  • A Survey of Czech Piano Cycles: from Nationalism to Modernism (1877-1930)
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: A SURVEY OF CZECH PIANO CYCLES: FROM NATIONALISM TO MODERNISM (1877-1930) Florence Ahn, Doctor of Musical Arts, 2018 Dissertation directed by: Professor Larissa Dedova Piano Department The piano music of the Bohemian lands from the Romantic era to post World War I has been largely neglected by pianists and is not frequently heard in public performances. However, given an opportunity, one gains insight into the unique sound of the Czech piano repertoire and its contributions to the Western tradition of piano music. Nationalist Czech composers were inspired by the Bohemian landscape, folklore and historical events, and brought their sentiments to life in their symphonies, operas and chamber works, but little is known about the history of Czech piano literature. The purpose of this project is to demonstrate the unique sentimentality, sensuality and expression in the piano literature of Czech composers whose style can be traced from the solo piano cycles of Bedřich Smetana (1824-1884), Antonín Dvořák (1841-1904), Leoš Janáček (1854-1928), Josef Suk (1874-1935), Bohuslav Martinů (1890-1935) to Erwin Schulhoff (1894-1942).

  • Marta Filipová, National Treasure Or a Redundant Relic: the Roles of The
    RIHA Journal 0066 | 26 February 2013 National treasure or a redundant relic: the roles of the vernacular in Czech art Marta Filipová Editing and peer review managed by: Iain Boyd Whyte, Visual Arts Research Institute Edinburgh (VARIE) Reviewers: Christopher Long, Tomáš Winter Abstract The article examines the reception of folk art in the visual culture of Bohemia and Czechoslovakia and focuses on the shift in the meaning of folk art in the period of early twentieth-century modernism. It examines closely the main attitudes and approaches to folk art in examples drawn from painting, sculpture and architecture as well as art theory in the Czech-speaking regions from the end of the nineteenth century until the early 1930s. This politically important period that saw the transformation of the Habsburg monarchy into new independent states, including Czechoslovakia, was also marked by the establishment of modernism in Central Europe. Many Czech artists were turning to more cosmopolitan ideas, while simultaneously they retained some of the ideas and ideals from the nineteenth century national revival. These shifts were reflected in the various roles folk art was given, ranging from its association with a nostalgic return to pre-industrial society, to an ideological tool of national revival, and to a redundant relic of the past. Folk art, therefore, is understood as a complex phenomenon, which disrupts the reading of modernism in Central Europe as a straightforward embrace of cosmopolitan ideas in the visual arts and art theory and that challenges the historical opposition between folk art and high art. Simultaneously, its central role in the formation of Central European modernism is emphasized as crucial to our understanding of Central European art in this period.

  • Decca Classics Will Release the Recording of Janáček's Glagolitic
    Czech Philharmonic recordings JANÁČEK: GLAGOLITIC MASS Jiří Bělohlávek, conductor Release date: Friday 31 August 2018 (4834080) On 31 August, Decca Classics will release the Czech Philharmonic's recording of Janáček's Glagolitic Mass, Sinfonietta, Taras Bulba and The Fiddler’s Child conducted by the late Jiří Bělohlávek. With the release of Smetana’s Má vlast (My Homeland) at the beginning of the year, the recordings mark some of the last that Bělohlávek made with the Orchestra for Decca Classics. 90 years since Janáček’s death in 1928, the Czech Philharmonic continues to champion the music of its homeland as it has done since its inaugural concert in 1896 when it gave the première of Dvořák's Biblical Songs conducted by the composer. Of the works featured on this release, Janáček's The Fiddler's Child and Sinfonietta both received their world premières from the Czech Philharmonic, the former under Otakar Ostrčil in 1917 and the latter under Václav Talich in 1926. Talich also conducted the Czech Philharmonic in the Prague première of Taras Bulba in 1924. The Orchestra made earlier recordings of the Glagolitic Mass with Karel Ančerl, Václav Neumann and Sir Charles Mackerras, but this is the first under Jiří Bělohlávek who chose to conduct the work at the First Night of the 2011 BBC Proms. Jiří Bělohlávek's recordings with the Czech Philharmonic for Decca Classics include Dvořák’s complete Symphonies & Concertos, Slavonic Dances and Stabat Mater, which was chosen as Album of the Week by The Sunday Times. Under its new Chief Conductor and Music Director, Semyon Bychkov, the Orchestra have recently embarked on The Tchaikovsky Project – recordings of the complete symphonies, the three piano concertos, Romeo & Juliet, Serenade for Strings and Francesca da Rimini.

  • Botticelli Triptych
    RESPIGHI Botticelli Triptych November 2014 6 From the President J.D. Scott Dear Friends: Since the 1920s The Philadelphia Orchestra has engaged young people, and indeed people of all ages, with the joys and thrills of orchestral music through the presentation of numerous programs. Today that tradition continues with expanded offerings, which are more important than ever. November is School Concert month at The Philadelphia Orchestra. This year’s theme, Music and Art: Instruments of Expression, explores how these two artistic forms serve as a means for understanding ourselves and the world around us. The concert, led by our new assistant conductor, Lio Kuokman, will make powerful connections between music and other creative forms in a guided tour through vibrant sounds and images. This month also brings the first of our Open Rehearsals for Students, allowing high school and college students a behind- the-scenes peek at how a concert comes together, and a rare opportunity to observe first-hand the artistic collaboration between musicians and conductors. It’s a fascinating way to get even closer to the music. From Sound All Around (our award-winning program for 3-5 year olds) to Family Concerts, from PreConcert Conversations to Free Neighborhood Concerts, PlayINs, Side-by-Side rehearsals, and LiveNote (our recently launched interactive concert guide for mobile devices), our collaborative learning offerings are a key element of the Orchestra’s mission. Our community offerings take Orchestra musicians offstage, on the road, and into the lives of music-lovers throughout the Philadelphia region, celebrating the wealth of musicianship in this area.

  • Zemlinsky's the Chalk Circle: Artifice, Fairy-Tale and Humanity
    Zemlinsky's The Chalk Circle: Artifice, Fairy-tale and Humanity ROBERT BLACKBURN 1 Ich binfriedlos, ich bin durstig nachfernen Dingen. (I am restless. I am athirst for faraway things.) Tagore, Der Gartner I Zemlinsky, Lyric Symphony The life and work of the Austrian composer Alexander Zemlinsky (1871-1942) is better known than it used to be thanks to the passage of time, and the availability now of almost all his music on record. During his lifetime he became used to neglect and under-valuation, except from his most intimate circle. Arnold Schoenberg was his lifelong friend and brother in law, and it was Schoenberg, who, even during the years when his "reluctant revolution" of twentieth century modernism in music was attracting so much attention, never for a moment lost his admiration for and loyalty towards Alex, his much-loved teacher and colleague through so many trials. Now that the correspondence between them has been published I we can see the extent and detail of their relationship, their intense and consistent lifelong devotion, despite some disagreements. On Zernlinsky's side we are aware always that he felt Schoenberg was the greater genius, a unique pioneering figure. In the letters, he is always "lieber Schoenberg" 1. Alexander Zemlinsky (ed. and enlarged by Horst Weber), Briefwechsel mil Schoenberg, Webern, Berg und Schreker, Darmstadt Wissenschaftliche Buchhandlung, 1995. 94 Revista Musica, Silo Paulo, v. 9 e 10, pp. 93-119, 1998-1999 never Arnold. For Schoenberg, who always addressed him as "Heber Alex," Zemlinsky was someone he could, beyond all others, rely on for succour and support.
