    Journal of Science and Arts Supplement at No. 2(13), pp. 157-161, 2010 THE CLARINET IN THE CHAMBER MUSIC OF THE 20TH CENTURY FELIX CONSTANTIN GOLDBACH Valahia University of Targoviste, Faculty of Science and Arts, Arts Department, 130024, Targoviste, Romania Abstract. The beginning of the 20th century lay under the sign of the economic crises, caused by the great World Wars. Along with them came state reorganizations and political divisions. The most cruel realism, of the unimaginable disasters, culminating with the nuclear bombs, replaced, to a significant extent, the European romanticism and affected the cultural environment, modifying viewpoints, ideals, spiritual and philosophical values, artistic domains. The art of the sounds developed, being supported as well by the multiple possibilities of recording and world distribution, generated by the inventions of this epoch, an excessively technical one, the most important ones being the cinema, the radio, the television and the recordings – electronic or on tape – of the creations and interpretations. Keywords: chamber music of the 20th century, musical styles, cultural tradition. 1. INTRODUCTION Despite all the vicissitudes, music continued to ennoble the human souls. The study of the instruments’ construction features, of the concert halls, the investigation of the sound and the quality of the recordings supported the formation of a series of high-quality performers and the attainment of high performance levels. The international contests organized on instruments led to a selection of the values of the interpretative art. So, the exceptional professional players are no longer rarities. 2. DISCUSSIONS The economic development of the United States of America after the two World Wars, the cultural continuity in countries with tradition, such as England and France, the fast restoration of the West European states, including Germany, represented conditions that allowed the flourishing of musical education.

  • Do You Believe in Heather? an Energizing Vitality
    Ståle Kleiberg is often called a “modern romantic”, and for good reason. We encounter a distinctive and highly individual alloy of modern and romantic elements in his music, whether it is characterized by a still, meditative lyricism or Do You Believe in Heather? an energizing vitality. His String Quartet no. 3 encompasses this entire range of — chamber music by Ståle Kleiberg expression. The music speaks of summer. It is imbued with joie de vivre, and was composed with a full command of the genre and with considerable virtuosity. The flute-viola-harp ensemble is less common, but by no means unknown. Following Debussy’s Sonata, several trios have been composed for this ensemble, and Kleiberg’s Trio Luna is a fine and most welcome addition. The work’s three movements capture the mood of three dissimilar outer and inner landscapes, all of them bathed in moonlight, albeit at different times of day and night. The Light Smith is also a trio; it is a song cycle for mezzo-soprano, clarinet and piano, and is chamber music on a very high level of inspiration. Both The Light Smith and Do You Believe in Heather? are settings of poetry by the distinguished Norwegian poet Helge Torvund. These poems engage with such archetypal themes as light, quietude, love, death and nature, but they treat these themes as real, everyday experiences, rather than abstract concepts. While the theme of The Light Smith centres on the beginnings, growth and culmination of life, it is autumn and winter we meet in Do You Believe in Heather?

  • Gustav Mahler Symphonie N° 6 « Tragique »
    MARDI 27 AVRIL – 20H Ludwig van Beethoven Concerto pour piano n° 5 « L’Empereur » entracte Gustav Mahler Symphonie n° 6 « Tragique » Orchestre Symphonique de la Radio Suédoise Daniel Harding, direction Nicholas Angelich, piano Fin du concert vers 22h20. 2704 ANGELICH A5.indd 1 27/04/10 14:42 Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827) Concerto pour piano et orchestre n° 5 en mi bémol majeur op. 73 « L’Empereur » Allegro Adagio un poco mosso Rondo. Allegro ma non troppo Composition : 1809. Création : le 28 novembre 1811 à Leipzig par Johann Schneider. Effectif : 1 flûte, 2 hautbois, 2 clarinettes, 2 bassons – 2 cors, 2 trompettes – timbales – cordes – piano solo. Durée : environ 40 minutes. Le dernier et le plus célèbre des concertos beethovéniens pour piano a été surnommé L’Empereur, sans doute par J. B. Cramer, et après la mort du compositeur ; probablement a-t-il voulu souligner la grandeur de l’ouvrage. En réalité, on sait que Beethoven n’aimait pas trop les têtes couronnées, et ce n’est certainement pas à Napoléon qu’il adressait son concerto : il a même dû en interrompre l’écriture à cause des bombardements français qui pleuvaient sur Vienne. Tapi au fond d’une cave avec des coussins sur la tête, le maître maugréait contre l’envahisseur : « Dommage que je ne sois pas aussi fort en stratégie qu’en musique : je le battrais ! » Bien que sur ses esquisses le compositeur ait noté : « Chant de triomphe pour le combat ! Attaque ! Victoire ! », ce concerto ne présente pratiquement aucun trait militaire ; il brille plutôt par son autorité naturelle, qui en fait le chef de file des concertos romantiques à venir.

  • Sesongprogram 2017−2018
    Oslo Filharmonien −+ Sesongen 2017–2018 Høytid – hver uke 2016 ble nok et år med billettsalgsrekord for Oslo-Filharmonien. Onsdagsserien «Kort og klassisk» (én-times konserter uten pause) har størst økning og treffer særlig mange av dem som liker å gå alene på konsert, eller som bare ønsker litt musikalsk påfyll på vei hjem fra jobb. Men mangfoldet i opplevelsene vi tilbyr når i det hele tatt stadig flere publikumsgrupper. «Målet er at barna skal trygle om å få gå på klassisk konsert», sa Sigurd Slåttebrekk til Aftenposten, da prosjektet Musikkfabrikken ble lansert i 2015. Slåttebrekk, som både er klassisk konsertpianist © Trygve Indrelid og barne-tv-skaper, har laget en av sesongens familieforestillinger sammen med orkestret, med det digitale universet som en integrert del. Premieren i oktober 2017 er intet mindre enn en musikalsk oppdagelsesferd for barn. Opplev også en av verdens mest enestående pianister, Leif Ove Andsnes, ikke bare i én produksjon, men som sesongens artist med tre produksjoner, samlet i et eget abonnement. Fordyp deg i Schumanns fantastiske musikk i vår egen Schumann-festival, og opplev mektige symfonier, splitter nye verk og storslåtte kor- produksjoner i Oslo Konserthus, samt lekne kammerkonserter på Munchmuseet. Mange har som tradisjon at de feirer høytidene sammen med Oslo-Filharmonien. Billettene til jule-, nyttårs- og påske- konsertene rives bort. Men opplevelser som løfter, utfordrer og inspirerer kan nytes mye oftere enn dét. Ja, hvorfor ikke unne deg et par timers høytid – hver uke? Velkommen til Oslo-Filharmoniens 98. sesong! Ingrid Røynesdal Administrende direktør 3 Star Wars S. 27 Vi feirer filmhistoriens mektigste og mest berømte lydspor live og med fullt symfoniorkester.
