  • Charles Villiers Stanford's Experiences with and Contributions
    Charles Villiers Stanford’s Experiences with and contributions to the solo piano repertoire Adèle Commins Charles Villiers Stanford (1852-1924) has long been considered as one of the leaders of the English Musical Renaissance on account of his work as composer, conductor and pedagogue. In his earlier years he rose to fame as a piano soloist, having been introduced to the instrument at a very young age. It is no surprise then that his first attempts at composition included a march for piano in i860.1 The piano continued to play an important role in Stanford’s compositional career and his last piano work, Three Fancies, is dated 1923. With over thirty works for the instrument, not counting his piano duets, Stanford’s piano pieces can be broadly placed in three categories: (i) piano miniatures or character pieces which are in the tradition of salon or domestic music; (ii) works which have a pedagogical function; and (iii) works which are written in a more virtuosic vein. In each of these categories many of the works remain unpublished. In most cases the piano scores are not available for purchase and this has hindered performances after his death.2 The repertoire of pianists should not be limited to the music of European composers and publishers, like performers, are responsible for the exposure a composer’s works receives. New editions of Stanford’s piano music need to be created and published in order to raise awareness of the richness of Stanford’s contribution to piano literature. While there has been renewed interest in the composer’s life and music by musicologists and performers — primarily initiated by the recent Stanford biographies in 2002 by Dibble and Rodmell — the 1 Originally termed Opus 1 in Stanford’s sketch book it was reproduced in Anon., ‘Charles Villiers Stanford’, The Musical Times and Singing Class Circular, 39 670 (1898), 785-793 (p.

  • The First Piano Concerto of Johannes Brahms: Its History and Performance Practice
    THE FIRST PIANO CONCERTO OF JOHANNES BRAHMS: ITS HISTORY AND PERFORMANCE PRACTICE A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS by Mark Livshits Diploma Date August 2017 Examining Committee Members: Dr. Joyce Lindorff, Advisory Chair, Keyboard Studies Dr. Charles Abramovic, Keyboard Studies Dr. Michael Klein, Music Studies Dr. Maurice Wright, External Member, Temple University, Music Studies ABSTRACT In recent years, Brahms’s music has begun to occupy a larger role in the consciousness of musicologists, and with this surge of interest came a refreshingly original approach to his music. Although the First Piano Concerto op. 15 of Johannes Brahms is a beloved part of the standard piano repertoire, there is a curious under- representation of the work through the lens of historical performance practice. This monograph addresses the various aspects that comprise a thorough performance practice analysis of the concerto. These include pedaling, articulation, phrasing, and questions of tempo, an element that takes on greater importance beyond just complicating matters technically. These elements are then put into the context of Brahms’s own pianism, conducting, teaching, and musicological endeavors based on first and second-hand accounts of the composer’s work. It is the combining of these concepts that serves to illuminate the concerto in a far more detailed fashion, and ultimately enabling us to re-evaluate whether the time honored modern interpretations of the work fall within the boundaries that Brahms himself would have considered effective and accurate. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Many thanks to my committee and Dr.

  • Johannes Brahms JOHANNES BRAHMS (1833-1897) Piano Sonata PIANO SONATA NO.3 FANTASIEN OP.116 KLAVIERSTÜCKE OP.119 Fantasien Op.116 - Klavierstücke Op.119 JON NAKAMATSU
    johannes brahms JOHANNES BRAHMS (1833-1897) piano sonata PIANO SONATA NO.3 FANTASIEN OP.116 KLAVIERSTÜCKE OP.119 Fantasien op.116 - Klavierstücke op.119 JON NAKAMATSU This disc presents three of Brahms’s finest piano works. The Fantasias and Klavierstücke, which date from his last years, are also among the best-known. jon Nakamatsu Jon Nakamatsu, Gold Medal Winner at the 1997 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, judiciously adds a much earlier work, the Third Sonata written when the composer was twenty. ’ - CD Now HMA 1957339 ‘Nakamatsu is clearly a major talent. Have compositional style and substance ever enjoyed a more intimate marriage than in music by Brahms? Elliptically avoiding conventional stages of artistic growth, Brahms from the first wrote works of an uncommon wisdom and of a maturity that is informed by the ineffable. Nostalgia infuses all of his music, and by the time he reached old age, having composed for more than forty years, this nostalgia had intensified to a compound for which we have no name, a poetic tristesse that amalgamates melancholy, wistfulness, longing, and regret. This essence is Brahms’s alone. That Brahms was different, even difficult, was immediately evident. After the first American performance of the Piano Trio op.8 in 1855, for instance, The New York Times praised its ‘many good points, and much sound musicianship’, yet remarked that the ‘motives . suggest something that had been heard before, and induce a skeptical frame of mind, not altogether just . .’1 For a critic to question his own skepticism is fascinating in itself, and it implies that the ‘something heard before’ was not a theme per se nor a ‘motivo’, but rather, if less definably, an ethos that echoed the past.
