Every one can play the JEW-IAN, but no two alike. Some play with more expression than others, even rendering Symphonies or Wagnerian Operas with better effect than the average orchestra. With an -EOLIAN in the home, the standard musical works are as available as the books of your library. In either case it is simply a question of reading or interpretation. DESCRIPTION IS USELESS. ONE MUST SEE THE IEOLIAN TO UNDERSTAND AND APPRECIATE IT. Mme. MELBA. "When I first heard of the iEOLIAN, I was unable to understand how a musical instrument requiring no technical knowledge on the part of the performer could be artistic from the musician's standpoint. I do not think it possible for any one to un- derstand it unless they do as I did,— see it and hear it played. I am sure that every one that does will join me in a hearty indorsement of your truly wonderful instrument."

"One of the most delightful treats we have given ourselves lately has been to p'ay the latest specimen of the Mason & Hamlin Upright, with the patented screw-stringer with which that house has now so many years been identified. We can unhesitatingly say, and say with pleasure, that this Upright is a marvellous piano; and it is the first unequivocal tribute we have ever paid to the Mason & Hamlin stringer, simply because we are now prepared to back our opinion with the piano itself. It is a matter of many years now, this discussion between Mason & Hamlin and the Musical Courier regarding the stringer ; and although that renowned firm has been a patron of our advertising space, as has been observed by our readers, we were not prepared to agree with it on this one debatable point. " But indefatigable work, experiment, and devotion to an idea and to a principle in which these people had confidence have finally brought forth a perfected line of these Uprights; and, as they prove to be most musical, attractive, artistic, and sympathetic Upright instruments of the highest order, there is nothing better the Mu- skal Courier can do than, metaphorically speaking, take off its hat and bow in recognition of the result at- tained. We heartily congratulate the Mason & Hamlin Company on its success, a success to which it is fully entitled after demonstrating that it had the power, the determination, and the inflexible courage of its own con- victions. No greater battle has ever been fought in the piano industry, nay, in any other industry ; and, now thatIllason&3 the company has gained it, the path ahead is sure to be oneamlin of glory." M. A.

It would be well worth giving here, could any known typography bring it within the compass of a page of this book ; but, as this is not possible, we must be content with a few summary statistics gathered from it. In six consecutive generations (from about 158o to 1846) the Bach family counts fifty professional musicians. Here is the list, arranged alphabeti- cally : * — Born. Died.

Persönlichkeiten wie Hans von Bülow, Johannes Brahms, Richard Strauss, Fritz Steinbach und Max Reger verankerten es in der europäischen Musikgeschichte und verhalfen ihm zu einem exzellenten Ruf unter Musikern, Musikinteressierten und Gelehrten. Doch die Musikgeschichte dieser Region lässt sich nicht allein auf das Werk einzelner Lichtgestalten reduzieren. Zu bedeutsam und nachhaltig sind die komplexen Verflechtungen, welche die als überlieferungswürdig angesehenen Höchstleistungen erst ermöglichten. Trotz der Bedeutung des Herzogtums für die europäische Musikgeschichte und einer erstaunlichen Quellendichte standen bislang immer nur bestimmte Aspekte im Blickpunkt der Forschung. Einzelne Musiker bzw. Ensembles oder zeitliche bzw. regionale Fragestellungen beleuchten die Monographien „Die Herzogliche Hofkapelle in Meiningen“ (Mühlfeld, Meiningen 1910), „Hildburghäuser Musiker“ (Ullrich, Hildburghausen 2003), „Musiker und Monarchen in Meiningen 1680–1763“ (Erck/Schneider, Meiningen 2006) oder „Der Brahms- Klarinettist Richard Mühlfeld“ (Goltz/Müller, Balve 2007).

  • Second Thoughts and Short Reviews: Autumn 2017-3
    SECOND THOUGHTS AND SHORT REVIEWS AUTUMN 2017/3 By Brian Wilson and Dan Morgan Reviews are by Brian Wilson except where signed [DM]. Autumn 2017/1 is here and Autumn 2017/2 here. As before, I must remind readers that preparing such a large review – especially large this time – carries the risk of incorrect catalogue numbers or purchase links, though I have tried to make the latter clearer than before. Please check before ordering. Some time ago I mentioned that trusty old Winamp, though it works with downloads in Windows 10, has not been updated for quite some time and that I had noticed occasional glitches. Recently I have been trying another free programme, MusicBee (https://getmusicbee.com/) and have found it to work well after a few initial problems. It does everything that Winamp does and adds the ability to display the artwork, if it’s included in the metadata – which isn’t always the case. An alternative would be MediaGo (http://mediago.sony.com/enu/download), actually designed to work with the high-res digital Sony Walkman, but a useful programme in itself and operating very much like MusicBee.

  • Resituating Transatlantic Opera: the Case of the Théâtre D'orléans, New
    Resituating Transatlantic Opera: The Case of the Théâtre d’Orléans, New Orleans, 1819–1859 Charlotte Alice Bentley Emmanuel College October 2017 This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy ABSTRACT This thesis examines the production and reception of French opera in New Orleans in the first half of the nineteenth century, through a focus on the city’s principal French-language theatre from 1819 to 1859, the Théâtre d’Orléans. Building on the small body of existing scholarship concerning the theatre’s history and repertoire, here I draw upon a greatly expanded range of sources—including court cases, sheet music, and novels—in order to understand more about the ways in which operatic culture shaped and was shaped by city life in this period. New Orleans’s operatic life relied on transatlantic networks of people and materials in order to thrive, and this thesis explores the city’s place within growing global operatic systems in the nineteenth century. The five chapters each reflect on different aspects of operatic translocation and its significance for New Orleans. The first two argue for the centrality of human agency to the development of transatlantic networks of production and performance by examining the management of the theatre and the international movement of singers in turn. Chapter 3 investigates the impact of French grand opéra on New Orleans, arguing that the genre provided a focus for the negotiation of local, national, and international identities among opposing critical (and linguistic) factions within the city, while also providing an impetus for the development of a material culture of opera.

  • The Bach Family There Has Never Been a Dynasty Like It! We Have
    The Bach Family There has never been a dynasty like it! We have Johann Sebastian Bach to thank for much of the Genealogy as well. In the region of Thuringia, the name of Bach was synonymous with music, but they were also a 'family' experiencing the ups and downs of 17th & 18th century life, from happy marriages and joyful family music-making in this devoutly Lutheran community to coping with infant mortality and dysfunctional behaviour. The Bach Family encountered the lot. In this page, we visit the lives of key members of this remarkable family, a family that was humble in its intent, served the community, were appropriately deferential to their various patrons or princes, and whose music lives on through our performances today. Joh. Seb. Bach's ancestors set the tone and musical direction, but this particular family member raised the bar higher in scale and invention. Sebastian taught his own sons too, plus many of the offspring of his relatives. His eldest sons Wilhelm Friedemann and Carl Philipp Emanuel certainly held their Father in high regard, but also wanted to plough their own furrow - not easy even then. Others either held church or court positions and one travelled first to Italy and then to Georgian London in order to ply his trade - Johann Christian Bach, the youngest son. The family's ancestry goes back to the late 16th/early 17th centuries to a certain Vitus (Veit) Bach (d.1619) who left his native Hungary and came to live in Wechmar, near Gotha in Thuringia. He was a baker by trade.
