Ludwig van Beethoven (Bom at Bonn, December 16 (?), 1770; died at Vienna, March 26, 1827.) ' The original manuscript of the overture bears this inscription : ' Over- tura (zum Trauerspiel Coriolan) composta da h. v. Beethoven, 1807." The words in parenthesis are crossed out. The overture was pubHshed in 1808: "Ouverture de Coriolan, Tragedie de M. de Collin, etc., com- posee et dediee k Monsieur de Collin, etc." The other compositions of 1807 were the first Mass in C, the overture to "I^eonore-Fidelio," No, I, which was published as Op. 138, the Fifth Symphony, the ariette, "In questa tomba," the violin concerto changed into a piano- forte concerto, and probably the 'cello sonata, Op. 69. The tragedy by Heinrich Joseph von Collin was produced November 24, 1802, with entr'actes arranged from Mozart's music to "Idomeneo" by the Abb6 Stadler. It was afterward revived with Lange as the hero and played often until March 3, 1805. From that date to the end of October, 1809, there was only one performance of the tragedy, and that was on April 24, 1807, Thayer concludes that the overture was not written for this performance, because the overture had been played at two concerts in March. These concerts were at the palace of Prince Lobkowitz in Vienna, and only pieces by Beethoven were performed, the first four symphonies, the "Coriolanus" overture, a pianoforte con- certo, and airs from "Fidelio." The overture was criticised most favorably in the Journal des Luxus und der Moden and Cotta's Mor- genblatt as a "new work."

Thayer adds: "How nobly Beethoven comprehended the character of Coriolanus has long been known; but how wonderfully the overture fits in the play can be judged properly only by those who have read ' Collin's nearly forgotten play," and he says in a footnote : 'The author, from boyhood a reader of Shakespeare's 'Coriolanus,' remembers well the dissatisfaction he experienced when he first heard Beethoven's overture; it did not seem to him to fit the subject. When he read Collin's play, his discontent turned into wonder." Beethoven knew the Coriolanus presented by Plutarch as well as the Coriolanus of Shakespeare and von Collin. One might say that the character of Coriolanus was in certain ways sympathetic to him; and some may wonder at Thayer's dissatisfaction. Wagner had no thought of von Collin, when he wrote: "If we recall to mind the impression made upon us by the figure of Coriolanus in Shakespeare's drama, and from all the details of the complicated plot first single that which lingered with us through its bearing on the principal charater, we shall see one solitary shape loom forth: the defiant Coriolanus in conflict with his inmost voice, that voice which only speaks the more unsilenceably when issuing from his mother's mouth ; and of the dramatic development there will remain but that voice's victory over pride, the breaking of the stubbornness of a nature strong beyond all bounds. For his drama Beethoven chooses nothing but these two chief motives, which make us feel more CHAMBER MUSIC NEW BOOKS ON MUSIC By Arthur Foote JOSEF HOFFMAN Piano Playing $075 EDWIN EVANS Op. 4.

Then if we devoutly follow the movement developing ^olel}^ from the opposition of these two motives in strict accordance with their musical character, and allow in turn the purely musical detail to work upon us—the lights and shades, the meetings and paftings of these two motives—we shall at like time be following the course of a drama whose own peculiar method of expression embraces all that held our interest, the complex plot and clash of minor characters, in the acted work of the playwright. What gripped us there as an action set immediately before us, almost lived through by ourselves, we here receive as inmost kernel of that action; there set forth by characters with all the might of nature-forces, it is here just as sharply limned by the musician's motives, identical in inmost essence with the motives at work in those characters."

Through this passage of time many changes have been made in the original design. The early instruments shown in drawings on the tomb of Rameses II (1292-1225 B.C.) were richly decorated but lacked the fore-pillar. Later the "Kinner" developed by the Hebrews took the form as we know it today. The pedal harp was invented about 1720 by a Bavarian named Hochbrucker and through this ingenious device it be- came possible to play in eight major and five minor scales complete. Today the harp is an important and familiar instrument providing the "Exquisite Sound" and special effects so important to modern orchestration and arrange- ment.

Written for the same three violins and bass line as the Canon, the Gigue is a great palate cleanser after the endless repetitions of the Canon progression. Imitative, but not canonic, it is a joyful little dance with an active bass line that’s fun for everyone. The third violin part does not require notes on the E string, and therefore could be played by violas reading treble clef. Very short (two Baroque halves, each repeated), each half builds to a rhythmic climax, showcasing the brilliance which an upper intermediate group can achieve.

  • THE VIOLIN MUSIC of ARTHUR FOOTE 80464-2 Kevin Lawrence, Violin Eric Larsen, Piano
    The Violin Music of New World Records 80464 ARTHUR FOOTE Arthur William Foote (1853-1937) was born in Salem, Massachusetts, and lived all of his adult life in Boston. During his lifetime he was nationally acclaimed as a keyboard performer (he was organist at Church of the Disciples in Boston from 1878-1910), educator (he taught at the New England Conservatory from 1920-1937), and composer, and what is more, was one of the earliest American composers to win international recognition. Assuredly, he was one of the most important American musical artists of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. In the last two decades of the twentieth century, a new appreciation of the high quality of his creations has been steadily growing. His parents were descended from old New England families. Arthur's father, Caleb Foote, the son of a sea captain, was orphaned early in life, grew up in poverty and without an education, but eventually by his own efforts acquired learning and became editor and owner of one of New England's oldest newspapers, the Salem Gazette. His determination to succeed against all obstacles, his continuing modesty about his abilities, and his unpretentiousness despite the wide recognition his achievements received are qualities that his son inherited. Arthur Foote was the first prominent American composer totally educated in America. After beginning lessons in piano playing with Fanny Paine (no relation to John Knowles Paine) in Salem, he studied theory with Stephen Emery at the New England Conservatory, keyboard playing with B. J. Lang, Boston's eminent choral director and pianist, and composition with the highly respected John Knowles Paine at Harvard, where he earned the first M.A.

  • Concerts of Minnesota Composers, 1889-1935, and Other Related Events a Chronology
    Minnesota Musicians Archival Studies Concerts ofMinnesota Composers, 1889-1935, and other related events A Chronology Robert Tallant Laudon Prof. Emeritus ofMusicology University ofMinnesota 924 - 18th Ave. SE Minneapolis, MN 55414 (612) 331-2710 [email protected] 2001 This chronology springs from my research as author of Minnesota Music Teachers Association, the Profession and the Community, 1901-2000 (Eden Prairie, MN, by the association, 2000), which the quarterly Minnesota History has called more than an organizational history but a book that shows how talented and dedicated musicians, music teachers, and music lovers worked to build 'the musical Gibraltar of the Great Northwest'... and helps to explain Minnesota's prominent place on the nation's musical map." The composers are those that I am calling the First School of Minnesota Composition extending primarily from the 1890s to 1930, a group strongly influenced by German style and tradition, frequently writers of music for church and occasionally for light entertainment, most in the style of the Boston Group such as John Knowles Paine, Horatio Parker, and George W. Chadwick and others strongly influenced by the German Conservatories founded in the decades of the 1840s to the 1860s, hosts to numerous Americans in the 1880s and beyond. The music of this East Coast Group has not found an active place in the concert repertory of our symphonies who still prefer to repeat over and over the works of the greatest European masters, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Schumann, and Brahms. The Minnesota group has met the same fate. Yet the sincere efforts of a devoted group representing the taste of several generations of society deserve a place perhaps only in history but perhaps also to serve as contrasts to the Second School ofMinnesota Composition that began with the Modern Music movement ofthe 1920s and the Third School of Minnesota Composition that began with the establishment of the Minnesota Composer's Forum (now the American Composer's Forum) in 1973.

  • LINER NOTES Recorded Anthology of American Music, Inc
    BEACH, FOOTE, FARWELL, OREM New World Records 80542 The "Indianist" Movement in American Music by Gilbert Chase The "Indianist" movement in American musical composition that flourished from the 1880s to the 1920s had its antecedents in nineteenth-century Romanticism, with its cult of “the noble savage" nourished by such writers as Chateaubriand, James Fenimore Cooper, and Longfellow, whose Hiawatha was like a magnet for many musicians. On the stage, the famous actor Edwin Forrest starred in the drama Metamora (1828) as "the noble Indian chief," who leads his warriors in a desperate struggle for freedom—"Our Lands! Our Nation's Freedom!—Or the Grave." Romantic writers tended to identify the Indian with the grandeur of Nature. Chateaubriand, a Frenchman, in his novel of the "noble savage" Atala gushed on "the soul's delight to lose itself amidst the wild sublimities of Nature." Such writers often lost their heads but seldom risked their lives. The American wilderness, viewed as untamed, primitive, exotic, lured not only explorers and adventurers hut also scientists, artists, poets, novelists—and at least one musician who came to know at first hand "the magnificent wilds of Kentucky" about which Chateaubriand rhapsodized. This venturesome musician was Anthony Philip Heinrich (1781–1861), a native of Bohemia who emigrated to America in 1810. From 1817 to 1823 he lived in and around Lexington, Kentucky, calling himself "the Wildwood Troubador." According to a contemporary account: Heinrich passed several years of his life among the Indians that once inhabited Kentucky, and many of his compositions refer to these aboriginal companions. He is a species of musical Catlin, painting his dusky friends on the music staff instead of on the canvas, and composing laments, symphonies, dirges, and on the most intensely Indian subjects.

Several speakers have dealt with various aspects of popular music and its genres; I will concentrate on certain areas of the "cultivated" tradition, the kind of music we play in tuxedos-as Bruno Nettl describes it-the music in which I have been most directly involved. It is important first of all to recognize the role music librarians have already played in furthering the cause. To a large degree, music librarians, beginning with Oscar Sonneck, created the subdiscipline of American music. They have led the way by collecting material, organizing it, and informing the rest of us of its existence.

These artists include Sergei Rachmaninoff, Marian Anderson, Percy Grainger, Igor Stravinsky, Jose Iturbi, Winifred Christie, Pablo Casals, Amelita Galli-Curci, Nelson Eddy, Dorothy Maynor, Walter Damrosch and the New York Symphony Orchestra, Todd Duncan, Marilyn Horne, Bidu Sayão, Teresa Carreño, Artur Rubenstein, and many, many others.
