JUDD, Assistant Manager 1 <UHE INSTRUMENT OF THE IMMORTALS QOMETIMES people who want a Steinway think it economi- cal to buy a cheaper piano in the beginning and wait for a Steinway. Usually this is because they do not realize with what ease Franz Liszt at his Steinway and convenience a Steinway can be bought. This is evidenced by the great number of people who come to exchange some other piano in partial payment for a Steinway, and say: "If I had only known about your terms I would have had a Steinway long ago!" You may purchase a new Steinway piano with a cash deposit of 10%, and the bal- ance will be extended over a period of two years. 'Prices: $875 and up. Convenient terms. Used pianos taken in exchange. 109 EAST 14th STREET NEW YORK Subway Express Stations at the Door REPRESENTED BY THE FOREMOST DEALERS EVERYWHERE .

This overture was composed at Paris early in 1838; probably in January of that year. The first performance was at the first per- formance of the opera at the Opera, Paris, September 10, 1838. The opera was originally in two acts; the libretto was by L6on de Wailly and Auguste Barbier. The cast of the first per- formance was as follows: Benvenuto Cellini, Duprez; Giacomo Balducci,* Derivis ; Fieramosca, Massol ; le Cardinal Salviati, Serda; Francesco, Wartel; Bernardino, Ferdinand Prevost; Pom- peo, Molinier; un Cabaretier, Trevaux; Teresa, Mme. Dorus-Gras; Ascanio, Mme. Stoltz. The story has been condemned as weak and foolish. It is also wholly fictitious. It is enough to say that in 1532 Cellini is in Rome, called thither by the Pope. He falls in love with Teresa, the daughter of Balducci, an old man, who favors another suitor, Fieramosca, the Pope's sculptor. Cellini attempts to elope with her, and neglects work on his Perseus, which he at last finishes in an hour's time, fired by the promise of Cardinal Salviati to reward him with the hand of Teresa. It should also be said that Cellini and his pupils and friends are disgusted early in the opera at a paltry sum of money given to Cellini by the Pope through Ascanio, but only after he had promised solemnly to complete the statue of Perseus. They decided to revenge themselves on the stingy and avaricious treasurer, Balducci, by impersonating him in the theatre. Fieramosca, who has overheard the plot, calls in the help of Pompeo, a bravo, and they plan to outwit Cellini by adopting the same costumes that he and his pupil Ascaniot will wear. The pantomime of "King Midas" is acted, and Balducci, among the spectators, rec- ognizes the king in a caricature of himself. He advances to lay hands on the actor; Cellini profits by the confusion to go towards Teresa, but Fieramosca also comes up, and Teresa cannot dis- tinguish her lover on account of the similarity of the masks. Cellini stabs Pompeo. He is arrested, and the people are about to kill *lt is true that there was a Giacopo Balducci at Rome, the Master of the Mint. Cellini describes him "that traitor of a master, being in fact my enemy" ; but he had no daughter loved by Cellini. The statue of Perseus was modelled and cast at Florence in 1545, after this visit to Rome, for the Duke Cosimo de' Medici. Nor does Ascanio, the apprentice, figure in the scenes at Florence. fThe librettists originally introduced Pope Clement VII. The censor obliged them to substitute a Cardinal. Berlioz wrote to his sister Ade4e on July 12, 1838, "It would, however, have been curious to see Clement VII. at loggerheads with Clement VII." For Clement's quarrel with Benvenuto and scenes with Salviati, "that beast of a Cardinal," see J. A. Symonds's translation of "The Life of Benvenuto Cellini" New York, 1890, pages 124—139. His Holiness took Benvenuto into favor again, and when he died soon afterwards, Benvenuto, putting on his arms and girding his sword, went to San Piero and kissed the feet of the dead Pope, "not without shedding tears." — him, when the cannon-shots announce that it is Ash Wednesday. The lights are turned out, and Cellini escapes. The thematic material of the overture, as that of "Le Carnaval Rc-main," originally intended by Berlioz to be played as an intro- duction to the second act of "Benvenuto Cellini/' but first performed at a concert in Paris, February 3, 1884, is taken chiefly from the opera. The overture opens, Allegro deciso con impeto, G major, 2-2, with the joyful chief theme.

A large body of published research exists regarding the physiology of breathing, the acoustics of singing, and solutions for specific vocal faults. There is similarly a growing body of research into the system of voice classification and repertoire assignment. This paper shall reexamine this research in light of baritenor voices. After establishing the general parameters of healthy vocal technique through appoggio, the various tenor, baritone, and bass Fächer will be studied to establish norms of vocal criteria such as range, timbre, tessitura, and registration for each Fach. The study of these Fächer includes examinations of the historical singers for whom the repertoire was created and how those roles are cast by opera companies in modern times.

  • From Page to Stage: Wagner As Regisseur
    Wagner Ia 5/27/09 3:55 PM Page 3 Copyrighted Material From Page to Stage: Wagner as Regisseur KATHERINE SYER Nowadays we tend to think of Richard Wagner as an opera composer whose ambitions and versatility extended beyond those of most musicians. From the beginning of his career he assumed the role of his own librettist, and he gradually expanded his sphere of involvement to include virtually all aspects of bringing an opera to the stage. If we focus our attention on the detailed dramatic scenarios he created as the bases for his stage works, we might well consider Wagner as a librettist whose ambitions extended rather unusually to the area of composition. In this light, Wagner could be considered alongside other theater poets who paid close attention to pro- duction matters, and often musical issues as well.1 The work of one such figure, Eugène Scribe, formed the foundation of grand opera as it flour- ished in Paris in the second quarter of the nineteenth century. Wagner arrived in this operatic epicenter in the fall of 1839 with work on his grand opera Rienzi already under way, but his prospects at the Opéra soon waned. The following spring, Wagner sent Scribe a dramatic scenario for a shorter work hoping that the efforts of this famous librettist would help pave his way to success. Scribe did not oblige. Wagner eventually sold the scenario to the Opéra, but not before transforming it into a markedly imaginative libretto for his own use.2 Wagner’s experience of operatic stage produc- tion in Paris is reflected in many aspects of the libretto of Der fliegende Holländer, the beginning of an artistic vision that would draw him increas- ingly deeper into the world of stage direction and production.

  • Richard Wagner on the Practice and Teaching of Singing
    Richard Wagner on the Practice and Teaching of Singing By Peter Bassett [A paper presented to the 8th International Congress of Voice Teachers on 13 July 2013.] Weber and Beethoven were still alive when Wagner was a teenager, and their long shadows, together with those of Mozart and Marschner fell on all his early projects. His first completed opera Die Feen, composed in 1833 when he was just twenty years old, was never performed in his lifetime but, even if it had been, it wouldn’t have sounded as good as it does in the best recorded versions we know today. The type of singing familiar to Wagner was far from ideal, and many German singers of his era were poorly trained and had unsophisticated techniques. His sternest critic, Eduard Hanslick had something to say on the difference between German and Italian singers at that time: ‘With the Italians’ he said, ‘great certainty and evenness throughout the role; with the Germans an unequal alternation of brilliant and mediocre moments, which seems partly accidental.’ Wagner had to entrust his major roles to inadequately trained singers in many cases, which must have been challenging to say the least. He worked hard to improve matters, pouring much time and energy into the preparation of performances. ‘I do not care in the slightest’ he once said, ‘whether my works are performed. What I do care about is that they are performed as I intended them to be. Anyone who cannot, or will not, do so, had better leave them alone.’ David Breckbill has written that ‘The differences between the singing which Wagner knew and that which we hear today are considerable.

Dr. William Hopkins Professor of Music Dr. Henry Onderdonk Professor Music Dr. Dean Suzuki Asst. Professor of Music sic HANS RICHTER'S CONDUCTING CAREER IN ENGLAND, 1877-1911 Paul Cummings San Francisco State University 1992 The subject of this work is the life and career of Hans Richter (1843-1916), an eminent Austro-Hungarian conductor who specialized in interpretations of German Romantic music written during the second half of the nineteenth century. Primary focus will be on the first ten years (1877-86) of his thirty-five-year career as a conductor in England. The Richter Concerts, his series of London orchestral performances between 1879 and 1902, receive the most detailed coverage, while his activities as conductor of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra (1875-98) are only covered where relevant. Among the areas discussed are the repertoire performed at his concerts, its reception by music critics and the public, and the similarities between Richter's London and Vienna repertoire.

    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-64299-6 — The Cambridge Companion to Wagner Edited by Thomas S. Grey Frontmatter More Information The Cambridge Companion to Wagner Richard Wagner is remembered as one of the most influential figures in music and theater, but his place in history has been marked by a considerable amount of controversy. His attitudes toward the Jews and the appropriation of his operas by the Nazis, for example, have helped to construct a historical persona that sits uncomfortably with modern sensibilities. Yet Wagner’s absolutely central position in the operatic canon continues. This volume serves as a timely reminder of his ongoing musical, cultural, and political impact. Contributions by specialists from such varied fields as musical history, German literature and cultural studies, opera production, and political science consider a range of topics, from trends and problems in the history of stage production to the representations of nation, race, and sexuality. With the inclusion of invaluable and reliably up-to-date biographical data, this collection will be of great interest to scholars, students, and enthusiasts. © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-64299-6 — The Cambridge Companion to Wagner Edited by Thomas S.
