It is a factor of vital importance in the education of the children, an unending source of inspiration and recreation for the growing gener- ation, a refining, cultivating influence touching every member of the family. It is the common speech that is understood by all, that appeals to everybody, that enlists the sympathies of man, woman and child, of high and low, of young and old, in every walk of life. The PIANO is the universal musical instrument of the home, the instrument that should be in every household. And the greatest among pianos is the STEINWAY, prized and cherished throughout the wide world by all lovers of good music. Or, in the words of a well -known American writer: "Wherever human hearts are sad or glad, and songs arc sung, and strings vibrate, and keys respond to love's caress, there is known, respected, revered loved- the name and fame of STEINWAY."

(Born at Liege, December 10, 1822; died at Paris, November 8, This Symphonic Piece, "Morceau Symphonique," was composed in 1873-74. It was performed probably for the first time at a concert per- of the Societe Rationale, Paris, February 13, 1874. It was formed later at the Cirque d'Hiver, Paris, March 19, 1876. It was, afterwards rewritten and played' at a concert of the Opera, Paris, November 17, 1895. It was performed by the Philadelphia Orchestra at Philadelphia at the concerts of December 14 and 15, 1906, and at New York by the New York Symphony Orchestra, December 15, 1906. The first performance in Boston was at a Symphony concert December 28, 1907, Dr. Muck conductor. There was a second per- formance under his leadership on April 6, 1917. The score in the edition for voice and two pianofortes bears this motto.: "The ages pass. The joy of the world which is transformed and made radiant by the words of Christ." This piece, however, was not composed for the first version of "The Redemption/' and the orchestral piece for which it was sub- stituted was not played at the first performance of the work in 1873. Franck began work on "The Beatitudes" in 1869. The Prologue and the First Beatitude were completed in 1870, and were orches- trated during the bombardment of Paris. Franck then left his work to compose the music of "The Redemption." The first version was written in 1871-72. The text of the poem, which is described IS THE MOST BELOVED OF ALL INSTRUMENTS The HARP is the easiest of all string Children actually play pleasing melodies instruments to learn in nine lessons OUR BROCHURE THE CLARK THE LYON & IRISH HARP "Providence the Harp Mecca HEALY CON- CERT HARP $75.00 and of America" $500.00 $135.00 and upward WILL BE SENT TO YOU ON REQUEST The WILLIAM PLACE.

Francb had little discernment in Literary matters, although Vincent d'Indy tells us that, busy as Franck was in teaching, he found some time to read, especially during vacations, which he spent at Quincy; that he n-ad ancient and modern works of a serious nature: and he gives this instance: "One day, while reading in hi^ garden with the at- tention which Characterised him in all that he did.

César Franck’ın Prelüd, Koral ve Füg eserinin incelenmesi, Yüksek Lisans Sanat Çalışması Raporu, Ankara, 2015. 19. yüzyılın ikinci yarısında Fransız Müziği’nin önde gelen isimlerinden ve usta orgcularından biri olan César Franck, piyanoda benimsediği org anlayışı ile döneminin en ilgi çekici bestecilerindendir. Piyano enstrümanıyla org etkisi yarattığı eserleri ile Debussy ve Ravel gibi diğer öncü bestecileri etkiler. Eserlerinde, enstrümantal fikirleri polifonik anlayış ile birleştirerek yoğun bir atmosfer oluşturur. “Prelüd, Koral ve Füg”, zengin armonik yapısı, piyanonun her türlü imkanının sonuna kadar kullanılması, Franck’ın duyumsal ve dindar kişiliğinden gelen mistik öğeleri sağlam bir form anlayışıyla dengelemesi nedeniyle piyano literatürünün anlaşılması en zor ve değerli eserlerinden biridir. Bu çalışmada, bestecinin hayatı, eserleri ve içinde bulunduğu kültürel ortamla ilgili bilgi verilmiş, esere adını veren üç form ve tekrarlı biçim ayrıntılı olarak açıklanmıştır. Son bölümde de eserin form analizi yapılmıştır. Anahtar Sözcükler Franck, Prelüd, Koral, Füg, Tekrarlı Biçim. v ABSTRACT GENÇGÖNÜL, Begümhan.

  • 1873–1875: Carmen • 211
    l CHAPTER NINE ; 1873 1875 – : Carmen hile Bizet was writing wind pieces and orchestrating all 1200 pages Wof Carmen, Geneviève was with him in Bougival during the summer of 1874; at least that seems to have been the arrangement they came to, however pre- carious. There is strong evidence to suggest that Geneviève was more than usually friendly with one of her husband’s friends, Élie-Miriam Delaborde, a virtuoso pia- nist whose talent he inherited from his father, the equally remarkable Alkan, and who spent the summer nearby in Bougival. Bizet was aware of her warm feelings for Delaborde, which she did not hide.1 The manner in which members of the Halévy family destroyed or concealed crucial evidence suggests that something was amiss. The appearance, however, is of a threesome who got on well enough. Delaborde, like Bizet, enjoyed swimming. He was a vigorous athlete, an advocate of the pedal-piano, an experienced traveller, and the possessor of innumerable apes and parrots as pets—congenial and interesting company, in other words. The most significant pointer to Geneviève’s interest in Delaborde is the marriage contract they both signed in August 1876, scarcely a year after Bizet’s death.2 The marriage did not take place; both parties eventually married other spouses. But this is a mat- ter in which gossip passed down through the years seems for once to have been right. Geneviève nevertheless told Gounod later that there was not a moment of her six years with Bizet she would not want to live again.3 We have at the same time to contend with the parallel gossip that linked Bizet to Galli-Marié.

Franck ei ole koskaan noussut Suomessa erityisen suosituksi säveltäjäksi, mutta hänen nimensä on pysynyt esillä erityisesti lau- lun Panis angelicus ansiosta. Ohjeluettelon tekemiseen on houkutellut paitsi teosluettelo*, myös Franckin sotkuinen opusnumerokäytäntö, jota jotkut julkaisijat edelleen pitävät hengissä.
