Paul Schoenfield's' Refractory'method of Composition: a Study Of Paul Schoenfield's 'Refractory' Method of Composition: A Study of Refractions and Sha’atnez A document submitted to the Graduate School of The University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in the Performance Studies Division of the College-Conservatory of Music by DoYeon Kim B.M., College-Conservatory of Music of The University of Cincinnati, 2011 M.M., Eastman School of Music of The University of Rochester, 2013 Committee Chair: Professor Yehuda Hanani Abstract Paul Schoenfield (b.1947) is a contemporary American composer whose works draw on jazz, folk music, klezmer, and a deep knowledge of classical tradition. This document examines Schoenfield’s characteristic techniques of recasting and redirecting preexisting musical materials through diverse musical styles, genres, and influences as a coherent compositional method. I call this method ‘refraction’, taking the term from the first of the pieces I analyze here: Refractions, a trio for Clarinet, Cello and Piano written in 2006, which centers on melodies from Mozart’s Le nozze di Figaro (The Marriage of Figaro). I will also trace the ‘refraction’ method through Sha’atnez, a trio for Violin, Cello and Piano (2013), which is based on two well-known melodies: “Pria ch’io l’impegno” from Joseph Weigl’s opera L’amor marinaro, ossia il corsaro (also known as the “Weigl tune,” best known for its appearance in the third movement of Beethoven’s Trio for Piano, Clarinet, and Cello in B-flat Major, Op.11 (‘Gassenhauer’)); and the Russian-Ukrainian folk song “Dark Eyes (Очи чёрные).” By tracing the ‘refraction’ method as it is used to generate these two works, this study offers a unified approach to understanding Schoenfield’s compositional process; in doing so, the study both makes his music more accessible for scholarly examination and introduces enjoyable new works to the chamber music repertoire. ii Copyright © 2019 by DoYeon Kim. All rights reserved. iii Acknowledgements Completing this work would not have been possible without the support, generosity, and guidance of my mentors, friends, and family. I would like to express my deep gratitude to Professor Yehuda Hanani, my lecture recital and dissertation advisor and an inspirational teacher. He directed this dissertation with unfailing patience and generosity. I also cannot imagine myself becoming an artistic and mature musician without him. Dr. Won-Bin Yim and Dr. Jonathan Kregor, both committee members of my dissertation, offered their thoughtful advice, guidance, and warm support as well. I’m also appreciative of composer Dr. Paul Schoenfield, who has been my primary resource for this project. Many thanks to Rebekka Gold, who helped proofread my paper. I would also like to express my thanks to friends and pastors, namely Pastor Ahn, who has been praying for me everyday. Thank you to Professor Timothy Caldwell, my Dalcroze Eurythmics teacher and life mentor, and Professor Alan Harris, who gave me the strength to continue pursuing my master’s degree. I would not be able to finish this final part of my education without my family’s unconditional love, prayers, and sacrifice. I’m so thankful to my parents, Shin Won Kim and EunSuk Mun, and I’m incredibly grateful to my grandfather, who passed away last year, but gave me endless encouragement and support. Lastly but not least, I give all my thanks to God who guided me throughout this journey in his plans. iv Copyright Permissions Paul Schoenfield, Refractions (U.S.A: Unpublished, 2006).

  • Scuola Pianistica Milanese»
    Guido Salvetti Forse non ci fu una «scuola pianistica milanese» Una valutazione del ruolo del pianoforte nella vita musicale milanese del primo Ottocen- to deve dar ragione di aspetti non poco contraddittori. Da un lato appare chiaro il ruolo secondario del pianoforte nelle istituzioni pubbliche di istruzione e di concerto. Dall’al- tro appare imponente l’attività che potremmo dire privata, quale ci viene testimoniata dai ‹nobili dilettanti› e dai cataloghi editoriali. Osserviamo innanzi tutto alcuni dati recentemente raccolti sulle pubbliche accade- mie del Regio Conservatorio, a partire dalla sua fondazione nel 1808.1 Pur tenendo conto delle inevitabili lacune di uno spoglio d’archivio, appaiono clamorose le assenze di esi- bizioni pianistiche per interi anni, sommerse da un enorme numero di brani operistici e di ariette. Nei primi dieci anni di vita dell’istituzione, l’insegnante Benedetto Negri propone alle autorità e al pubblico cittadino soltanto questi due interventi pianistici: 8 ottobre 18122 Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Variazioni per clavicembalo Giovanni Battista Rabitti3 1 ottobre 18154 Friedrich Heinrich Himmel Sonata per pianoforte5 [Luigi] Rabitti «minore» con accompagnamento di corni da caccia: Giacomo Belloli e Giuseppe Schiroli 1 Milano e il suo Conservatorio, a c. di Guido Salvetti, Milano 2003; cd-rom allegato, Appendice iv: Cronologia dei saggi degli allievi dal 1809 al 1896. Questa è l’avvertenza iniziale: «Per la compilazione della cronologia sono stati consultati i programmi di sala e, in alternativa, le recensioni apparse sulla Gazzetta musicale di Milano e sulla Perseveranza. In generale, per i titoli si è mantenuta la grafia come appare nel documento originale; dove è stato possibile si è provveduto, invece, a completare i nomi degliallieviedegliautori».

A consideration of over 1500 opera reviews from close to thirty periodicals, however, paints a more complex picture. In addition to a fascination with the supernatural, composers were drawn to a variety of libretti, including Biblical and Classical topics, and considered the application of recitative and other conventions most historians have overlooked because of their un-German heritage.
