    Positions, Methodologies and Aesthetics in the Published Discourse about Brian Ferneyhough: A Critical Study Ian Pace1 Since Brian Ferneyhough achieved a degree of public recognition following the premiere of his Transit (1972-75) in March 1975 at the Royan Festival, a range of writings on and reviews of his work have appeared on a relatively regular basis. The nature, scope, style, and associated methodologies of these have expanded or changed quite considerably over the course of Ferneyhough's career––in part in line with changes in the music and its realization in performance––but nonetheless one can discern common features and wider boundaries. In this article, I will present a critical analysis of the large body of scholarly or extended journalistic reception of Ferneyhough's work, identifying key thematic concerns in such writing, and contextualizing it within wider discourses concerning new music. Several key methodological issues will be considered, in particular relating to intentionality and sketch study, from which I will draw a variety of conclusions that apply not only to Ferneyhough, but to wider contemporary musical study as well. Early Writings on Ferneyhough The first extended piece of writing about Ferneyhough's work was an early 1973 article by Elke Schaaf2 (who would become Ferneyhough's second wife),3 which deals with Epicycle (1968), Missa Brevis (1969), Cassandra's Dream Song (1970), Sieben Sterne (1970), Firecyle Beta (1969-71), and the then not-yet-complete Transit. Schaaf’s piece already exhibits one of the most

Yerevan has a rich history and was occupied as early as 6,000 BC. The fortress of Erebuni was erected there in the 8th century BC. Seized by a succession of conquerors, the city later passed back and forth between the Turks and the Persians until 1827, when it was taken by Russia. It became the capital of Soviet Armenia in 1920 and following the demise of the Soviet Union, the capital of the new nation of Armenia.

Perhaps no other composition was as crucial to Schoenberg's future, and, if one accepts the eventualities of that future, then also to twentieth-century music, as the Three Piano Pieces Op. 11 . They were not his first atonal works, for besides the last movement of the Second String Quartet, many of the songs in his magnificent cycle Das Buch der hangenden Garten, Op. 15, predated Op. 11. But in tenns of sustained structure (the second of the Three Pieces runs to nearly seven minutes), Op. 11 was the first major test of the possibilities of survival ina musical universe no longer dominated by a triadi­ cally centered harmonic orbit. And the survival potential was, on the basis of Op. 11, eminently satis factory.

He was born in Hartlepool, England in 1968, and studied at Chetham's School of Music, The Queen's College, Oxford and, as a Fulbright Scholar, at the Juilliard School in New York. His main teacher, and a major influence upon his work, was the Hungarian pianist György Sándor, a student of Bartók. Based in London since 1993, he has pursued an active international career, performing in 24 countries and at most major European venues and festivals. His absolutely vast repertoire of all periods focuses particularly upon music of the 20th and 21st Century. He has given world premieres of over 150 pieces for solo piano, including works by Julian Anderson, Richard Barrett, James Clarke, James Dillon, Pascal Dusapin, Brian Ferneyhough, Michael Finnissy (whose complete piano works he performed in a landmark 6- concert series in 1996), Christopher Fox, Volker Heyn, Hilda Paredes, Horatiu Radulescu, Frederic Rzewski, Howard Skempton, Gerhard Stäbler and Walter Zimmermann.

    Composer’s notes Michael Finnissy Edvard Grieg: Piano Quintet in B flat major (EG 118) Completed by Michael Finnissy Grieg wrote roughly 250 bars of a Piano Quintet in his ‘Kladdebok’ (sketchbook), immediately before the revisions that he made to ‘Peer Gynt’ for performances in 1892. This quintet ‘torso’ constitutes the exposition of a virtually monothematic structure, following Sonata principles similar to those found in Brahms or Franck. He also made some use here of earlier sketches for a second Piano Concerto (1883 - 87). The manuscript, held in the Bergen Public Library, has been published in Volume 20 of the Grieg Gesamtausgabe [C.F.Peters, Frankfurt], and in Edvard Grieg: The Unfinished Chamber Music [A-R Editions, Inc. Middleton, Wisconsin], neither edition attempting to extend the work. My Southampton University colleague Paul Cox suggested that I tried to invent a completion. After some general research and experimentation with the material, I decided to fashion a one-movement Kammersymphonie, in which the central ‘development section’ following on from Grieg’s exposition, consists of a scherzo (a Hailing, with imitation of Hardanger fiddle music) and a ruminative slow movement (in the manner of the Poetic Tone-pictures’ Op.3), which then proceeds to a recapitulation- finale in which some of the material previously assigned to the strings appears in the piano part, and vice versa. This labour of love began in 2007 and produced two successive, but unsatisfactory, versions, both of which were performed in London. Final alterations and revisions were completed in the late Spring of 2012, approximately 120 years after Grieg laid down his pen, and - appropriately enough – received a definitive performance at the 2013 Bergen International Festival, by the Kreutzer String Quartet and Roderick Chadwick.

  • James Dillon
    James Dillon New Music Biography James Dillon James Dillon is one of the UK’s most internationally celebrated and performed composers. The recipient of a number of prizes and awards including the Kranichsteiner Musikpreis and the Japan Foundation Artist Scholarship, he has also won an unprecedented four Royal Philharmonic Society awards, and most recently was awarded a BASCA British Composer Award for Stabat Mater dolorosa. In 1983, Dillon’s First String Quartet received its premiere from the Arditti Quartet at the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival. The Arditti Quartet has remained closely involved with the composer, having premiered and widely performed Dillon’s subsequent quartets, and Huddersfield is one of the many festivals to regularly feature Dillon’s music, most recently as Composer in Residence in 2014. In 2016, the Arditti Quartet premiered The Gates, for string quartet and orchestra, at Donaueschinger Musiktage. Nine Rivers, an enormous three-and-a-half hour sequence of works composed over more than two decades, was first performed by the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra in 2010 and has subsequently been heard in New York and at the 2013 Holland Festival to great acclaim. It was conceived as a collection of works with ‘internal symmetries’ and is indicative of Dillon’s tendency to think in terms of large-scale, complementary forms. In the mid-1980s, Dillon began a ‘German Triptych’, a set of works based on the idea of ‘illumination as the emanation from darkness’, which Richard Toop described as ‘a music full of figures which, like the stars, are intense, yet seem almost infinitely far away’.
