Abstract This monograph examines the post-exile, multi-version works of Sergei Rachmaninoff with a view to unravelling the sophisticated web of meanings and values attached to them. Compositional revision is an important and complex aspect of creating musical meaning. Considering revision offers an important perspective on the construction and circulation of meanings and discourses attending Rachmaninoff’s music. While Rachmaninoff achieved international recognition during the 1890s as a distinctively Russian musician, I argue that Rachmaninoff’s return to certain compositions through revision played a crucial role in the creation of a narrative and set of tropes representing “Russian diaspora” following the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution.

    ONE MOVEMENT SYMPHONIES BARBER SIBELIUS SCRIABIN MICHAEL STERN KANSAS CITY SYMPH ONY A ‘PROF’ JOHNSON RECORDING SAMUEL BARBER First Symphony (In One Movem ent), Op. 9 (1936) Samuel Barber was born on March 9, 1910 in West Chester, Pennsylvania. His father was a physician and his mother a sister of the famous American contralto, Louise Homer. From the time he was six years old, Barber’s musical gifts were apparent, and at the age of 13 he was accepted as one of the first students to attend the newly established Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia. There he studied with Rosario Scalero (composition), Isabelle Vengerova (piano), and Emilio de Gogorza (voice). Although he began composing at the age of seven, he undertook it seriously at 18. Recognition of his gifts as a composer came quickly. In 1933 the Philadelphia Orchestra played his Overture to The School for Scandal and in 1935 the New York Philharmonic presented his Music for a Scene from Shelley . Both early compositions won considerable acclaim. Between 1935 and 1937 Barber was awarded the Prix de Rome and the Pulitzer Prize. He achieved overnight fame on November 5, 1938 when Arturo Toscanini conducted the NBC Symphony Orchestra in Barber’s Essay for Orchestra No. 1 and Adagio for Strings . The Adagio became one of the most popular American works of serious music, and through some lurid aberration of circumstance, it also became a favorite selection at state funerals and as background for death scenes in movies. During World War II, Barber served in the Army Air Corps.

It had never been done before; it could not be done now.

I have always regretted that I could not have been there with a pocket kodak to take snapshots of those conscientious objectors arguing against the possibility of a thing that was happening. "Well, what is the moral?" asks somebody. Of course, there must be a moral and there must always be somebody that wants a at New York University on May 10, 2015 moral.

And even then don't be too sure, for some one might do it. The world moves swiftly nowadays! And if you ever hear a little group of conscientious musical and literary objectors arguing, with the cocksure tone so common to musical and literary objectors, that no creative art can ever •come out of a "colony," you can silence their arguments by the simple question: "How about the MacDowell Colony at Peter- borough, N. H.?" If they know anything at all about the Mac- Dowell Colony, they will be forced to qualify their objections with "Well, of course, that is the exception!" And if they don't know anything about the MacDowell Colony, you can tell them how the dream of an American musical genius has come true and what a radiance it sheds upon the lives and work of American creative artists.
