  • Copyright Yvonne Chen 2019
    Copyright Yvonne Chen 2019 Yvonne Chen: Lutosławski’s Piano Concerto ii ABSTRACT Lutosławski’s Piano Concerto by Yvonne Chen This document is a comprehensive study of Witold Lutoslawski’s Piano Concerto (1987-88), a masterpiece of the post-modern era. A biographical look into Lutoslawski’s fifty year gestation with the ideas for the music shows the inspirations, genesis, and processes of materials used in the piece, which straddles tradition and modernity in refreshing ways. An analysis of the work clarifies the many points of inspiration – from the pianism of Chopin to the woodwind timbres of Stravinsky, and his use of ad libitum sections to support his pragmatic approach to notation or his development of “chain form.” Following Lutoslawski’s ideas about music perception, this document includes performance observations from recordings including those by the work’s dedicatee and the composer himself. Finally, I provide a practical guide for pianists to discern and approach the technical and musical difficulties of the piece in Part Four. Yvonne Chen: Lutosławski’s Piano Concerto iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Many thanks to Yuri McCoy, friend, colleague, collaborator, organist-arranger extraordinaire, and birthday fellow, who was the first to introduce me to this piece. Without his enthusiasm for this piece and his persistence, I might have never come across it, let alone learn it. It is to him I have to thank for having the patience for spirited conversations while we figured out the piece note-by-note together in many rehearsals, and I want to thank him for taking it on the road with me to share it with people in Houston, Washington, DC, and Charleston thus far.

  • In Search of Harmony: the Works by Andrzej Panufnik
    MUSIC HistorY IN SEARCH OF HARMONY: THE WORKS BY ANDRZEJ PANUFNIK O.V. Sobakina Annotation. Andrzej Panufnik belongs to those composers, who were able to create their own musical language and technique of composing. The life way of prominent composer in postwar Poland and well-known conductor in Europe was dramatic: then he emigrated in England in 1954, his music turned out to be performed in the countries of the Eastern Europe. That’s why in Russia during decennials till now he didn’t share the fame, which the other Polish composers received. After some break in composing he realized in his works ideas, which were the most exiting for him and revealing the interaction between musical mentality, geometric schemes and nature’s phenomena. The features of Panufnik’s works consist in consequent development of traditions of the European music; using such traditional genres as symphony, concerto, overture, he interpreted them anew and created the new forms of musical structures. Differing in their individual construction of the forms, Panufnik’s symphonies are penetrated through really symphonic dramaturgy that emphasizes their attribution to classical symphonic traditions. In spite of pure originality and bold- ness of experiments, the works by Panufnik never lose the relationship with the Polish traditions and culture, which are revealed in the subjects of his music and also in the accordance of abstract perfection with the richness of emotional content. All this give us evidences of rare composer» creative talent and explains the incontestable interest to his music. In the Russian musicology the works by Panufnik had no analyzed with the exception of some articles of the author.

    The Elgar Society JOURNAL JULY 1999 Vol.11 No.2 ELGAR’S TE DEUM & BENEDICTUS John Winter [Dr Winter is Senior Lecturer at Trinity College of Music, London. He is a general freelance musician, and holds a PhD from the University of East Anglia on contemporary church music.] There is arguably no better way to understand a piece of music than to rehearse it thoroughly before performing it. When this rehearsal involves work with an amateur choir the learning process is even greater. This has recently been my experience with Elgar’s Te Deum and Benedictus, and Give unto the Lord, working with a non-auditioned, all-ability choir, teaching virtually every note and explaining every subtlety of rubato. My appreciation of these works’ structure is all the greater for this preparation. Elgar’s liturgical music rarely gets a good press. There is barely a reference, and that a derogatory one, in New Grove. At best it gets mentioned in passing; at worst it is derided under the label of Victorian triumphalism. Worst of all, apart from Ave verum corpus, it is rarely performed. The Te Deum and Benedictus in F, Op 34, dates from 1897, and thus comes not only at the climax of Elgar’s ‘formative’ period, but also at the height of his ‘imperialist’ style. Op 32 was the Imperial March, his first major commission for a London audience, to celebrate Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee. Op 33 was The Banner of St George, and Op 35, Caractacus. John Allison’s book, Edward Elgar : Sacred Music,1 is exceptional in giving due consideration to the lesser-known works and incomplete fragments, along with valuable background to this particular work.
