Motywem przewodnim 33. krakowskiego Międzynarodowego Festiwalu kompozytorów są starożytne cywilizacje — w głównej mierze antyczna kultura grecji i Rzymu, ale nie zabraknie także innych odwołań, m.in. do południowoamerykańskiej kultury nazca. zabrzmią takie kompozycje, jak: Medea Fragments Toshio Hosokawy, Casandra’s Dream Song Briana Fer­ neyhougha, Ecotopia 4 Michaela gatonski, Głowa Meduzy Witolda Szalon­ ka, czy Cassiopee II Jacka domagały. Podczas festiwalu odbędą się dwie sesje naukowe: „antyczność w muzyce” oraz „Muzyka i natura” (przenie­ siona z ubiegłego roku), podczas których zaprezentują referaty wybitni teoretycy muzyki i muzykolodzy (Teresa Malecka, Jerzy Stankiewicz, Mag­ dalena dziadek, agnieszka draus, kinga kiwała, iwona Sowińska-Fruh­ trunk, dominika Micał i Jan Topolski). na 33. kMFk wystąpią znakomici muzycy: orkiestra Muzyki nowej pod dyrekcją Szymona Bywalca, alicja Molitorys, iwona glinka, athana­ sios Trikoupis, Łukasz długosz, agata kielar-długosz, adastra Piano Trio i wielu innych.

Tego­ roczne jury przyznało nagrodę główną utworowi A Horny Faun’s Rampage na orkiestrę kameralną kompozytora z korei Pd. Jongsunga oh (ur. 1987). nagrodzony utwór zostanie prawykonany podczas koncertu inaugurujące­ go festiwal w Filharmonii krakowskiej 10 kwietnia 2021 r. całości dopełnią dwa wykłady nawiązujące do antyku w twórczości kompozytorów współczesnych: iwony glinki oraz athanasiosa Trikoupisa z Uniwersytetu w Janinie w grecji. Podczas koncertów prezentowana będzie twórczość kompozytorów z Pol­ ski, anglii, chin, grecji, Japonii, niemiec, Ukrainy, Włoch i USa.

Marcel Chyrzyński Dyrektor generalny i artystyczny 4 ladies and gentlemen! The main theme of the 33rd krakow international Festival of composers are ancient civilizations — mainly the ancient culture of greece and Rome, but there will also be other references, including the South american culture of nazca. We will hear such compositions as Toshio Hosokawa’s Medea Frag- ments, Brian Ferneyhough’s Casandra’s Dream Song, Michael gatonska’s Ecotopia 4, Witold Szalonek’s Głowa Meduzy, and Jacek domagała’s Cas- siopee II. Two scientific sessions will be held during the festival: “antiquity in Music” and “Music and nature” (at first planned for last year), during which outstanding music theorists and musicologists will present their pa­ pers (Teresa Malecka, Jerzy Stankiewicz, Magdalena dziadek, agnieszka draus, kinga kiwała, iwona Sowińska-Fruhtrunk, dominika Micał and Jan Topolski). The 33rd Festival will feature outstanding musicians: ensemble oMn conducted by Szymon Bywalec, alicja Molitorys, iwona glinka, athanasios Trikoupis, Łukasz długosz, agata kielar-długosz, adastra Piano Trio and many others. Traditionally, we will also hear an Electronic Cocktail, a pres­ entation of the electroacoustic Music Studio at the krzysztof Pende recki academy of Music in krakow. an important part of the festival program is the 4th krzysztof Penderecki international competition for Young composers. This year’s jury awarded the main prize to A Horny Faun’s Rampage for chamber orchestra by South korean composer Jongsung oh (b. 1987). The award-winning piece will be premiered at the festival’s opening concert at the krakow Philharmonic on 10 april 2021. The entire event will be complemented by two lectures referring to an­ tiquity in the works of contemporary composers: by iwona glinka and athanasios Trikoupis from the University of ioannina in greece. The concerts will feature works by composers from Poland, england, china, greece, Japan, germany, Ukraine, italy, and the USa. You will hear 23 world premieres and one Polish premiere. For epidemiological reasons, all events will be held without the partici­ pation of the audience; they will be streamed online on our official YouTube channel (krakow international Festival of composers), and one of the con­ certs will be broadcast from Patras, greece.

  • 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. Bukofzer, Music in the Baroque Era. From Monteverdi to Bach, New York 1947: 318– –319. 83 Piotr Wilk leading, and that for works where a soloist is not called for, the term ‘orchestral concerto’ should rather be used.

Master of Music (Theory), August, 1995, 86 pp., 22 examples, 5 figures, bibliography, 122 titles. This thesis presents an analysis of Copland's first major serial work, the Quartet for Piano and Strings (1950), using pitch-class set theory and tonal analytical techniques. The first chapter introduces Copland's Piano Quartet in its historical context and considers major influences on his compositional development. The second chapter takes up a pitch-class set approach to the work, emphasizing the role played by the eleven-tone row in determining salient pc sets. Chapter Three re-examines many of these same passages from the viewpoint of tonal referentiality, considering how Copland is able to evoke tonal gestures within a structural context governed by pc-set relationships. The fourth chapter will reflect on the dialectic that is played out in this work between pc-sets and tonal elements, and considers the strengths and weaknesses of various analytical approaches to the work.

The HIGH BAROQUE:!

  • Rachmaninoff's Early Piano Works and the Traces of Chopin's Influence
    Rachmaninoff’s Early Piano works and the Traces of Chopin’s Influence: The Morceaux de Fantaisie, Op.3 & The Moments Musicaux, Op.16 A document submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in the Division of Keyboard Studies of the College-Conservatory of Music by Sanghie Lee P.D., Indiana University, 2011 B.M., M.M., Yonsei University, Korea, 2007 Committee Chair: Jonathan Kregor, Ph.D. Abstract This document examines two of Sergei Rachmaninoff’s early piano works, Morceaux de Fantaisie, Op.3 (1892) and Moments Musicaux, Opus 16 (1896), as they relate to the piano works of Frédéric Chopin. The five short pieces that comprise Morceaux de Fantaisie and the six Moments Musicaux are reminiscent of many of Chopin’s piano works; even as the sets broadly build on his character genres such as the nocturne, barcarolle, etude, prelude, waltz, and berceuse, they also frequently are modeled on or reference specific Chopin pieces. This document identifies how Rachmaninoff’s sets specifically and generally show the influence of Chopin’s style and works, while exploring how Rachmaninoff used Chopin’s models to create and present his unique compositional identity. Through this investigation, performers can better understand Chopin’s influence on Rachmaninoff’s piano works, and therefore improve their interpretations of his music. ii Copyright © 2018 by Sanghie Lee All rights reserved iii Acknowledgements I cannot express my heartfelt gratitude enough to my dear teacher James Tocco, who gave me devoted guidance and inspirational teaching for years.

  • The Vienna Piano Trio (March 9) by Nicholas Jones
    Rocky River Chamber Music Society: The Vienna Piano Trio (March 9) by Nicholas Jones The Vienna Piano Trio’s program at West Shore Unitarian seemed traditional at first glance, but looks are deceptive. This well- respected group (now 25 years old, though with some changes of personnel over the years) specializes in the familiar classical repertoire of Austria and Germany, and last night was no exception — Beethoven, Brahms, and Schoenberg. But both the performances and the pieces themselves were full of surprises. Beethoven was represented by the quirky “Kakadu” variations. It took a Beethoven to make the slightest of material — a trivial popular song (“I am the tailor Cockatoo”) — into a technically demanding set of variations. Full of the composer’s typical contrasts, these variations provided excellent ground for musical acrobatics by these very accomplished instrumentalists — pianist Stefan Mendl, cellist Matthias Gredler, and (the newest member of the group) violinist Bogdan Božović. The Vienna players made the most of opportunities for excitement: all froth at one moment, and Sturm und Drang the next! But the surprises went further than mere showmanship: Beethoven bookended his show-off variations with significantly more profound writing — a beautiful extended Adagio at the start, and a matching variation near the end — and the performers took us into that seriousness as well as the fun. The Vienna Trio painted its sound with rich, contrasting colors, booming with Beethovenian ferocity when called for, and then, in an instant, pulling back to the kind of delicate intensity that stimulates the ear even more than volume. Playing with flexibility and panache, they brought to the music the kind of togetherness that comes from being a dedicated ensemble, not just an ad hoc collection of three excellent musicians.
