It set new standards in size and complexity, at least in Bthe field of instrumental music, and in it the composer advanced so far ahead of his first audience that many of them were left with a feeling of be- wilderment, if not outright hostility – a situation that has since been repeated several times with works of other composers. Where did this new style spring from? Some have seen it as merely a continuation of the path set by Beetho- ven’s Second Symphony, which was also longer and more imposing than any previous symphony. There are indeed some similarities between the two works, such as the opening theme being played by the cellos rather than the violins.

The symphony exists in three distinct versions, only two of which are familiar, even to Bruck - ner aficionados. The first version was composed in 1874 and revised in 1876 but withdrawn by the composer before it could be performed. It was first pub - lished a century later in 1975 and now occupies a secure if secondary place in the canon of Bruckner’s works. The second version was composed between 1878 and 1880, and premièred in February 1881. This is now by far the most often performed version of the symphony. The third version, completed in 1888 and published in 1890, is now much less well-known than its predecessors, yet this was the form in which Bruckner published the symphony and in which it established its reputation as one of the composer’s finest and most com mu nica - tive works.

  • ICTURES at an XHIBITION E Mussorgsky Schumann
    EII OUE MINNESOTA J ORCHESTRA ravel orchestrations PICTURES at an XHIBITION E mussorgsky schumann chabrier debussy ravel A PROF. JOHNSON 24-BIT RECORDING the orchestrator ravelNothing fascinated Maurice Ravel more than translating piano music into the language of the virtuoso orchestra. The time was ripe, for by 1900 Rimsky- Korsakov and Richard Strauss had brought a new opulence to symphonic scoring. Son of a Swiss engineer and automotive pioneer, Ravel was a born transcriber who prided himself on the precision of his orchestral craft as he stretched the instruments to the limits of what they could do. Like Debussy, Ravel was trained primarily as a pianist, and most of what he wrote originated at the keyboard. But everything was fair game for his brilliant metamorphoses, not only his own piano works which were given dual lives, but also the music of others, some of which remains unpublished. Paradoxically, though he was a master of the orchestra, only three of Ravel’s own symphonic works were originally scored for orchestra, beginning with the Rapsodie espagnol of 1907, when he was already 32 and quite famous in France. His transformations are so compelling that it is hard to remember that the orchestral sonorities are not the originals. Ravel: Alborada del gracioso Bizet’s Carmen, produced in the year Ravel was born, marked the beginning of the Gallic intrigue with the Iberian peninsula. But of all the Frenchmen susceptible to the smoldering rhythms that seemed to waft from across the Pyrénées, none carried on a more addictive flirtation with the idiom than Ravel, who created music bearing the imprint of his heritage.

Guy Stanton Ford saw the university through a time of trial and challenge, when the country was being drawn into a second world war, never losing either the historian's broad view of human ex­ perience or the civilized man's deep insight into principle. Ford's service to the university already had been long and expert. In 1913 when he came to Minnesota as dean of the Graduate School he had had to deal with only 175 students. A decade and a half later the total number of individuals enrolled in its programs during the calen­ dar year had risen to 2164. In 1938 when Ford ended his deanship to become president the comparable enrollment figure was 3299. In a re­ cent year the total number of individuals registered in the Graduate School for fall, winter, spring, and two summer sessions reached 5676. During Ford's time the university itself had grown tremendously but while its figures increased five times over, those of the Graduate School were multiplied by thirty. So startling a change in outlook must be accounted for by a change in administrative policy.
