    HINDEMITH VAN DER ROOST Clarinet Concertos Eddy Vanoosthuyse, Clarinet Central Aichi Symphony Orchestra Sergio Rosales, Conductor 1 Paul Hindemith (1895−1963): Clarinet Concerto Born in Frankfurt in 1895, the son of a house-painter, Paul Hindemith studied the violin privately with teachers from the Hoch Conservatory before being admitted to that institution with a free place at the age of thirteen. By 1915 he was playing second violin in his teacher Adolf Rebner’s quartet and had a place in the opera orchestra, of which he became leader in the same year. His father was killed in the war and Hindemith himself spent some time from 1917 as a member of a regimental band, returning after the war to the Rebner Quartet and the Frankfurt Opera Orchestra. At the same time he was making his name as a composer of particular originality, striving to bring about a revolution in concert-going with his concept of Gebrauchsmusik (functional or utility music), and devoting much of his energy to the promotion of new music, in particular at the Donaueschingen Festival. Having changed from violin to viola, he formed the Amar-Hindemith Quartet in 1921, an ensemble that won considerable distinction for its performances of new music. In 1927 Hindemith was appointed professor of composition at the Berlin Musikhochschule, two years later disbanding the quartet – to which he could no longer give time – and instead performing in a string trio with Josef Wolfsthal, (replaced on his death by Szymon Goldberg) and the cellist Emanuel Feuermann. He was also enjoying a career as a viola soloist.

Rich Associate Professor of Art History Craig Zabel Head of the Department of Art History Michael Bernhard Associate Professor of Political Science *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ii ABSTRACT From Activism to Kinetism: Modernist Spaces in Hungarian Art, 1918-1930. Budapest – Vienna – Berlin investigates modernist art created in Central Europe of that period, as it responded to the shock effects of modernity. In this endeavor it takes artists directly or indirectly associated with the MA (“Today,” 1916-1925) Hungarian artistic and literary circle and periodical as paradigmatic of this response. From the loose association of artists and literary men, connected more by their ideas than by a distinct style, I single out works by Lajos Kassák – writer, poet, artist, editor, and the main mover and guiding star of MA , – the painter Sándor Bortnyik, the polymath László Moholy- Nagy, and the designer Marcel Breuer. This exclusive selection is based on a particular agenda. First, it considers how the failure of a revolutionary reorganization of society during the Hungarian Soviet Republic (April 23 – August 1, 1919) at the end of World War I prompted the Hungarian Activists to reassess their lofty political ideals in exile and make compromises if they wanted to remain in the vanguard of modernity.

    Beal_Text 12/12/05 5:50 PM Page 8 one The American Occupation and Agents of Reeducation 1945-1950 henry cowell and the office of war information Between the end of World War I and the advent of the Third Reich, many American composers—George Antheil, Marc Blitzstein, Ruth Crawford, Conlon Nancarrow, Roger Sessions, Adolph Weiss, and others (most notably, Aaron Copland, Virgil Thomson, and Roy Harris, who studied with Nadia Boulanger in France)—contributed to American music’s pres- ence on the European continent. As one of the most adventurous com- posers of his generation, Henry Cowell (1897–1965) toured Europe several times before 1933. Traveling to the continent in early June 1923, Cowell played some of his own works in a concert on the ship, and visiting Germany that fall he performed his new piano works in Berlin, Leipzig, and Munich. His compositions, which pioneered the use of chromatic forearm and fist clusters and inside-the-piano (“string piano”) techniques, were “extremely well received and reviewed in Berlin,” a city that, according to the com- poser, “had heard a little more modern music than Leipzig,” where a hos- tile audience started a fistfight on stage.1 A Leipzig critic gave his review a futuristic slant, comparing Cowell’s music to the noisy grind of modern cities; another simply called it noise. Reporting on Cowell’s Berlin concert, Hugo Leichtentritt considered him “the only American representative of musical modernism.” Many writers praised Cowell’s keyboard talents while questioning the music’s quality.2 Such reviews established the tone 8 Beal_Text 12/12/05 5:50 PM Page 9 for the German reception of unconventional American music—usually performed by the composers themselves—that challenged definitions of western art music as well as stylistic conventions and aesthetic boundaries of taste and technique.

    MARIA DE ALVEAR COMPOSER The German-Spanish composer Maria de Alvear was officially honoured with the Spanish National Award for Music on June 1, 2016. King Felipe VI and Queen Leticia of Spain presented Maria de Alvear with the prize in Palencia Cathedral. Laudation: The jury commended Maria de Alvear for her prolific output and the international appeal of her works, for her pioneering role in the conception of musical works as complete artistic syntheses, for her interdisciplinary approach with its constant openness to partners from other artistic spheres, for her extra- ordinary ability to channel musical influences in a transgressive manner and for her strong commitment to younger composers. Short biography: Maria de Alvear was born in Madrid, and has been living and working in Cologne for more than 35 years. She was awarded the Bernd Alois Zimmermann Prize of the City of Cologne early on in her career, and studied New Music Theatre under Mauricio Kagel. Since 1998, she has collaborated regularly with video artists, both with her sister Ana de Alvear and the British artist Isaac Julien. In the same year, she founded the music publishing house WORLD EDITION. Since 2003, she has been publishing the journal „KUNST- MUSIK - Writings on art as music“. Her works, which are mostly interdiscipli- nary and make use of a variety of media, are performed worldwide by many well-known interpreters, such as Ensemble Modern, the Basel Sinfonietta, En- semble Musikfabrik and the Frankfurt Radio Symphony (hr-Sinfonieorchester). She works together with numerous soloists, orchestras and ensembles across the world. She has given many concerts in Europe, the USA and Canada at a number of prestigious venues, including the Glenn Gould Concert Hall, Toronto, the Lin- coln Center, New York, the Donaueschingen Festival, the International Summer Course for New Music in Darmstadt, the Hellerau Festival Theatre, the Univer- sity of Waterloo, Ontario, and the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, Madrid.

  • Jan Vogler Cello
    Jan Vogler Cello “Vogler’s intense and febrile sound is restrained by classical discipline and enriched by a searching musical intelligence.” New Yorker Collaborator The career of award-winning cellist Jan Vogler – “one of the great cellists of his generation” (WAZ) – is marked by a balance between a strong classical foundation and a drive to push creative and sonic boundaries. After joining the Staatskapelle Dresden as principal cello at age 20, the youngest player in the history of the orchestra to hold that position, he honed his skills with the ensemble for more than a decade before leaving to take up a solo career. Vogler has since performed with renowned conductors and internationally acclaimed orchestras around the world, with music ranging from staples of the repertoire to new commissions. Driven by the collaborative process between musician and composer, he has premiered works by Grammy- nominated Armenian composer Tigran Mansurian, with the WDR Sinfonieorchester led by Semyon Bychkov, and Dresden composer Udo Zimmermann, with the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra and Kristjan Järvi. Along with his wife, violinist Mira Wang, he has also given the world premieres of two double concertos: in 2010 they premiered Pulitzer Prize and MacArthur Fellowship winner John Harbison’s Double Concerto with the Boston Symphony under the baton of Carlos Kalmar, and last season gave the premiere of Grawemeyer Award-winner Wolfgang Rihm’s Duo Concerto with the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra. Biography | 01 Performer A prolific recording artist who records exclusively for the SONY Classical label, Vogler released the multi- faceted Tchaikovsky in 2016, a disc that includes not only the Variations on a Rococo Theme, with the Frankfurt Radio Symphony led by Andrés Orozco-Estrada, but also the “Souvenir de Florence” String Sextet and Vogler’s arrangement for cello and orchestra of Tchaikovsky’s Sérénade Mélancolique.
