BUCKLEY: Every few years Firing Line touches down on the question, Is classical music dying? We are lucky enough this time around to have got in to discuss the question two persons who have spoken to us before on the subject. One is perhaps the most distinguished pianist alive, the second, the senior man of music in New York City. Rosalyn Tureck recently stopped them dead with her recording for Deutsche Grammophon of the Goldberg Variations, of which she is a celebrated interpreter. Dr. Tureck was born in Chicago, was a child prodigy, graduated from the Juilliard School and went into the world as a great virtuoso. After the war she concentrated on playing the work of J.S. Bach and did so for many years, only recently going back to romantic work from time to time. Mostly she gives her time to scholarly work in Oxford: definitive editions of the Goldberg, the chromatic fantasy and other works. We will close the program at the end of the hour with two minutes ofTureck playing two variations from the Goldberg done for us years ago and played also at the White House on the 30Qth anniversary of Bach's birth. Schuyler Chapin is a New Yorker, an honorary graduate of Millbrook School, whose extensive career in the world of music led to his appointment as general manager of Metropolitan Opera Company. After that he became the dean of the School of Arts at Columbia University. Now, indefatigably, he serves as commissioner of cultural affairs for.the Giuliani Administration here in New York City. Let me begin by asking Dr. Tureck: Glenn Gould prophesied 20 years ago that in the future live music from the stage would end. Are there reasons for thinking this is true? MS. TURECK: There could be one reason in that we are living more and more in an electronic age. But I do think that the human communication that occurs when you play live concerts is something that can never be fully replaced. And although with CD-ROM, which interests me very much--! think it is definitely a future way of listening to music and learning about music--! don't think that the human being, the direct experience of the human being communicating music is going to be lost. MR. BUCKLEY: Well, of course, to argue that listening to it personally is preferable to listening to it on CD doesn't tell you that people are going to do the logical thing. By which I mean that I don't think Mr. Chapin is going to argue that you're better off listening to the music electronically than in person, but that doesn't belie the question that that is what more and more people are doing. MS. TURECK: It's a different experience, and the whole experience of reception is different, and I think the whole function is different, because, for instance, with CD­ ROM, you have the music score, you have some text about the music, you can follow each measure, you can jump from one place to another. You can study very carefully both with your ears and your brain, and with your eyes, the music text, the score, certain musicological ideas about it, as well as the actual sound of a particular performer. This is quite an experience, a total experience. In the concert hall I think also one has a tremendous total experience, but it's a different kind of experience and has a different function. © Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Jr. University. MR. CHAPIN: If I may- MR. BUCKLEY: Yes. MR. CHAPIN: -add to that. I think Dr. Tureck essentially is correct, but I would put it a slightly different way. The fact is that when you are listening to a record, a CD or whatever, you are sort of sitting back and the music sort of comes to you. When you're at a live performance, you are moving forward to join with the performer. There is a human contact between the stage and the audience. And that quality will never disappear. There is nothing to substitute for live performance. All of the mechanical wonders and the extraordinary things that are done technically do serve, as Dr. Tureck has indicated, as all kinds of things-as a pleasure, as a learning process, as all of that. But nothing replaces the human contact, because you in the audience move to join with the performer on the stage, and that quality is what makes live performance unique- MR. BUCKLEY: But, you know, that's- MR. CHAPIN: --and it isn't going to go away. MR. BUCKLEY: But that's a little like saying nothing replaces Plato more than reading Plato. Now I would agree. On the other hand, we are talking about the phenomenon of fewer and fewer people reading Plato. We're not talking about the phenomenon of a decreased share of music that is being sold going to classical music. It was 3.7 percent, as low as that in 1996; the next year down to 3.4 percent. So the graphs are all pretty discouraging, and that's what I wanted to draw your attention to. MR. CHAPIN: Yes, the graphs could be discouraging if you just took them literally. But you have to remember that in the course of the last 20 years, because of technical explosions and technical perfections, the audience has expanded. If you are talking about 3.2 percent of an audience back in 1920, let's say, then you would really have a cause to worry. But you are talking about 3.2 percent of an audience in 1999, which has available to it the marvels of mechanics which have helped people to come to music in the first place. So I don't think the statistic can be looked at quite as formidably as you are suggesting. MS. TURECK: May I interject something here? MR. BUCKLEY: Yes, sure. MS. TURECK: I think the statistic in itself is interesting, but it's a bald statistic and I would agree with Schuyler and what he is saying, because one must study all the relative inferences at the same time. When I was a child and radio was taking over the music world, I remember my teacher, Olga Samaroff, who was still then quite an active pianist, and all the active famous people in the performing world were frightened to death. They thought that their careers would be finished because radio was becoming popular and catching on, thousands and thousands all over the world were picking up radios and listening to performances on the radio. They thought never again would they have the great personal careers and the travel all through the world. Quite the contrary occurred, and I remember her telling me that. A complete reversal of what 2 © Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Jr. University. their fears had been and their careers flowered and many more people came to concerts as a result of having listened to them on the radio. MR. CHAPIN: Yes, I think that's exactly- MS. TURECK: And I think that's what's happening with recordings. MR. CHAPIN: It's what's happening with recordings, and I think you have to look at it in that way, because what Dr. Tureck has spoken about is totally true. We had the radio, which became a great promoter of music. In fact, the radio originally was supposed to be a music box in the home. MS. TURECK: Yes. MR. CHAPIN: We keep forgetting about that historically. Then you had the motion pictures and you had sound movies, and of course sound movies were going to take people out of the theater. MS. TURECK: Yes. MR. CHAPIN: They weren't going to be coming back to the theater. In point of fact, the theater is more vigorous in America now than it's ever been. Ever. And music, I believe, is in exactly that same position. The diminution has to do with size of audience; the size of audience has grown in such a way that we're talking about something that from the standpoint of people is tremendously important. I don't buy the statistic. MR. BUCKLEY: Well now, I have heard you complain that New York City schools simply stopped exposing students to music for 25 years.

  • The Pianist's Freedom and the Work's Constrictions
    The Pianist’s Freedom and the Work’s Constrictions What Tempo Fluctuation in Bach and Chopin Indicate Alisa Yuko Bernhard A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Music (Performance) Sydney Conservatorium of Music University of Sydney 2017 Declaration I declare that the research presented here is my own original work and has not been submitted to any other institution for the award of a degree. Alisa Yuko Bernhard 10 November 2016 i Abstract The concept of the musical work has triggered much discussion: it has been defined and redefined, and at times attacked and deconstructed, by writers including Wolterstorff, Goodman, Levinson, Davies, Nattiez, Goehr, Abbate and Parmer, to name but a few. More often than not, it is treated either as an abstract sound-structure or, in contrast, as a culturally constructed concept, even a chimera. But what is a musical work to the performer, actively engaged in a “relationship” with the work he or she is interpreting? This question, not asked often enough in scholarship, can be used to yield fascinating insights into the ontological status of the work. My thesis therefore explores the relationship between the musical work and the performance, with a specific focus on classical pianists of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. I make use of two methodological starting-points for considering the nature of the work. Firstly, I survey what pianists have said and written in interviews and biographies regarding their role as interpreters of works. Secondly, I analyse pianists’ use of tempo fluctuation at structurally significant moments in a selection of pieces by Johann Sebastian Bach and Frederic Chopin.

  • Bach's Goldberg Variations
    Bach’s Goldberg Variations - A survey of the piano recordings by Ralph Moore Let me say right away that while I am well aware that Bach specified on the title page that these variations are for harpsichord, I much prefer them played on the modern piano in what is technically a transcription and venture to suggest that Bach would have loved the sonorities and flexibility of the modern instrument, even though it inevitably involves essentially faking the changes of register available on a double manual harpsichord. I hardly seem to be alone in this, in that, just as every great cellist wants to engage with the Cello Suites, so almost every great pianist seems to want to record his or her interpretation of the Goldbergs for posterity and the public appetite for recordings and performances on the pianoforte seems undiminished. I have accordingly confined this survey to that category; doubtless more authentic accounts on an original instrument have great merit but they lie beyond my scope, knowledge and experience; I have neither the acquaintance with, nor appreciation for, harpsichord versions to attempt a meaningful conspectus of them; nor, indeed, do I have the recording on my shelves and leave that task to a better-qualified reviewer. Here, however, is a good collective survey of the harpsichord recordings from The Classic Review aimed at the average punter like me. In common with many a devotee of this miraculous music, my own first encounter with it was via the second Glenn Gould recording when, many years ago, a cultivated girlfriend introduced me to it; it was love at first hearing (assisted, perhaps by my attachment to said lady, but that’s another story…).

  • Annotated Bibliography of Sources on the History of Piano Pedagogy Compiled by Members of the NCKP Historical Perspectives Committee
    Annotated Bibliography of Sources on the History of Piano Pedagogy Compiled by Members of the NCKP Historical Perspectives Committee Connie Arrau Sturm (CAS) – Committee Chairman Debra Brubaker Burns (DBB) Anita Jackson (AJ) General historical surveys Boardman, Roger Crager. “A History of Theories of Teaching Piano Technic.” Ph.D. diss., New York University, 1954. Boardman investigated how theories of teaching piano technique changed from 1753 to 1953. He classified the theories into three categories - finger technique, use of the arm, and weight/relaxation. Within each category of theories, he not only analyzed how the body was used and how it interacted with the instrument, but also discussed how these techniques were taught. Boardman’s comparisons among theories helped pinpoint when important changes occurred, revealing the special contributions of each pedagogue. Boardman concluded that concepts of piano technique evolved from use of fingers only, to the coordination of the entire body (highlighting the importance of the brain). He also noted the strong influence of environmental factors (e.g., changes in the instrument, changes in the repertoire, and inspiration of great performers of the day) on the development of theories of teaching piano technique.

The authors described the evolution of piano study from eighteenth-century daily lessons, where students practiced in the presence of the piano teacher, to nineteenth-century weekly lessons that required long hours of daily practice in between.

  • “Goldberg Variations”—Glenn Gould (1955) Added to the National Registry: 2003 Essay by Tim Page (Guest Post)*
    “Goldberg Variations”—Glenn Gould (1955) Added to the National Registry: 2003 Essay by Tim Page (guest post)* Glenn Gould Original label Original album In hindsight, one can almost believe that Glenn Gould had it all planned out--the unknown 22-year old Canadian pianist would come to America, astound the critics, win what would turn out to be a life-long record contract on the basis of a single concert, choose an austere and (then) rarely-heard work for his first album, turn that into a smash success, make himself world famous, and change the course of Bach interpretation forever. Foreseen or not, that’s pretty much what happened. Gould’s American debut--at the Phillips Gallery in Washington, DC, on January 2, 1955--elicited a rapturous response from the late Paul Hume, then the music critic for the “Washington Post”: Few pianists play the piano so beautifully, so lovingly, so musicianly in manner and with such regard for its real nature and its enormous literature…Glenn Gould is a pianist with rare gifts for the world. It must not long delay hearing and according him the honor and audience he deserves. We know of no pianist anything like him of any age. On the basis of a single performance, David Oppenheim, the director of Columbia Masterworks (now SONY Classical) signed Gould to an exclusive contract--and it was decided that the pianist's first recording would be the “Goldberg Variations.” It was an audacious choice for many reasons, and it is not surprising that some executives at Columbia felt a certain apprehension about launching a new artist in such esoteric repertory.

  • The Pianistic Legacy of Olga Samaroff: Her Contributions to the Musical World
    The Pianistic Legacy of Olga Samaroff: Her Contributions to the Musical World The Pianistic Legacy of Olga Samaroff: Her Contributions to the Musical World Reiko ISHII Key Words: Olga Samaroff, piano pedagogy, pianist, teaching philosophy 1. Introduction 1.1 Purpose of the study This study examines the life and accomplishments of Olga Samaroff, one of the most famous and influential American musicians during the first half of the twentieth century, and discusses her contributions to music education and the musical world. Samaroff was an international concert pianist and a wife of the conductor Leopold Stokowski as well as a successful piano teacher and writer. This research begins with her biography, describes her pedagogical method and teaching philosophy, and then, discusses how her unique teaching method and high standards of musicianship influenced and contributed to culture and society in the U.S. 1.2 Significance of the study To date, research concerning Olga Samaroff is limited even though she made distinguished contributions to the classical music scene. Samaroff is a legendary but almost forgotten pianist of the early 1900’s who was overshadowed by Leopold Stokowski, her second husband as well as renowned conductor. Especially outside of the U.S., she is relatively unknown to most people and there is no publication available on Samaroff in Japan. In general, traditional piano teaching method is that student should follow what teacher says and imitate his or her teachers’ performance. Samaroff’s teaching method and philosophy were completely opposite from the traditional one. There were two purposes of her piano teaching, musical independence and human development of piano students.
