    Against Expression?: Avant-Garde Aesthetics in Satie's" Parade"

    Against Expression?: Avant-garde Aesthetics in Satie’s Parade A thesis submitted to the Division of Graduate Studies and Research of the University of Cincinnati In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC In the division of Composition, Musicology, and Theory of the College-Conservatory of Music 2020 By Carissa Pitkin Cox 1705 Manchester Street Richland, WA 99352 [email protected] B.A. Whitman College, 2005 M.M. The Boston Conservatory, 2007 Committee Chair: Dr. Jonathan Kregor, Ph.D. Abstract The 1918 ballet, Parade, and its music by Erik Satie is a fascinating, and historically significant example of the avant-garde, yet it has not received full attention in the field of musicology. This thesis will provide a study of Parade and the avant-garde, and specifically discuss the ways in which the avant-garde creates a dialectic between the expressiveness of the artwork and the listener’s emotional response. Because it explores the traditional boundaries of art, the avant-garde often resides outside the normal vein of aesthetic theoretical inquiry. However, expression theories can be effectively used to elucidate the aesthetics at play in Parade as well as the implications for expressability present in this avant-garde work. The expression theory of Jenefer Robinson allows for the distinction between expression and evocation (emotions evoked in the listener), and between the composer’s aesthetical goal and the listener’s reaction to an artwork. This has an ideal application in avant-garde works, because it is here that these two categories manifest themselves as so grossly disparate.

Farnham and Burlington, VT: Ashgate, 2013. xviii + 280 pp. $119.95 U.S. (cl). ISBN-10: 1409409112. Review by Danijela Špirić-Beard, University of Nottingham. In her monograph Modernism on Stage: The Ballets Russes and the Parisian Avant-Garde, Juliet Bellow uses four relatively unexplored productions--Parade (1917), Cléopâtre (1918), Le Chant du Rossignol (1920) and Le Bal (1929)--to forge an alternative narrative about the Ballets Russes and to restore the company’s central position within the Parisian art world of the 1910s and 1920s. Bellow’s focus on designs by Pablo Picasso, Sonia Delaunay, Henri Matisse and Giorgio de Chirico highlights the complex relationship between Diaghilev’s troupe and the Parisian avant-garde, and spotlights the fascinating and challenging process of transferring two-dimensional artwork (paintings/sketches) to the three-dimensional space of the stage (stage designs/costumes). Modernism on Stage analyses these transformations, tracing forms and ideas as they migrated from painting to stage and back again, and then considers the impact such collaborative ventures had on the artists’ outputs as a whole. In doing so, Bellow prompts new readings of each artist’s oeuvre and of the Ballets Russes in the context of Parisian avant-garde experiments with cubism, simultanism, fauvism and surrealism. The book comprises five main chapters, with a short introduction and a conclusion. The first chapter contextualizes orientalism and the commercial nature of Diaghliev’s pre-war enterprise (Schéhérazade, the Firebird), offset by subsequent radical experiments in L'Après-midi d'un Faune and the Rite of Spring (especially Nijinsky’s choreography).

Abstract This monograph examines the post-exile, multi-version works of Sergei Rachmaninoff with a view to unravelling the sophisticated web of meanings and values attached to them. Compositional revision is an important and complex aspect of creating musical meaning. Considering revision offers an important perspective on the construction and circulation of meanings and discourses attending Rachmaninoff’s music. While Rachmaninoff achieved international recognition during the 1890s as a distinctively Russian musician, I argue that Rachmaninoff’s return to certain compositions through revision played a crucial role in the creation of a narrative and set of tropes representing “Russian diaspora” following the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution.

    Tchaikovsky CD 1 1 Orchestrion It wasn’t unusual, in the middle of the 19th century, to hear sounds like that coming from the drawing rooms of comfortable, middle-class families. The Orchestrion, one of the first and grandest of mass-produced mechanical music-makers, was one of the precursors of the 20th century gramophone. It brought music into homes where otherwise it might never have been heard, except through the stumbling fingers of children, enduring, or in some cases actually enjoying, their obligatory half-hour of practice time. In most families the Orchestrion was a source of pleasure. But in one Russian household, it seems to have been rather more. It afforded a small boy named Piotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky some of his earliest glimpses into a world, and a language, which was to become (in more senses then one), his lifeline. One evening his French governess, Fanny Dürbach, went into the nursery and found the tiny child sitting up in bed, crying. ‘What’s the matter?’ she asked – and his answer surprised her. ‘This music’ he wailed, ‘this music!’ She listened. The house was quiet. ‘No. It’s here,’ cried the boy – he pointed to his head. ‘It’s here, and I can’t make it go away. It won’t leave me.’ And of course it never did. ‘His sensitivity knew no bounds and so one had to deal with him very carefully. Every little trifle could upset or wound him. He was a child of glass. As for reproofs and admonitions (with him there could be no question of punishments), what would have been water off a duck’s back to other children affected him deeply, and if the degree of severity was increased only the slightest, it would upset him alarmingly.’ Despite his outwardly happy appearance, peace of mind is something Tchaikovsky rarely knew, from childhood to his dying day.

" It's a Steinway." Nothing more need be said. Everybody knows you have chosen wisely; you have given to your home the very best that money can buy. You will never even think of changing this piano for any other. As the years go by the words "It's a Steinway" will mean more and more to you, and thousands of times, as you continue to enjoy through life the com- panionship of that noble instrument, absolutely without a peer, you will say to yourself: "How glad I am I paid the few extr? dollars and got a Steinway."
