String Trio The French String Trio was founded in 1959, and has become one of Europe's most renowned performers of chamber music. Gerard Jarry on violin, Serge Collot on viola, and MichelTournus on cello were originally drawn together by:their common fondness of Mozart"s Divertiinento K. 563, which they performthis afternoon. These great artists are equally at home with works byromantlc and modern composers, and their repertory includes pieces written as recently as 1971. Each member of the ensemble is a virtuoso in his own right. GERARD JARRY, one of France's best known violinists, is often a guest performer with other ensembles and chamber Orchestras throughout Europe. In 1951 he won the grand prize at the Long­ Thibuad Competition. SERGE COllOT began his formal training at the Paris Conser­ vatory where he is now professor of viola, and also professor of cham­ ber music at the Academie Internationale d'Ete in Nice. One of the original members of the Parrenin Quartet at its inception in 1942, Mr. Collet was also a moving force in the founding of "Les Concerts Du Domain Musical", consisting of a small group of musicians cen­ tering around Pierre Boulez. MICHEL TOURNUS, cellist with the French String Trio, has studied the cello and piano since age five. In 1949 he won first prize at the Paris Conservatory where he studied with Pierre Fournier. He has appeared as a soloist with orchestras throughout Europe. Recently in Mexico, the French String Trio gave their 500th con­ cert. They have performed in many countries throughout the world, and their recordings include works by Bach, Haydn, Mozart, Bee­ thoven, and Schubert. Friends of Chamber Music presented this superb group in Stock­ ton nearly two years ago, in Febuary 1973. In response to numerous requests, and with great pleasure, we again present the French String Trio on our series. 111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111.

    ** :_2l' *Z*<fc>lcJ % J CfoekjiHtykw 99.5 mc FM Program Folio, vol. 2, no. 7, April 3-16 SINCE YOU CAN LISTEN TO RADIO AND TV FREE, WITHOUT budging from your living room, twisting programs on and off with the flick of a dial, this means a huge audience but also a fluid and slack one. It places a premium on the slick and the quick, the noisy, the flashy, and ephemeral. It means pampering the audi- ence, treating it as one treats a child whose attention span is short, whose interests are sensuous and surfacy, and whose fancy is a wandering one. Perhaps nine-tenths of the brains and energy in radio and TV are directed toward finding something gaudy to catch the attention, something wry to evoke laughter, something new and ingenious to tickle the fancy. This makes for a somewhat bizarre sprightliness and a sense of alertness and tension, but not for substance and emotional depth. IN THE WORLD OF BOOKS A NUMBER OF AUDIENCE TASTE levels are given a chance to operate, with none shut out, whether it be symbolist poetry or the dregs of the newsstand pulps. Until radio and TV find some means for providing a comparable set of choices for varying audience levels, with no significant level shut out, there can be little valid talk of a cultural democracy of audience choice. a quotation from Max Lemer's "America as a Civilization" (Simon & Schuster, 1957). The staff of WBAl humbly submits this folio as a partial fulfillment of Mr. Lemer's ideal.

Dutilleux and the Violin 11. Lutosławski and the Violin 12. Applications for the Modern Performer Conclusion Hillis 3 Abstract (English) Henri Dutilleux (1916-2013) and Witold Lutosławski (1913-1994) composed their mature works for violin in the 1970s and 1980s. Although their violin repertoire is contemporary in nature, their musical languages are rooted in relatively traditional compositional practices. Both composers developed their respective compositional voices with a respect for tradition and an eye toward innovation. During a period of diverse twentieth century practices such as neoclassicism and serialism, Dutilleux and Lutosławski refrained from fully adopting any one system and instead sought to incorporate a personalized approach to texture and orchestration with traditional techniques in harmony and form. In this paper, I first discuss the relationship between the two composers based on their meetings post-World War Two and their written correspondence. I argue that it was Dutilleux's and Lutoslawski's shared desire to integrate their knowledge of music history with new compositional techniques that makes their musical languages convincing to modern day performers.

  • A Guide to Forgotten String Quartets
    SECOND EDITION A Guide to Forgotten String Quartets Exploring unjustly neglected masterpieces An eBook by Lyle Chan published by Vexations840 a mysterious organization dedicated to classical music at its finest Second Edition, February 2013 © 2013 Vexations840 Pty Ltd PO Box 309, Edgecliff NSW 2027, Australia [email protected] you will enjoy visiting www.forgottenstringquartets.com 2 Introduction to the Second Edition As we stated in our First Edition, A Guide to Forgotten String Quartets was intended to take advantage of the swiftness of e-publishing and be revised quickly towards a second and subsequent editions. This Second Edition is the result of the very encouraging emails we’ve received. Most of your emails have been simply about how much you’ve enjoyed the coverage and found the eBook useful. Some of you have also brought additional works to our attention, many of which we’ve included here. This new edition adds another 10 quartets which amounts to nearly 3 hours of listening time. We’ve chosen a balance of little-known works by famous composers like Samuel Barber, Kurt Weill, Franz Liszt, Beethoven (yes, even this titan of a composer has neglected works) as well as composers whose entire output, not just their string quartets, is largely forgotten, such as Chevalier de Saint-George and Malipiero. And one of the new quartets is in fact a multicomposer suite of 16 movements from Russia called Les Vendredis, certainly one of the most interesting discoveries we’ve made. Since the First Edition, the internet app called Spotify has been widely adopted by the classical music community and so we have begun to include Spotify listening links – we’ll start with new works being added to this Second Edition, and retrospectively add links for the rest.
