Gestural Patterns in Kujaw Folk Performing Traditions: Implications for the Performer of Chopin's Mazurkas by Monika Zaborowsk

Although scholars from around 1900 exaggerated Chopin’s quotation of Polish folk tunes in their mixed agendas that related ‘Polishness’ to Chopin, many of the rudimentary and more complex elements of Polish folk music are present in his compositions. These elements affect such issues as rhythm and meter, tempo and tempo fluctuation, repetitive motives, undulating melodies, function of I and V harmonies. During his vacations in Szafarnia in the Kujawy region of Central Poland in his late teens, Chopin absorbed aspects of Kujaw performing traditions which served as impulses for his compositions.

Book review: Leikin, Anatole. The Performing Style of Alexander Scriabin. Burlington, VT: Ashgate, 2011. ISBN 978-0-7546-6021-7. Lincoln M. Ballard Nearly a century after the death of Russian pianist-composer Alexander Scriabin (1872–1915), his music remains as enigmatic as it was during his lifetime. His output is dominated by solo piano music that surpasses most amateurs’ capabilities, yet even among concert artists his works languish on the fringes of the standard repertory. Since the 1980s, Scriabin has enjoyed renewed attention from scholars who have contributed two types of studies aside from examinations of his cultural context: theoretical analyses and performance guides. The former group considers Scriabin as an innovative harmoni- cist who paralleled the Second Viennese School’s development of post-tonal procedures, while the latter elucidates the interpretive and technical demands required to deliver compelling performances of his music.

Mozart Complete Fortepiano Concertos Author: Jed Distler
A1 Mozart Complete Fortepiano Concertos Author: Jed Distler Recorded in 2004-06, this Mozart piano concerto cycle first appeared on the small Pro Musica Camerata laBel. In the main, fortepianist Viviana Sofronitsky (stepdaughter of the legendary Russian pianist Vladimir), conductor Tadeusz Karolak and the Musica Antiqua Collegium Varsoviense offer less consistent satisfaction in comparison with complete period instrument sets from Bilson/ Gardiner/English Baroque Soloists (DG) and Immerseel/Anima Eterna Orchestra (Channel Classics). The strings prove alarmingly uneven: scrawny-toned in K503ʼs Rondo, hideously ill-tuned in K595ʼs first movement, yet firmly focused in the sparsely scored K413, 414 and 415 group and the youthful first four concertos, where Sofronitskyʼs nimBle harpsichord mastery oozes sparkle and wit. However, her fortepiano artistry yields mixed results. Her heavy-handed articulation, pounded out Alberti Basses and crude down-Beat accents roB certain Rondo movements of their prerequisite animation and lilt, such as those in K271, 450, 459, 482 and 595. And when you juxtapose her Brusque, dynamically unvaried treatment of the latterʼs Larghetto with Bilsonʼs graceful lyricism, her faster Basic tempo actually seems slower. Orchestrally speaking, little sense of long line and amorphous melody/ accompaniment textures yield rudderless slow movements in K271 and K456 while, at the same time, the rich contrapuntal writing in the Adagio of K488 could hardly By more viBrant and roBust; the first Bassoonist really shines here and in the Allegro assaiʼs rapid solo licks. Strange how percussively the Busy passagework in the outer movements of the E flat Double Concerto (K365) registers, whereas the more difficult-to-Balance Triple Concerto (K242) Benefits from superior microphone placement.

Alexander Scriabin (1871-1915): Piano Miniature As Chronicle of His
ALEXANDER SCRIABIN (1871-1915): PIANO MINIATURE AS CHRONICLE OF HIS CREATIVE EVOLUTION; COMPLEXITY OF INTERPRETIVE APPROACH AND ITS IMPLICATIONS Nataliya Sukhina, B.M., M.M. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2008 APPROVED: Vladimir Viardo, Major Professor Elvia Puccinelli, Minor Professor Pamela Paul, Committee Member Graham Phipps, Director of Graduate Studies in the College of Music James C. Scott, Dean of the College of Music Sandra L. Terrell, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Sukhina, Nataliya. Alexander Scriabin (1871-1915): Piano miniature as chronicle of his creative evolution; Complexity of interpretive approach and its implications. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), May 2008, 86 pp., 30 musical examples, 3 tables, 1 figure, references, 70 titles. Scriabin’s piano miniatures are ideal for the study of evolution of his style, which underwent an extreme transformation. They present heavily concentrated idioms and structural procedures within concise form, therefore making it more accessible to grasp the quintessence of the composer’s thought. A plethora of studies often reviews isolated genres or periods of Scriabin’s legacy, making it impossible to reveal important general tendencies and inner relationships between his pieces. While expanding the boundaries of tonality, Scriabin completed the expansion and universalization of the piano miniature genre. Starting from his middle years the ‘poem’ characteristics can be found in nearly every piece. The key to this process lies in Scriabin’s compilation of certain symbolical musical gestures. Separation between technical means and poetic intention of Scriabin’s works as well as rejection of his metaphysical thought evolution result in serious interpretive implications.

156. FOURTH MOVEMENT Classical Music and Total War: a New
1 156. FOURTH MOVEMENT 1941-44 Classical Music and Total War: a new era The function of music in war has always been twofold: as a means of communication and as a psychological weapon.1 [W]hen both radio and cinema had become mature, ubiquitous technologies . it became possible for governments to impress the art of music wholly into their service. .Marches were still effective. .and the popular song again became the vehicle for knee-jerk sentiments -- but World War II was also the first time that classical music was [comprehensively] mobilized as a weapon of war.2 The Allies co-opted a prize from the Axis by adopting as their trademark the opening notes of Ludwig van Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5 — three Gs and an E-flat, corresponding to three dots and one dash in Morse code — to signify V for Victory. That musical signature served as a recurring leitmotif in Allied films, concerts and countless other . propaganda. .Every combatant nation had musicians willing to contribute what they could to the war effort.3 As a psychological weapon, nothing generated greater support for the wartime Soviet Union than the dramatic creation and premiere-under-fire of Dmitri Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 7: In July 1941. .with the Wehrmacht advancing on Leningrad, he began composing his seventh symphony between shifts as an air raid fireman and while under heavy aerial bombardment. In October the Kremlin ordered him flown out of the city to the wartime capital of Kuybyshev on the Volga River. There, he completed his symphony and dedicated it to Leningrad, which by then was under .

ANATOLY ALEXANDROV: PIANO MUSIC, VOLUME ONE by Malcolm MacDonald he ‘Russian Piano Tradition’ – a term widely used in scholarly discourse, though more oten in discussions of performance than of composition – is a distinct and yet insuiciently mapped and chronicled phenomenon of the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. he rich and complex interrelationships of a legion of remarkable pianists, composer-pianists, pianist-pedagogues and composer-pedagogues established a dynamic of excellence and master-pupil relationships (especially but not exclusively conined to the Conservatoires of Moscow and St Petersburg/Leningrad) that saw the emergence of generation ater generation of great performers and great music, continually reacting upon one another. To mention the names only of – for example – the brothers Rubinstein, Pavel Pabst, Mily Balakirev, Karl Klindworth, Sergei Taneyev, Alexander Skryabin, Georgy Catoire, Felix Blumenthal, Sergei Lyapunov, Nikolai Medtner, Sergei Rachmaninov, Samuil Feinberg, Nikolai Myaskovsky,1 Sergei Prokoiev, Arthur Lourié, Nikolai Roslavets, Alexander Goldenweiser, Alexei Stanchinsky, Konstantin Igumnov, Leonid Nikolayev, Dmitri Shostakovich, Lev Oborin, Vladimir Sofronitsky, Maria Yudina, Herman Galynin, Emil Gilels, Viktor Merzhanov, Svyatoslav Richter, Vladimir Ashkenazy, Nikolai Kapustin – and not to P invoke the current astonishing elorescence of Russian pianistic talent – is to adduce evidence of one of the most vibrant and creative traditions in the history of the piano. Within this galaxy of mingled talent, mastery and genius the igure of Anatoly Nikolayevitch Alexandrov holds an honoured place at least in Russia, though outside it his name remains hardly known. He is a fascinating if eventually enigmatic igure.2 Clearly he was a survivor, for he lived a very long life by the standard of Soviet composers, dying in his nineties.

Discussions of his personal philosophy and its impact on his music also concentrate on these two periods. This thesis examines Scriabin’s philosophy and piano music from a sub-section of his early period—1892 to 1897—that I designate his “formative” period. I argue that Scriabin’s eccentric belief in transcendence through music was already developing and influencing his music during his formative period. Evidence to support this theory is found in three areas: context, performance practice and analysis. A contextual evaluation of Scriabin’s formative years is compared against his late ideologies from his opera and the Mysterium.

Maria Judina
Judina, Maria Profile Maria Yudina was a unique personality who could not be measured according to conventional standards. Mikhail Bakhtin summarised her activities in the following words: „Ну, прежде всего что в ней поражало? Что она вообще любила и исполняла музыку сильную […], музыка, которая, так сказать, ну, была на пределе музыкального и чего-то более высокого, мифологического или религиозного. […] основная черта Марии Вениаминовны как человека и как деятеля культурного – она никак не могла уложить себя в Fach, то есть в какую-то специальность, она не могла ограничиться одной музыкой, нет. Она все время пыталась вырваться шире: вот религия, потом общественная деятельность. Но уложиться в рамки одной музыки, стать профессионалом, только профессионалом, она не могла никак! Всякий профессионализм таким людям абсолютно чужд. И вот поэтому в музыке она брала все то, что лежит на границе музыки и других искусств, отчасти – поэзии, романтической поэзии. […] Романтизм ее страстно привлекал. А романтизм ведь все время, так сказать, бился о пределы, о грани литературы, поэзии, чтобы выйти за эти пределы и стать чем-то вроде религии и так далее. И вот то же самое и у нее. Она брала музыку там, где она была близка либо к поэзии Die Pianistin Maria Judina романтического типа, к поэзическому откровению, либо к откровению религиозному.“ ("What, then, was Maria Judina (orig.: Мария Вениаминовна Юдина) so astonishing about her?

He began to show signs of musical talent as a child, and at irst it was not clear whether he was going to be principally a pianist or a composer. He started his irst piano lessons at the age of nine with his mother, Soiya Vadilyevna Kokaoulina, who had studied the piano at Irkutsk in her native Siberia and later at the St Petersburg Conservatoire. He was such a quick learner that he soon progressed to study with the distinguished but irascible piano teacher Ignati Albertovich Glyasser; and two years later entered the Conservatoire at the age of thirteen as a member of the class of Alexandra Rozanova, who had been his mother’s piano teacher. Later he became a pupil of Leonid Nikolayev, a highly cultured composer and pianist whose piano pupils included such prominent virtuosi as Shostakovich’s friends and contemporaries Maria Yudina, Lev Oborin and Vladimir Sofronitsky. During all this time the pull of composition was getting stronger – he had improvised little piano pieces almost as soon as he learned to play, and his irst published works for piano were written while he was still a Conservatoire student. But Shostakovich admired and valued Nikolayev, his piano teacher, much more than his composition teacher Maximilian Steinberg, and immediately ater leaving the Conservatoire he was ranked as a promising concert pianist.
