10Th International Franz Liszt Piano Competition Schadt String Competition Editor’s Note With the arrival of the vaccines, a sliver of light has begun to emerge at the end of a long tunnel. Most presenters and event planners are still in a wait-and-see mode, ever trying to guess when they can return to a semblance of normal business. For competitions, which range from annual to quintennial in their life cycles, this has been particularly challenging: The Musical America Guide to Top Postpone the date of the finals (if you dare predict that far in advance) and consider the cascading impact on every other date in the cycle, from the application deadline to the quarter- and semifinals. Will the venues booked still be available? How about the judges? Will COMPETITIONS they and the contenders be allowed to travel? As such, we have added a few features in the annual Guide to Top Competitions, such as “Pandemic policies and procedures” for each entry, including the option to respond “TBD” for dates and venues. Some have moved the earlier stages of the cycle online, waiting to schedule live rounds until they get the go-ahead from health authorities. Others, like the Bescançon International Competition for Young Conductors, have pushed the application deadline ahead, while maintaining the rest of the original schedule. Perhaps the most novel, not to mention generous, decision was that of the American Pianist Awards, which held its solo semifinals online to choose the finalists and, rather than award one prize to the winner, divided it among the five finalists. It is a testament to all involved that, whether postponing deadlines, changing venues, restructuring the jury, or being forced to make any number of other alterations, these competitions have persevered. Their commitment to bringing new, exceptional talent into the limelight persists, and with that, their continued nourishment and renewal of the field.

Prokofiev was renowned for his uncompromisingly direct behaviour. On one occasion he berated a famous singer saying – within the hearing of her many admirers – that she understood nothing of his music. Seeing her eyes brim, he mercilessly sharpened his tongue and humiliated her still further: ‘All of you women take refuge in tears instead of listening to what one has to say and learning how to correct your faults.’ One of Prokofiev’s long-suffering friends in France, fellow Russian émigré Nicolas Nabokov, sought to explain the composer’s boorishness by saying ‘Prokofiev, by nature, cannot tell a lie. He cannot even say the most conventional lie, such as “This is a charming piece”, when he believes the piece has no charm. […] On the contrary he would say exactly what he thought of it and discuss at great length its faults and its qualities and give valuable suggestions as to how to improve the piece.’ Nabokov said that for anyone with the resilience to withstand Prokofiev’s gruff manner and biting sarcasm he was an invaluable friend.

  • Fri 15 – Sun 17 Mar 2019
    Fri 15 – Sun 17 Mar 2019 RNCM CHAMBER MUSIC FESTIVAL JOSEPH HAYDN: INNOVATION AND INSPIRATION WELCOME This year’s festival pays homage to the innovative genius of Joseph ‘Papa’ Haydn, rightfully known as the ‘Father of the String Quartet’. We explore some of his inspiring and original chamber works as well as seminal compositions including The Seven Last Words of our Saviour on the Cross. Throughout, we showcase our own talented students alongside guests Quatuor Mosaïques, Trio Wanderer, the Heath Quartet, Trio Gaspard, Simon Rowland-Jones and the Benyounes Quartet. We also look at how Haydn’s ‘invention’ developed, the composers directly inspired by him, and some living composers who still refer to his genius. We explore what the string quartet, or indeed, chamber music as a whole has or might become. An ever-present in composition, education and performance, the quartet is capable of ground-breaking experimentation, radical invention and extraordinary expression, and is arguably now a vehicle for innovation in its own right. There is a wide variety of events taking place, from more traditional quartet performances to modern imaginings and arrangements, film screenings, talks and masterclasses, allowing you to curate your own individual and unique journey through this busy weekend and reflect on Haydn’s immense impact as a true original.
