I Concerti di Radio3: per l’Abruzzo dal Silenzio alla Musica Carlo Grante Nato a L’Aquila, diplomato a Roma, al Conservatorio di S. Cecilia, dove ha studiato pianoforte con Sergio Perticaroli e composizione con Claudio Perugini, Carlo Grante si è perfezionato negli Stati Uniti con Ivan Davis (University of Miami) e con Rudolf Firkusny (Juillard School di New York). Successivamente ha proseguito il suo percorso di formazione a Londra sotto la guida di Alice Kezeradze-Pogorelich. Grante, oggi tra i pianisti italiani più celebri a livello internazionale, ha dedicato fin dai suoi esordi un’attenzione particolare non solo al grande repertorio, ma anche alla produzione contemporanea e all’opera di musicisti alla cui notorietà egli ha contribuito in modo decisivo anche attraverso registrazioni discogra- fiche, come nel caso delle opere per pianoforte di Leopold Godowsky o del compositore di origini persiane Kaikhosru Shapurij Sorabij. Alcuni autori (fra gli altri Vlad, Finnissy, Troncon, Flynn) gli hanno dedicato loro compo- sizioni. Carlo Grante si è esibito nelle più prestigiose sedi nazionali e internazionali in recital e con orchestre di primissimo piano: Royal Philharmonic Orchestra di Londra, Chamber Orchestra of Europe, Orchestra Sinfonica dell’Acca- demia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia e molte altre. La sua ampia discografia rispecchia l’ampiezza dei suoi interesse musicali e, al tempo stesso, la sua volontà di affrontare in pieno l’opera di un autore diventandone interpre- te specialista e di riferimento. Così è avvenuto, per esempio, per la musica di Ferruccio Busoni e del già citato Godowsky, così per autori storici come Platti e Clementi, come pure per pietre miliari del grande repertorio come Chopin e Prokof’ev. Attualmente, Carlo Grante sta realizzando un’incisio- ne integrale delle Sonate di Domenico Scarlatti. Sabato 26 settembre 2009 Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Antica in Palazzo Barberini Salone Pietro da Cortona Carlo Grante pianoforte solo Domenico Scarlatti (1685 – 1757) 6 Sonate - dal 6° libro del Codice di Parma redatto nel 1753 Sonata P6:1 (K.248) in si bemolle maggiore - Allegro Sonata P6:2 (K.249) in si bemolle maggiore - Allegro Sonata P6:3 (K.236) in re maggiore - Allegro Sonata P6:4 (K.237) in re maggiore - Allegro Sonata P6:5 (K.250) in do maggiore - Allegro Sonata P6:6 (K.251) in do maggiore - Allegro Robert Schumann (1810 – 1856) Toccata op.7 in do maggiore (1830 – 1833) Robert Schumann Sonata n. 1 op.11 in fa diesis minore (1833 – 1835) - Poco adagio - Allegro vivace - Aria - Scherzo prestissimo - Intermezzo - Allegro quasi Maestoso.

MUSICWEB INTERNATIONAL Recordings of the Year 2019
MUSICWEB INTERNATIONAL Recordings Of The Year 2019 This is the seventeenth year that MusicWeb International has asked its reviewing team to nominate their recordings of the year. Reviewers are not restricted to discs they had reviewed, but the choices must have been reviewed on MWI in the last 12 months (December 2018-November 2019). The 128 selections have come from 27 members of the team and 65 different labels, the choices reflecting as usual, the great diversity of music and sources; I say that every year, but still the spread of choices surprises and pleases me. Of the selections, one has received three nominations: An English Coronation on Signum Classics and ten have received two nominations: Gounod’s Faust on Bru Zane Matthias Goerne’s Schumann Lieder on Harmonia Mundi Prokofiev’s Romeo & Juliet choreographed by John Cranko on C Major Marx’s Herbstymphonie on CPO Weinberg symphonies on DG Shostakovich piano works on Hyperion Late Beethoven sonatas on Hyperion Korngold orchestral works on Chandos Coates orchestral works on Chandos Music connected to Leonardo da Vinci on Alpha Hyperion was this year’s leading label with nine nominations, just ahead of C Major with eight. MUSICWEB INTERNATIONAL RECORDING OF THE YEAR In this twelve month period, we published more than 2300 reviews. There is no easy or entirely satisfactory way of choosing one above all others as our Recording of the Year, but this year one recording in particular put itself forward as the obvious candidate.

« Leopold Godowsky's Fifty-Three Studies on Chopin's Études »
« Leopold Godowsky’s Fifty-Three Studies on Chopin’s Études » by « Younggun Kim » A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of « Doctor of Musical Arts » « Graduate Department of Music » University of Toronto © Copyright by « Younggun Kim » « 2017 » Leopold Godowsky’s Fifty-Three Studies on Chopin’s Études Younggun Kim Doctor of Musical Arts Graduate Department of Music University of Toronto 2017 Abstract Leopold Godowsky (1870-1937) composed works that require pianistic fluency of an exceptional order, including fifty-three Studies based on twenty-six of Frédéric Chopin’s twenty-seven Études. The purpose of this dissertation is to examine the significance of these Studies and to reveal the compositional techniques that Godowsky used to create them. This dissertation consists of a foreword and seven chapters. The foreword describes the unique position that Godowsky’s Studies occupy in the piano literature and argues that they deserve further scholarly research. Chapter one discusses Godowsky’s life and the composition of the Studies, and it provides a review of relevant literature. Chapter two is divided into ii two sections. The first section proposes five compositional techniques that are used to create the Studies: switch, condensation, superimposition/addition, reconstruction and merging. The second section examines Godowsky’s classification of the Studies into five categories: Strict Transcriptions, Free Transcriptions, Cantus Firmus Versions, Versions in Form of Variations and Metamorphoses. Chapters three, four and five are case studies of selected Studies, arranged by the compositional techniques presented in Chapter two. Chapter three deals with Studies that are composed using switch, superimposition/addition and merging technique.

Producing Evidence for the Beatification of a Composer: Sorabji’S Deijication of Busoni’
Producing Evidence for the Beatification of a Composer: Sorabji’s DeiJication of Busoni’ BY MARC-ANDRÉ ROBERGE There has been in recent years an upsurge of interest in the music of a number of nineteenth and twentieth-century composer-pianists who have long been considered outsiders in European music history, such as Charles-Valentin Alkan (1813-88), Ferruccio Busoni (1866-1924), Leopold Godowsky (1870-1938) and Kaikhosru Shapurji Sorabji (1892-1988). Their status as outsiders resulted mainly from the length and complexity of several of their works and from the lack of clear boundaries between original composition and transcription, in which they had a marked interest. Their works, even though they still appear but rarely on concert programmes, are now performed with increasing frequency. First editions or reprints of their music are issued with some regularity, as are books and articles; furthermore, several enterprising pianists are now recording interesting works and masterpieces long kept in the shadow for lack of suitable performers. As I have shown elsewhere,* all these composers are part of an extensive “Busoni network”, i.e. a group of composers and performers who can be linked in one or more ways to Busoni and, to a lesser extent, to Sorabji: they had studied with Busoni or with one of his pupils; they had performed works by Busoni or Sorabji; they had written about either composer; they had transcribed or edited one or more of their works; finally, they incorporated quotations from their works into their own compositions or used them as models. To this core group of (mostly English- speaking) composers could be added numerous editors, musicologists and writers (also mostly English-speaking) as well as friends and disciples of the composers of the network.

Perpetuated Genius
VERGE 3 Grasso 1 Perpetuated Genius An Exploration of the Bach Legacy through Transcriptions by Franz Liszt, Ferruccio Busoni, and Leopold Godowsky Eliot Grasso © 2005 VERGE 3 Grasso 2 “‘Notation’ (‘writing down’) brings up the subject of Transcription, nowadays a term much misunderstood, almost discreditable. The frequent antagonism which I have excited with ‘transcriptions’, and the opposition to which an oftimes irrational criticism has provoked me, caused me to seek clear understanding of this point. My final conclusion is this: Every notation is, in itself, a transcription of an abstract idea. The instant the pen seizes it, the idea loses its original form.” - Ferruccio Busoni in A New Esthetic of Music (1907) Johann Sebastian Bach, more than any other composer in the sphere of Western art music, has reached what can only be described as the apex of musical immortality. Even during Bach’s lifetime, in an era when travel and communication came at a premium, he was known throughout Germany as an organist of the highest caliber and a consummate composer. Simply put, Bach was a genius, and the music which poured forth from his being can be judged only as such. It is genuine, unique, and above all brilliant, yet it was composed in modesty. Any hint of the pretentious, conceited or tawdry can scarcely be found among the works that bear his name. It is the music of Bach that has been rediscovered, revived, and exalted for the past 250 years. The work of a mere talent hardly enjoys such a phenomenon. One mark of genius is the facility with which a composer’s music is integrated into what is understood to be “classic” or “classical” repertoire.

Biography Praised for “demonstrating exactly how a real musician can possess a limitless reserve of technical strength, (…) always placed in subservience to the uncompromising musical demands of the score” (Musical Opinion) and for his “clarity and exceptional tonal control” (Musical Opinion), Darío Llanos Javierre has been hailed as having an “intellectually probing pianism of forensic intensity, but delivered without fuss or excessive gesture” ( The Liszt Society Newsletter) . He is currently based in Dallas, where he holds a teaching fellowship in the College of Music at the University of North Texas for his Graduate Artist Certificate in Music Performance with Maestro Joseph Banowetz, activity he combines with his performance career, both as a soloist and as a chamber musician, and, currently, with the preparation of the recording of the entire piano works by Spanish composer Miguel del Barco for the To ccata Classics label. In 2014 he was awarded the first prize in the International Piano Prize organised by The Liszt Society in London for his interpretation of the Troisième Année of Liszt’s Années de Pèlerinage. Since then, he is regularly invited by The Liszt Society, The Keyboard Charitable Trust and Master Musicians International to give series of recitals across England. His outstanding acquaintance of Franz Liszt’s work was acknowledged again in 2016, being a prizewinner in the Los Angeles Franz Liszt International Piano Competition. He has performed in recital and as soloist with orchestra in Europe and in the United States., and was recently invited for the XX anniversary of the passing of Spanish pianist Esteban Sánchez to perform Jose Buenagu’s RhapsodyTribute (on pianistic themes by Esteban Sánchez) , followed by Franz Liszt’s Concerto Nº2 in A major, S125, one of Sánchez’s favorites, in Badajoz (Spain) with the Orquesta de Extremadura.
