L SCHIRMER & CO., 338 Boylston Street, Boston, Mass. — THE function of the Boston Symphony Orchestra always has been to provide music of the highest class in the most perfect manner humanly possible. Such was the sole object of its founder, and that this ideal has been not only attained, but maintained, finds eloquent testimony in the generous and loyal support given to the Orchestra in the past twenty-eight years by the most discriminating musical publics in America. Only by adhering steadfastly to this ideal since its founda- tion has the Orchestra been able to hold its present position without a superior in the world and without a peer in this country. Commercial considerations have never been permitted to interfere with or to obstruct its artistic progress. It has ex- isted as nearly for art's sake alone as is possible in such a great organization. The result of this wise policy is an orchestra which is famous in all countries where the art of music is practised, an orchestra which is accepted as a model to be fol- lowed by all others, an orchestra whose concerts are eagerly sought by all cities, whose coming is always an event of prime importance in a musical season.

C C. HARVEY CO. 144 BOYLSTON STREET BOSTON &< — Symphony No. i, in B-flat major, Op. 38 . Robert Schumann (Born at Zwickau, Saxony, June 8, 1810; died at Endenich, near Bonn, July 29, 1856.) Schumann worked during 1832-33 on a symphony in G minor. The first movement was played for the first time at a concert given in Zwickau, November 18, 1832, by Clara Wieck, who was then thirteen years old. This movement was also played February 12, 1833, at Schneeberg, where Schumann lived for a time with his brothers, and at Leipsic, April 29, 1833, as a first movement of a First Symphony. It is said that the whole symphony was performed at Zwickau in 1835, under Schumann's direction; that the last movement was a failure. We know that the symphony was completed and never published. Schumann himself wrote to Hofmeister from Schneeberg (January 29, 1833): "The symphony is going ahead. It is being dfligently rehearsed here with Beethoven's in A major, and you would scarcely know it by the performance at Zwickau." In a letter dated in 1839 he wrote of a symphony which he had nearly finished in 1832. During the years from 1833 to 1841 Schumann wrote many of his finest and most characteristic works, but they were pianoforte pieces Etudes Symphoniques, Carneval, Sonata in F-sharp minor, Sonata in G minor, Fantasie, Phantasiestucke, Davidsbiindler, Kreisleriana, Novel- letten, Nachtstiicke, Faschingsschwank—and songs. But in 1841 he wrote the Symphony No.i, in B-flat; Overture, Scherzo, and Finale (Finale rewritten in 1845); Symphony in D minor (rewritten in 1851, and now known as the Fourth) ; Allegro for piano and orchestra (used as first movement to Piano Concerto, Op. 54). Schumann was married to Clara Wieck, September 12, 1840, after doubts, anxieties, and opposition on the part of her father, after a nervous strain of three or four years. His happiness was great, but to say with some that this joy was the direct inspiration of the First Symphony would be to go against the direct evidence submitted by the composer. He wrote Ferdinand Wenzel: "It is not possible for me to think of the journal,"—the Neue Zeitschrift fur Musik, founded by Schumann, Wieck, Schunke, and Knorr in 1834, and edited in 1 841 by Schumann alone: "I have during the last days finished a SONGS WORTH SINGING Sung by Madame Nordica.

Think of it, a whole symphony—and, what is more, a Spring symphony: I, myself, can hardly believe that it is finished." And he said in a letter (November 23, 1842) to Spohr: "I wrote the symphony toward the end of the winter of 1841, and, if I may say so, in the vernal passion that sways men until they are very old, and surprises them again with each year. I do not wish to portray, to paint but I believe firmly that the period in which the symphony was pro- duced influenced its form and character, and shaped it as it is." He wrote to Wilhelm Taubert, who was to conduct the work in Berlin: "Could you infuse into your orchestra in the performance a sort of longing for the Spring, which I had chiefly in mind when I wrote in February, 1841? The first entrance of trumpets, this I should like to have sounded as though it were from high above, like unto a call to awakening; and then I should like reading between the lines, in the rest of the Introduction, how everywhere it begins to grow green, how a butterfly takes wing; and, in the Allegro, how little by little all things come that in any way belong to Spring. True, these are fan- tastic thoughts, which came to me after my work was finished; only I tell you this about the Finale, that I thought it as the good-bye of Spring." (It may here be noted that the symphony was fully sketched in four days, and that Schumann now speaks of composing the work in Febru- ary, 1841, and now of writing it toward the end of that year.) Mr. Berthold Litzmann, in the second volume of his "Clara Schu- mann" (Leipsic, 1906), gives interesting extracts from the common diary of Schumann and his wife, notes written while Schumann was composing this symphony. Toward the end of December, 1840, she complained that Robert had been for some days "very cold toward her, yet the reason for it is a delightful one." January 17-23, 1841: She wrote that it was not her week to keep the diary; "but, if a man is composing a symphony, it is not to be expected that he will do anything else. The symphony is nearly finished; I have not yet heard a note of it, but I am exceed- ingly glad that Robert at last has started out in the field where, on G.

  • Samlealbum Fra Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt Og Emmylou Harris
    14-03-2016 19:00 CET Samlealbum fra Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt og Emmylou Harris Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt og Emmylou Harris er alle tre legender i musikkens historie. Sammen har de solgt over 200 millioner album på verdensbasis, og har turnert i flere tiår fremfor utallige fans verden over. At suksessen var stor da disse ikonene gikk sammen og satt i gang et samarbeid, var ingen overraskelse. Trioen ga ut to album sammen; Trio(1987) og Trio II (1999) og resultatet var oppsiktsvekkende! De to albumene ble til sammen solgt i over fem millioner eksemplarer – og ble belønnet med tre Grammy Awards. Albumene har nylig blitt remastret, og den 9. september kommer samlealbumet The Complete Trio Collectionsom består av tre CD-disker fylt av klassikerne samt sjelden og uutgitt musikk. Produsentrollen har Harris selv hatt. Selv om det tok lang tid fra Parton, Ronstadt og Harris begynte å spille inn musikk sammen til det ble ferdigstilt et album – var det verdt ventetiden. Trioankom i 1987; og inneholdt hit-låtene ”To Know Him Is To Love Him”, ”Wildflowers” og ”Father Along”. Det tok mer enn et tiår til før etterfølgerenTrio IIkom i 1999, men resultatet var minst like imponerende som det forrige albumet. Nå er det god grunn til å glede seg til å høre de uutgitte låtene som The Complete Trio Collection inneholder! Samme dato slippes også: My Dear Companion: Selections From The Trio Collection, et enkelt-album som vil inneholde noen låter fra samlealbumet. Father Along – en dobbel vinyl med alt av bonusmateriale fra The Complete Trio Collection.

We aim to break even on postage and will use the best method to minimise costs. One good innovation is the introduction of the “POST PLUS” satchels, which replace the old red satchels and include a tracking number. Available in 3 sizes they are 500 grams ($7.50) 3kgs ($11.50) 5kgs ($14.50) P & P. The latter 2 are perfect for larger interstate packages as anything over 500 grams even is going to cost more than $11.50. We can take a cd out of a case to reduce costs. Basically 1 cd still $2. 2cds $3 and rest as they will fit. Again Australia Post have this ludicrous notion that if a package can fit through a certain slot on a card it goes as a letter whereas if it doesn’t it is classified as a “parcel” and can cost up to 5 times as much. One day I will send a letter to the Minister for Trade as their policies are distinctly prejudicial to commerce. Out here they make massive profits but offer a very poor number of services and charge top dollar for what they do provide. Still, the mail mostly always gets there. But until ssuch times as their local monopoly remains, things won’t be much different. ----------------------------------------------- For those long term customers and anyone receiving these newsletters for the first time we have several walk in sales per year, with the next being Saturday August 25th.

  • The Recordings
    Appendix: The Recordings These are the URLs of the original locations where I found the recordings used in this book. Those without a URL came from a cassette tape, LP or CD in my personal collection, or from now-defunct YouTube or Grooveshark web pages. I had many of the other recordings in my collection already, but searched for online sources to allow the reader to hear what I heard when writing the book. Naturally, these posted “videos” will disappear over time, although most of them then re- appear six months or a year later with a new URL. If you can’t find an alternate location, send me an e-mail and let me know. In the meantime, I have provided low-level mp3 files of the tracks that are not available or that I have modified in pitch or speed in private listening vaults where they can be heard. This way, the entire book can be verified by listening to the same re- cordings and works that I heard. For locations of these private sound vaults, please e-mail me and I will send you the links.

  • Symposium Records Cd 1109 Adolf Busch
    SYMPOSIUM RECORDS CD 1109 The Great Violinists – Volume 4 ADOLF BUSCH (1891-1952) This compact disc documents the early instrumental records of the greatest German-born musician of this century. Adolf Busch was a legendary violinist as well as a composer, organiser of chamber orchestras, founder of festivals, talented amateur painter and moving spirit of three ensembles: the Busch Quartet, the Busch Trio and the Busch/Serkin Duo. He was also a great man, who almost alone among German gentile musicians stood out against Hitler. His concerts between the wars inspired a generation of music-lovers and musicians; and his influence continued after his death through the Marlboro Festival in Vermont, which he founded in 1950. His associate and son-in-law, Rudolf Serkin (1903-1991) maintained it until his own death, and it is still going strong. Busch's importance as a fiddler was all the greater, because he was the last glory of the short-lived German school; Georg Kulenkampff predeceased him and Hitler's decade smashed the edifice built up by men like Joseph Joachim and Carl Flesch. Adolf Busch's career was interrupted by two wars; and his decision to boycott his native country in 1933, when he could have stayed and prospered as others did, further fractured the continuity of his life. That one action made him an exile, cost him the precious cultural nourishment of his native land and deprived him of his most devoted audience. Five years later, he renounced all his concerts in Italy in protest at Mussolini's anti-semitic laws.

  • Oboe Trios: an Annotated Bibliography
    Oboe Trios: An Annotated Bibliography by Melissa Sassaman A Research Paper Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts Approved November 2014 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Martin Schuring, Chair Elizabeth Buck Amy Holbrook Gary Hill ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY December 2014 ABSTRACT This project is a practical annotated bibliography of original works for oboe trio with the specific instrumentation of two oboes and English horn. Presenting descriptions of 116 readily available oboe trios, this project is intended to promote awareness, accessibility, and performance of compositions within this genre. The annotated bibliography focuses exclusively on original, published works for two oboes and English horn. Unpublished works, arrangements, works that are out of print and not available through interlibrary loan, or works that feature slightly altered instrumentation are not included. Entries in this annotated bibliography are listed alphabetically by the last name of the composer. Each entry includes the dates of the composer and a brief biography, followed by the title of the work, composition date, commission, and dedication of the piece. Also included are the names of publishers, the length of the entire piece in minutes and seconds, and an incipit of the first one to eight measures for each movement of the work. In addition to providing a comprehensive and detailed bibliography of oboe trios, this document traces the history of the oboe trio and includes biographical sketches of each composer cited, allowing readers to place the genre of oboe trios and each individual composition into its historical context. Four appendices at the end include a list of trios arranged alphabetically by composer’s last name, chronologically by the date of composition, and by country of origin and a list of publications of Ludwig van Beethoven's oboe trios from the 1940s and earlier.

We all think we know plenty about the composer of the Ofamous G minor Violin Concerto. All the more surprising, then, that in fact we know very little about the composer’s life, as very little has actually been written about him. The first biography of Max Bruch did not appear until the 1980s! Max Bruch was born in Cologne in 1838, and died in Berlin-Friedenau in 1920. In the course of a long life, he witnessed more major upheavals in the history of music than most other composers. When Bruch was a child, musical life was dom in ated by the works of Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, Frédéric Chopin, Gioacchino Rossini and Ludwig van Beethoven.

  • Chamberfest 2018
    ChamberFest 2018 elcome to the 17th annual Juilliard ChamberFest. This year 140 students and faculty return one W week early from the winter recess for a tuition-free chamber music intensive. Working without interruption in the nearly empty Juilliard building in great depth on repertoire they have selected themselves, the musicians have found that ChamberFest’s unlimited rehearsal time and daily coaching yields an extraordinarily rich artistic and educational result. This experience therefore not only nurtures the devoted chamber musician at Juilliard, it also nurtures the broad and reflective education necessary for the training of the 21st-century artist-citizen. Launched in 2002, ChamberFest occupies a unique place in the life of the school, and after this year will have presented 1,300 students in 270 ensemble pairings with Juilliard faculty and guest coaches for almost 300 performances. Juilliard’s musicians have been joined in the past by students from London’s Royal Academy of Music, France’s Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris, Vienna’s Universität für Musik und darstellende Kunst Wien, and the orchestra academy of Brazil’s São Paulo State Symphony Orchestra. Past guest coaches have included soprano Barbara Hannigan, MacArthur Fellow Liz Lerman, and pianist Peter Serkin. ChamberFest has been a home for the traditional—works by Beethoven, Brahms, Dvorˇák, Mendelssohn, Mozart, Schubert and Shostakovich top the list—and the unusual. Included among the latter are interdisciplinary chamber music performances with dancers and choreographers; improvised presentations; premieres; the inclusion of distinctive European instruments rarely heard in the U.S. including the Vienna clarinet, Vienna pumphorn and the French bassoon; and this year’s season opener, by Claudio Papapietro Photo of cellist Khari Joyner Photo by Claudio Papapietro John Corigliano’s evocative Chiaroscuro for two pianos—with one piano tuned a quarter-tone lower than the other.
