Women – Violin – 20Th Century Tobias Broeker (2018): Women – Violin – 20th Century Tobias Broeker Women – Violin – 20th Century A compendium of compositions for violin concertante by female composers written between 1894 and 2006 extracted from the encyclopedia „The 20th century violin concertante“ © 2018 by Tobias Broeker. All rights reserved. 1 Tobias Broeker (2018): Women – Violin – 20th Century Introduction The following list is an extraction from my encyclopedia „The 20th century violin concertante“ (ISBN 978-3-00-050001-5) and shows all female composers who composed at least one work for violin concertante in the 20th century. The data below is presented in the following way: surname, forname (life dates): • title of composition 1 • title of composition 2 • etc The composers are sorted alphabetically by their surnames. Names are always written with the English alphabet, so specific characters from other languages like ä, ę, œ, ů or Cyrillic, Greek, Chinese, etc are left out. My initial research covered an „extended 20th century“ from 1894 to 2006, including the last years of the 19th century and the first of the 21st century. The listed compositions were written in this period of time. For more detailed information about the female composers and compositions as well as for male composers and their works for violin concertante in the 20th century, please check my encyclopedia. The book is available as an e-book and can be downloaded free of charge from my website www.tobias-broeker.de. It is also available through the RILM Music Encyclopedias.

  • On the Question of the Baroque Instrumental Concerto Typology
    Musica Iagellonica 2012 ISSN 1233-9679 Piotr WILK (Kraków) On the question of the Baroque instrumental concerto typology A concerto was one of the most important genres of instrumental music in the Baroque period. The composers who contributed to the development of this musical genre have significantly influenced the shape of the orchestral tex- ture and created a model of the relationship between a soloist and an orchestra, which is still in use today. In terms of its form and style, the Baroque concerto is much more varied than a concerto in any other period in the music history. This diversity and ingenious approaches are causing many challenges that the researches of the genre are bound to face. In this article, I will attempt to re- view existing classifications of the Baroque concerto, and introduce my own typology, which I believe, will facilitate more accurate and clearer description of the content of historical sources. When thinking of the Baroque concerto today, usually three types of genre come to mind: solo concerto, concerto grosso and orchestral concerto. Such classification was first introduced by Manfred Bukofzer in his definitive monograph Music in the Baroque Era. 1 While agreeing with Arnold Schering’s pioneering typology where the author identifies solo concerto, concerto grosso and sinfonia-concerto in the Baroque, Bukofzer notes that the last term is mis- 1 M.

    Edgar Meyer Biography by IMG Artists - IMG Artists imgartists.com Edgar Meyer In demand as both a performer and a composer, Edgar Meyer has formed a role in the music world unlike any other. Hailed by The New Yorker as “...the most remarkable virtuoso in the relatively un-chronicled history of his instrument”, Mr. Meyer’s unparalleled technique and musicianship in combination with his gift for composition have brought him to the fore, where he is appreciated by a vast, varied audience. His uniqueness in the field was recognized by a MacArthur Award in 2002. As a solo classical bassist, Mr. Meyer can be heard on a concerto album with the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra conducted by Hugh Wolff featuring Bottesini’s Gran Duo with Joshua Bell, Meyer’s own Double Concerto for Bass and Cello with Yo-Yo Ma, Bottesini’s Bass Concerto No. 2, and Meyer’s own Concerto in D for Bass. He has also recorded an album featuring three of Bach’s Unaccompanied Suites for Cello. In 2006, he released a self-titled solo recording on which he wrote and recorded all of the music, incorporating piano, guitar, mandolin, dobro, banjo, gamba, and double bass. In 2007, recognizing his wide-ranging recording achievements, Sony/BMG released a compilation of “The Best of Edgar Meyer”. In 2011 Mr. Meyer joined cellist Yo-Yo Ma, mandolinist Chris Thile, and fiddler Stuart Duncan for the Sony Masterworks recording “The Goat Rodeo Sessions” which was awarded the 2012 Grammy® Award for Best Folk Album. As a composer, Mr. Meyer has carved out a remarkable and unique niche in the musical world.

Avec l’œuvre musicale, sauf si elle repose sur un texte – et encore que la poésie contemporaine elle-même soit parfois difficilement déchiffrable –, tout est très différent. Son message échappe à toute définition. L’humanisme dont on affuble les derniers quatuors de Beethoven par exemple ne signifie pas grand chose, tandis que la dimension panthéiste de la Missa solemnis est plus proche de la Neuvième Symphonie que de la tradition liturgique. La production religieuse de Mozart – et celle des XViiie et XiXe siècles en général – demeure surtout théâtrale, et certaines pages sacrées de Monteverdi sont aussi dramatiques que la musique de l’Orfeo. La musique a perdu sa fonction rituelle. elle n’a plus de style spécifique.
