Master of Music (Theory), August, 1995, 86 pp., 22 examples, 5 figures, bibliography, 122 titles. This thesis presents an analysis of Copland's first major serial work, the Quartet for Piano and Strings (1950), using pitch-class set theory and tonal analytical techniques. The first chapter introduces Copland's Piano Quartet in its historical context and considers major influences on his compositional development. The second chapter takes up a pitch-class set approach to the work, emphasizing the role played by the eleven-tone row in determining salient pc sets. Chapter Three re-examines many of these same passages from the viewpoint of tonal referentiality, considering how Copland is able to evoke tonal gestures within a structural context governed by pc-set relationships. The fourth chapter will reflect on the dialectic that is played out in this work between pc-sets and tonal elements, and considers the strengths and weaknesses of various analytical approaches to the work.

  • Program Notes When Mozart Wrote the Three Divertimentos, KV 136-8 at the Age of 16, He Had Already Spent More Than Two Years Away from His Hometown of Salzburg
    Program Notes When Mozart wrote the three Divertimentos, KV 136-8 at the age of 16, he had already spent more than two years away from his hometown of Salzburg. He had lived in London and Paris and travelled throughout Austria, Germany, France, the Netherlands, and Italy. Besides giving concerts at court, he met many famous musicians of the time and had opportunities to hear and study their music. Mozart’s early compositions are therefore often case studies in the styles and traditions of where his travels had most recently taken him. The Divertimentos were written in the winter 1771/2, after the second of three extended trips to Italy. A third journey was already in the planning and the Italian influence on Mozart’s writing is evident. It is uncer- tain whether the pieces are meant for a specific occasion; the title ‘Divertimento’ was in fact even added by another hand, possibly that of his father Leopold. The three-movement structure follows the pattern of the early Italian Sinfonia type, but J. Haydn and J.C. Bach have strongly influenced his compositions as well. Young Mozart met the two composers in London and looked up to them mentors and friends. The scholar Alfred Einstein hypothesizes that Mozart wrote the three pieces anticipating the need for some new symphonies during his next Italian journey. If required on short notice, Mozart would simply have added winds at the last moment. Before the birth of his gifted children, Leopold Mozart had made a business of writing musical novelties. He was a violinist, conductor, and teacher, his book ‘Versuch einer gründlichen Violinschule’ is alongside the textbooks by Quantz and C.

  • Guide to Repertoire
    Guide to Repertoire The chamber music repertoire is both wonderful and almost endless. Some have better grips on it than others, but all who are responsible for what the public hears need to know the landscape of the art form in an overall way, with at least a basic awareness of its details. At the end of the day, it is the music itself that is the substance of the work of both the performer and presenter. Knowing the basics of the repertoire will empower anyone who presents concerts. Here is a run-down of the meat-and-potatoes of the chamber literature, organized by instrumentation, with some historical context. Chamber music ensembles can be most simple divided into five groups: those with piano, those with strings, wind ensembles, mixed ensembles (winds plus strings and sometimes piano), and piano ensembles. Note: The listings below barely scratch the surface of repertoire available for all types of ensembles. The Major Ensembles with Piano The Duo Sonata (piano with one violin, viola, cello or wind instrument) Duo repertoire is generally categorized as either a true duo sonata (solo instrument and piano are equal partners) or as a soloist and accompanist ensemble. For our purposes here we are only discussing the former. Duo sonatas have existed since the Baroque era, and Johann Sebastian Bach has many examples, all with “continuo” accompaniment that comprises full partnership. His violin sonatas, especially, are treasures, and can be performed equally effectively with harpsichord, fortepiano or modern piano. Haydn continued to develop the genre; Mozart wrote an enormous number of violin sonatas (mostly for himself to play as he was a professional-level violinist as well).

Ostoich, D.M.A. Abstract Léon Goossens (1897–1988) was an English oboist considered responsible for restoring the oboe as a solo instrument. During the Romantic era, the oboe was used mainly as an orchestral instrument, not as the solo instrument it had been in the Baroque and Classical eras. A lack of virtuoso oboists and compositions by major composers helped prolong this status. Goossens became the first English oboist to make a career as a full-time soloist and commissioned many British composers to write works for him.

  • A Tonal Analysis of the First String Quartet, Opus 37, by Karol Szymanowski
    A TONAL ANALYSIS OF THE FIRST STRING QUARTET, OPUS 37, BY KAROL SZYMANOWSKI By PAUL CADRIN M.A., McGill University, 1979 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES ''Department of Music) We' accept this thesis/a^ conforming to t^ne /req^ir^d standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA December 1985 © Paul Cadrin, 1985 In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and study. I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the head of my department or by his or her representatives.

MUSIC Department of The University of British Columbia 1956 Main Mall Vancouver, Canada V6T 1Y3 Date 23 April I986 ABSTRACT In 1917, at the peak of the most productive period of his creative life, the Polish composer Karol Szymanowski (1882-1937) undertook his First String Quartet in C, opus 37. Of the four movements originally planned, three were published in 1925. These three movements reflect important directions in the evolution of the composer's style: from a youthful fervor toward German late romanticism (First Movement), through Szymanowski*s discovery of French impressionism (Second Movement), to his most daring experiment with polytonality (Third Movement). The complexity of this work, particularly of its tonal-harmonic language, raises questions which this dissertation proposes to answer.
