Rockwood Doctor of Philosophy School of Music and Dance June 2017 Title: Form, Style, and Influence in the Chamber Music of Antonin Dvořák The last thirty years have seen a resurgence in the research of sonata form. One groundbreaking treatise in this renaissance is James Hepokoski and Warren Darcy’s 2006 monograph Elements of Sonata Theory : Norms, Types, and Deformations in the Late-Eighteenth- Century Sonata. Hepokoski and Darcy devise a set of norms in order to characterize typical happenings in a late 18 th -century sonata. Subsequently, many theorists have taken these norms (and their deformations) and extrapolate them to 19 th -century sonata forms.

  • Percy Grainger and New Worlds of Concert Pianism
    Percy Grainger and New Worlds of Concert Pianism: A Study of Repertoire and Programming (1914-1926) Natalie Stephanie Bellio Dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Music (By Research) October 2013 Melbourne Conservatorium of Music The University of Melbourne Produced on archival quality paper Abstract This thesis presents an overview of Percy Grainger’s piano repertoire and programming on his tours in the United States and elsewhere in the period 1914-1926. In the United States, Percy Grainger encountered a new and wider audience, which gave him the recognition he desired to become well established as a concert pianist, and allowed him the freedom to explore a wider range of piano repertoire, as well as perform his own piano works. He developed an individual approach to programming his piano recitals and committed himself to a role as ambassador for the piano works of selected modern composers throughout America, Scandinavia and Australia. This thesis briefly explores Grainger’s performing career in London from 1901 to 1914, to provide background on Grainger’s roles as a pianist, the diversity of the piano repertoire he performed, and the restrictive circumstances surrounding his early career whilst under the management of his mother Rose. Through new research conducted on concert programmes and other relevant archival material available at the Grainger Museum, this thesis examines Grainger’s transformation as a pianist, the evolution of his selection of piano repertoire and his innovative and maturing approach to recital programming in the United States from 1914 to 1926. In addition, this study explores Grainger’s developing professional role as an educator and promoter of his preferred piano repertoire in the United States.

Stations. (2) The words "Outside Broadcast" or "O.B." refer to a broadcast outside the B.B.C. studios, not necessarily out -of- doors; e.g. a concert in the Queen's Hall or the commentary on the Derby are equally outside broadcasts. (3) The B.B.C. organisation consists, roughly speaking, of a Head Office and five provincial Regions- Midland Region, North Region, Scottish Region, West Region, and Belfast. The Head Office includes the administration of a sixth Region - the London Region-which supplies the National programme as well as the London Regional programme.

URITSKY and SEIGEL, Mr. ZARETSKY, and Ms. BABCOCK Baldwin piano Please exit to your left for supper following the concert. The performers appreciate your not smoking during the concert. Week 10 Johannes Brahms Sonata No. 2 in A for violin and piano, Opus 100 Some composers have maintained that the violin is the instrument that comes closest to reproducing the singing quality of the human voice. Whether or not Brahms ever espoused this view, his violin sonatas give tacit assent: they are among the most lyrical of all his chamber compositions, and the first two, at least, emphasize this fact by actually quoting from his own Lieder. Brahms spent the summer of 1886 in the splendor of Switzerland, on the shores of Lake Thun, a place that proved to be so congenial to his mood that he returned for the two following summers. His first stay saw the completion of three chamber works: the second cello sonata, Opus 99, the second violin sonata, Opus 100, and the third piano trio, Opus 101.

WORCESTER Thirty-first Season, J9H-J9J2 MAX FIEDLER, Conductor frogramm* of % FIRST CONCERT WITH HISTORICAL AND DESCRIP- TIVE NOTES BY PHILIP HALE TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 28 AT 8.00 i COPYRIGHT, 1911, BY C. A. ELLIS PUBLISHED BY C. A. ELLIS, MANAGER : : Vladimir De Pachmann The Greatest Pianist Of the 20th Century ON TOUR IN THE UNITED STATES SEASON: 1911-1912 For generations the appearance of new stars on the musical firmament has been announced — then they came with a temporary glitter — soon to fade and to be forgotten. De Pachmann has outlived them all. With each return he won additional resplendence and to-day he is acknowl- edged by the truly artistic public to be the greatest exponent of the piano of the twentieth century. As Arthur Symons, the eminent British critic, says " Pachmann is the Verlaine or Whistler of the Pianoforte the greatest player of the piano now living." Pachmann, as before, uses the BALDWIN PIANO for the expression of his magic art, the instrument of which he himself says " .... It cries when I feel like crying, it sings joyfully when I feel like singing. It responds — like a human being — to every mood. I love the Baldwin Piano." Every lover of the highest type of piano music will, of course, go to hear Pachmann — to revel in the beauty of his music and to marvel at it. It is the beautiful tone quality, the voice which is music itself, and the wonderfully responsive action of the Baldwin Piano, by which Pachmann's miraculous hands reveal to you the thrill, the terror and the ecstasy of a beauty which you had never dreamed was hidden in sounds.
