Symphony in A major, No. 4, "Italian," Op. 90. Heux Mkndelssohn-Bartholdy. (Horn at Hamburg, P>bruary 3, 1809; died at T.eipsic, November 4, 1847.) Mendelssohn wrote from Rome in December, 1830: "As for my work, I am fully occtipied. The 'Hebrides' is done al last, and is a curious thing. For Christmas I projjosc to write Luther's choral, 'Vom Himmel hoch.' This I shall have to do all alone,—a pretty serious piece of business, as, indeed, will be the anniversary of the silver wedding, on which I shall light up a lot of candles for myself, plav the 'Vaudeville,' and look at my English baton. After that I shall take hold again of my instrumental music, write some more things for the pianoforte, and perhaps another and second symphony; for there are two rattling around in my head." It will be remembered that Mendelssohn wrote ten measures of the Andante of the "Scotch" symphony, July 30, 1829, at Edinburgh, and that he worked rather fitfully on the symphony in 1830 at Rome, but did not finish it until early in 1842 at Berlin. " In Febniary, 1 83 1 , he wrote again from Rome : I am making great progress with the Italian Symphony. It will be the most mature thing I have ever done, especially the last movement, Presto agitato. I have not yet found exactly the right thing for the Adagio, and I think I must ptit it off for Naples." He wrote a few days later: "If I could do one of my two symphonies here ! The Italian one I must and will put off till I have seen Naples, which must play a part in it." He wrote from Naples on April 27, 1831 : "The bad weather which we have been having for some days was good for my w^orking, and I plunged with all zeal into the 'Walpurgis Night.' The thing grows more and more interesting to me, and I spend on it every free moment. It will be done in a few days, I think, and it will be a jolly piece. If ThcH«ncn.s«t PIANOFORTE TECHNIC Z'Ztz:,: By RALPH H. BELLAIR5, Mus. Doc. Oxon. This work approaches the study of the pianoforte from an entirely new point of view. The simultaneous development of the rhythmical with the mechanical side of pianoforte playing constitutes its subject. It has received endorsement in the highest quarters, and may be accepted as the latest utterance in connection with scientific pianoforte technique. The section devoted to scale-playing alone will illustrate this fact. In framing this work, the eminent labours of Tausig, Pischna, and von Billow have received the greatest appreciation. Thus, from the earliest stage transposition has been freely adopted ; but monotony of rhythm as well as of key has been sedulously eschewed, and herein lies the novelty of treatment. The points of immediate import which have been consistently kept in view are : — The normal musical sentence, as most commonly found in instrumental music. The rhythmic or metrical figure. The transposition of keys (varied tonality). The old-fashioned five-finger exercise in semiquavers in the key of C major will be vainly sought for within these pages. ^ BOOSEY & COnPANY, 9 EAST 17TH STREET, NEW YORK 16«7 U> Ballard and Sons Shirt Waist Department French Hand-embroidered Linens and Moslins ^ i,lbi Oxfords, Zephyrs, Botcher Linens, etc. I V; ! r/ ;V'' Wash Silks, Pong^ees, etc. MODEL LINGERIE WAISTS and DRESSES, made in Paris SMART TAILOR SKIRTS and SUITS, for Golf and Riding Embroidered Waists . $20 op Plain styles $6 op jijK^y 256 BOYLSTON STREET 1668 1 — : I remain in the present Innnor. I shall finish my Italian Symphony, and then I shall have something to show for my winter's work." But the symphony was not finished when Mendelssohn left Naples. He wrote from Paris (jamiary 21, iH,:^2) to his sister: "Do you ask why I do not compose the Italian A maj(jr symphony? Because I am composing the A minor overture with which I am going to introduce the 'VValpurgis Night.'" At the general meeting of the Philharnujuic vSociety, London, No- vember 5, 1S32. the following resolution was unanimously passed: That Mr. Mcndclssohn-Bartholdy be rec(uestcd to compose a symphony, an over- ture, and a vocal piece for the Society, for which he be offered the sum of one hun- dred jjuineas. That the copyright of the above compositions shall revert to the author after the expiration of two years, the Society reserving to itself the power of performing them at all times, it being understood that Mr. Mendelssohn have the privilege of pub- lishing any arrangement of them as 5?bon as he may think fit after their first per- formance at the Philharmonic concerts. Mendelssohn wrote a letter of acceptance, in which he expressed his "sincerest acknowledgments" and "warmest thanks." "I need not say how happy I shall be in thinking that I write for the Philharmonic Society." He made his third visit to London in April, 1833, and was again happy in "that smoky nest." He lodged in Great Portland Street, stood godfather to Felix Moscheles, who, as a painter, visited this country, and wrote to the secretary of the Philharmonic vSociety "I beg you will inform the Directors of the Philharmonic Society that the scores of my new symphony and overture are at their disposal, and that I shall be able to offer them a vocal composition in a short time hence, which will complete the three works they have done me the honor to desire me to write for the Society.

    Frank Van der Stucken (1858-1929): a friend of Grieg and translator of his songs Lecture for International Edvard Grieg Conference, Berlin, 13-16 May 2009 This paper fits in with a research project that is presently being implemented in the library of the Royal Conservatoire of Antwerp about the composer-conductor Frank Van der Stucken. The library preserves a large collection of scores and documents of Van der Stucken, which form the basis of this research. The contacts between Edvard Grieg and the Flemish composer-pianist Arthur De Greef (1862-1940), who met in 1888, are well documented, but the piano virtuoso De Greef wasn’t Grieg’s first Flemish contact. One decade before, Grieg had already got to know an American composer with Flemish roots, namely Frank Van der Stucken. Frank Van der Stucken was born in 1858 in Fredericksburg, Texas, as the son of a Flemish father and a German mother.1 When the Secession War (1861-1865) had finished, the family no longer felt safe in Texas and in 1865 they returned to father Van der Stucken’s native town of Antwerp (Belgium). There Van der Stucken junior studied at the Flemish School of Music – the later Royal Flemish Conservatoire. He was a student of the director Peter Benoit (1834-1901), the standard bearer of nationalist music in Flanders. After his studies with Benoit, Van der Stucken went to Leipzig in 1878, like so many of his contemporaries, with a view to continuing his formation with Carl Reinecke. That’s where he first met Grieg, who became his friend.

GEORGE FREDERICK HANDEL The version performed at these concerts was arranged by Sir Hamilton Harty and published in 1922. He scored six of Handel's twenty pieces from the Water Music for two flutes, piccolo, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, four horns, two trumpets, timpani and strings. To these, for fuller sonority, Thor Johnson has added a bass clarinet, English horn, and contrabassoon. The Suite includes: 1. Overture—an opera overture in the French style, opening with a slow Introduc­ tion with fanfares, repeated and followed by fugal treatment. 2. Air—particularly appropriate for an English suite, since this type of song, so popular with Continental composers of the 18th century, dates back to the 16th century English composer, John Dowland.
