays on Modest Musorgsky by Richard Taruskin (Musorgsky: Eight Essays and an Epilogue [Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1993]). At the time Taruskin was the foremost authority on Russian music in the Western world; by now (2010) he has become foremost in several other areas as well. To his writings and generous mentorship I owe my education in this Russian composer. EXCERPTS FROM THE FOREWORD TO RICHARD TARUSKIN, MUSORGSKY: EIGHT ESSAYS AND AN EPILOGUE 1993 In 1839, the year of Musorgsky’s birth, the Marquis de Custine made a three-month journey through the Russian Empire. Th e travel account he published four years later, La Russie en 1839, became an international bestseller; to this day, fairly or no, it is read as a key to that country’s most grimly persistent cultural traits.1 Astolphe de Custine (1790–1857) was an aristocrat from a family ravaged by the French Revolution. Nevertheless, he came to view the Russian absolute autocracy (and the cunning, imitative, servile subjects it bred and fostered) as far more deceitful and potentially 1 See the reprint edition of the fi rst (anonymously translated) English version of 1843, Th e Marquis de Custine, Empire of the Czar: A Journey through Eternal Russia (New York: Anchor-Doubleday, 1989). Quotations in this essay occur on pp. 600, 109, and 206 respectively. George Kennan has called La Russie en 1839 “not a very good book about Russia in 1839” but “an excellent book, probably in fact the best of books, about the Russia of Joseph Stalin” (George F.

    Book Reviews 275 Soviet attempts to democratize the Olympics, is also discussed in chapter two, where Parks shows how Soviet sports leaders took the IOC to task for its “discriminatory attitude” (51) against women. The importance of winning the Olympic Games for Moscow was high on the agenda at an early stage, and actively pursued for the 1976 Games. The bureaucratic wrangling behind this first failed bid is covered well in Chapter 3, as is the successful 1980 bid. Of particular interest is the monumental effort invested in securing the 1980 Games, which included expected assurances of the necessary infrastructure but also a lot of behind- the-scenes diplomatic efforts between the Soviet Sports Committee, the International Olympic Committee (IOC), and the international federation representatives. This sets the scene for two engaging chapters that deal with the Moscow Olympiad. The Moscow Olympic Organizing Committee (Orgcom) was concerned with the huge challenges ahead of it, and as Parks lists these, its concern seemed more than justified. Yet, as this chapter convincingly shows, hosting the Games also represented a huge opportunity, and this was not just related to international status or prestige. The immense organizational effort necessitated a new approach that dispensed with much of the bureaucracy that could slow down decision-making within the Soviet system. Parks ably analyzes how the Orgcom tackled the myriad problems that confronted it. She acknowledges, however, that the hallmarks of the Brezhnev period, including increased spending on the military, drew funding away from sports and other sectors. This undermined the Soviet commitment to peace, which was dealt a severe blow after the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, a move that showed how much had changed in international relations since the Soviet Union initially won the Moscow Olympic bid.

Comprised of César Cui, Aleksandr Borodin, Mily Balakirev, Modest Mussorgsky, and Nikolay Rimksy-Korsakov, this group of inspired musicians, steeped in Russian society, worked to remove outside cultural influences and create a uniquely Russian sound in their compositions. As their nation became saturated with French and German cultures and other outside musical influences, these musicians composed with the intent of eradicating ideologies outside of Russia. In particular, German music, under the influence of Richard Wagner, Robert Schumann, and Johannes Brahms, reflected the pan-Western-European style and revolutionized the genre of opera.

A thorough quantitative and qualitative analysis of 46 recordings from 41 pianists (recorded between 1925 to 2018), including six recordings from Eduard Steuermann, the leading pianist of the Second Viennese School, scrutinizes the interdependency between macro- and microformal pianistic approaches to this cycle. In thus tracing varying conceptions of a performance-shaped cyclic form and their historical contexts, the continuous unfurling of the potential of Schoenberg’s musical ideas in both “structuralist” and “rhetorical” performance styles is systematically explored, offering a fresh approach to the controversial discussion on how analysis and performance might relate to one another.
