  • Hollywood Quartet Flourished Briefly During the Early Years of the Long-Playing Record
    Hollywood Quartet flourished briefly during the early years of the long-playing record. Its leader, Felix Slatkin (father of the conductor, Leonard Slatkin) was a pupil o f Zimbalist and Remer, and in 1937 became leader of the 20th Century Fox Orchestra. All the members of the Quartet were principals in various Hollywood film studio orchestras, and the ensemble did not attract attention outside the West Coast of America until the advent of LP. On its first appearance in 1952, the authors of The Record Guide, Edward Sackville-\'{/est and Desmond Shawe-Taylor, hailed the Schubert String Quintet (with Kurt Reher as second cello) as 11 one of the very best in the di scography of chamber music'', no small claim but one that does not seem to me overstated. I have periodically played this version over the years and with unfailing satisfaction for apart from their tec hnical finish and perfect ensemble, they seem to penetrate further below the surface than do most of their rival s. I have also long admired their account with Victor Aller of the Brahms F minor Quintet, which it so happens that l played to a visitor quite recently. It is a powerful and thoughtful performance, and holds its own against such distinguished rivals as Serkin with the Busch Quartet from the 1930s, and the 1969 Eschenbach/ Amadeus. The Dvorak originally appeared in harness with rhe Third Quarret of Dohn:inyi, and my first reaction was to regret that EMI had not left thi s coupling undisturbed - until, that is, I heard the Smetana.

  • Conservatory of Music Piano Examinations, 1887-2015: Their Impact and Influence
    A HISTORY OF THE ROYAL (TORONTO) CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC PIANO EXAMINATIONS, 1887-2015: THEIR IMPACT AND INFLUENCE TATIANA VOITOVITCH-CAMILLERI A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN MUSIC YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO November 2019 © Tatiana Voitovitch-Camilleri, 2019 ii ABSTRACT Since its inception in 1887, the Royal Conservatory of Music has maintained its position as one of the largest and oldest community-based music schools and education centres in North America, with an integrated examination body and a comprehensive graded curriculum, influencing and shaping the Canadian musical landscape. For the past 130 years, the Conservatory has presented a wide-ranging art music repertoire for studying piano and offered a comprehensive system for assessing students’ progress through its Examinations, recently retitled as The Certificate Program. The Conservatory’s internal examinations began in 1887, with the external examinations following in 1898. The latter preserved the format of the former and expanded through increasing the number of the examination centres across Canada for both financial and educational reasons. Despite varying opinions of professionals and amateurs on the efficacy and value of the piano examinations in particular from the beginning, this dissertation, using historical sources and interviews, argues that over the years the structure and content of the piano examinations, while innately conservative on the whole, have kept up with a changing demographic of students across the country, and either countered or taken on the many criticisms that surrounded them over the years despite geographical and financial challenges, and indeed competition from other institutions.

  • THE BEAST with FIVE FINGERS: the UNSEEN MAN in HOLLYWOOD a Memoir Judith Aller
    44 CHICAGOQUARTERLYREVIEW THE BEAST WITH FIVE FINGERS: THE UNSEEN MAN IN HOLLYWOOD a memoir Judith Aller ago, Victor Aller was sure he could pull it off. “You only S get one chance,” he reminded himself. The piano tuner, Howard Jackson, put his tools away and sat down nearby, his eyes – and those of director Robert Florey and the rest of his crew – on Aller. Aller moved center-stage to the piano. Standing over the keyboard, head down, left hand extended, he put on an earphone, nodded at the crew and crawled beneath the piano. He pumped the pedal, checking for noise that could spoil the take. Special effect man William McGann cloaked Aller in black velvet so only his extended hand could be seen. Then: “Vic, are you ready?” Contorting his body and arm—left hand on the keyboard, right hand on the pedal— Aller answered: “Yeah, sure.” He waited a beat for the sound of the click-track: one, two, three as the camera rolled. His hand and wrist moved together with Chaconne—his hand a thing of grotesque beauty—his well- The scene above occurred during the shooting of The Beast With Five Fingers in which Victor Aller had the starring role. Though he was unseen, buried in a cloak of a sort, as the disembodied hand of the title, he played with remarkable ease underneath the piano. The scene of his “severed” hand playing the Bach Chaconne was a virtuoso stunt that was never done before or since. (There THE BEAST WITH FIVE FINGERS 45 was a similar movie by Oliver Stone called The Hand in 1981, but Stone had the advantage of digital technology to animate his murderous beast, which belonged not to a musician but a cartoonist.) Someone watching The Beast With Five Fingers today will surely wonder how it was done, in the pre-digital era and accomplished with serious purpose by an artist hidden from sight on camera, beneath a grand piano.
