GUIDE to the ERNEST BRADBURY ARCHIVE 1965 Those Wishing to Discover the Most Outstanding Events of 1965 Should Refer to the Cutt GUIDE TO THE ERNEST BRADBURY ARCHIVE 1965 Those wishing to discover the most outstanding events of 1965 should refer to the cutting of 31.12.65. Owing to limitations, producers and designers consistently mentioned by Ernest Bradbury are not detailed in the annotated reference sheets. Nor are reviews of other critics. Festivals do not appear by name but rather by city.. e.g. Gloucester for this year’s Three Choirs. On occasion a soloist or ensemble may be listed under the initial of the first name rather than the surname. Whether to place a reference under an artist’s name in the body of the reference sheets (listed alphabetically) or in Miscellaneous (listed chronologically) is a grey area and readers are advised to check both. In common with other years there are some items for which I have no cutting but hopefully the Brotherton may have been able to photocopy these from the Yorkshire Post by the time you read this. I list them below:- Excitement & Discipline by the Belgrade (page 4) 22.2.65 Verdi Requiem is Big Occasion (page 9) 10.5.65 Are We a Musical Nation ? (page 5) MM 1.6.65 Reputation in the Balance (Nielsen) (page 4) 8.6.65 Applause in the Abbey (page 14) 19.6.65 Premiere of a Masterpiece MM 22.6.65 Segovia recital (page 8) 20.10.65 Should editions vary, so may some of the pages quoted above. I remind readers that the letters RR and MM used here and throughout the reference sheets stand for Recent Records and Music & Musicians. Such cuttings are placed after the ordinary cuttings month by month. In some cases, also listed below, I have at the time of writing only my husband’s carbon copy of a notice and have inserted this. The Brotherton may in time substitute this with a photocopy from the Yorkshire Post. The dates, for MM articles \ are 19.1; 9.2; 23.3;/28.9; 19.10; 23.11; 26.11 (Hess obituary). And for RR 9.1; 25.6; 17.9; 15.10; 9.12. There are also 3 reviews of a D’Oyly Carte season at Leeds Grand Theatre which I believe to have been used on 16th,17th & 18th September. All cuttings throughout are from the Yorkshire Post unless otherwise stated. If a publication has misspelled something it is possible 1 have copied the error; for this and for any errors or omissions of my own, I apologise and ask that you bring them to the attention of the librarian so that a correction may be made for the benefit of others.

  • The Musical Partnership of Sergei Prokofiev And
    THE MUSICAL PARTNERSHIP OF SERGEI PROKOFIEV AND MSTISLAV ROSTROPOVICH A CREATIVE PROJECT SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT FOR THE DEGREE MASTER OF MUSIC IN PERFORMANCE BY JIHYE KIM DR. PETER OPIE - ADVISOR BALL STATE UNIVERSITY MUNCIE, INDIANA DECEMBER 2011 Among twentieth-century composers, Sergei Prokofiev is widely considered to be one of the most popular and important figures. He wrote in a variety of genres, including opera, ballet, symphonies, concertos, solo piano, and chamber music. In his cello works, of which three are the most important, his partnership with the great Russian cellist Mstislav Rostropovich was crucial. To understand their partnership, it is necessary to know their background information, including biographies, and to understand the political environment in which they lived. Sergei Prokofiev was born in Sontovka, (Ukraine) on April 23, 1891, and grew up in comfortable conditions. His father organized his general education in the natural sciences, and his mother gave him his early education in the arts. When he was four years old, his mother provided his first piano lessons and he began composition study as well. He studied theory, composition, instrumentation, and piano with Reinhold Glière, who was also a composer and pianist. Glière asked Prokofiev to compose short pieces made into the structure of a series.1 According to Glière’s suggestion, Prokofiev wrote a lot of short piano pieces, including five series each of 12 pieces (1902-1906). He also composed a symphony in G major for Glière. When he was twelve years old, he met Glazunov, who was a professor at the St.

  • Sergei Prokofiev
    Sergei Prokofiev Sergei Sergeyevich Prokofiev (/prɵˈkɒfiɛv/; Russian: Сергей Сергеевич Прокофьев, tr. Sergej Sergeevič Prokof'ev; April 27, 1891 [O.S. 15 April];– March 5, 1953) was a Russian composer, pianist and conductor. As the creator of acknowledged masterpieces across numerous musical genres, he is regarded as one of the major composers of the 20th century. His works include such widely heard works as the March from The Love for Three Oranges, the suite Lieutenant Kijé, the ballet Romeo and Juliet – from which "Dance of the Knights" is taken – and Peter and the Wolf. Of the established forms and genres in which he worked, he created – excluding juvenilia – seven completed operas, seven symphonies, eight ballets, five piano concertos, two violin concertos, a cello concerto, and nine completed piano sonatas. A graduate of the St Petersburg Conservatory, Prokofiev initially made his name as an iconoclastic composer-pianist, achieving notoriety with a series of ferociously dissonant and virtuosic works for his instrument, including his first two piano concertos. In 1915 Prokofiev made a decisive break from the standard composer-pianist category with his orchestral Scythian Suite, compiled from music originally composed for a ballet commissioned by Sergei Diaghilev of the Ballets Russes. Diaghilev commissioned three further ballets from Prokofiev – Chout, Le pas d'acier and The Prodigal Son – which at the time of their original production all caused a sensation among both critics and colleagues. Prokofiev's greatest interest, however, was opera, and he composed several works in that genre, including The Gambler and The Fiery Angel. Prokofiev's one operatic success during his lifetime was The Love for Three Oranges, composed for the Chicago Opera and subsequently performed over the following decade in Europe and Russia.

Was Legge being deliberately provocative in the course of a prickly exchange concerning the inescapably Teutonic legacy of Otto Klemperer? Here were two composers who, in their different ways, willingly or unwillingly, kept the flag flying for lower norms of dissonance and older ways of thinking generally overlooked by modernist critics in the West.

    A COMPARISION OF PROKOFIEV’S USE OF CELLO TECHNIQUES IN HIS CELLO CONCERTO, OP. 58 (1938) AND SINFONIA CONCERTANTE, OP. 125 (1952) BY JIYEON HWANG SCHOLARLY ESSAY 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: Professor Emeritus Chester L. Alwes Associate Professor Dmitry Kouzov, Chair Professor Charlotte Mattax Moersch Professor Stephen Taylor, Director of Research ABSTRACT This document examines the artistic collaboration between Mstislav Rostropovich (1927– 2007) and Sergey Prokofiev (1891–1953) and provides a comparative study of Prokofiev's use of cello techniques in his Cello Concerto, Op. 58 (1938) and Sinfonia Concertante, Op. 125 (1952). It is interesting to see Prokofiev’s much better understanding of the possibilities of the cello in his Sinfonia Concertante, in comparison with his poor knowledge of the instrument in his Cello Concerto, where many passages are ineffective, difficult, or even unplayable. This document is intended to serve as a useful resource for cellists or anyone who are interested in the compositional background and process connected to Prokofiev’s Sinfonia Concertante. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS I.

    Sergey Prokofiev’s Complete Solo Cello Repertory: The Compositional History and Performance Guide A document submitted to The Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS in Violoncello Performance Studies Division of the College-Conservatory of Music 2019 by Li-Han Eliza Tseng B.M., National Taichung University of Education, 2012 M.M., University of North Texas, 2014 Abstract This document is a comprehensive study of the five complete solo cello repertory by Sergey Prokofiev, featuring cello with piano or orchestra— the Ballade, Cello Sonata, Cello Concerto, Adagio from Cinderella, and Sinfonia Concertante. The study combines compositional background, musical analysis, and performance practice. In the compositional background section, I relate Prokofiev’s life events, his diary, scholarly research, and the political influences to his cello compositions. In the musical analysis section, I categorize the themes and show the motives of each of Prokofiev’s solo cello works in charts, and I compare these to Prokofiev’s own cello compositions. The musical examples, excerpts, and tables illustrate each work’s form. The performance practice section includes an examination and discussion of technical issues as well as the highlights of each piece. In the document, I chronicle Prokofiev’s cello solo repertory. Chapter 1 tells the stories about Prokofiev’s cello compositions—solo and ensemble, how the music aligns with his life stages, and the influence of Mstislav Rostropovich, Prokofiev’s cello friend and partner. Chapters 2 and 3 provide recent scholarly discoveries of Prokofiev’s solo cello works, particularly the Ballade and the Adagio from Cinderella.
