BOSTON * CHESTNUT HILL [1232] . ARCHITECTURES, Concerto for Orchestra By Giorgio Federico Ghedini Born in Cuneo, Italy, July 11, 1892 Ghedini completed his Architetture, Concerto per Orchestra, on January 4, 1940 (It was published in the following year.) The first performance was at Rome, in 1940, by the Orchestra dell'Accademia Nazionale di S. Cecilia, directed by Fernando Previtali. The Concerto is scored for two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, four horns, three trumpets, three trombones and tuba, timpani, bass drum and strings. There is an obbligato part for the piano. The score is dedicated to Vincenzo Tommasini. Tims orchestral concerto is in seven short sections which are played without break. Throughout, the strings, woodwinds and brass, and sometimes the piano, are treated as distinct units. The first section, allegro moderato e marcato, is a vigorous movement played by the string orchestra with piano passages interspersed. It leads into the second section in the same tempo where the woodwinds are brought in over a string pattern. The third part is for the strings alone, brilliantly treated. The fourth, by contrast, consists of sustained chords in which the brass choir is matched with the muted strings. The fifth, molto lento espressivo, consists of a melody for violin solo, Ut we have now ready the freshest . the newest . the most light- hearted collection in town! f¥uMVLttc6> ^*&&. Ctcenit; ^tleivburv [ 1233] . with soft sustaining chords from the muted strings and piano. A shimmering figure for the piano alone leads to the sixth section, allegro vivo, in which the two choirs are treated alternately or com- bined. The finale, allegro molto moderato, using all the forces (except the piano) broadens to a close in full sonority. Ghedini studied at the Conservatory Giuseppe Verdi in Turin and at the Conservatory in Bologna from which he graduated in 1911. He is not only a composer, but a versatile performer, playing the piano, the organ and the cello. He teaches composition at the con- servatories of Turin, Parma, and Milan, and is the Director of the latter He has composed the one-act opera Ulntrusa, Maria d'Allesandria. Re Hassan and since the (*937) » (1939) , war Le Bacchanti (1948) and Billy Budd (1949) , based on the novel of Herman Melville. He has also composed music in the absolute forms, including a Marinaresca e Baccanale (1933) Ghedini's Pezzo Concertante was introduced by Victor de Sabata as guest conductor at the Berkshire Festival, August 5th of the season past.

  • Brněnské Začátky Rudolfa Firkušného a Jeho Studia U Leoše Janáčka
    MUSICOLOGICA BRUNENSIA 48, 2013, 1 DOI: 10.5817/MB2013-1-14 VERONIKA VEJVODOVÁ BRNĚNSKÉ ZAČÁTKY RUDOLFA FIRKUŠNÉHO A JEHO STUDIA U LEOŠE JANÁČKA Rudolf Firkušný byl jedním z nejslavnějších pianistů své generace. Ve sklad- bě byl žákem Leoše Janáčka, Viléma Petrželky a Josefa Suka. Byl důvěrným přítelem Bohuslava Martinů, Vítězslavy Kaprálové a dalších českých a světo- vých skladatelů, jejichž díla mnohdy uváděl ve světových premiérách (z českých jmenujme P. Bořkovce, V. Kaprála, J. Kvapila, O. Chlubnu, P. Janečka, V. Kap- rálovou, A. Hábu, J. Ježka; ze zahraničních G. C. Menottiho, S. Barbera, R. Cu- mmingse, P. Glasse, C. Guaneriho, F. Mignoneho, E. Solarese a další). Klavírní lekce navštěvoval nejprve u Ludmily Tučkové, posléze byl žákem v klavírní třídě Růženy Kurzové, která Firkušného učila podle metody svého manžela Viléma Kurze. Kurz se stal posledním českým pedagogem Rudolfa Firkušného. Za za- hraničními učiteli se vydal do Paříže (Alfred Cortot), Berlína a Itálie (Arthur Schnabel). Jako pianista podnikal světová turné: projezdil Evropu, Severní a Již- ní Ameriku. Vystupoval se světoznámými orchestry a dirigenty počínaje Kuse- vickým, Walterem, Klempererem, Szellem, Talichem, Mitropoulosem, konče Bernsteinem, Mutim, Mehtou, Bělohlávkem, Neumannem a Abbadem. Během své kariéry prosazoval české autory, především Dvořáka a jeho téměř neznámý klavírní koncert a díla Bohuslava Martinů, z nichž některá byla psána přímo pro Firkušného. Prameny ke studiu brněnských začátků Rudolfa Firkušného se nachází převáž- ně v Oddělení dějin hudby Moravského zemského muzea (nebo jen ODH MZM) v pozůstalosti, která dosud čeká na své zpracování. Pozůstalost obsahuje Fir- kušného osobní dokumenty, školní vysvědčení, studentské průkazy z varhanické školy a konzervatoře, programy a plakáty jeho koncertů, výstřižky, fotografie, rodinnou a částečně profesní korespondenci.

  • Johann Peter Vogel: Pfitzners Verhältnis Zu Juden Und Judentum
    Mitteilungen der Hans Pfitzner-Gesellschaft 70 (2009) 8-29 [revidierte Fassung 2011] www.pfitzner-gesellschaft.de Johann Peter Vogel PFITZNERS VERHÄLTNIS ZU JUDEN UND JUDENTUM 1. Vorbemerkungen. „Ich habe Dr. Pfitzner zur Zeit der Aufführung der ‚Rose vom Liebes- garten‘ in Wien im Hause Gustav Mahlers kennen gelernt. Es war mir immer bekannt, dass er Deutschnationaler im Sinne Richard Wagners, also mit einer kleinen antisemitischen Truebung war. Ich habe ihn in all diesen Jahren oefters gesprochen. Trotz aller uns trennenden Unter- schiede, die kuenstlerischen inbegriffen, habe ich nie das Gefuehl von Agressivitaet gehabt. Kein Wunder, dass nach dem Abwandern so vieler Musikalischer Kraefte Pfitzner unter den wenigen, die verblieben, der erstklassige war und als solcher die Anerkennung fand, die ihm frueher zu Unrecht nicht immer zum Teil geworden war. Wenn das nazistische System fuer ihn von Vorteil war, so bin ich ueberzeugt, dass er sich nie- mals dafuer gebeugt, niemals eine Konzession gemacht haette, Grausam- keiten aber sicherlich verurteilte“.1 Das schrieb Arnold Schönberg am 10.9.1947 in Los Angeles als Eidesstattliche Erklärung für das Spruch- kammerverfahren gegen Hans Pfitzner, das denn auch mit der Feststel- lung endete, Pfitzner sei „vom Gesetz nicht betroffen“. Die Erklärung Schönbergs wird gern als Gefälligkeitsschreiben gewertet, denn sie passt nicht zu dem Persönlichkeitsbild, das eine moralisierende Generation von Pfitzner als einem ‚aggressiven‘, ja ‚mörderischen Anti- semiten‘ entwirft. Warum aber Schönberg für Pfitzner, der 1926 die von Schönberg vertretene atonale Musik heftig angegriffen hat, ein so dick aufgetragenes Gefälligkeitsschreiben formuliert haben soll, wird nicht er- klärt. Der Stich gegen Pfitzner liegt in der Bemerkung, dass der unter Überarbeitete und erweiterte Fassung eines am 2.

INFORMATION TO USERS This manuscript has been reproduced from the microfilm master. UMI films the text directly from the original or copy submitted. Thus, some thesis and dissertation copies are in typewriter face, while others may be from any type of computer printer. The quality of this reproduction is dependent upon the quality of the copy submitted. Broken or indistinct print, colored or poor quality illustrations and photographs, print bleedthrough, substandard margins, and improper alignment can adversely affect reproduction. In the unlikely event that the author did not send UMI a complete manuscript and there are missing pages, these will be noted. Also, if unauthorized copyright material had to be removed, a note will indicate the deletion. Oversize materials (e.g., maps, drawings, charts) are reproduced by sectioning the original, beginning at the upper left-hand comer and continuing from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps.
