    Sibelius in the Context of the Finnish-German History Veijo Murtomäki Introduction The life and career of a composer cannot be considered as an isolated case without taking into account the wider context. The history of ideas and ideologies is always part of any serious enquiry into an artist’s personal history. Therefore we must bear in mind at least four points when considering the actions of artist and his or her country. Firstly, as the eminent Finnish historian Matti Klinge has observed, "the biggest challenge for understanding history is trying to situate oneself in the preconditions of the time-period under scrutiny while remembering that it did not know what the posterity knows."[1] Writing history is not primarily a task whereby the historian provides lines for actors to speak, but rather is an attempt to understand and explain why something happened, and to construct a context including all of the possible factors involved in a certain historical process. Secondly, supporting (or not opposing) an ideology prevailing at a certain time does not mean that the supporter (or non-opponent) is committing a crime. We could easily condemn half of the European intellectuals for supporting Fascism, Nazism, Communism or Maoism, or just for having become too easily attracted by these – in their mind – fascinating, visionary ideologies to shape European or world history. Thirdly, history has always been written by the winners – and thus, historiography tends to be distorted by exaggerating the evil of the enemy and the goodness of the victor. A moral verdict must be reached when we are dealing with absolute evil, but it is rare to find exclusively good or bad persons or civilizations; therefore history is rarely an issue of black and white.

  • Interpreting Tempo and Rubato in Chopin's Music
    Interpreting tempo and rubato in Chopin’s music: A matter of tradition or individual style? Li-San Ting A thesis in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of New South Wales School of the Arts and Media Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences June 2013 ABSTRACT The main goal of this thesis is to gain a greater understanding of Chopin performance and interpretation, particularly in relation to tempo and rubato. This thesis is a comparative study between pianists who are associated with the Chopin tradition, primarily the Polish pianists of the early twentieth century, along with French pianists who are connected to Chopin via pedagogical lineage, and several modern pianists playing on period instruments. Through a detailed analysis of tempo and rubato in selected recordings, this thesis will explore the notions of tradition and individuality in Chopin playing, based on principles of pianism and pedagogy that emerge in Chopin’s writings, his composition, and his students’ accounts. Many pianists and teachers assume that a tradition in playing Chopin exists but the basis for this notion is often not made clear. Certain pianists are considered part of the Chopin tradition because of their indirect pedagogical connection to Chopin. I will investigate claims about tradition in Chopin playing in relation to tempo and rubato and highlight similarities and differences in the playing of pianists of the same or different nationality, pedagogical line or era. I will reveal how the literature on Chopin’s principles regarding tempo and rubato relates to any common or unique traits found in selected recordings.

Tiesin etukäteen Ojanperän olleen kanttori ja laulunopettaja. Kiinnostuin aiheesta, kun kotikunnallani järjestettiin suuri oopperaprojekti, Abrahamin pidot. Aihe on alkanut kiinnostamaan minua yhä enemmän, kun olen saanut selville tietoja Abraham Ojanperästä. Kerron ensin Ojanperän eri elämänvaiheista, hänen opiskelustaan ja urasta musiikin parissa kanttorina ja laulunopettajana. Sen jälkeen tutkin Ojanperän yhteyksiä aikansa säveltäjiin ja muihin muusikkoihin, erityisesti kirkkomuusikoihin. Etsin myös tietoa Ojanperän lauluoppilaista. Tutkin työssäni, onko Ojanperä myötävaikuttanut suomalaisen, suomenkielisen kirkkomusiikin syntymiseen tai julkaisemiseen, ja minkälaisia vaikutuksia suomalaiseen musiikkikulttuuriin hänellä on ollut. Työssäni käytän lähteenä Anna-Maija Näsäsen kirjoittamaa teosta Abraham Ojanperä, laulajan elämä, Iikka Niemelän lukuisia kirjoituksia Ojanperän elämään liittyen sekä erilaisia lehtiartikkeleita ja muita lyhyempiä tekstejä, jotka löysin Limingan kirjaston arkistokansiosta. Ojanperästä on kirjoitettu melko vähän. Sibelius-Akatemiassa

  • Magda Tagliaferro (1893-1986) a Discography1
    MAGDA TAGLIAFERRO (1893-1986) A DISCOGRAPHY1 By Philippe Rougier The pianistic career of Magda Tagliaferro was one of the longest, spanning more than eighty years-from her first public concert in 1902 in Sao Paulo to her last in Brasilia in 1985. Born of French parents near Rio de Janeiro, she divided her life between Brazil and France and she held both citizenships. She received first prize in piano at the Conservatoire National in Paris when she was fourteen. There she became acquainted with the director, Gabriel Faure, who around 1908 chose her to perform several of his works with him on tour. She was the protegee of the Cortot-Thibaud-Casals trio and worked regularly with her "venerated master," Alfred Cortot, whose musical aesthetics she adopted and perpetuated throughout her life. Prior to World War II, she lived in Paris and enjoyed a very brilliant career embracing Europe and South America, playing with conductors such as Furtwaengler, Weingartner, Ansermet, Munch, Paray and others. She was an activist for French music abroad and championed the contemporary composers that she had known personally: Prokofief, d'Indy (she performed his Symphonie sur un Chant montagnard under his baton), Ravel, Poulenc, Roussel, Schmitt, Falla, Albeniz, and others. She premiered or was the dedicatee of many works, including pieces for piano and orchestra by Heitor Villa-Lobos, Reynaldo Hahn, Georges Dandelot, Daniele Amfitheatrof; and solo pieces by Migot, Rivier, Pierne, Rosenthal, Inghelbrecht, and Mignone, among others. Mme. Tagliaferro also played an important role as a pedagogue. She was appointed professor at the Paris Conservatoire in 1937, remaining until the war, and founded a school in Paris and two more in Brazil (the Escola Magda Tagliaferro still exists in Sao Paulo) where she lived from 1940 until 1949.

Premiered by Anne Sofie von Otter on 6th December 2015 Anne Sofie von Otter, mezzo-soprano Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra Hannu Lintu, conductor 3 Jean Sibelius (1865–1957) is appreciated first and foremost as a composer of symphonies, but he was equally ambitious and productive in writing tone poems. In fact, his single-movement Seventh Symphony Op. 105 (1924) and the tone poem Tapiola Op. 112 (1926) demonstrate just how close these two genres came to merging in his output. Tone poems linked Sibelius to the radical Romantic composers of the 19th century: programme music allowed composers to expand their musical idiom and to break out of the bounds of formal structures.
