Much has been written about the promise of this new century, and much has already occurred within our world to make us question anew our goals, our priorities, and indeed, our very identity. Assaulting our senses and shaking us to the core, the devastation that occurred on our own shores has created moments of misery and memory in each of our souls—but also, in our studios, sonorities rehearsal rooms, and performance stages. On this campus—and on Winter 2003 those all across the nation—colleagues turned to artists to provide emotional strength, to create a structure for grief, to nurture the glim- mer of hope, but most importantly, to sustain our deeply experienced Published for alumni and friends of the School of Music at the University of Illinois humanity.

elcome to our winter issue of sonorities. I had the honor of assuming the directorship of the School of Music on August 15, 2002, following a long Wline of distinguished leaders since the school’s founding in 1895. In my short time in Urbana-Champaign, I have met a hugely talented faculty and stu- dent body with whom I am eager to make beautiful music. Let me tell you a bit about myself. I grew up in Hatboro, Pennsylvania, a small town outside of Philadelphia; George Washington slept there one night in 1777. Drawn to the warm, firm, and sonorous sound, I began playing the tuba in the fifth grade. My high school years were largely uneventful, except for a very large fish I caught in the Nockamixon Creek in 1973. My undergraduate years were spent at Temple University in Philadelphia. As a member of the Temple Marching Band, I was present in Veterans Stadium at one of the most resounding defeats Winter 2003 in college football history when Tony Dorset and the University of Pittsburgh 2 Renowned Beethoven Panthers defeated the fighting Owls 72-3 in 1976.

s o n o r i t i e s 4 by Anne Mischakoff Heiles Beethoven Scholar and Pianist Joins Faculty
William Kinderman, internationally respected Beethoven scholar and pianist, joined the musi- cology faculty last year in a particularly timely fashion: his research, culminating in a major three-volume work, had just been accepted for publication by the University of Illinois Press. At the proof stage this fall, it will be published in early 2003 as the first publication in the new Beethoven Sketchbook Series, edited by Kinder- man.This work, titled Artaria 195: Beethoven’s Sketchbook for the Missa Solemnis and the Piano Sonata, Opus 109, presents sketch materi- al edited and transcribed together with a book- length commentary on Beethoven’s creative process.The publication includes a color facsimi- le of the sketchbook known as Artaria 195 (named after the publisher, Domenico Artaria, who acquired it following Beethoven’s death). In his commentary, based on years of work on Beethoven’s manuscripts, Kinderman identifies much new musical material found in this sketch- book, dating from the early 1820s. Beethoven w bound together in it many sketches he penned i n for the Missa Solemnis and the final piano sonata t trilogy, the Five Bagatelles, Opus 119, Nos. 7–11, e r and some brief unknown pieces (Kinderman 2 refers to these as “aphorisms”). 0 0 3 5 Faculty Feature
In studying the sketches for the Missa Solemnis, Kinderman was able to bring together new information about the chronology of its composi- tion that sheds light on Beethoven’s working habits. He notes, “In Beethoven’s case there are substantial sketches and drafts for works he developed through a relent- less process of self-criticism, sometimes sustained over months and years. Because of the large number of manu- “In Beethoven’s case scripts, the difficulties of reading Beethoven’s hand, and the fact that these manuscripts are widely dispersed,the first reli- able catalog of these materials was published only in the 1980s. So this field of research is still fresh, and there’s much that can still be discovered.” there are substantial Some of Kinderman’s discoveries revise aspects of Beethoven’s biography. Scribbled marginalia or other odd fea- tures of these sketches have yielded surprising new insights. Explaining his sustained research,Kinderman says,“I compare sketches and drafts for it to the kind of work that Egyptologists or archaeologists do, because one gives painstaking examination to cryptic, faint markings. Only after a long period of working with the mate- rials can you begin to uncover their secrets. But eventually you can, with reasonable certainty, solve the puzzles.” works he developed Beethoven hoarded these manuscripts and left something like an intact legacy of his sketches when he died in 1827. “Many of these manuscripts are now in Berlin. At the State Library it is possible to put out on one table most of the mate- through a relentless rial that you would have seen if you had been Beethoven’s guest in 1820.” Kinderman also investigates these sketches with the eyes of a performer. He comments,“In the process one thinks in new ways about pieces that are seemingly very familiar, like process of self-criticism, the final Piano Sonatas, Opus 109, 110, and 111. Sometimes having access to the way Beethoven composed earlier ver- sions, witnessing the ideas on which the pieces were origi- nally based, gives one some fresh ideas when approaching these pieces in performance. In certain ways [studying the sometimes sustained sketches] encourages interpretative freedom, based upon something that is inherent in the music.” Kinderman has recently recorded these last three sonatas for s o Hyperion/Helios Records.

She studied music in college and Sarah Green received a degree from North Central College in Naperville, assistant director of development Illinois.Years later, she taught piano at her home in Walnut, Illinois, and later in Dalton City. Dorothy explains how she began her teaching career: “We had a lovely pipe organ at the church, and I played at A recent gift of $1.25 million from the dedication, but that was when I was just a couple of Dean T. and Nancy Langford will create years out of school.

Ronald Romm isn’t one to rest on his laurels. Last year he was the B.A. Nugent Visiting Professor of Music Performance; this fall he officially joined the School of Music’s faculty as professor of trumpet.Yet by 7:30 a.m. Romm begins his teaching day with some 40 trumpet students, warming up in the Audi- torium of the Music Building, the only room there large enough to hold the burgeoning trumpet studio. Dubbing trumpeters the “Mouthpiece Buzzers,” Romm leads them in an early call to a full day’s musi- cal activity. “If you start your day with an exercise program, breathing and stretching, the whole day is easier,” he says. “I studied with James Stamp, who devised a system of warm-ups and flexibility routines based upon mouthpiece buzzing. As a scholarship student, if there was need for a trumpet player at USC, I was ‘it.’My family had a dance band known as The Romm-Antics, so I also played dance jobs on weekends, and often a pair of church services on w i Sunday morning.I would roll into lessons with Jimmy n t Stamp Monday mornings with my lips swollen. e r 2 0 0 3 13 Faculty Feature
