WILEY HITCHCOCK Quartet in B-flat major, Op. 64, No. 3 JOSEPH HAYDN Chamber music owes much to Joseph Haydn. Almost all of the chamber works before his contributions were based on the continuo principle: the chamber group was supported by a keyboard instrument which filled in the harmonies between a bass part and the florid upper parts. Now, since the continuo player extemporized, there was much indiscriminate doubling of notes, and the written-down parts of the chamber instruments had no absolute tonal meaning; the composer could never be sure how his music would sound. In nearly eighty string quartets, and many other chamber works, Haydn attempted to solve the problem of creating chamber music intended as independent of the "help­ ing hand" of a continuo.

MURPHY GREGOR PIATIGORSKY ELIE WIESEL November 2, 1975 Mr. Artur Rubinstein Beverly Wilshire Hotel Beverly Hills, California Dear Mr. Rubinstein: First, let me again tell you how honored and pleased we are to have you with us. I am sorry you did not receive any of our communications. However, this is understandable since your schedule takes you to all four corners of the world. For your information, there is a private dais reception from 6:30 to 7:30 PM in the Brentwood Room of the Century Plaza Hotel. Invitations have been issued only to those individuals who will be seated on the dais. Both you and Mrs. Rubinstein, of course, will be among our distinguished dais guests. I am enclosing the agenda for the evening. The actual programs will not be ready until Wednesday. This should provide the timing and sequence of our program. The eve­ ning is one in which you will be honored with the Scopus Award, the most coveted and prestigious award of the American Friends of the Hebrew University. I am also pleased to tell you that we were fortunate in securing for our musical program one of your protegees, Janina Fialkowska, whom we were fortunate to hear during our recent visit to Jerusalem this past summer. Her concert on November 2nd in Pasadena made it possible for her to be with us.

  • Explore Unknown Music with the Toccata Discovery Club
    Explore Unknown Music with the Toccata Discovery Club Since you’re reading this booklet, you’re obviously someone who likes to explore music more widely than the mainstream offerings of most other labels allow. Toccata Classics was set up explicitly to release recordings of music – from the Renaissance to the present day – that the microphones have been ignoring. How often have you heard a piece of music you didn’t know and wondered why it hadn’t been recorded before? Well, Toccata Classics aims to bring this kind of neglected treasure to the public waiting for the chance to hear it – from the major musical centres and from less-well-known cultures in northern and eastern Europe, from all the Americas, and from further afield: basically, if it’s good music and it hasn’t yet been recorded, Toccata Classics is exploring it. To link label and listener directly we run the Toccata Discovery Club, which brings its members substantial discounts on all Toccata Classics recordings, whether CDs or downloads, and also on the range of pioneering books on music published by its sister company, Toccata Press. A modest annual membership fee brings you, free on joining, two CDs, a Toccata Press book or a number of album downloads (so you are saving from the start) and opens up the entire Toccata Classics catalogue to you, both new recordings and existing releases as CDs or downloads, as you prefer. Frequent special offers bring further discounts. If you are interested in joining, please visit the Toccata Classics website at www.toccataclassics.com and click on the ‘Discovery Club’ tab for more details.

Gerber was born in 1948 in Washington, D.C. He received degrees from Haverford College and Princeton University; his composition teachers included Robert Parris, J. K. Randall, Earl Kim, and Milton Babbitt. The Washington Post called his Violin Concerto “a major addition to the con- temporary violin repertoire: lyrical, passionate, beautifully tailored to the instrument’s character and capabilities…Gerber has revived the spirit of romanticism in this work, with a strong sense of tonal melody and of the dramatic effects and surprises still possible in traditional forms...one of the year’s most memorable events.” And when Carter Brey premiered his Cello Concerto in 1996, the Washington Post said, “Gerber’s concerto seems to have what it takes to establish a foothold…. The music is composed with a fine sense of instrumental color…. Gerber has given his soloist some fine, expressive melodies.” Gerber’s music has been performed by orchestras and ensembles around the U.S. including the San Francisco Symphony, the National Philharmonic Orchestra, the Long Island Philharmonic, The Louisville Orchestra, the Omaha Symphony, and the Fine Arts and Amernet String Quartets, to name a few.
