A special thank-you is extended to Marguerite Miller, a forward- looking pedagogue always ready for the next adventure. 1 am grateful she took the time to engage in this project and look back.

  • May 10, 2019 Davis Hill Graduate Recital
    Eastern Washington University Music Department Presents A Graduate Lecture Recital Davis Hill, piano Fun and Finney Games for the Intermediate Piano Student Friday, May 10, 2019 5:00pm Eastern Washington University Music Recital Hall Student from the Studio of Dr. Jody Graves This recital is presented as partial fulfillment of the Master of Arts Degree in Music-Piano Brief Biography of Ross Lee Finney: Ross Lee Finney was a prolific voice in American music for over fifty years. In her book, Ross Lee Finney: A Bio-Bibliography, Hitchens puts Finney's catalogue at 100 over completed works, including four symphonies; concerti for piano, saxophone, and violin; electronic works for tape (musique concrète); many chamber, choral, and solo piano works; and three volumes of pedagogical piano music dedicated to contemporary notation and techniques, the second of which, 32 Piano Games, is the object of this study. Ross Lee Finney lived from 1906 to 1997 and was born in Wells, Minnesota. His early training was at Carleton College and the University of Minnesota, where he studied with Donald Ferguson. Principal teachers later in life include Nadia Boulanger in France, Alban Berg in Austria, Edward Burlinghame-Hill at Harvard University, and Roger Sessions. Brief Description of 32 Piano Games: The current study is an in-depth analysis of composer Ross Lee Finney's 1969 work, 32 Piano Games. 32 Piano Games comprises thirty-two short pieces intended for beginning and intermediate piano students. The movements are roughly ordered by progressive difficulty and complexity, slowly adding new musical elements and redefining old ones introduced in previous movements.

    MIKROKOSMOS AND 32 PIANO GAMES: INTRODUCING CONTEMPORARY MUSICAL LANGUAGE AND DEVELOPING PIANO TECHNIQUE FOR THE BEGINNING STUDENT Hyun-Joo Song, B.M., M.M. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2011 APPROVED: Pamela Mia Paul, Major Professor Elvia Puccinelli, Committe Member Gustavo Romero, Committe Member Jesse Eschbach, Chair of Division of Keyboard Studies Lynn Eustis, Director of Graduate Studies in the College of Music James Scott, Dean of the College of Music James D. Meernik, Acting Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Song, Hyun-Joo. Mikrokosmos and 32 Piano Games: Introducing Contemporary Musical Language and Developing Piano Technique for the Beginning Student. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), August 2011, 83 pp., 7 tables, 26 musical examples, bibliography, 50 titles. As new musical styles have emerged in the twentieth century with characteristic sounds, chords, forms, meters, and intervals, teachers need to broaden and re-define the way they introduce musical concepts to beginning piano students. The purpose of this study is to offer different instructional possibilities aside from conventional methods of teaching beginning pianists. This is accomplished through a comparison of the two different approaches of the Hungarian composer Béla Bartók and the American composer Ross Lee Finney. Bartók’s Mikrokosmos, a graded set of 153 pieces, and Finney's 32 Piano Games are examined through this paper. Copyright 2011 by Hyun-Joo Song ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS It is an honor to thank all those who made this dissertatiopn possible. I would like to express my gratitude for the encouragement and support from my major professor Pamela Mia Paul, and also appreciate the help and contributions of the two other committee members : Elvia Puccinelli and Gustavo Romero.

He studiedwithNadiaBoulanger in Paris, Roger Sessions at Harvard University, and Alban Berg in Vienna. A composer of much chamber music, his particular focus of concern was with structure. He adopted a musical principle which he described as "complementarity," based on his concept of the tensions ofopposing musical forces. This method ofcomplementarity, along with his preference for strong rhythmic motivation, his concern with variation, and his fascination with time as a philosophical as well as a musical phenomenon, were factors in forging his style. In 1949 he was appointed Professor of Music and Composer-in-Resi­ dence at the University ofMichigan. His prizes are many, among them that of the American Academy in Rome ( 1960), the Brandeis Medal ( 1968), two Guggenheim Fellowships ( 1937, 1947), and the Pulitzer Fellowship ( 1937).
