P6 PERFORMANCES MAGAZINE MONSIEUR CHOPIN Author’s Note by Hershey Felder

MONSIEURCHOPINisthesecond“movement”of atrilogyentitled“TheComposerSonata.” The first movement,Beethoven,had its world premiere this season,and the finale,George Gershwin Alone,has been playing since February,2000. Traditionally, a Sonata is made up of three movements. The first movement is generally in “sonata form.” It is a highly structured work that begins with a thematic statement,which is then followedbya“workingout”section,followedbyareturnof thethemes,thenfurtherdevelopment, and finally a rounding out – a coda.First movements are generally dramatic,architectural,deeply thoughtful and emotional.This is Beethoven. Traditionally,the second movement of a sonata is a “Romanza” of sorts,a lush and beautiful expression of soul.This is Monsieur Chopin. Finally – the last movement of the traditional sonata is generally dance-like, extroverted and joyous,thoughstillinsomewaythematicallyrelatedtotheprevioustwomovements.ThisisGeorge Hershey Felder as Monsieur Chopin Gershwin Alone – the themes of which are suggested in both of its predecessors.

Monsieur Chopin - A “Romanza” for actor and piano.

Fryderyk Chopin (Zelazowa Wola, Poland 1810 - Paris, France, 1849) is thought of today as the “poet of the piano” whose keyboard compositions are of an unparalleled beauty. He is considered the inventor of the romantic piano sound,as well as the originator of the technical approach to the keyboard still in use today. His unprecedented and exotic use of melody and harmony anticipates impressionism in music – a movement that would only come to fruition almost half a century after his death.

WhenFryderykChopinfirstarrivedinParisfromhisPolishhomelandin1831,hisabilitiesatthekeyboard caused a sensation not only among Paris’ high society, but also among his accomplished and celebrated artistpeers.However,eventhoughhemadeParishishome,hecontinuedtoliveasaPoleinexileratherthan as a Parisian.He surrounded himself with other Polish exiles,and he instilled his Polish soul into every note thathecomposed.EventhroughouthisloveaffairwithFrance’smostfamouswoman,hislongingforthesounds and the rhythms of his homeland was the basis of many of his compositions. Fryderyk Chopin,1849

Today, we know Fryderyk Chopin as the most perfect of keyboard composers, but in his day, he actually earned his living as a piano teacher for the very wealthy and cultured elite.He had but a few professional pianists among his students,yet he took his teaching very seriously and his students were expected to be equally serious about their own work.

It is known that on matters of daily life,Chopin did not express his innermost feelings so readily,but his students did report that every now and then during their lessons, Chopin would begin to reveal himself to a degree that no one besides his students would experience. In the end,those who knew Fryderyk Chopin best have said that only his students really experienced the deepest gifts of their master,and that as a teacher,Chopin was the greatest of them all.

P12 PERFORMANCES MAGAZINE GEORGE GERSHWIN ALONE Author’s Note by Hershey Felder

The question most often asked by journalists,artists and the public is “What discovery about George Gershwin surprised you most?”

The response that immediately comes to mind is the polarization of opinion about everything Gershwin. He was beloved by the public at large, but he divided the critics in half.His friends and acquaintances said they either loved him deeply, or simply tolerated him. There were those that said he was a womanizer,and others that he had only one mistress — his music.

Musicians and composers either loved his playing and composing — or completelydismissedit.Therewerefriendswhosaidhewasamaninlovewith his art,and others who said he was a man in love with himself.While Rouben Mamoulian, famed director of Porgy and Bess, said that George had a genuine way of observing himself from the outside, Harold Arlen and other friends claimed that George lacked any ability for self-analysis. And although he engagedinsessionswithapsychoanalystoveralengthyperiod,Georgehimself said that he really had no interest in looking deep inside.

Achildof Russian-Jewishimmigrants,GeorgeGershwinbroughtdancemusic into the concert hall and made a “lady out of jazz.” He composed America’s greatest opera with the Black South as its subject matter, which interestingly enough,ledtoanumberof anti-Semiticattacks.George’spersonallettersreveal a very kind-hearted man, but there are a number of accounts to the contrary. There are recordings of George Gershwin’sown playing that are masterful,and others that reveal technical and musical deficiencies.

So given this polarization of thought,what was George Gershwin really like,and why did so many respond to him the way they did? TheMusic.

Thank you for attending George Gershwin Alone.
