    THE MULTI-FACETED ARTISTRY OF VIOLIST EMANUEL VARDI BY LYDIA M. TANG THESIS 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, 2016 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Rudolf Haken, Chair Associate Professor Katherine Syer, Director of Research Associate Professor Scott Schwartz Professor Stephen Taylor Clinical Assistant Professor Elizabeth Freivogel Abstract As a pioneer viola virtuoso of the 20th century, Emanuel “Manny” Vardi (c. 1915-2011) is most widely recognized as the first violist to record all of Paganini’s Caprices. As a passionate advocate for the viola as a solo instrument, Vardi premiered and championed now-standard repertoire, elevated the technique of violists by his virtuosic example, and inspired composers to write more demanding new repertoire for the instrument. However, the details of his long and diverse career have never to date been explored in depth or in a comprehensive manner. This thesis presents the first full biographical narrative of Vardi’s life: highlighting his work with the NBC Symphony under Arturo Toscanini, his activities as a soloist for the United States Navy Band during World War II, his compositional output, visual artwork, an analysis of his playing and teaching techniques, as well as his performing and recording legacies in classical, jazz, and popular music. Appendices include a chronology of his life, discography, lists of compositions written by and for Vardi, registered copyrights, and a list of interviews conducted by the author with family members, former students, and colleagues.

  • Sibelius (1865-1957, Finland)
    SCANDINAVIAN, FINNISH & BALTIC CONCERTOS From the 19th Century to the Present A Discography of CDs and LPs Prepared by Michael Herman Jean Sibelius (1865-1957, Finland) Born in Hämeenlinna, Häme Province. Slated for a career in law, he left the University of Helsingfors (now Helsinki) to study music at the Helsingfors Conservatory (now the Sibelius Academy). His teachers were Martin Wegelius for composition and Mitrofan Vasiliev and Hermann Csilag. Sibelius continued his education in Berlin studying counterpoint and fugue with Albert Becker and in Vienna for composition and orchestration with Robert Fuchs and Karl Goldmark. He initially aimed at being a violin virtuoso but composition soon displaced that earlier ambition and he went on to take his place as one of the world's greatest composer who not only had fame in his own time but whose music lives on without any abatement. He composed a vast amount of music in various genres from opera to keyboard pieces, but his orchestral music, especially his Symphonies, Violin Concerto, Tone Poems and Suites, have made his name synonymous with Finnish music. Much speculation and literature revolves around Sibelius so-called "Symphony No. 8." Whether he actually wrote it and destroyed it or never wrote it all seems less important than the fact that no such work now exists.

  • Julius Watkins and the Evolution of the Jazz French Horn Genre
    JULIUS WATKINS AND THE EVOLUTION OF THE JAZZ FRENCH HORN GENRE By PATRICK GREGORY SMITH A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2005 Copyright 2005 by Patrick Gregory Smith This dissertation is dedicated to the memory of Donald A. Carlson (1948-2001). ACKNOWLEDGMENTS In my efforts to “channel Julius” I have had support and guidance from numerous individuals who deserve my heartfelt thanks and personal gratitude. I cannot overstate my appreciation for my degree supervisor, Dr. David Z. Kushner. With his enthusiasm, teachings, and inspiration, he has helped to increase my passion for music history and, in turn, made me a more competent educator. Throughout my dissertation writing period, he provided support, sound advice, good company and plentiful commentary. I would have been lost without him. I would like to thank Dr. Paul Basler for his guidance, mentorship, empathy and musicality. His encouragement for the performance of non-traditional repertoire for our instrument has caused a significant broadening in my own musical tastes. He has been a teacher and a colleague, and because of him, I am a better horn player and, ultimately, a better person. I would like to thank the other members of my supervisory committee, Dr. Art Jennings, Dr. Leslie Odom, and Dr. Eldon Turner, for their individual help and insightful teachings over the previous semesters. I am grateful to Dr. John Duff whose endless encouragement and generosity in supporting my musicological endeavors has been most appreciated.

Apparently, none of the Gershwins had been musical and in his early boyhood George gave little indication of being an exception. When the Gershwin family acquired a piano in 1910, George started lessons at once. In 1912 George began studies with Charles Hambitzer. Hambitzer, a splendid musician, had a profound influence on the boy’s musical development. He introduced him to not only the classics but also to different modern styles and taught him harmony, theory, and instru- mentation. Popular music became a passion for the young Gershwin. In 1913 he wrote his first piece of real music, a song called “Since I Found You.” He began to study the music of Irving Berlin and Jerome Kern and soon found a job in Tin Pan Alley, as staff pianist and song plugger for Remick at fifteen dollars a week. He was only fifteen at the time, the youngest employee in the Alley. He was serious about his music, and in 1915 became a pupil of Edward Kilenyi in harmony, theory, and orchestration. By 1916 he had entered the professional ranks as a songwriter. His talent was beginning to attract notice.
