She lives in New York City with her husband, son, and daughter. flute* DISC ONE thirty-second notes become longer, creating the sense of breathtakingly rapid forward movement. This is one of the most complex and virtuoso finales among Bach’s concertos. J. S. Bach–Vivaldi J. S.

The keyboard therefore bears the responsi- Transcription for piano and chamber 7. I 8:11 bility of eliciting both the inflectional expressiveness of Vivaldi’s violin original orchestra by Julia Zilberquit 8. Siciliano 6:44 and the power of Bach’s organ version, yet remains within the bounds of the 1. Allegro 4:53 9. Allegro 6:37 keyboard esthetic. This peculiarity of the concerto is especially noticeable in 2. Largo e spiccato 3:23 the Allegro (first movement). In the Andante (second movement), the performer 3. Allegro 2:48 J. S. Bach faces another difficult task: to convey sorrow and humility in a laconic context. Keyboard Concerto in D major Here Zilberquit, in the spirit of the 18th-century performing tradition, enriches J. S. Bach (BWV 1054) the modest melodic line with various ornaments. The keyboard part in the finale Keyboard Concerto in D minor 10. I 7:47 is organically woven together from a duet of two violins. Most impressive, too, (BWV 1052) 11. Adagio e piano sempre 6:20 are the sharply articulated fragments (reminiscent of Bach’s original Concerto 4. Allegro 7:37 12. Allegro 2:50 in D minor) and the arioso episodes, extremely simple in texture yet highly 5. Adagio 7:38 expressive. 6. Allegro 7:50 —Mark Zilberquit Translated by Cathy Young DISC TWO movement, it contains passages in which the expressiveness of inflection requires extraordinary mastery from the performer. Bach’s Keyboard Concerto in F major, BWV 1057, is a different version of his J. S. Bach J. S. Bach own Brandenburg Concerto No. 4 in G major. One of the work’s peculiarities is the Keyboard Concerto in A major Keyboard Concerto in G minor fact that it spotlights two solo flutes along with the solo keyboard. Nevertheless, (BWV 1055) (BWV 1058) it definitely is not a Concerto Grosso (as are the Brandenburg concertos); this piece has a brilliant, virtuoso solo part for the keyboard. The second movement, 1. Allegro 4:03 10. I 3:56 2. Larghetto 6:15 written in the manner of a Sarabande, features a rich part for the orchestra and 11. Andante 6:13 3. Allegro ma non tanto 4:11 virtuoso parts for both flutes, but still allows the keyboard to retain the lead role 12. Allegro assai 4:01 with a very expressive melody. The finale is a festive-sounding fugue in which J. S. Bach J. S. Bach–Vivaldi the theme shifts from the piano to the flute and then to the orchestra. However, Keyboard Concerto in F minor Concerto in A minor, op.3 no.8 even in the episode where the keyboard acts as accompanist, its dominant role, (BWV 1056) (BWV 596, RV 522) with its exceptionally complex passages, remains almost intact.

The first movement is very versatile 5. Largo 2:52 6. Presto 3:27 13. Allegro 3:42 in both character and texture; Bach rarely used chordal narrative in concertos 14. Larghetto e spiritoso 6:15 as he does here at the beginning of the main theme. The Andante is dominated J. S. Bach 15. Allegro 4:11 by nuances of piano and pianissimo. Only at times does the orchestra make power- Keyboard Concerto in F major * ful “incursions,” which seem merely to offset the barely changing dynamics of (BWV 1057) the solo instrument. In the concluding, third movement, Bach uses his favorite technique for finales: the gradual “division” of time values (from sixteenth notes 7. Allegro 7:24 to thirty-seconds) in the clavier part. After they first appear, the episodes with 8. Andante 4:15 9. Allegro assai 5:30 vivid, literally festive, major-key music, “peppered,” like the first movement, with graceful minor-key episodes. Bach’s Keyboard Concerto in A major, BWV 1055, represents yet another stage in the evolution of the genre, moving it toward greater virtuosity and instrumental brilliance. The tone is set by the first part, homogenous in style but far from monotonous, in which the keyboard with its swift movement never loses the initiative even for a moment. The second movement, the Larghetto, is remarkable in that two melodic lines — that of the solo keyboard and that of the orchestra — run parallel and are absolutely equal in importance and expressive- T ness. The rhythmic, whimsical finale, abundant in ornamentation, requires the he concerto genre, as suggested by the literal meaning of the same special brilliance and exceptional clarity of play from the performer as was word “concerto” (from the Latin concertatio, or “contest”), is based on the principle called for in the opening. of competition between the solo instrument (or instruments) and the orchestra The Keyboard Concerto in F minor, BWV 1056, is also reported to have had (tutti). Born in the early 17th century in Italy, the classical Baroque concerto a violin prototype, the Concerto in G minor. The Allegro at the beginning, with its was fully crystallized in the work of Antonio Vivaldi (1678–1741). It was Vivaldi’s heavy stride, is most expressive and versatile in its musical material. In this move- concertos that in many ways inspired Johann Sebastian Bach (1685–1750), whose ment, the modern piano can probably “say” much more than the harpsichord, own works in this genre set a new standard. since the expressiveness of this music is better served by the piano’s richer singing It is likely that Bach first became acquainted with the concertos of Vivaldi inflection than by the harpsichord’s clarity. The second movement’s character and other Italian composers who wrote in this genre while he was working in is that of a chaste pastoral. Here, the orchestra lends only a little support to the Weimar (1708–1717). This knowledge, however, did not bear fruit until later, in his soloist, who, as it were, soars above the orchestra’s pizzicato sound. The finale so-called Ketten period (1717–1723), during which he created his most important does not achieve the same virtuosity as in some other concertos, but is every way keyboard compositions. It was also in those years that the composer created their equal in its wholeness of construction and clarity of direction. Like the first is preceded by a tragic Adagio that recalls the most moving pages of Bach’s numerous (about twenty) arrangements of concertos by other composers in Passions.

    The Concerto: style, form, and context in its first century A course for OLLI, Winter 2017 Professor: Alexandra Amati-Camperi, PhD || [email protected] Meets at the Freight & Salvage on Wednesday from 10 AM to noon. Course description: The concerto: its origins, history, structure(s), and social function. This course explores the concerto, this genre we know especially from the classical and romantic periods, from its baroque origins in vocal music to its "codified" classical structure, and also investigates its cultural and social aspects and functions. Examples for study are drawn from the baroque and classical repertoire. Composers will include Gabrieli, Vivaldi, Bach, Handel, Mozart, Haydn, and early Beethoven. Course objectives: The course seeks to explain and illustrate the concerto as a musical genre, which mimics a social interaction, and, through the study of representative repertoire, to show its evolution though its first century or two. The course will end with the end of the classical era. Course schedule: Date Topics to be presented Repertoire to be discussed 25 Jan The origins of the concerto as a Giovanni Gabrieli: “In ecclesiis” vocal/instrumental genre in Venice, cori spezzati. a14 Issues of style and form.

An interior movement from Handel’s 1707 Il trionfo del Tempo e del Disinganno is the earliest such work, though it is not exactly a keyboard concerto: this single movement features obbligato organ alongside a few other instruments with brief solo lines. In 1713 Johann Mattheson noted that in such a work “each part in turn comes to prominence and vies, as it were, with the other parts.” Antonio Vivaldi also composed several concertos of the same general variety, in which the organ is merely one of several solo colors.
