Through the medium of Baldwin tone, this most lyric of contemporary pianists discovers complete revealment of his musical dreams. For a generation de Pachmann has played the Baldwin; on the concert stage and in his home.

The Raymond- Whitcomb West Indies Cruises this winter will sail on the largest and most luxurious steamship that has ever cruised the Caribbean — the S. S. "Columbus" (of 32,000 registered tons). This is the first time that one of the great trans-Atlantic luxury liners has been sent on a West Indies Cruise. Two Cruises of 24 days each—sailing January 30 and February 25 and visiting Havana, Jamaica, Panama and a dozen other picturesque places on the historic Spanish Main. Sightseeing trips and excursions by automobile, launch and special train will visit such interesting spots as the Pitch Lake in Trinidad; the ruins of Saint Pierre,the American Pompeii; Port Antonio and inland Jamaica; old Panama City buried in the jungle; and Caracas, the capital of Venezuela. All these extra trips are included in the price. Rates #375 and upward. Send for the West Indies booklet Spring Mediterranean Cruise A new Cruise at an ideal season of bright days and settled warm weather. It sails on April 5 and in five weeks visits 16 places in the Western Mediterranean (including several fascinating out-of-the-way cities that other cruises have not yet found). We recommend it for a complete Spring vacation or a novel trip to Europe— vastly more entertaining than the usual trans- Atlantic voyage, and, from New York to Naples, only slightly longer.

HENRY PuRCELL (Purcell, born in London between November 21, 1658, and November 20, 1659*; died in London on November 21, 1695; Wood, born in London, March 3, 1869; now living in London) This Voluntary for three trumpets, three trombones, kettledrums, side drum, and organ was published in London in 1923. There is no note concerning the source. Wood has been in the habit of arranging music by Purcell, taking a passage from one work and a passage from another, as in the "Suite" by Purcell which he conducted at Hollywood Bowl, California, on July 14, 1925. Mr. Stokowski, conductor of the Philadelphia Orchestra, brought out in the season of 1924-25 a "Trumpet Prelude" which he said he had found in the library of the British Museum in the summer of 1924, without being able to learn anything about its history. We quote from Mr. Lawrence Gilman's excellent notes for the concert of the Philadelphia Orchestra in New York on March 10, 1925. "In the transcription used at tonight's performance, the Prelude is scored for three trumpets in C, two oboes, two bassoons, and strings. The key is D major, and the time alia breve. It opens forte with a solo for the first trumpet, accompanied by oboes and string choirs. Note the use of the ground bass (announced at the beginning by the two bas- soons in unison)." The question naturally arises, is this "Trumpet *Riemann's "Musik-Lexicon" gives 1658; but see Grove's Dictionary, "Purcell" (revised edition), and the Musical Times, 1895, p. 733: "Purcell," by William H. Cummings ("The precise day of his birth is unknown, but there is no doubt about the year 1658"). A Purcell Commemoration to cele- brate the bicentenary of Purcell's birth was held in London on January 30, 1858. ^^lltllIllIIIC3llllllllIIIIC3IIIIIIIIIIIIC3llIlllIIIIIICaillllIllllllC2IIIlllIIIIIIi:ailllll[IIEIlC31IIIIIIllllIC21lllllIlllllE31IIllIIIllllK:3llllllllllIlCaiIllllllllllE31lll^ Fine- Art Series I The Columbia of j I Musical Masterworks 1 The list of musical works so far issued includes nine great symphonies, representative of the following composers: Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Dvorak, Brahms, Cesar Franck. Symphonic poems and orchestral suites by Richard Strauss, Saint-Saens and Hoist; concertos of Bach, Mozart and Lalo; sonatas, quartets, and other major works of chamber music of Bach, Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, Brahms and Franck contribute to this remarkable repertory. Especially notable is the Bach collection of three complete works presented in one album set. Descriptive catalogue, "Columbia Celebrity Records," now ready. ^F1IIC3IIIIIIIlllllE31IIIIlIIIIIIC3llllllIIIIIIC3IlllllllIIIICaiIllllIIIIIIC31IIIllIIIIIIC2IIIIIIlIIIfIC3IIIIIIIIllllCaillllIlllIIIC3IIIIIIIIllIICailfllIlllIIIC31IIIlIIIIIIIE3r£=. 6 Prelude" the "Trumpet Voluntary" of Wood's rescored by Mr. Stokowski or may not have Mr. Stokowski and Sir Henry Wood worked from the same manuscript or manuscripts? The tonality is the same. There is a suggestion of the opening measures of Wood's arrange- ment in Purcell's "Welcome Song performed to His Majesty in the year 1684," and in a phrase or two in "The Indian Queen." In the list of Purcell's works given in Grove's Dictionary (Revised Edition) under the head "From Various Sources," is "Trumpet Tune"; but this has little or no bearing on the "Trumpet Voluntary," for Purcell used this instrument freely, one might say recklessly. There is a florid trumpet obbligato to the soprano air "To arms, heroic prince" in his music to Shadwell's "The Libertine."* The indication, "Flat Trumpets," is found in some of Purcell's scores, as in the Canzona written for the funeral of Queen Mary (1695). The title, "evidently refers, first of all, to the minor key in which the composition is set, and also to the use of instruments which could be played in that 'flat' key.

Tempo Rubatb The Uses of Rubato in Music, Eighteenth to Twentieth Centuries Sandra P. Rosenblum Tempo rubato (It., "stolen time") may be most aptly defined as a disregard of certain notated properties of rhythm and tempo for the sake of expressive performance. Like a few other musical terms, this one has been applied to widely divergent—almost opposing—usages and is presently the subject of sufficient confusion to warrant an ordered presentation. The phrase rubare il tempo originated with Tosi in 1723.1 Since then rubato has been used for two basic types of rhythmic flexibility: that of a solo melody to move in subtly redistributed or inflected note values against a steady pulse in the accompaniment, and flexibility of the entire musical texture to accelerate, to slow down, or to slightly lengthen a single note, chord, or rest.

  • The Recorded Heritage of Willem Mengelberg and Its Aesthetic Relevance
    Copyright 2014 Samir Ghiocel Golescu THE RECORDED HERITAGE OF WILLEM MENGELBERG AND ITS AESTHETIC RELEVANCE BY SAMIR GHIOCEL GOLESCU DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in Music with a concentration in Performance and Literature in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2014 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor William Kinderman, Chair Professor Ian Hobson Associate Professor Sherban Lupu Assistant Professor Katherine Syer ABSTRACT This dissertation explores the art and interpretative aesthetics of the Dutch conductor Willem Mengelberg (1871-1951), as preserved in his sound recordings and, subsidiarily, in his writings. Emphasis is given to issues pertaining to 19th century performance practice, as well as to historical connections between Mengelberg and compositional/interpretative trends in Europe at the time. Mengelberg’s impact on musical life in Amsterdam, New York, and beyond will be considered. The relevance of Mengelberg’s recordings is assessed from both a documentary and aesthetic point of view. The quasi-entirety of Mengelberg’s rich body of recordings has been consulted, yet a few dozens of them have been chosen for an in-depth study meant to illuminate both their historical context and their contemporary relevance. ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS It is with gratitude that I acknowledge the help and support of the committee members, particularly long-time University of Illinois mentors Ian Hobson and William Kinderman, as well as previous mentors and close musical friends such as Florica Nitzulescu, Ioan Welt, Elena Andriescu, Isabelle Belance-Zank, Hubert Wendel, and Sergei Pavlov. I am indebted to Ingrid Ilinca for her help and support.
