Beach 6964 1098 — "Une Nuit sur le Mont-Chauve" ("A Night on Bald Mountain") ; Fantaisie for Orchestra: Posthumous Work Completed and Orchestrated by Rimsky-Korsakov Modest Petrovitch Moussorgsky (Born at Karevo, district of Toropeta, in the government of Pskov, on March 28, 1835; died at Leningrad on March 28, 1881) In September, 1860, Moussorgsky wrote to Balakirev: "I have also been given a most interesting piece of work to do, which must be ready by next summer : a whole act of 'The Bald Mountain' (after Megden's drama 'The Witch'). The assembly of the witches, various episodes of witchcraft, the pageant of all the sorcerers, and a finale, the witch dance and homage to Satan. The libretto is very fine. I have already a few materials for the music, and it may be possible to turn out something very good."* In September, 1862, he wrote to Balakirev, saying that his friend's attitude towards "The Witches" (sic) had embittered him. "I considered, still con- sider, and shall consider forever that the thing is satisfactory. I come forth with a first big work. ... I shall alter neither plan nor working-out; for both are in close relationship with the con- tents of the scene, and are carried out in a spirit of genuineness, without tricks or make-believes. ... I have fulfilled my task as best I could. The one thing I shall alter is the percussion, which I have misused." A letter to Rimsky-Korsakov dated July, 1867, shows that he did rewrite "A Mght on' Bald Mountain," but re- mained unwilling to make further alterations : The extracts from Moussorgsky letters are taken from an interesting article by M. D. Calvocoressi published in the Musical Quarterly (N.Y.) of July, 1923. JUST ISSUED Schmidt's Collection of Short Trios FOR Violin, 'Cello and Pianoforte Short trios are always in demand and when musicians can find a number of interesting compositions in one collection they may well be grateful. In the Schmidt Collection of Short Trios are some exceptionally attractive works. — The Musical Leader. CONTENTS FERNANDO D'ALMEYDA EDWARD MacDOWELL Menuett in G Nautilus RUDOLF FRIML M.

SCHMIDT CO., 120 Boylston Street 1099 "On the eve of St. John's night, June 23, I finished, with God's help, 'St. John's Night on the Bare Mountain,' a tone picture consisting of the following episodes: (1) Assembly of the Witches, hubbub and chatter; (2) Satan's pageant; (3) Ceremonies in honor of Satan; (4) Witch-dance. I wrote the score straight away, without preliminary rough draft. I began on June 10th or thereabouts, and on the 23d came the time to rejoice. The work is inscribed to Balakirev by special request—and, I need not add, to my great joy. Your favorite bits have come out quite well in the scoring, and I have added a good deal to what I wrote. In the 'Ceremonies,' for instance, comes a passage which will make Cui say that I ought to attend a musical class. Here it is :" (seven measures in notation) "in B minor —the witches glorifying Satan, as you see, nakedly, in all primitive barbarity. In the witch dance comes the following rather original call, the strings and piccolo trilling on B-flat" (five measures in notation), "as I have said, over a trill on B-flat! G minor over B-flat major alternates in amusing wise with G-flat major over B-flat minor, with interruptions by the chords in F-sharp minor breaking in—a thing which would lead to my expulsion from the class to which Cui would have me consigned for the greater glory of my witches.

  • Piotr Ilich Chaikovski - Música
    Piotr Ilich Chaikovski - Música. 1 INTRODUCCIÓN Piotr Ilich Chaikovski En la obra de Piotr Ilich Chaikovski coexisten influencias rusas y centroeuropeas. Fue el primer compositor ruso que figuró en los programas de conciertos del resto de Europa. Hulton Deutsch - Música. Piotr Ilich Chaikovski (1840-1893), compositor ruso, uno de los músicos más destacados del siglo XIX. Nació el 7 de mayo de 1840 en Votkinsk, en la zona de los Urales, estudió derecho en San Petersburgo y recibió clases de música en el conservatorio de esta ciudad. Entre sus profesores se encontraban el compositor y pianista ruso Anton Grigórievich Rubinstein (1828-1894) del que Chaikovski recibió clases de orquestación. En 1866 fue nombrado profesor de armonía en el Conservatorio de Moscú por el pianista y compositor Nicholas Rubinstein, hermano de Anton. Allí el joven compositor conoció al dramaturgo Alexandr Nikoláievich Ostrovski, quien le escribió el libreto de su primera ópera, El voivoda (1868). De esta época también datan sus óperas Undina (1869) y Oprichnik (1872), el Concierto para piano nº 1 en si bemol menor (1875), las sinfonías nº1 (Sueños de invierno, 1868), nº 2 (1873, más tarde revisada y titulada Pequeña Rusia) y nº 3 (Polaca, 1875) y la obertura-fantasía Romeo y Julieta (1870; revisada en 1870 y 1880). En un principio el primer concierto para piano fue dedicado a Nicholas Rubinstein, pero éste lo calificó como 'imposible de tocar'. Fuertemente dolido, Chaikovski hizo múltiples cambios en la obra y esta vez se lo dedicó a Hans von Bülow, que contestó el favor tocando el concierto en su primera gira por Estados Unidos (1875-1876).
