The independent labels, too, have some particularly strong releases this month, with Chandos discs including Bartók's Bluebeard’s Castle from Edward Gardner in Bergen, and the keenly awaited second volume of British tone poems under Rumon Gamba.

  • A Performer's Analysis of Liszt's Sonetto 47 Del Petrarca
    A PERFORMER’S ANALYSIS OF LISZT’S SONETTO 47 DEL PETRARCA A CREATIVE PROJECT SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE MASTER OF MUSIC IN PIANO PERFORMANCE AND PEDAGOGY BY SHUANG CHEN DR. LORI RHODEN - ADVISOR BALL STATE UNIVERSITY MUNCIE, INDIANA MAY 2013 Liszt was born in the part of western Hungary that became known today as the Burgenland. As one of the leaders of the Romantic movement in music, Liszt developed new methods of piano performance and composition; he anticipated the ideas/procedures of music in the 20th century. He also promoted the method of thematic transformation as part of his revolution in form, made radical experiments in harmony, and invented the symphonic poem for orchestra. He was a composer, teacher and most importantly, a highly accomplished pianist. As one of the greatest piano virtuosos of his time, he had excellent technique and a dazzling performance ability that gained him fame and enabled the spreading of the knowledge of other composers’ music. He was also committed to preserving and promoting the best music from the past, including Bach, Handel, Schubert, Weber and Beethoven. Liszt had a strong religious background, which was contradictory to his love for worldly sensationalism. It is fair, however, to say that he was a great man who had a positive influence on people around him. From the 1830-1840’s, Liszt developed a new vocabulary for technique and musical expression in the piano world. He was able to do so partly because of the advances in the mechanical construction of the instrument.

In order to make a thorough and clear analysis of this relationship a structural/semiotic analysis has been developed as the analysis of best fit. Historically it has been fashionable to see Liszt's symphonic poems in terms of sonata form or a form only making sense in terms of the attached programme. Both of these ideas are critically examined in this analysis.

Today, Liszt’s stature in the music world seems diminished—his music is not all that regularly performed, aside from a few works, such as the B minor piano sonata, that have never gone out of favor; and he is more a name in the history books than an indispensable part of our concert life.

  • Images Et Citations Littéraires Dans La Musique À Programme De Liszt : Pour Un « Renouvellement De La Musique Par Son Alliance Plus Intime Avec La Poésie »
    Les colloques de l’Opéra Comique La modernité française au temps de Berlioz. Février 2010 sous la direction d’Alexandre DRATWICKI et Agnès TERRIER Images et citations littéraires dans la musique à programme de Liszt : pour un « renouvellement de la Musique par son alliance plus intime avec la Poésie » Nicolas DUFETEL Weimar, 1860. Après avoir animé pendant seize ans la vie musicale de cette ville provinciale à l’histoire culturelle extraordinaire, capitale d’un petit grand-duché que son prince, Carl Alexander, ambitionnait de transformer en Florence de l’Allemagne1, Franz Liszt porte un regard rétrospectif sur sa carrière de maître de chapelle « en service extraordinaire » – car c’est bien le titre qu’il a toujours conservé, même après que son prédécesseur, Hippolyte Chélard, n’eut été forcé à prendre sa retraite en 1851. Liszt ne fut donc jamais le « maître de chapelle » tout court de Weimar. Ce détail, loin d’être insignifiant, éclaire de façon importante le statut institutionnel et la liberté de celui qu’on présente habituellement comme le maître de chapelle en titre de Carl Alexander2. En 1 Voir le compte rendu de la conversation entre Carl Alexander et Liszt du 11 février 1861 (D- WRI Grossherzogliches Hausarchiv AXXVI/560a, 156). Cet article est fondé sur des recherches menées à l’Institut für Musikwissenschaft Weimar-Jena dans le cadre d’un programme postdoctoral de la Fondation Alexander von Humbolt (2010-2012). 2 Voir Staats-Handbuch für das Großherzogthum Sachsen-Weimar-Eisenach 1855, Weimar, Druck des Landes-Industrie-Comptoirs, 1855, p. 47.
