Creston Sonata Pdf Creston sonata pdf Continue Paul Creston (born October 10, 1906-August 24, 1985) is an Italian classical music composer. Biography Born in New York Sicilian immigrants, Creston was self-taught as a composer. His work is usually quite conservative in style, with a strong rhythmic element. His works include six symphonies; a number of concerts, including two for violin, one for marimba and orchestra (premiere of Ruth Stuber), one for one piano, one for two pianos, one for accordion and one for alto saxophone (the latter is dedicated to Cecil Leeson); Fantasy for trombone and orchestra (written for Robert Marsteller and premiere). He also wrote Rapsodie for Jean-Marie Londeix for alto saxophone; suite (1935) and sonata (Op. 19, 1939), dedicated to Cecil Leeson (sonata was arranged by Marco Ciccone for saxophone and orchestra in 2008); as well as a set for the organ, Op. 70. Some of his works were inspired by the poetry of Walt Whitman. He died in Poway, California, a suburb of San Diego. Creston was one of the most performed American composers of the 1940s and 1950s. Some of his works became the basis of the wind farm repertoire. The zanoni, foreplay and dance and overture celebrations have been and remain on several state lists for contests across the US. Creston was also a well-known teacher, whose students included composers Irwin Suak, John Corigliano, Elliott Schwartz, Frank Felice, Charles Roland Berry; accordionist/composer William Schimmel; and jazz musicians Rusty Dedrick and Charlie Kwiner. List of music students by teacher: from C to F (Paul Creston) He wrote the theoretical books Principles of Rhythm (1964) and Rational Metric Notation (1979).

  • Baroque Elements in the Piano Sonata, Opus 9 by Paul Creston
    BAROQUE ELEMENTS IN THE PIANO SONATA, OPUS 9 BY PAUL CRESTON Chie Watanabe, B.M., M.M. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS December 2011 APPROVED: Gustavo Romero, Major Professor Elvia Puccinelli, Committee Member Pamela Mia Paul, Committee Member Jesse Eschbach, Chair of the Division of Keyboard Studies Lynn Eustis, Director of Graduate Studies in the College of Music James D. Meernik, Acting Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Watanabe, Chie. Baroque Elements in the Piano Sonata, Opus 9 by Paul Creston. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), December 2011, 37 pp., 46 musical examples, references, 43 titles. Paul Creston (1906-1985) was one of the most significant American composers from the middle of the twentieth century. Though Creston maintained elements of the nineteenth-century Romantic tradition and was categorized as a “Neo-Romantic” or “20th-century traditionalist,” many of Creston’s compositions contain elements of Baroque music. His Piano Sonata, Opus 9 provides significant examples of Baroque elements, while already foreshadowing his mature style. The purpose of this study is to explore Baroque elements in the compositional language of Paul Creston’s Piano Sonata, Opus 9. All four movements of the Piano Sonata will be examined in regards to its stylistic features associated with Baroque practices. These features mainly consist of rhythm, texture, imitative writing, and repeated phrase structure. Each category of the study will include comparisons of Domenico Scarlatti’s keyboard sonatas with Creston’s sonata. Through an examination of the Piano Sonata and its Baroque elements, this study hopes to inspire renewed interest in the work among musicians and to help the performer give a more stylistically coherent, and accurate, performance.
