The strongest impressions of the concert season are linked with Baldwintone, exquisitely exploited by pianists eminent in their art. Schnitzer, Pugno, Scharwenka, Bachaus — De Pachmann! More than chance attracts the finely-gifted amateur to this keyboard. Among people who love good music, who have a culti- vated knowledge of it, and who seek the best medium for producing it, the Baldwin is chief. In such an atmosphere it is as happily "at home" as are the Preludes of Chopin, the Liszt Rhapsodies upon a virtuosos programme. THE BOOK OF THE BALDWIN free upon request.

Two brothers, Anselm and Joseph Huttenbrenner, were fond of Schubert. Their home was in Graz, Styria, but they were living at Vienna. Anselm was a musician; Joseph was in a government office. Anselm took Schubert to call on Beethoven, and there is a story that the sick man said, "You, Anselm, have my mind; but Franz has my soul." Anselm closed the eyes of Beethoven in death. These brothers were constant in endeavor to make Schubert known. Anselm went so far as to publish a set of " Erl King Waltzes," and assisted in putting Schubert's opera, "Alfonso and Estrella" (1822) in rehearsal at Graz, where it would have been performed if the score had not been too •difficult for the orchestra. In 1822 Schubert was elected an honorary member of musical societies of Linz and Graz. In return for the compliment from Graz, he began the Symphony in B minor, No. 8 (October 30, 1822). He finished the Allegro and the Andante, and he wrote nine measures of the Scherzo. Schubert visited Graz in 1827, but neither there nor elsewhere did he ever hear his unfinished work. Anselm Huttenbrenner went back to his home about 1820, and it was during a visit to Vienna that he saw Beethoven dying. Joseph remained at Vienna, and in i860 he wrote from the office of the Minister of the Interior a singular letter to Johann Herbeck, who then conducted the concerts of the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde. He begged permission to sing in the concerts as a member of the society, -and urged him to look over symphonies, overtures, songs, quartets, choruses, by Anselm. He added, toward the end of the letter: "He [Anselm] has a treasure in Schubert's B minor symphony, which we put on a level with the great symphony in C, his instrumental swan- song, and any one of the symphonies by Beethoven." Herbeck was inactive and silent for five years, although several times he visited Graz. Perhaps he was afraid that, if the manuscript came to light, he could not gain possession of it, and the symphony, like the one in C, would be produced elsewhere than at Vienna. Perhaps he thought the price of producing one of Anselm Hiitten- Formerly of the Vienna Opera House THE ART OF SINGING IN ALL ITS BRANCHES Special courses for teachers of the voice Scientific Voice Culture based upon the methods of the European Masters.

STORES IN ALL THE PRINCIPAL CITIES OF NEW ENGLAND — brenner's works in Vienna too dear, and there is reason to believe tlr Joseph insisted on this condition. (See " Johann Herbeck," by L. Her beck, Vienna, 1885, p. 165.) In 1865 Herbeck was obliged to journey with his sister-in-law, who sought health. They stopped in Graz, and on May 1 he went to Over- Andritz, where the old and tired Anselm, in a hidden, little one-story N cottage, was awaiting death. Herbeck sat down in a humble inn. He talked with the landlord, who told him that Anselm was in the habit of breakfasting there. While they were talking, Anselm appeared. After a few words Herbeck said, ?I am here to ask permission to pro- duce one of your works at Vienna." The old man brightened, his indifference dropped from him, and after breakfast he took him to his home. The work-room was stuffed with yellow and dusty papers, all in confusion. Anselm showed his own manuscripts, and finally Herbeck chose one of the ten overtures for performance. "It is my purpose," he said, "to bring forward three contemporaries, Schubert, Huttenbrenner, and Lachner, in one concert before the Viennese public. It would naturally be very appropriate to represent Schubert by a new work." "Oh, I have still a lot of things by Schubert," answered the old man; and he pulled a mass of papers out of an old-fashioned chest. Herbeck immediately saw on the cover of a manuscript "Sym- phonie in H moll," in Schubert's handwriting. Herbeck looked the symphony over. "This would do. Will you let me have it copied immediately at my cost?" "There is no hurry," answered Anselm, "take it with you." The symphony was first played at a Gesellschaft concert, Vienna, December 17, 1865, under Herbeck's direction.

  • Ottorino Respighi, Musicista Geniale Ed Estroverso a 130 Anni Dalla Nascita
    Ottorino Respighi, musicista geniale ed estroverso a 130 anni dalla nascita. di Giuseppe Testa Ottorino Respighi è, tra i compositori italiani del secolo scorso, quello che trovò diffusione e fama internazionale sin dall’inizio della sua carriera. E’ ricordato soprattutto per i tre poemi sinfonici romani, capolavori della letteratura sinfonica del ‘900 italiano, ma è anche stato un apprezzato musicologo. Respighi nasce a Bologna il 9 luglio 1879, inizia gli studi del pianoforte e del violino con il padre Giuseppe, studi che continua al liceo musicale di Bologna, dove è allievo di F. Sarti per il violino e la viola, C. Dall’Olio per il contrappunto e la fuga, L. Torchi e di G. Martucci per la composizione. E’ proprio Martucci che lo interessa alle forme sinfoniche e cameristiche dei romantici tedeschi, sino ad allora poco praticate in Italia. Si Diploma in violino nel 1899 e in composizione nel 1901 al liceo musicale di Bologna. Subito dopo si trasferisce in Russia dove ricopre il posto di prima viola dell’orchestra del Teatro Imperiale a San Pietroburgo, studiando per cinque mesi con Nikolaj Rimskij-Korsakov con cui può approfondire lo studio della sinfonia e del poema sinfonico, evidenziando la tendenza al descrittivismo e l’abilità nel trattamento dell’orchestra. Nel 1902 è accompagnatore in una scuola di canto a Berlino, dove conosce Ferruccio Busoni ed ha modo di studiare con Max Bruch. Ma la sua attività principale fino al 1908 è quella di violista, solo dopo si dedica alla composizione. Nel 1911 torna in Italia per sostituire il suo maestro L.

  • Respighi Ottorino
    RESPIGHI OTTORINO Compositore e strumentista italiano (Bologna 9 VI 1879 - Roma 18 IV 1936) 1 Nato da una famiglia di musicisti (il nonno Tommaso era organista del duomo di Fidenza) fu avviato alla musica dal padre, ottimo pianista e didatta. Iscritto al liceo musicale di Bologna (1891), studiò violino con F. Sarti, diplomandosi nel 1899, e contemporaneamente seguì le lezioni di contrappunto e fuga di C. Dall'Olio e di composizione di L. Torchi e G. Martucci. Nel 1900 fu a Pietroburgo, come orchestrale nella stagione operistica italiana dei teatri imperiali e conobbe Rimskij-Korsakov dal quale ebbe varie lezioni di composizione rimaste essenziali (come dichiarò lo stesso Respighi) per la sua formazione artistica. Tornato a Bologna, si diplomò in composizione nel 1901. L'anno dopo tornò in Russia come prima viola dell'Opera di Pietroburgo e vi rimase nove mesi, prendendo contatto con l'ambiente artistico che faceva capo ad A. Benois (il figlio Nicola sarà poi uno degli scenografi più cari a Respighi). Nel 1903 ritornò in Italia e l'anno dopo fu eseguita dal pianista F. Ivaldi a Bologna, sotto la direzione di B. Mugellini, la sua Fantasia in Sol minore per pianoforte ed orchestra che ottenne notevole successo. Nel 1905 la sua opera Re Enzo fu rappresentata dagli studenti dell'università di Bologna ed in quello stesso anno Respighi entrò come viola nel quintetto Mugellini per il quale compose il Quintetto in Fa. Nel 1908 R. Ferrari diresse al Metropolitan di New York il Notturno per orchestra e A. Nikish, a Berlino, la sua trascrizione per orchestra del Lamento di Arianna di Monteverdi.

  • IC Booklet 72005 Printers
    Muzio CLEMENTI Five Piano Sonatas 11-year-old Albert Wong Muzio Clementi (1752-1832) Clementi’s works have been published under a confusing array of opus numbers. The numbering of the sonatas here follows Alan Tyson’s Thematic Catalogue of the Works of Muzio Clementi (1967). Any musician who earns the appellation “The Father of the Pianoforte” certainly commands immediate attention. Clothed in this mantle fairly early in life, Muzio Clementi invites both admira- tion and conjecture. In a recent talk by the American pianist Michael Habermann (a longtime Clementi devotee), the nail was hit on the head when he described the current prevailing perception of Clementi: “Listeners should just stop defining Clementi as being a lesser version of his famous contemporaries. If at times he seems to lack the lightness of Haydn, the symmetry of Mozart, or the forcefulness of Beethoven, it is certainly not because of inadequacies. Quite simply, he was a composer with different aims and a different musical character. Once that reality is accepted, his unique qualities emerge and his pres- ence becomes as vital as those of his more celebrated colleagues.” Muzio Clementi Beginnings He was baptized Mutius Philippus Vincentius Franciscus Xaverius Clementi the day follow- ing his birth in Rome on January 23, 1752. The oldest of seven children, his brother Gaetano was a musician and his silversmith-father a music aficionado. Muzio’s talent appeared early, so no time was wasted in getting him to Antonio Buroni (1738-92), a choral master at St. Peter’s, for training. At age six he was doing sol-fa, at seven studying thorough bass with the organist Cordicelli, followed by work under the castrato-soprano Santarelli and possibly the counter- point-expert Carpini.

All’alzarsi del sipario Maria è al clavicembalo, in piedi vicino ad essa Simon. In una poltrona Maurizio, Cloteau e Kermarec tagliano i rosai della terrazza. Lison Fleuriot li guarda. Ad un tratto Cloteau la prende per la vita, mentre ella gli volta le spalle, e tenta di abbracciarla. Essa si svincola vivamente.
