Today Sergei Rachmaninoff, the greatest Russian pianist since Rubinstein, has said: "Only upon a Steinway can the works of the masters be played with full artistic justice." Generation after generation the Steinway stands supreme — the chosen piano of the masters — the immortal instrument of the Immortals of Music.

This symphony is the twelfth which Haydn composed in England for Salomon. It was first performed May 4, 1795, in the large hall of the King's Theatre. The programme was as follows: Part I: MS. Ouverture (Symphony), Haydn; Song (Sig. Rovedino); Concerto for Oboe, Fer- lendis (Sig. Ferlendis of Venice, his first appearance in London) ; Duet, Haydn (Mad. Morichelli and Sig. Morelli); New Ouverture (Symphony), Haydn. Part II: Military Symphony, Haydn; Song (Mad. Morichelli); Concerto for Violin, Viotti (Mr. Viotti); Scena Nuova, Haydn (Mad. Banti) ; Finale. The terms ''overture" and "symphony" were loosely used by pro- gramme-makers of that period. Many of Haydn's symphonies plaj^ed during his visits to London were announced as "overtures," although the music-lexicons of the eighteenth century do not speak of the terms as synonymous. Thus, in the programme above, the first "overture" was the first movement of Haydn's "Military" Symphony, and the other movements were played at the beginning of Part II. of the pro- gramme. (For many years symphonies were thus divided. Thus Hanslick tells us that at Vienna, in 1839, the first two movements of Schubert's Sjonphony in C were separated from each other by an aria SONGS by FLORElMCE MEWELL BARBOUR Florence Newell Barbour is one of the successful women composers of this country.

The "new overture" at the end of Part I. was the Symphony in D (B. & H., No. 2). The concert was most successful. Haydn wrote in his diary: "The hall was filled with a picked audience. The whole company was de- lighted, and so was I. I took in this evening four thousand gulden [about two thousand dollars]. One can make as much as this only in England." It was Haydn's last benefit concert in London. The symphony is scored for flute, two oboes, two clarinets, two bas- soons, two horns, two trumpets, kettledrums, and strings. I. Introduction, Adagio, D minor, 4-4, which opens fortissimo. The main body of the movement. Allegro, D major, 2-2, begins with the announcement of the first theme by the strings.

From the palaces f of ancient Egypt to the concert halls of our modern cities, the wondrous music of the harp has compelled attention from all peoples and all countries. Through this passage of time many changes have been made mm in the original design. The //.' w¥ ear^y instruments shown in y drawings on the tomb of m Rameses II (1292-1225 B.C.) were richly decorated but mm lacked the fore-pillar. Later the "Kinner" developed by the Sr Hebrews took the form as we |Jr know it today. The pedal harp ||F was invented about 1720 by a Wr Bavarian named Hochbrucker and mm through this ingenious device it be- W came possible to play in eight major f and five minor scales complete. Today the harp is an important and familiar instrument providing the "Exquisite Sound" and special effects so important to modern orchestration and arrange- ment.

  • Karel Burian and Hungary Research Director: Anna Dalos Phd Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music Doctoral School No
    DLA Theses Ferenc János Szabó Karel Burian and Hungary Research director: Anna Dalos PhD Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music Doctoral School No. 28 for the History of Art and Culture Budapest 2011 I. Antecedents of the research Karel Burian was one of the best tenors of the first two decades of the twentieth century. The authors of his biographies always mention his Wagner roles – mainly Tristan – and his long presence in New York, and primarily the world premiere of Salome by Richard Strauss, when he played the role of Herod to much acclaim. His reputation and popularity might be measured against those of Enrico Caruso. Burian was first engaged in Budapest as a young but already well- known Wagner-tenor, he worked there for one year as a member of the Opera House, then later as guest singer regularly until his death. He was likely the most influential operatic world star in Budapest at the beginning of the twentieth century, and was the founder and for many years the only intended representative of the Heldentenor role in Hungary. He primarily sang Wagner operas, but there was also a Hungarian opera on his repertoire in Budapest. A study of his activities in Hungary contributes to our knowledge of Hungarian opera life, and Burian’s whole career affected the cultural history of the period because of his frequent guest appearances in Budapest. Burian’s Budapest activity had a great influence on the young composers of that time, most notably on Béla Bartók and Zoltán Kodály as well. There is a relatively large amount of literature about Burian, mostly in Czech, English and German.

It was originally written as an introduction to the tripartite Ring, but the cycle is now generally regarded as consisting of four individual operas. Das Rheingold received its premiere at the National Theatre in Munich on 22 September 1869, with August Kindermann in the role of Wotan, Heinrich Vogl as Loge, and Karl Fischer as Alberich. Wagner wanted this opera to be premiered as part of the entire cycle, but was forced to allow the performance at the insistence of his patron King Ludwig II of Bavaria. The opera received its premiere as part of the complete cycle on 13 August 1876, in the Bayreuther Festspielhaus.

Usually this is because they do not realize with what ease Franz Liszt and convenience a Steinway can at his Steinway be bought. This is evidenced by the great number of people who come to exchange some other piano in partial payment for a Steinway, and say: "If I had only known about your terms I would have had a Steinway long ago!"
