Musical Timing in the Adagio from Brahms’ Violin Concerto, Op Musical Timing in the Adagio from Brahms’ Violin Concerto, Op. 77: an Empirical Study of Rubato in Recorded Performances Dating From 1927 to 1973 Edward Cross Submitted in fulfilment of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Arts and Cultures March 2014 Abstract The inter-war period of the twentieth century represents something of a ‘golden age’ in solo violin playing. In addition to an unprecedented degree of technical prowess, a huge amount of variety existed between different performers, with the majority of well-known artists exhibiting their own unique sound and manner of delivery. One area of expression in which a divergence of approach is most evident is that of musical timing, whereby performers utilise what is generally termed ‘rubato’ in order to convey either the structure or emotional character of the music. This thesis utilises specialised computational methods of empirical analysis in order to investigate how rubato is used in thirty recordings of the Adagio from Brahms’ Violin Concerto, Op. 77, made by eminent performers who were active during this period. By comparing these recordings in detail, the principle aim is to ascertain just how much performers differ in their approaches to musical timing and, conversely, where there is some degree of common practice. Literary sources pertaining to rubato from the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries are also scrutinised, in order to determine to what extent these written descriptions of rubato relate to use of the device in real-life performances. Key stylistic traits are identified and categorised, in order to inform performers who are looking to incorporate something of this twentieth-century style of rubato into their own playing. To date, the vast majority of empirical studies of performance have been conducted in the field of music psychology, with musicological approaches tending to favour close- listening methods in order to identify key stylistic traits. This study has attempted to use both empirical analysis and close-listening in tandem, which allows for the identification of common timing patterns across all thirty recordings, as well as the detailed examination of idiosyncrasies within their respective musical contexts. Sonic Visualiser software has been used to create a number of innovative video examples that incorporate tempo graphs with the original recorded sound, in order to see and hear what is happening in the music simultaneously. i Acknowledgements I would like to thank my supervisory team at Newcastle University, Bethany Lowe and Kirsten Gibson, for their help and encouragement over the course of this project.

For here we are concerned with something living and flowing that can never be the same even twice in succession. That is why metronome markings are inadequate and almost worthless; for unless the work is vulgarly ground out in barrel-organ style, the tempo will have already changed by the second bar… What matters is that the whole should be alive, and, within the bounds of this freedom, be built up with irrevocable inevitability.1 The period between the two world wars is often referred to somewhat nostalgically as the ‘golden age of violin playing’, due to the proliferation of talented and distinctive violinists who were either already well-established or in the process of forging their careers at this time.2 This thesis examines thirty recordings of the Adagio from Brahms’ Violin Concerto, Op. 77 by players who were active during this period, in order to scrutinise the manner in which these performers utilise rubato – one of the key constituents of musical expression – in this kind of late-Romantic repertoire. The thirty recordings that are utilised date from 1927 to 1973; although this time frame extends beyond the inter-war period in question, it allows for the inclusion of performances by key figures such as Nathan Milstein, David Oistrakh, Henryk Szeryng and Isaac Stern who did not record this particular piece until later in their careers. The vast majority of existing literature pertaining to violin playing of the inter-war period is largely biographical, with little emphasis being placed on specifics of performing style.3 This study takes a different approach, utilising innovative empirical methods of computational analysis in order to offer detailed stylistic insight into the way in which 1 Bauer-Lechner, N. (1923) Erinnerungen an Gustav Mahler, p. 46. 2 Wen, E. (1992) ‘The twentieth century’, in Stowell, R. (ed.) The Cambridge companion to the violin, p. 84. 3 Roth, H. (1997) Violin virtuosos: from Paganini to the 21st century. and Schwarz, B. (1983) Great masters of the violin. are fairly typical of the existing literature; although they offer a large amount of useful historical and anecdotal information, details concerning the specifics of individual players’ performing style are scarce and tend to be somewhat generalised. 1 these performers manipulated musical time. Analytical evidence is examined in the light of literary sources pertaining to rubato from the late-nineteenth and early- twentieth centuries, in order to demonstrate how these written descriptions relate to use of the expressive device in performance. Key stylistic traits are identified and subsequently categorised, with a view to ‘informing’ performers who are looking to incorporate something of this style of rubato into their own playing. A number of hypotheses will be tested, including the generally-held view that tempo was treated far more flexibly at the beginning of the twentieth century and gradually became more uniform over time, thus creating a greater degree of similarity between different performers. Issues of structural delineation will also be examined – in particular Neil Todd’s model of ‘phrase final lengthening’ – in the context of Brahms’ Adagio, in order to demonstrate how approaches vary throughout the half-century of recorded evidence.4 This introductory chapter deals with a number of key areas of interest, beginning with the importance of rubato in the performance of late-Romantic music. Subsequent sections, concerning contemporary approaches to analysis and the study of performance, are intended to place this study into a wider musicological context, as well as giving some background to the methodology that has been chosen for analysing performances. Rubato in Nineteenth-Century Music. Dictionary definitions of the term ‘rubato’ that date from the nineteenth- and early- twentieth centuries are far from consistent in their descriptions of the device, as will be examined further in chapter one; it should be noted that in the context of this study the term ‘rubato’ is used in a very general sense to describe flexibility of tempo, both on a small or large scale. 4 This model is outlined in Todd, N. (1985) ‘A model of expressive timing in tonal music’, Music Perception, 3(1), pp. 33-58. 2 Of all the elements of musical expression, timing is arguably the most important in that it governs the rate at which musical events occur over time, thus determining the overall pacing of a musical narrative. Bruno Repp describes musical timing patterns as forms of movement: ‘they govern the variable rate at which the musical sound structure unfolds. Dynamic patterns are part of the sound structure itself. They are part of what is unfolding, whereas timing governs how this unfolding is taking place.’5 Gustav Mahler’s opening description of musical timing as being something that is ‘living and flowing’ rather than a metronomically-rigid template for performance is a sentiment that strikes a particular resonance with nineteenth- and early twentieth- century musical writings. Franz Liszt, for instance, urges that ‘one must not stamp music with a uniform balance, but speed it up or slow it down with spirit and according to the meaning that it possesses.’6 Rubato is arguably the most crucial ingredient – the “sine qua non” – in the interpretation of nineteenth-century music, which presents the performer with numerous structural issues, such as how to relate sections or shape individual phrases.7 John Rink discusses the ‘particular temporal problems’ involved in creating a necessary sense of cohesion, both within and between different levels in the music’s structural hierarchy: Vital for intelligible, effective performance, it means giving the music a sense of shape in time by devising a hierarchy of temporally defined musical gestures from the small to the large scale. While playing, the performer engages in a continual dialogue between the comprehensive architecture and the “here- and-now”, between some sort of goal-directed impulse at the uppermost hierarchical level (the piece “in a nutshell”) and subsidiary motions extending down to the beat or sub-beat level, with different parts of the hierarchy activated at different points within the performance.8 5 Repp, B.

    110991 bk Menuhin 8/03/2005 02:15pm Page 4 Producer’s Note ADD The Mendelssohn D minor concerto, recorded two days after Menuhin gave the world première public performance Great Violinists • Menuhin 8.110991 of the work in Carnegie Hall, was apparently only released in the United States. Fourteen months later, EMI re-recorded it in London, this time with Adrian Boult at the podium. The earlier version (which marked Menuhin’s first conducting credit on records) disappeared, and has not been available in any form since the 1950s. It has been transferred here from the best portions of three first edition RCA LPs. Menuhin’s recording of the composer’s more famous E minor concerto with Furtwängler conducting has been more readily available in the succeeding decades; yet the master tape is fraught with problems that can be heard MENDELSSOHN from its first (1952) LP release on RCA Victor through EMI’s CDs. What sounds like a tape tracking or bias problem during the original recording session causes the highs to go in and out during the tuttis. In addition, Violin Concerto in E minor occasional grittiness and electronic clicks can be heard on all editions. EMI waited two years to release it in Europe, perhaps in the hope that Menuhin and Furtwängler would re-record it with better sonic results. This transfer was Violin Concerto in D minor made from a French EMI LP pressing. While this was Menuhin’s second recording of the Mendelssohn E minor, the version of the Bruch concerto presented here was already his third attempt on disc.

  • A Russian Eschatology: Theological Reflections on the Music of Dmitri Shostakovich
    A Russian Eschatology: Theological Reflections on the Music of Dmitri Shostakovich Submitted by Anna Megan Davis to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Theology in December 2011 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. 2 3 Abstract Theological reflection on music commonly adopts a metaphysical approach, according to which the proportions of musical harmony are interpreted as ontologies of divine order, mirrored in the created world. Attempts to engage theologically with music’s expressivity have been largely rejected on the grounds of a distrust of sensuality, accusations that they endorse a ‘religion of aestheticism’ and concern that they prioritise human emotion at the expense of the divine. This thesis, however, argues that understanding music as expressive is both essential to a proper appreciation of the art form and of value to the theological task, and aims to defend and substantiate this claim in relation to the music of twentieth-century Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich. Analysing a selection of his works with reference to culture, iconography, interiority and comedy, it seeks both to address the theological criticisms of musical expressivism and to carve out a positive theological engagement with the subject, arguing that the distinctive contribution of Shostakovich’s music to theological endeavour lies in relation to a theology of hope, articulated through the possibilities of the creative act.

La mia finestra non si apre sull' apprezzamento per la musica "colta", per le parole "colte", o per il teatro "colto". Rimango incerto sul come quantificare i meriti di questa creazione, sia artisticamente che altro. Di certo posso dire che negli ultimi giorni, e negli ultimi anni, mentre guardo quello che succede nella mia terra natale, e in tutto il mondo che incontro e di cui divento consapevole, nelle tourné con Peter Brook e MarieHelene Estienne, sono sempre colpito dalle conversazioni universali sull'identità, il diritto alla vita, la soggettivita' della giustizia, l'emarginazione dell' "altro", e dalla resistenza della natura dell'amore, dell' odio, e della fede . Mi preoccupo a volte di non saper chiarire che questo spettacolo non e' indirizzato solo ad amanti della musica classica, o a storici appassionati.

  • After the Worlds. Poświatowska for the Stroh Violin (Accompanying Event)
    After the worlds. Poświatowska for the Stroh violin (accompanying event) venue: Lower Silesian Film Center, Piłsudskiego 64a date: 15 June2021, 19:00 duration: 60 min tickets: 25 zlotys, at the Lower Silesian Film Center cast: Emose Uhunmwangho – vocal, Beata Wołczyk – Stroh violin, Emilia Danilecka – Stroh cello, Joanna Trzaska – Stroh cello, Dariusz Wołczyk – Stroh viola, Piotr Hałaj – tuba, sousaphone, bells The audience of The Stage Songs Review will probably remember well the performance “The Fairy-Tale Stroh Violins”, which won the Toucan of the Off Audience and for which Emose Katarzyna Uhunmwangho received the Jury Off award at the 40th edition of the festival. Now Emose Uhunmwngho and Stroh violins return with a new, original project carried out in cooperation with the Lower Silesian Film Center. In “After the worlds. Poświatowska for the Stroh violin”, the somewhat forgotten poetry of Halina Poświatowska resounds in musical arrangements. The content of the poems is completely stripped of pathos. Poświatowska who lived thirty-two years spent almost twenty in hospitals. It was in one of the hospitals in Krakow where the local professor noticed the talent of the patient, and following the discovery, he brought Wisława Szymborska to her. It is a story about love and death, but most of all about the need to enjoy the life given to us. The wisdom and beauty of everyday experiences are emphasized by unusual instruments: the Stroh violin, tuba, sousaphone, and bells. The quintet is made up of graduates of music academies: Beata Wołczyk, Emilia Danilecka, Joanna Trzaska, Dariusz Wołczyk, and Piotr Hałaj. We invite you to a unique meeting with Poświatowska’s poetry, the phenomenal voice of Emose Uhunmwangho, and the unique sound of the Stroh violin.

  • Romanian Traditional Musical Instruments
    GRU-10-P-LP-57-DJ-TR ROMANIAN TRADITIONAL MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS Romania is a European country whose population consists mainly (approx. 90%) of ethnic Romanians, as well as a variety of minorities such as German, Hungarian and Roma (Gypsy) populations. This has resulted in a multicultural environment which includes active ethnic music scenes. Romania also has thriving scenes in the fields of pop music, hip hop, heavy metal and rock and roll. During the first decade of the 21st century some Europop groups, such as Morandi, Akcent, and Yarabi, achieved success abroad. Traditional Romanian folk music remains popular, and some folk musicians have come to national (and even international) fame. ROMANIAN TRADITIONAL MUSIC Folk music is the oldest form of Romanian musical creation, characterized by great vitality; it is the defining source of the cultured musical creation, both religious and lay. Conservation of Romanian folk music has been aided by a large and enduring audience, and by numerous performers who helped propagate and further develop the folk sound. (One of them, Gheorghe Zamfir, is famous throughout the world today, and helped popularize a traditional Romanian folk instrument, the panpipes.) The earliest music was played on various pipes with rhythmical accompaniment later added by a cobza. This style can be still found in Moldavian Carpathian regions of Vrancea and Bucovina and with the Hungarian Csango minority. The Greek historians have recorded that the Dacians played guitars, and priests perform songs with added guitars. The bagpipe was popular from medieval times, as it was in most European countries, but became rare in recent times before a 20th century revival.

  • Heckelphone / Bass Oboe Repertoire
    Heckelphone / Bass Oboe Repertoire by Peter Hurd; reorganized and amended by Holger Hoos, editor-in-chief since 2020 version 1.2 (21 March 2021) This collection is based on the catalogue of musical works requiring heckelphone or bass oboe instrumen- tation assembled by Peter Hurd beginning in 1998. For this new edition, the original version of the repertoire list has been edited for accuracy, completeness and consistency, and it has been extended with a number of newly discovered pieces. Some entries could not (yet) be rigorously verified for accuracy; these were included nonetheless, to provide leads for future investigation, but are marked clearly. Pieces were selected for inclusion based solely on the use of heckelphone, bass oboe or lupophone, without any attempt at assessing their artistic merit. Arrangements of pieces not originally intended for these instruments were included when there was clear evidence that they had found a significant audience. The authors gratefully acknowledge contributions by Michael Finkelman, Alain Girard, Thomas Hiniker, Robert Howe, Gunther Joppig, Georg Otto Klapproth, Mark Perchanok, Andrew Shreeves and Michael Sluman.

  • Furtwängler Broadcasts/Recordings
    Furtwängler Broadcasts & Broadcast Recordings 1927-1954 1st version: February 20, 2002 Latest revision: July 5, 2019 This list of Furtwängler broadcasts/broadcast recordings is based on various private and official lists in my possession. Most of the lists were given to me by Frau Elisabeth Furtwängler during visits in Clarens in the 1970s. I have not tried to verify stations missing from the lists. I have given RRG (Reichsrundfunk Gesellschaft) as source for many WWII broadcasts, which were transmitted from Berlin, Vienna, Bayreuth, or Prague. Many of the dates of these broadcasts stem from an Italian list (from Bologna), written in perfect German! Broadcasts of commercial recordings (78 rpms and LPs) are not included. In November/December 2003, I was asked by Angelo Scottini, Piacenza, Italy, to include his list of Italian broadcasts. January 1, 2004, René Trémine gave permission to include all broadcasts mentioned in his Furtwängler concert listing 1906-1954. April 21, 2008, Norbert Kleekamp forwarded information on the Meistersinger broadcasts from Bayreuth August 1943. February 1, 2010, I included the recorded broadcasts in my discography up to 1945. November 2012, René Trémine sent me a list of amendments, added on January 10, 2013. February 18, 2018, I added broadcasts from the Danish Radio (DR), from the BBC, and from the RRG. March 9, 2018, a few amendments by Stéphane Topakian were added. A few corrections were added on March 25, 2018. March 27, 2018 some broadcasts from the Swedish Radio (SR) were added. Broadcasts up to the end of 1947 from the Austrian database ANNO were added July 1, 2018.
