A. ELLiS PUBLISHED BY C. A. ELLIS, MANAGER The ideal of the Steinway Piano is a beautiful voice. The work of the Steinway family is to create a sensitive but permanent vehicle for its expression. "The Steinway realization means the eleva- tion and furtherance of the great art of music. Their field is the world and mankind is the beneficiary. Rarely have men had such in- spiration and more rarely have they risen to the heights or possessed such unobscured and prophetic vision of the intellectual needs."

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (Born at Salzburg, January 27, 1756; died at Vienna, December 5, 1791.) This symphony was composed by Mozart at Vienna in July-August, 1782. His father Leopold asked him to write music for some festival occasion at the house of Sigmund Haffner,* the rich merchant and burgomaster at Salzburg, who has been characterized as "an excellent and patriotic man, who deserved well of Salzburg by reason of his large bequests." The Haffners were interested in the young Mozart. After Mozart made Vienna his home, he received a letter from Haifner in Salzburg, with an enclosure, a reminder of Mozart's indebtedness to a certain merchant of Strassburg, J. G. Scherz. Mozart, in a letter written December 6, 1783, begged his father to make good for him to Haifner for a month. Having reminded him of the circumstances attending the loan, he said that the most disagreeable feature of the case was that Scherz apparently had a poor opinion of him. "And then his correspondence with Haffner in Salzburg!" The letter is curious reading. Mozart also wrote for this wedding a march in D major (K. 249). Wyzewa and G. de Saint-Foix in their "W. A. Mozart," 1756- - I 2 1.777 ( voi n -> PP- 3 7~3 °)> saY that a little concerto in G major for violin with small orchestra, composed in July, 1776, was interpolated in the Serenade, and appears there as the Andante (No. 2), Minuet in G minor with Trio (No. 3), and Rondo: Allegro (No. 4). In July, 1782, Mozart, writing to his father, told him how busy he was, hurried in composition, and yet he had been asked to compose another Serenade for a festive occasion in the Haffner family. The *In Jahn's "Mozart" (4 vols., 1856-59) the name is spelled "Hafner." Music Publishers Schixme^d JEib'caxy of J^CudicaL Gladdicd ¥>he fflCudical Qxiaxtexly 3 East 43 r(3 Street* NewYork father had urged him to write this, and lessen his obligation to Haffner. Mozart sent an Allegro movement, promised two Minuets, an Andante, and a Finale in a few days, and, if possible, a March: "If not, you must take it from the 'Haffner music' (which is not at all known"). The reference was to the March in D major. He finally sent the March. This composition was the symphony in D . major (K. 385), sometimes known as the "Haffner" Symphony. Mozart wrote the symphony in great haste. His opera "Die Knt- fuhrung aus dem Serail" had just been performed for the second time, and he was busy arranging pages of it for wind instruments, a task that gave him much trouble; he was composing a serenade in C minor (K. 388) ; and he was passionately in love with Constanze Weber, whom he married August 4. He wrote the symphony in less than a fort- night and sent a movement, when it was ready, to his father. At first the work was in the form of a serenade; a march was the introduc- tory movement, there were two minuets, and apparently at first flutes and clarinets were not employed. On July 20 Mozart wrote asking how it were possible for him to compose the symphony. On August 7 he wrote to his father: "I sent you yesterday a short march. I only hope that it will arrive in time and be to your taste. The first allegro must go in a fiery manner; the last as fast as possible." The symphony was performed at a concert given by Mozart in Vienna, March 22, 1783. When Mozart received the manuscript from his father he expressed himself as "surprised" with it. He cut out the march and one of the minuets and afterward added flutes and clarinets. The concert was a brilliant affair. The emperor was pres- ent and greatly pleased. It was his custom to send money in advance when he went to a concert. He sent Mozart twenty-five ducats. The receipts in all were about 1,600 florins. The programme was a long one, composed wholly of music by Mozart: Symphony in D major; aria, "Se il padre perdei," from "Idomeneo," sung by Mine.

  • Bach Christmas Oratorio BWV 248 (Novello Edition Ed
    PROGRAMME NOTES AND PREFACES Bach Christmas Oratorio BWV 248 (Novello edition ed. N. Jenkins) HISTORY AND ORIGINS OF THE WORK Although Bach's Christmas Oratorio (1734) has been as popular a work for choirs and choral societies to perform as his two Passions, it has striven against Handel's Messiah as the obvious work to choose for a Christmas performance. Its daunting length when performed uncut, and the need for a work with a less demanding orchestration (such as that found in Messiah) has probably meant that it has been chosen less often than it should have been. This may go some way to explain why there has been no new English edition since the original Novello Octavo edition, containing John Troutbeck's translation, of 1874. My researches in the British Library have turned up no other published translation apart from an incomplete version by Helen Johnston - also published in the year 1874. Helen Johnston (1813-87) was the first person to translate any of the major Bach choral works into English, producing her translation of the St Matthew Passion for Sir William Sterndale Bennett's 1862 edition. She does not appear to have turned her attention to the St John Passion, which was receiving frequent performances in England during the 1870s under the direction of Sir Joseph Barnby, since he used a translation made by a Minor Canon of Westminster Abbey - the Rev. John Troutbeck (1832-99). Troutbeck was an indefatigable translator, not only of all Bach's major choral works, but also of Oratorios by Beethoven, Brahms, Dvorak, Gounod, Liszt, Saint-Saens, Schumann and Weber.

  • Second Thoughts and Short Reviews: Autumn 2017-3
    SECOND THOUGHTS AND SHORT REVIEWS AUTUMN 2017/3 By Brian Wilson and Dan Morgan Reviews are by Brian Wilson except where signed [DM]. Autumn 2017/1 is here and Autumn 2017/2 here. As before, I must remind readers that preparing such a large review – especially large this time – carries the risk of incorrect catalogue numbers or purchase links, though I have tried to make the latter clearer than before. Please check before ordering. Some time ago I mentioned that trusty old Winamp, though it works with downloads in Windows 10, has not been updated for quite some time and that I had noticed occasional glitches. Recently I have been trying another free programme, MusicBee (https://getmusicbee.com/) and have found it to work well after a few initial problems. It does everything that Winamp does and adds the ability to display the artwork, if it’s included in the metadata – which isn’t always the case. An alternative would be MediaGo (http://mediago.sony.com/enu/download), actually designed to work with the high-res digital Sony Walkman, but a useful programme in itself and operating very much like MusicBee.

  • “What Language Shall I Borrow?” Singing in Translation
    “WHAT LANGUAGE SHALL I BORROW?” SINGING IN TRANSLATION Daniel A. Mahraun Daniel A. Mahraun Choir Director Lutheran Church of the Holy Trinity Kailua-Kona, Hawaiʻi [email protected] 8 CHORAL JOURNAL Volume 56 Number 10 e have all likely done it at one time or another: we have conducted Wor sung works in translation. Our reasons probably varied. Perhaps we saw no point in teaching the original language to that particular choir. Perhaps we made the choice for the sake of a particular audience. Perhaps our decision was based solely on expediency. Regardless, any conscious or unconscious reason we had likely fl ew in the face of what many of us have heard or been taught: that the performance of vocal music in translation is a form of blasphemy. The late Roger Doyle made a case for singing in translation in his 1980 Choral Journal article, “What? Sing It in English? What Will the Neighbors Think?” In it, he bases his thoughts on the principal question of how to involve, to the fullest extent, the musicians and the listeners in a performance. Doyle lists what he saw as the four usual arguments against singing in translation then proceeds to reason them away. Those arguments are: 1) The nuance of the composer’s language is integral to the fl ow of the music. 2) Translations are provided in the printed programs. 3) The audience can’t understand the English either. 4) Good English versions are very scarce.1 “WHAT LANGUAGE SHALL I BORROW?” Though not advocating the use of English at all times 1) Singing in our native language saves rehearsal time.

  • Sullivan-Journal Nr. 13 (Juli 2015)
    Sullivan-Journal Nr. 13 (Juli 2015) Diese Ausgabe des Sullivan-Journals steckt voller Entdeckungen. Wir konnten endlich Sul- livans Leipziger Tagebuch auswerten und unser Mitglied Paul Seeley fand einen überraschen- den Hinweis auf eine Originalkomposition für Flöte. Jetzt muss dieses Stück, das bisher in kei- nem Werkverzeichnis aufgetaucht ist, nur noch gefunden werden! Der zweite Teil von Till Gerrit Waidelichs Beitrag über Sullivan und Schubert nimmt Bezug auf Sullivans Beteiligung an der Wiederentdeckung der Musik Schuberts zu Rosamunde (der erste Teil findet sich im Sullivan-Journal Nr. 11). Darüber hinaus lohnt es sich, einen Blick zu werfen auf Sullivans Beziehung zu Beethoven. Geschichte – auch die Musikgeschichtsschreibung – ist eine zeitgebundene Konstruktion, keine abstrakte Wissenschaft (siehe hierzu auch den Beitrag zur Rezeptionsentwicklung in dem 2011 erschienenen Sullivan-Band der von Ulrich Tadday herausgegebenen Reihe „Musik- Konzepte“). Wie einige Stellungnahmen von deutschen Autoren über das England des 19. Jahr- hunderts zeigen, ist sie bestimmt von Erfahrungen, Vorurteilen und Neigungen. Die vielen neu- en Blickwinkel auf Arthur Sullivans Leben und Wirken, die wir in den vergangenen sechs Jah- ren im Sullivan-Journal und in der Buchreihe SullivanPerspektiven vorgestellt haben, lassen heutzutage nur den Rückschluss zu, dass es falsch ist, in Sullivan lediglich den Schöpfer des Mikado und der Piraten von Penzance zu sehen – wir befassen uns hier mit einem der vielsei- tigsten und bemerkenswertesten Musiker und Komponisten des 19. Jahrhunderts, bei dem es noch viel Neues zu entdecken gibt. Dies hatte man bereits vor über140 Jahren erkannt – in ei- nem Bericht über Sullivans Te deum laudamus hieß es am 1.

We are proud to have commissioned this new work scored for violin, viola, cello, double bass and piano. Ms. Marshall studied at the Eastman School of Music and Yale University and has been a fellow at the MacDowell Colony, the oldest artists colony in the United States. Her piece is inspired by the poetry of Miami Beach-based Cuban poet Carlos Pintado. His book Self-portrait in Blue won the 2006 International Prize for Poetry Sant Jordi in Girona, Spain. Both Ms. Marshall and Mr. Pintado will be attending. Mr. Pintado will read his poems and Ms. Marshall will speak about her composing process and inspiration. “Our mission is to bring together performers, composers and audiences,” commented SBCE founder and cellist Michael Andrews. “When I first met Pamela at a Chamber Music America conference in New York several years ago little did I dream that we would be commissioning and premiering her new piano quintet. And to find out that award-winning poet Carlos Pintado lives just two blocks from me in Miami Beach is a wonderful surprise.” The other major work on the program will be German romantic composer Hermann Goetz’s Piano Quintet in C minor, Op.
