    EWEARL WILD In Concert 1973-1987 EARL WILD EWIn Concert The live recording gives the illusion of “actually being there.” It’s an experience that is not always assured in a recording studio, at which no audience is allowed. In one sense, a performance in a studio is a contradic- tion in terms. Like the proverbial tree falling in the forest: did it even exist if it wasn’t heard? There is a beguiling honesty about the live recording. A live-recording boom in the early 1970s, when the first wave of bat- tery-operated recorders emerged, enabled enthusiasts to record everything from passing trains, rivers, and parades, to grandpa snoring and cicadas courting. With similar devices musicologists have been able to record on-site countless forms of impromptu and improvisational folk music and instru- mental performances. Harvard University, for example, houses the Archive of World Music, which holds vast field recordings of, among other things, Indian and Turkish music, Chinese and Bulgarian songs, Byzantine and Orthodox music, Indonesian music, and male polyphony from Iceland. The archive ensures easy access to live music at distant times and places. – 3 – The growing interest in live recordings of historic performances has become a sign of our own times. The legacy of the bel canto revival of the 1950s and 1960s, for instance, has been preserved for modern audiences through the remarkable live recordings of singers like Maria Callas, Montserrat Caballe, Beverly Sills, Joan Sutherland, and Leyla Gencer. Likewise, all of Mr. Wild’s performances on this disc are worthy of “historic preservation.” In a real sense, no live recording can replace the actual experience.

  • Piano Transcriptions: Earl Wild's Virtuoso Etudes on Gershwin's Songs
    Piano Transcriptions: Earl Wild's Virtuoso Etudes on Gershwin's Songs by Yun-Ling Hsu, D.M.A. Contact Email: [email protected] American pianist and composer Earl Wild (1915-2010) has been described as “one of the last in a long line of great virtuoso pianists/composers,” “one of the 20th century's greatest pianists, and “the finest transcriber of our time.” He transcribed seven George Gershwin’s popular songs: “1 Got Rhythm,” “Fascinating Rhythm,” “The Man I Love,” “Embraceable You,” “Oh, Lady, Be Good!,” “Liza,” and “Somebody Loves Me” as piano solo transcriptions entitled Seven Virtuoso Etudes. Because of my interest in the art of transcription, it has become my goal to discover more unique piano repertoire of transcription and reveal the nuances of the work in my practice and performance. While pursuing degrees in piano at the School of Music of The Ohio State University, I was extremely fortunate to study piano with Mr. Wild who was an Artist-In-Residence. In a faculty recital he performed three of his virtuoso etudes, “Liza,” “Somebody Loves Me,” and “I Got Rhythm.” These beautiful and clever etudes immediately drew my attention. Later I studied some of these etudes with him and performed in recitals over the years. The focus of this study is on the selected four of Earl Wild’s Seven Virtuoso Etudes- transcriptions based upon the following Gershwin’s songs: 1. “Embraceable You” 2. “The Man I Love” 3. “Fascinating Rhythm” 4. “I Got Rhythm” A brief overall transcriptional background, characteristics, a detailed examination of piano technique specifically on these four etudes, as well as a pre-recorded live performance can be heard at this YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqxJALvcaf8 Background and Characteristics of the Transcriptions Besides concertizing, Wild was also interested in composing and transcribing.

He is fondly known as lithe father ofthe symphony" and could with greaterjustice be thus regarded for the string quartet. No other composer approaches his combination ofproductivity, quality and historical importance for these genres. James Webster, The New Grove Haydn, 2002 The quantity of just aportion of Haydn's compositions, over 100 symphonies and over 60 piano sonatas, is staggering to contemplate when we realize that this is but afraction of his complete works! Haydn wrote with aluminOSity of intent and aclarity of craft which inspires us to this day. Part of his genius was the ability to develop large, sprawling structures out of very short motifs. Beethoven learned valuable lessons from this, for sure! The little GMajor sonata offered here, almost more of adivertimento, is aconsummate example ofthis masterful motivic manipulation.

  • Wild About Wild: a Tribute to Earl Wild (1915-2010) & George Gershwin (1898-1937) with Earl Wild's Death on January 23, 2
    Wild About Wild: A Tribute to Earl Wild (1915-2010) & George Gershwin (1898-1937) With Earl Wild’s death on January 23, 2010 at the age of 95, the world lost one of its legendary pianists, famous for his unique style that encompassed many influences both classical and popular. He will be remembered as one of the great interpreters of Liszt, Rachmaninoff, and most significantly, George Gershwin. Nor will his unmatchable piano technique be forgotten. This technique persisted through his 85th birthday recital at Carnegie Hall and to his final recital in February 2008, at the age of 95, in the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles. His White House performances for six consecutive presidents, beginning with Herbert Hoover, also point to his long-standing reputation as a pianist and a personality. Not to be overlooked are Wild’s accomplishments as a composer. His Grand Fantasy on Porgy and Bess, his Seven Virtuoso Etudes, and his Improvisations on “Someone to Watch over Me,” all based on the music of George Gershwin, reveal his life-long interest in that American musical idol as well as his own compositional genius. Wild’s Piano Sonata (2000) sheds even more light on his remarkable abilities as a composer. Born on November 26, 1915, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Earl Wild began piano studies at the age of three. Before his twelfth birthday, he was accepted as a pupil of Selmar Janson, whose teachers were Xaver Scharwenka and Eugen d’Albert, a student of Franz Liszt. Mr. Wild went on to study with the great Dutch pianist, Egon Petri.

    Earl Wild Goes To The Movies Music by Rodgers/Wild, Rózsa, Liszt, Chopin, Steiner, and Mozart Music on the screen can seek out and intensify the inner thoughts of the characters. It can invest a scene with terror, grandeur, gaiety or misery. It often lifts mere dialogue into the realm of poetry. It is the communicating link between screen and audience, reaching out and enveloping all into one single experience. — Bernard Herrmann Although it can be argued that music written for films serves a utilitarian or cos- metic role – largely as continuity or support of the visual – there is much film music that outlives the film it was written for. As the history of film has evolved, so has the history of film music. From the primitive days of pianistic improvisation for silent cinema to today’s extraordinary and complex scores, audiences have been regaled by musical creativity of astonishing proportions. Some of the greatest classical com- posers wrote film scores – Sergei Prokofiev, Ralph Vaughan Williams, William Walton, Dmitri Shostakovich, Aram Khachaturian, Arthur Honegger, Toru Takemitsu, Virgil Thomson, Darius Milhaud and Aaron Copland. Hollywood also created a sta- tus and prestige to film composing, generating a formidable group of musicians who are largely know today for their extraordinary cinematic scores. These include Erich Wolfgang Korngold, Alfred Newman, Franz Waxman, Dimitri Tiomkin, Bernard Herrmann, Alex North, Elmer Bernstein, Leonard Rosenman, Roy Webb, Max Steiner and Miklós Rózsa. In most cases, these composers lived a double life – their Hollywood or cinematic career, and their concert hall and stage career, creating music in both arenas.
