ELLIS, MANAGER 641 FROM the very beginning of a musical education, nothing is so important as a correct appreciation of tone. Hence the child should receive its early impressions from a Steinv^ay Piano. The exquisite Steinway tone is recognized as ideal, and it has made this instrument world- famous. Superior craftsmanship builds the Steinway for lifetime usage, and all the strain of "prac- tice years" does not make its action uneven or lessen its sweet- ness and resonance of tone. Under these circumstances, no other instrument is "good enough to begin on." Consider, too, that a Steinway costs but little more than an ordinary "good" piano. 642 8 B©§iL©ini Thirty-seventh Season. 191 7- 191 Dr. KARL MUCK. Conductor ^j\a It Violins. Witek, A.

Robert Schumann (Born at Zwickau, June 8, 1810; died at Endenich, Julj'' 29, 1856.) "Genoveva," opera in four acts, text by Robert Reinick (after the tragedies by Hebbel and Tieck), music by Robert Schumann, was per- formed for the first time at Leipsic, June 25, 1850. The chief singers were Miss Mayer, Genoveva; Mrs. Giinther-Bachmann, Margaretha; Brassin, Siegfried; Widemann, Golo. The first performance of the overture was at the Gewandhaus, Leipsic, February 25, 1850, for the benefit of the Orchestra Pension Fund. Schumann conducted. His concert piece for four horns. Op. 86, was then performed for the first time; the melodrama-music and the choruses of Mendelssohn's "CEdipus" were also heard for the first time. Other early concert performances were at Hamburg, March 16, 1850, from manuscript, Schumann conductor; at Diisseldorf, September 7, 1850, at a "reception concert"* to the Schumanns, Julius Tausch con- ductor; at Cologne, October 22, 1850, Ferdinand Hiller conductor. The overture was sketched April 1-5, 1847, at Dresden. The in- — *The programme of this concert included, besides the overture to "Genoveva," songs, "Widmung" (sung by Miss Hartmann), "Die Lotosblume" (sung by Miss Altgelt), " Wanderlied " (sung by Mr. Nieio)— and the second part of "Paradise and the Peri." There was a supper with toasts, songs, and a chorus, and at the end there was a ball. JUST ISSUED SELECTED VIOLIN STUDIES SONATA Vol. ALTHAUS, BASIL and Staccato. IN D 5a-b-c. Op. 65.

The overture was performed in Boston for the first time at a concert of the Harvard Musical Association, March i, 1866. It was performed in New York at a concert of the Philharmonic Society, Carl Bergmann conductor, March 16, 1861. * As early as 1841 Schumann endeavored to obtain a libretto from Griepenkerl. He wrote in 1842: "Do you know what is my morning and evening prayer as an artist? German opera. There is a field for work." He thought of an opera to be founded on Byron's "Corsair," and composed a chorus and aria. He sought anxiously for a subject that might inspire him. At last in 1847 he chose the legend of Genevieve of Brabant. Reinick's text did not fully satisfy him; nor was Hebbel pleased, although he refused to help out the composer. Schumann himself undertook the task of revision. Then there was delay in securing a performance, and at one time Schumann thought of suing the manager of the Leipsic opera-house. When the opera was produced, it was the time, as Schumann wrote to a friend, when one preferred to go into the woods rather than the theatre. There were three performances, and the opera was put aside. It is occasionally revived in Germany, but it never had an abiding-place in a repertory. The legend of Genevieve de Brabant was in detail told, so far as literature is concerned, in the Golden Legend, in the Chronicle (1472) of Matthias Emmich, doctor of theology, and of a Carmelite monastery at Boppard, and by the Jesuit Cerisier; but there were Complaints* founded on the legend before that. In the old story Genevieve, the daughter of the Duke of Brabant, and in 1 73 1 wife of Sifroy, Count of the Palatinate, was slandered foully by Golo, steward of the household, because she had not listened to his amorous addresses. She was con- demned to death, but this mercy was shown her : she was left to her fate in the Forest of Ardennes. There she gave birth to a child. The two lived on roots and herbs and the milk of a hind. Six years afterwards Sifroy, who in the mean time had found out that Genevieve was inno- cent, came upon her by accident when he was hunting. Later writers turn Golo, the monster, into a handsome young man, much to the regret of Heine, who deplored the disappearance of the old chap-books, with their abominable woodcuts, which were dear to his childhood.

  • George F. Bristow Concertmaster, 1850-55 Philharmonic Member 1842-84 B
    George F. Bristow Concertmaster, 1850-55 Philharmonic Member 1842-84 b. New York, 1825 d. New York, 1898 A founding member of the New York Philharmonic from 1842, George Bristow was the first Concertmaster to succeed U.C. Hill, the founder of the Orchestra. A working musician for most of his life, Bristow began playing in the Olympia Theatre orchestra at the age of 11, and maintained an eclectic performance career even after he joined the Philharmonic six years later. In addition to his work as a violinist, Bristow was conductor of the Harmonic Society from 1851 and director of the Mendelssohn Union. He was also an active church organist and a dedicated composer, writing cantatas, overtures, quartets, anthems, songs, piano pieces and an opera Rip Van Winkle . The Philharmonic has performed eight of his works, the most recent being his String Quartet Op. 2 performed in 2002 at a Philharmonic Ensembles concert. Richard Arnold Concertmaster 1885-1909 Philharmonic Member 1876-1909 b. Eilenberg, Germany, 1845 d. New York, 1918 German violinist Richard Arnold was an important leader of the Philharmonic both as musician and administrator. In addition to his duties as Concertmaster he was a Director of the Society from 1879-95, and Vice President from 1895-1918. Under his watch the Philharmonic made its seminal transition from self-governing organization to modern business administration in 1909 with a managing staff and board. It was at this time that Gustav Mahler was hired as Music Director, and it was with Richard Arnold that Mahler did much of his corresponding.

  • Fingering Strategies in the Prelude of J.S. Bach's Sixth
    FINGERING STRATEGIES IN THE PRELUDE OF J.S. BACH’S SIXTH SUITE FOR SOLO CELLO ALEXANDRA CLAIRE PARTRIDGE A dissertation submitted to Massey University and Victoria University of Wellington in partial fulfilment of the degree Masters of Musical Arts in Classical Performance New Zealand School of Music 2014 ABSTRACT The introduction of this exegesis presents a brief history of Bach’s cello suites, explores the relevance and reliability of the manuscript sources and discusses the intended five-stringed instrument for Suite No. 6. Part One compares and contrasts the fingering patterns within selected extracts from eleven different editions of the Prelude. It examines the varying interpretations and takes into account the fingering choices that have been adopted in the publications. Part Two of this exegesis comprises this author’s version of the Prelude. This incorporates the technically and musically convincing fingering patterns found from the research in prior parts of this study, as well as using the author’s own knowledge of cello pedagogy. The ultimate purpose of this research is to provide a comprehensive and informed version in which challenges of playing this movement are largely minimised. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost, my gratitude goes to my family. If it weren’t for their love, support and dedication to my musical growth right from day one, my passion would never have been ignited. A huge thank you goes to my past and present teachers, particularly to David Chickering who first delighted me with the Bach Suites, and to Inbal Megiddo for her encouragement and mentorship. Lastly, I would like to express my appreciation to my supervisor Professor Donald Maurice, because his wisdom, guidance and patience helped me through each stage of this exegesis.

  • Music. a Monthly Magazine Devoted to the Art, Science, Technic and Literature of Music (Chicago, 1891-1902)
    Music. A Monthly Magazine Devoted to the Art, Science, Technic and Literature of Music (Chicago, 1891-1902) A musical reflection of the American Progressive movement’s concerns for education and reform, Music was published and edited by the music educator and prolific writer William Smythe Babcock (W. S. B.) Mathews (1837-1912). From the first issue, appearing in November of 1891, Music published two volumes per year with each monthly issue containing in excess of 100 pages in octavo format. One double issue appeared in August-September of 1901 and publication was suspended between May and August of 1902. In January 1903 the journal merged with Philharmonic (Chicago, 1901-1903). Totaling some 15,000 pages over 11 years, Music represented the high ideals and progressive character of the editor and chief contributors. Mathews saw the need for a more serious music journal in the United States, to stand in contrast to the numerous news- and review-oriented music journals already in wide circulation. Mathews thus summarized his aims for the journal: “That idea, need it be said? is the establishment of a musical periodical of a character and scope not yet realized in the musical world.”1 W. S. B. Mathews was born on a New Hampshire farm in an environment mostly devoid of music.2 Musically, he was largely self-taught, studying piano with local teachers in New Hampshire, later in Boston, and with William Mason during the summers of 1871 to 1873. During the early 1860s, Mathews taught music in Georgia, North Carolina, West Virginia, Alabama, and Illinois, before finally settling in Chicago in 1867.
