Voice and Violin Uniform with the Present Volume -r;thj*lt;- Voice and Violin Uniform with the Present Volume Crown 8vo, art canvas, gilt top, 5s. Famous Violinists and Fine Violins By Dr. T. L. Phipson "In the prettily got up volume before us, Dr. Phipson, himself an amateur violinist of considerable note, has collected manj' anecdotes of great violinists, to wliich are added some valuable criticisms of their plaj'iiig, and has told what he has to say in an extremely entertaining manner. There is scarcely a dry page in the volume. We can cordially recommend Dr. Phipson's book to amateurs of the violin, for they :)re certain to fuid much in it to instruct them."—Musical Standard. "Dr. T. L. Phipson's notes and anecdotes of 'Famous Violinists and Fine Violins' contain a good many things that will amuse violinists, and many that may instruct them. A chapter on the early violinists of England is perhaps the most valuable part of the book."— Times. " In this nent volume we have one of the brightest and most enjoyably chatty books yet published on this subject. Something of the kind has been attempted before, but nothing that has shown so much pains and research, and nothing that bears such an impress that its compilation was a laliour of love."— Tablet. "The volume contains chapters on the violinists of the Italian school, on Ole Bull and Vieuxtemps, cliattily written, and including some anecdotes which are derived from the author's personal reminiscences. He describes the chief models of violms, and their respective peculiarities, with the care born of long and affection- ate study."—Manchester Guardian. " In a pleasant anecdotical and factful maimer Dr. Phipson gives his readers the fruit of his extensive reading; and also of his own personal knowledge of famous performers and instruments. The chapters on 'Secrets of the Cremona Violin Trade,' and on the qualities wiiich a good violin should possess, will in particular be found valuable by those who do not know a good fiddle from a bad one."—Newcastle Chronicle. "The chapters contain much curious and out-of-the-way information, and of some remarkable peri^onages he has a good deal that is interesting to say ... in matter enough to entertain and instruct."—Bookman. "Dr. Phipson, an experienced and elficient violinist himself, has given us in a handy volume an interesting and fairly detailed account of the old Italian masters and their instruments."—Literary IVorld.

Professor of Singing at Los Angeles, U.S. THIS LITTLE VOLUME IS INSCRIBED IN REMEMBRANCE OF MANY HAPPY DAYS AND BRILLIANT CONCERT EVENINGS, BY HER AFFECTIONATE FRIEND AND ADMIRER THE AUTHOR PREFACE The chief objects of the present Httle work are to amuse and instruct. It is a collection of episodes and personal reminiscences for which I had not " space in my Famous Violinists and Fine VioHns." In addition to what has been given in that work, I have recorded here a few details connected with my own career as a violinist, because I believe that it will tend to facilitate the labours of those whose livelihood depends upon their music, and of all amateurs who desire to rise to the rank of artists. In the present day, for the sake of novelty, there are many vain attempts to wander from the ro- mantic and poetic sides of the musical art, and to sacrifice this art to what is termed the science of music—to write what pleases the eye and con- forms to theory, rather than what pleases the ear and touches the feelings. In other words, there is considerable negligence of melody and cantabile (with its fine phrasing and graceful ornaments), and the production of much noise and cacophonia, which can never prove practically acceptable to vu viii PREFACE the world at large, however much it may be con- genial to individuals of pedantic dispositions. The little sketches, anecdotes, and reminiscences in this volume, may, I trust, counteract to some extent this undesirable state of things, and bring to the minds of my young fellow-artists many thoughts which will carry them in the right direction and help them on the road to success.

THE BOHEMIAN ORCHESTRAL SOCIETY INTRODUCTION The great German poet, Wolfgang von Goethe, ^^ has told us that where men sing, there you may enter without fear." This is very true. Even the drunken brawlers in the streets at night are much less dangerous when they sing than the surly, silent, quarrelsome brutes who have no music in them. You have only to join in their song to be made one of them at once—if such should be your desire. It is needless to repeat here what I have so often said before about the refining influence of music upon men's thoughts and doings. Some people think we have music in the world already enough ; " " others too much but I have say, Perhaps ; long been of opinion that its influence for good is so great, the more we have, the better for every one. It is, no doubt, a mistake to let the study of music interfere with the labour demanded by other pro- fessions on which the livelihood and welfare of a family depend; but a great amount of pleasure may be obtained from a moderate proficiency in the art, without allowing it to impinge too much upon the XI xii INTRODUCTION daily routine of business. There are two mistakes often made in this respect. The first is the endeavour to force one's children to become musicians, because music and singing happen to be looked upon as fashionable accomplishments, when they have not the slightest gift or disposition in that direction. The other is the labour undertaken by many ama- teurs in order to vie with professional musicians, whose entire lives are devoted to the cultivation of their art. It is well for an amateur to be ambitious, and strive to excel either in or music it painting ; and should never be forgotten that an amateur possesses advantages which the hard-worked professional can never hope to realise : to the latter music is often a drudge, whilst to the former it is a pleasure. An artist must play, or teach, often when he would rather do else whereas the amateur anything ; only plays when he or she feels inclined to do so, and never knows the drudgery of teaching. Between these two conditions there is all the difference which exists between pleasure and pain. In my yoimger days, with the exception of a few simple ballads for the voice, and some elementary pieces for the piano or violin, there were no effec- tive compositions, save such as could only be per- formed by artists. Now things have entirely changed in this respect, and musical composition has attained such a degree of perfection that pieces of every INTRODUCTION xiii grade of difficulty^ most of them good enough for performance in the concert-room, are to be obtained everywhere. There is no longer any reason for the amateur to sacrifice his time upon the most elaborate compositions, which he can rarely or ever conquer, when we find artists themselves performing in public certain pieces which the composer intended chiefly for the amateur. Good music is one of the greatest blessings which the has at our it will Almighty placed disposal ; charm if delivered in but with always proper style ; bad music the finest style can do nothing. This question of style is at the root of everything in it not to music ; applies only composition, but still more, perhaps, to the performance. Style is almost everything, and in many cases it is the most difficult thing to acquire. Let us take an example. Listen to the same song as heard in the street and in the or to an air as drawing-room ; operatic sung by a prima donna before the footlights, and in the school-room by a young lady just finishing her education. I remember one evening in Brussels when my mother had asked a few friends for a little music, and among them was a young girl who had just arrived from London, where Verdi's opera // Tro- vatore was being given for the first time.

  • TRAVEL and ADVENTURE in the WORKS of ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON by Mahmoud Mohamed Mahmoud Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department
    TRAVEL AND ADVENTURE IN THE WORKS OF ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON by Mahmoud Mohamed Mahmoud Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Scottish Literature University of Glasgow. JULY 1984 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I wish to express my deepest sense of indebtedness and gratitude to my supervisor, Alexander Scott, Esq., whose wholehearted support, invaluable advice and encouragement, penetrating observations and constructive criticism throughout the research have made this work possible; and whose influence on my thinking has been so deep that the effects, certainly, will remain as long as I live. I wish also to record my thanks to my dear wife, Naha, for her encouragement and for sharing with me a considerable interest in Stevenson's works. Finally, my thanks go to both Dr. Ferdous Abdel Hameed and Dr. Mohamed A. Imam, Department of English Literature and Language, Faculty of Education, Assuit University, Egypt, for their encouragement. SUMMARY In this study I examine R.L. Stevenson as a writer of essays, poems, and books of travel as well as a writer of adventure fiction; taking the word "adventure" to include both outdoor and indoor adventure. Choosing to be remembered in his epitaph as the sailor and the hunter, Stevenson is regarded as the most interesting literary wanderer in Scottish literature and among the most intriguing in English literature. Dogged by ill- health, he travelled from "one of the vilest climates under heaven" to more congenial climates in England, the Continent, the States, and finally the South Seas where he died and was buried. Besides, Stevenson liked to escape, especially in his youth, from the respectabilities of Victorian Edinburgh and from family trouble, seeking people and places whose nature was congenial to his own Bohemian nature.

  • Chapter Five: a Gentleman from France
    CHAPTER FIVE A Gentleman From France THE boom of naval gunnery rolled like thunder off the hills behind Vailima. Louis could feel each concussion as he sat writing in his study beside a locked stand of loaded rifles. With these the household was supposed to defend itself if attacked by natives during the civil war that had broken out in Samoa. It had been a gory business, with heads taken on both sides, but so far Louis’s extended family had escaped harm. He knew and loved many of the Samoans taking part, and despised the Colonial governors whose incompetence had led to this fiasco, yet he felt curiously detached from it all. The men on board HMS Curacoa, now engaged in shelling a small fort full of Samoan rebels, were his friends. Whenever any naval vessel put in at Apia, Louis liked to offer the men rest and recreation at Vailima, with a Samoan feast. In return he had been welcomed on board the Curacoa and taken out on naval manoeuvres to see how Victorian marine engineering and a well-drilled crew combined to create an invincible fighting machine, whose firepower was now directed at his other, Samoan friends cowering within the stockade, their small arms and war clubs useless against a British dreadnought. They, too, had been welcome guests at Vailima, where ‘Tusitala’ (the storyteller) was always willing to interrupt his writing to entertain native chiefs and their entourages. For them each Boom! now spelled pain and death, yet Louis could not wring his hands. He had done his best to avoid this small colonial tragedy, and destiny must take its course.

  • Power Gold: Concentration Game CMA Sets Trend for Industry
    February 10, 2020, Issue 691 Power Gold: Concentration Game This edition of Country Aircheck’s Power Gold is led by eight artists who combine for 46 of the Top 100 most-heard Gold hits. Luke Bryan and Florida Georgia Line lead the parade with seven songs apiece, followed by Jason Aldean and Zac Brown Band with six each. Rounding out the top PG hit-makers are Kenny Chesney, Thomas Rhett, Blake Shelton and Carrie Underwood, all with five hits in the Top 100.

  • THE QUERELLE DES CLÉS an Episode in Francisco Frontera De Valldemosa's Exuberant LIFE Antoni Pizà* the Graduate Center
    THE QUERELLE DES CLÉS AN EPISODE IN FRANCISCO FRONTERA DE VALLDEMOSA’S EXUBERANT LIFE Antoni Pizà* The Graduate Center, CUNY part 1: madrid 1858 In 1858, Francisco Frontera de Valldemosa published a peculiar music theory treatise in Madrid under the title Equinotación ó Nuevo sistema musical de llaves. The book, barely a hundred pages long, purported to have invented a new, simplified system of musical notation by reducing all clefs to only three: the usual G treble clef on the second line of the five-line music staff; a bizarre new D clef on the fourth line, which, oddly enough and for unexplained reasons, used the old C clef symbol (or ); and an idiosyncratic new F bass clef on the fifth line in the lower staff, which logically equated its pitch spelling to the G treble clef, but an octave lower (Fig. 1). Fig. 1. Valldemosa’s new, “simplified” three-clef system (Equinotación, p. 17, Biblioteca Digital Hispánica, BNE, Madrid). * Antoni Pizà is Director of the Foundation for Iberian Music at The Graduate Center of The City University of New York and a member of its doctoral faculty. He has written several books on the music of the Balearic Isles and four volumes of essays on music and the arts. 200 antOni pizÀ Needless to say, no country, conservatory, or individual, either professional or amateur musician, ever adopted the system. Writing a century later, musicologist José Subirá dismissed the enterprise entirely and argued that Valldemosa’s system – a composer who was “a protégé of the Spanish royal family”, he added reproachfully – was soon forgotten, indeed, although when it was first presented, he stressed, it had prompted “great admiration everywhere”, secured the initial support of the Paris and Madrid conservatories and, for that matter, the endorsement of some of the most respected French and Spanish musicians of the time (always my translations; Subirá, 1965, p.

  • Rossini: La Recepción De Su Obra En España
    EMILIO CASARES RODICIO Rossini: la recepción de su obra en España Rossini es una figura central en el siglo XIX español. La entrada de su obra a través de los teatros de Barcelona y Madrid se produce a partir de 1815 y trajo como consecuencia su presen- cia en salones y cafés por medio de reducciones para canto de sus obras. Más importante aún es la asunción de la producción rossiniana corno símbolo de la nueva creación lírica europea y, por ello, agitadora del conservador pensamiento musical español; Rossini tuvo una influencia decisi- va en la producción lírica y religiosa de nuestro país, cuyo mejor ejemplo serían las primeras ópe- ras de Ramón Carnicer. Rossini correspondió a este fervor y se rodeó de numerosos españoles, comenzando por su esposa Isabel Colbrand, o el gran tenor y compositor Manuel García, termi- nando por su mecenas y amigo, el banquero sevillano Alejandro Aguado. Rossini is a key figure in nineteenth-century Spain. His output first entered Spain via the theatres of Barcelona and Madrid in 1815 and was subsequently present in salons and cafés in the form of vocal reduc- tions. Even more important is the championing of Rossini's output as a model for modern European stage music which slwok up conservative Spanish musical thought. Rossini liad a decisive influence on die sacred and stage-music genres in Spain, the best example of which are Ramón Carnicer's early operas. Rossini rec- ipricated this fervour and surrounded himself with numerous Spanish musicians, first and foremost, his wife Isabel Colbrand, as well as die great tenor and composer Manuel García and bis patron and friend, the Sevil- lan banker Alejandro Aguado.

  • Stevensoniana; an Anecdotal Life and Appreciation of Robert Louis Stevenson, Ed. from the Writings of JM Barrie, SR Crocket
    : R. L. S. AND HIS CONTEMPORARIES 225 XII R. L. S. AND HIS CONTEMPORARIES Few authors of note have seen so many and frank judg- ments of their work from the pens of their contemporaries as Stevenson saw. He was a ^persona grata ' with the whole world of letters, and some of his m,ost admiring critics were they of his own craft—poets, novelists, essayists. In the following pages the object in view has been to garner a sheaf of memories and criticisms written—before and after his death—for the most part by eminent contemporaries of the novelist, and interesting, apart from intrinsic worth, by reason of their writers. Mr. Henry James, in his ' Partial Portraits,' devotes a long and brilliant essay to Stevenson. Although written seven years prior to Stevenson's death, and thus before some of the most remarkable productions of his genius had appeared, there is but little in -i^^^ Mr. James's paper which would require modi- fication to-day. Himself the wielder of a literary style more elusive, more tricksy than Stevenson's, it is difficult to take single passages from his paper, the whole galaxy of thought and suggestion being so cleverly meshed about by the dainty frippery of his manner. Mr. James begins by regretting the 'extinction of the pleasant fashion of the literary portrait,' and while deciding that no individual can bring it back, he goes on to say It is sufficient to note, in passing, that if Mr. Stevenson had P 226 STEVENSONIANA presented himself in an age, or in a country, of portraiture, the painters would certainly each have had a turn at him.
