CLAUDE FRANK Claude Frank was born in Nuremberg in 1925, but he emigrated in 1938 and has made his home in the United States since 1941. He studied piano and composition with Artur Schnabel for several years, a period which was interrupted by two years of service in the American Army (1944-46), in both Germany and Japan. During his military service he gave innumerable recitals in Europe, over Radio Tokyo and in many other Japanese cities. After his discharge from the Army he spent a summer at Tanglewood studying conducting with Serge Kousse- vitzky and also served for a time as assistant conductor of the renowned Dessoff Choirs. In 1947 he made a highly successful New York debut and in 1948 he joined the faculty of Benning- ton College in Vermont. He joined the faculty of Rudolf Serkin's Marlboro Music Festival in 1953, and there he found himself more and more the per- forming artist rather than artist teacher. Since 1959 he has appeared with the Boston Symphony Orchestra in Boston, New York, and Tanglewood; the New York Philharmonic, and the orchestras of Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Chicago, De- troit, Baltimore, Denver, Zurich, Lau- sanne, Hamburg, Frankfurt, Amsterdam and Barcelona.

Returning to England, he gave some orchestral concerts in Liverpool, but it was as conductor of some of the Royal Philharmonic Society's concerts that he first attracted attention. In 1919 he joined the staff of the Royal College of Music and took charge of the con- ducting and score-reading class, and later on was entrusted with the direction and training of the College Orchestra. His first major appointment was in 1924 as conductor of the City of Bir- mingham Orchestra, a post which he held until 1930, when he became Direc- tor of Music of the B.B.C. and conductor of its newly formed symphony orchestra. He was responsible for their training from the start, developing them into an orchestra of the highest class, and to- gether they rose to world fame. In 1950, Sir Adrian took up the posi- tion of Principal Conductor of the Lon- don Philharmonic Orchestra, with whom he has toured Western Germany and Russia, and taken part in numerous Festival concerts, including the opening nights at Edinburgh. He is now oc- cupied with free-lance work, though he took charge again of the City of Bir- mingham Orchestra for the 1959-60 season. He rejoined the staff of the Royal College of Music in September, 1962, to take charge of the First Orches- tra and a Conductors' Class.

  • This Album Presents American Piano Music from the Later Part of the Nineteenth Century to the Beginning of the Twentieth
    EDWARD MacDOWELL and Company New World Records 80206 This album presents American piano music from the later part of the nineteenth century to the beginning of the twentieth. Chronologically it ranges from John Knowles Paine’s Fuga Giocosa, published in 1884, to Henry F. Gilbert’s Mazurka, published in 1902. The majority are from the nineties, a time of great prosperity and self-satisfaction in a nation of philanthropists and “philanthropied,” as a writer characterized it in The New York Times. Though the styles are quite different, there are similarities among the composers themselves. All were pianists or organists or both, all went to Europe for musical training, and all dabbled in the classical forms. If their compatriots earlier in the nineteenth century wrote quantities of ballads, waltzes, galops, marches, polkas, and variations on popular songs (New World Records 80257-2, The Wind Demon), the present group was more likely to write songs (self-consciously referred to as “art songs”) and pieces with abstract titles like prelude, fugue, sonata, trio, quartet, and concerto. There are exceptions. MacDowell’s formal works include two piano concertos, four piano sonatas, and orchestra and piano suites, but he is perhaps best known for his shorter character pieces and nature sketches for piano, such as Fireside Tales and New England Idyls (both completed in 1902). Ethelbert Nevin was essentially a composer of songs and shorter piano pieces, most of them souvenirs of his travels, but he, too, worked in the forms that had become most prestigious in his generation. The central reason for the shift away from dance-inspired and entertainment pieces to formal compositions was that American wealth created a culture that created a musical establishment.

    THE MULTI-FACETED ARTISTRY OF VIOLIST EMANUEL VARDI BY LYDIA M. TANG THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in Music with a concentration in Performance and Literature in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2016 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Rudolf Haken, Chair Associate Professor Katherine Syer, Director of Research Associate Professor Scott Schwartz Professor Stephen Taylor Clinical Assistant Professor Elizabeth Freivogel Abstract As a pioneer viola virtuoso of the 20th century, Emanuel “Manny” Vardi (c. 1915-2011) is most widely recognized as the first violist to record all of Paganini’s Caprices. As a passionate advocate for the viola as a solo instrument, Vardi premiered and championed now-standard repertoire, elevated the technique of violists by his virtuosic example, and inspired composers to write more demanding new repertoire for the instrument. However, the details of his long and diverse career have never to date been explored in depth or in a comprehensive manner. This thesis presents the first full biographical narrative of Vardi’s life: highlighting his work with the NBC Symphony under Arturo Toscanini, his activities as a soloist for the United States Navy Band during World War II, his compositional output, visual artwork, an analysis of his playing and teaching techniques, as well as his performing and recording legacies in classical, jazz, and popular music. Appendices include a chronology of his life, discography, lists of compositions written by and for Vardi, registered copyrights, and a list of interviews conducted by the author with family members, former students, and colleagues.
