PENNSYLVANIA STREET, INDIANAPOLIS Symphony in B-fxat major, No. 5, Op. 55. Alexander Glazouno^ (Born at St. Petersburg, August 10, 1865; now living there.) Glazounoff's fifth symphony was composed at St. Petersburg in 1895. It was published in 1896. It was performed for the first time in March, 1896, at one of the concerts of the New Russian School, organized by the publisher Belaieff in St. Petersburg. The scherzo was then repeated in response to compelling applause. The first performance of the symphony in the United States was at a concert of the Philharmonic Society of New York, Anton Seidl conductor, March 5, 1898. The first performance in Boston was at a concert of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, November 24, 1906, Dr. Muck conductor. The symphony, dedicated to Serge Tan&'eff,* is scored for three • Serge Tan6ieff was born in the government Vladimir, Russia, November 25, 1856. He is now living at Moscow. He studied the pianoforte with Nicholas Rubinstein and composition with Tschaikowsky at the Moscow Conservatory, of which he was afterward for some time (1885-89) the director, and was also teacher of theory in the school, a position that he still holds, or, at least, did hold a short time ago. (The Russian music schools have seen troublous times during the last year and a half, and resignations and dismissals have been frequent.) Taneleff made his first appearance as a pianist at Moscow in January, 1875, when be played Brahms's Concerto in D minor, and was loudly praised by critics and the general public, although the con- certo was dismissed as an "unthankful" work. Tschaikowsky, as critic, wrote a glowing eulogy of the per- formance. It had been said, and without contradiction until the appearance of Modest Tschaikowsky' s Life of his brother, that Taneleff was the first to play Peter's Concerto in B-flat minor in Russia. But the first performance in Russia was at St. Petersburg, November 1, 1875, when Kross was the pianist. Taneleff was the first to play the concerto at Moscow, November 12 of the same year, and he was the first to play Tschai- kowsky's Concerto in C minor, Pianoforte Fantasia, Trio in A minor, and the posthumous Concerto in E-flat major. Taneleff spent some months at Paris, 1876-77. On his return he joined the faculty of the Moscow Conservatory. That Tschaikowsky admired Taneieff's talent, and was fond of him as a man, is shown by the correspondence published in Modest Tschaikowsky s Life. Taneleff has composed a symphony (played here at a Symphony concert, November 23, 1902); an opera, "The Oresteia" (1895); a concert overture "The Oresteia" (played here at a Symphony concert, February 14, 1903); a cantata, "Johannes Damasce- nu3"; a half-dozen quartets (the one in B-flat minor, Op. 4, was performed here at a Symphony Quartet concert, November 27, 1905), choruses.

Moderate maestoso, B-flat, 4-4. In this introductory section the sturdy chief theme of the allegro which follows is hinted at forcibly, and it is given to clarinets, bassoons, horns, tuba, and lower strings. There is preluding. The Allegro is in 2-2 and then 3-4. The first theme, which has been likened to the Sword motive in the "Ring," is announced by bassoon and violoncellos, while clarinets sustain. It is then given to oboe and first violins, and at last is sounded by the whole orchestra. The second and suave theme is sung by flute and clarinet against wood-wind chords, with harp arpeggios and strings pizz. This theme is developed to a mighty fortissimo. The use of these themes is easily discernible. There is a stirring coda. II. Scherzo, moderato, G minor, 2-4. After a few measures of sportive preluding the first theme is given to flutes, oboe, clarinet. The second theme, of a little more decided character, is announced by flutes, clarinets, and violins. Pochissimo meno mosso. The flutes have a fresh theme, which, undergoing changes and appearing in various tonalities, is expressed finally by the full orchestra. III. Andante, B-flat, 6-8. The movement is in the nature of a Romance. The chief and expressive theme has been likened to the opening measures of Radames' famous air, "Celeste Aida." Heavy chords for the brass change the mood. There is a cantilena for violins and violoncellos. After preluding on the dominant there is a return of the leading motive. IV. Allegro maestoso, B-flat, 2-2. The movement begins at once, forte, with a martial theme (full orchestra). The other important themes used in this turbulent movement are a heavy motive, announced by bassoons, tuba, and lower strings, and, animato, one announced BUFFALO, N.Y.

Alexander was in the "Real" school until his eigh- teenth year, and he then attended lectures at the University of St. Petersburg as a "voluntary," or non-attached, student. He has devoted himself wholly to music. When he was nine years old, he began to take pianoforte lessons with Elenovsky, a pupil of Felix Dreyschock and a pianist of talent, and it is to him that Glazounoff owed a certain swiftness in performance, the habit of reading at sight, and the rudimentary ideas of harmony. Encouraged by his teacher, Glazounoff ventured to compose, and in 1879 Balakireff advised him to continue his general studies and at the same time ground himself in classical music. A year later Balakireff recom- mended him to study privately with Rimsky-Korsakoff. Glazounoff studied composition and theory with Rimsky-Korsakoff for nearly two years.

Abstract This monograph examines the post-exile, multi-version works of Sergei Rachmaninoff with a view to unravelling the sophisticated web of meanings and values attached to them. Compositional revision is an important and complex aspect of creating musical meaning. Considering revision offers an important perspective on the construction and circulation of meanings and discourses attending Rachmaninoff’s music. While Rachmaninoff achieved international recognition during the 1890s as a distinctively Russian musician, I argue that Rachmaninoff’s return to certain compositions through revision played a crucial role in the creation of a narrative and set of tropes representing “Russian diaspora” following the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution.

  • Tchaikovsky.Pdf
    Tchaikovsky CD 1 1 Orchestrion It wasn’t unusual, in the middle of the 19th century, to hear sounds like that coming from the drawing rooms of comfortable, middle-class families. The Orchestrion, one of the first and grandest of mass-produced mechanical music-makers, was one of the precursors of the 20th century gramophone. It brought music into homes where otherwise it might never have been heard, except through the stumbling fingers of children, enduring, or in some cases actually enjoying, their obligatory half-hour of practice time. In most families the Orchestrion was a source of pleasure. But in one Russian household, it seems to have been rather more. It afforded a small boy named Piotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky some of his earliest glimpses into a world, and a language, which was to become (in more senses then one), his lifeline. One evening his French governess, Fanny Dürbach, went into the nursery and found the tiny child sitting up in bed, crying. ‘What’s the matter?’ she asked – and his answer surprised her. ‘This music’ he wailed, ‘this music!’ She listened. The house was quiet. ‘No. It’s here,’ cried the boy – he pointed to his head. ‘It’s here, and I can’t make it go away. It won’t leave me.’ And of course it never did. ‘His sensitivity knew no bounds and so one had to deal with him very carefully. Every little trifle could upset or wound him. He was a child of glass. As for reproofs and admonitions (with him there could be no question of punishments), what would have been water off a duck’s back to other children affected him deeply, and if the degree of severity was increased only the slightest, it would upset him alarmingly.’ Despite his outwardly happy appearance, peace of mind is something Tchaikovsky rarely knew, from childhood to his dying day.

  • Current Trends in the Implementation of Educational Concerts of Symphony Orchestras: a Review of Literature LEONI HADJITHOMA European University, Cyprus
    Min-Ad: Israel Studies in Musicology Online, Vol. 15, 2018 (2) Materials of the First International Conference on Music Education in the Community “Traditions, Challenges and Innovations,” Tel-Aviv – Jerusalem, May 14-17, 2017 Current Trends in the Implementation of Educational Concerts of Symphony Orchestras: A Review of Literature LEONI HADJITHOMA European University, Cyprus Abstract: This presentation focused on the current trends in the implementation of educational concerts of symphony orchestras. The aim was to collect, organize and present innovative approaches on how to design enjoyable educational concerts for students and provide them with memorable experiences. Data was collected from orchestra websites, reports, books and published thesis and doctoral dissertations. Results show that educational concerts are usually designed by a conductor often in collaboration with the director of the music education department of an orchestra. Teacher and student resources, and teacher training are provided to prepare the students for the experience. The choice of repertoire depends on the learning objectives of each concert, but the musical tastes and needs of the students should always be taken into consideration. The students are actively engaged in various ways during the concert. Assessment of educational concerts is carried out and the results are used internally for improvement of future concerts. Keywords: educational concerts, symphony orchestra, trends Introduction Many symphony orchestras include in their annual programs educational concerts for students in collaboration with schools to educate the audience of the future and enrich the services they offer to the public. At the same time, educational concerts are an important part of the music curriculum in education and give students the opportunity to gain additional experiences, while interacting with the community they belong to.

    100 Years of Extraordinary Historical Highlights from the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra Archives 1910s 1915 – Through a $6,000 grant from the city of Baltimore, the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra is founded as a branch of the city’s Department of Municipal Music, making it the only major American orchestra to be fully funded as a municipal agency. 1916 – On February 11, the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra performs its inaugural concerts to a standing- room-only crowd at The Lyric, under the direction of Music Director Gustav Strube. All three concerts comprising the first season at the Lyric are sold out. 1920s 1924 – On February 16, the BSO hosts its first children’s concert.

He conducts his opening concert, with the musicians now numbering 83, on November 23. 1935 - In late February, George Siemonn reluctantly resigns as music director and is replaced by Ernest Schelling. Forty-four musicians apply for the position. Schelling is well-known for his children’s concert series at Carnegie Hall. 1937 - Sara Feldman and Vivienne Cohn become the first women to join the Baltimore Symphony. The older members of the orchestra are supportive, but union members picket the hall with signs saying, “Unfair to Men,” which is reported in the New York Times. 1937 - Ernest Schelling becomes ill and is replaced by Werner Janssen. The dynamic young conductor and his wife, the celebrated film star Ann Harding, receive an enthusiastic response when they arrive in Baltimore.
