She was also a teacher of pianist, Raymond Lewenthal. Mr. Cherkassky's musical ability was shown at an early age and when five years old he had composed a five-act opera and when ten years of age had conducted a sym­ phony orchestra. After three years of privation and suffering and months of struggle, permission was received from the Russian Government to take the boy out of Russia. The Cher­ kassky family arrived in America December 23, 1922 and settled in Baltimore in 1923. Shura gave three piano recitals in Baltimore at the Lyric Theatre. Harold Ran­ dolph, Director of the Peabody Conservatory and Fre­ derick R. Huber, Municipal Director of Music, were impressed by the boy's genius and took him under their guidance. Later he became a student of Josef Hofmann who was a famous teacher and later director of the Curtis Institute of Music. In later life, Shura recalled his training with the great pianist, and the man's personal­ ity and organized work. Shura studied for some months with Leopold Stokowski in New York.

  • Mechanical Instruments and Phonography: the Recording Angel of Historiography”, Radical Musicology, No Prelo
    Silva, João, “Mechanical instruments and phonography: The Recording Angel of historiography”, Radical Musicology, no prelo. Mechanical instruments and phonography: The Recording Angel of historiography This article strives to examine the established historical narrative concerning music recording. For that purpose it will concentrate on the phonographic era of acoustic recording (from 1877 to the late 1920s), a period when several competing technologies for capturing and registering sound and music were being incorporated in everyday life. Moreover, it will analyse the significant chronological overlap of analogue and digital media and processes of recording, thus adding a layer of complexity to the current historical narratives regarding that activity. In order to address that set of events, this work will mainly recur to the work of both Walter Benjamin and Slavoj Žižek. Benjamin’s insight as an author that bore witness to and analysed the processes of commodification that were operating in the period in which this article concerns is essential in a discussion that focuses on aspects such as modernity, technology, and history. Furthermore, his work on history presents a space in which to address and critique the notion of historicism as an operation that attempts to impose a narrative continuity to the fragmentary categories of existence within modernity, a stance this article will develop when analysing the historiography of music and sound recording. The work of Žižek is especially insightful in tracing a distinction between historicism

  • MTO 20.1: Willey, Editing and Arrangement
    Volume 20, Number 1, March 2014 Copyright © 2014 Society for Music Theory The Editing and Arrangement of Conlon Nancarrow’s Studies for Disklavier and Synthesizers Robert Willey NOTE: The examples for the (text-only) PDF version of this item are available online at: http://www.mtosmt.org/issues/mto.14.20.1/mto.14.20.1.willey.php KEYWORDS: Conlon Nancarrow, MIDI, synthesis, Disklavier ABSTRACT: Over the last three decades a number of approaches have been used to hear Conlon Nancarrow’s Studies for Player Piano in new settings. The musical information necessary to do this can be obtained from his published scores, the punching scores that reveal the planning behind the compositions, copies of the rolls, or the punched rolls themselves. The most direct method of extending the Studies is to convert them to digital format, because of the similarities between the way notes are represented on a player piano roll and in MIDI. The process of editing and arranging Nancarrow’s Studies in the MIDI environment is explained, including how piano roll dynamics are converted into MIDI velocities, and other decisions that must be made in order to perform them in a particular environment: the Yamaha Disklavier with its accompanying GM sound module. While Nancarrow approved of multi-timbral synthesis, separating the voices of his Studies and assigning them unique timbres changes the listener’s experience of the “resultant,” Tenney’s term for the fusion of multiple voices into a single polyphonic texture. Received January 2014 1. Introduction [1.1] Conlon Nancarrow’s compositional output from 1948 until his death in 1997 was primarily for the two player pianos in his studio in Mexico City.

While tympanic reproduction has been very successful, its success has limited the ways in which music reproduction is popularly imagined and discussed. This thesis explores the history of “re-performance,” an alternative mode of reproduction epitomized by the early twentieth-century player piano. It begins with a discussion of nineteenth-century piano recorders and the historical role of material representation in the production of music.

  • Read a Complete Transcript of the Interview
    In the 1st Person : March 2005 NewMusicBox The Inside Story: Stephen Scott talks with Frank J. Oteri Friday, November 12, 2004—4:30-5:30 p.m. The American Music Center Videotaped by Randy Nordschow Transcribed by Randy Nordschow and Frank J. Oteri Like much of the music I love, Stephen Scott's music first entered my life on an LP. It was over 20 years ago, when I was a DJ at Columbia University's radio station WKCR. Stephen Scott's LP, New Music for Bowed Piano, arrived in the mail with two others—one featuring music by Ingram Marshall, the other by Paul Dresher—all on a record label I had never heard of before called New Albion. In the years since, I've actively followed the careers of all three, both as a listener and someone who writes about music. I've talked with Ingram for NewMusicBox and I've written program notes about Paul Dresher. But, until now, I was never able to verbally catch up with Stephen Scott until he came to visit us at the American Music Center. In some ways, Stephen Scott is the most methodical of these three postminimalist composers who all made minimalism less methodical in very different ways. Not in terms of compositional techniques, but in terms of his sonic vocabulary: all of his work on recordings and most of the music he composes is for his own ensemble of musicians who bow, hammer, scrape, and do any number of other activities inside a grand piano. To this day, aside from this brief video of his piece Entrada, I've never "seen" his music live.
