The Application of the Kinesthetic Sense: an Introduction of Body Awareness in Cello Pedagogy and Performance
The Application of the Kinesthetic Sense: An Introduction of Body Awareness in Cello Pedagogy and Performance A document submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in the Performance Studies Division of the College-Conservatory of Music March 2014 by Gustavo Carpinteyro-Lara BM, University of Southern Mississippi, 2001 MM, Bowling Green State University, 2003 Committee Chair: Lee Fiser, BM Abstract This document on cello pedagogy and playing focuses on the importance of the kinesthetic sense as it relates to teaching and performance quality. William Conable, creator of body mapping, has described how the kinesthetic sense or movement sense provides information about the body’s position and size, and whether the body is moving and, if so, where and how. In addition Craig Williamson, pioneer of Somatic Integration, claims that the kinesthetic sense enables one to sense what the body is doing at any time, including muscular effort, tension, relaxation, balance, spatial orientation, distance, and proportion. Cellists can develop and awaken the kinesthetic sense in order to have conscious body awareness, and to understand that cello playing is a physical, aerobic, intellectual, and musical activity. This document describes the physical, motion, aerobic, anatomic, and kinesthetic approach to cello playing and is supported by somatic education methods, such as the Alexander Technique, Feldenkrais Method, and Yoga. By applying body awareness and kinesthesia in cello playing, cellists can have freedom, balance, ease in their movements, and an intelligent way of playing and performing. ii Copyright © 2014 by Gustavo Carpinteyro-Lara. -

The Inspiration Behind Compositions for Clarinetist Frederick Thurston
THE INSPIRATION BEHIND COMPOSITIONS FOR CLARINETIST FREDERICK THURSTON Aileen Marie Razey, B.M., M.M. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 201 8 APPROVED: Kimberly Cole Luevano, Major Professor Warren Henry, Committee Member John Scott, Committee Member John Holt, Chair of the Division of Instrumental Studies Benjamin Brand, Director of Graduate Studies in the College of Music John Richmond, Dean of the College of Music Victor Prybutok, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Razey, Aileen Marie. The Inspiration behind Compositions for Clarinetist Frederick Thurston. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), August 2018, 86 pp., references, 51 titles. Frederick Thurston was a prominent British clarinet performer and teacher in the first half of the 20th century. Due to the brevity of his life and the impact of two world wars, Thurston’s legacy is often overlooked among clarinetists in the United States. Thurston’s playing inspired 19 composers to write 22 solo and chamber works for him, none of which he personally commissioned. The purpose of this document is to provide a comprehensive biography of Thurston’s career as clarinet performer and teacher with a complete bibliography of compositions written for him. With biographical knowledge and access to the few extant recordings of Thurston’s playing, clarinetists may gain a fuller understanding of Thurston’s ideal clarinet sound and musical ideas. These resources are necessary in order to recognize the qualities about his playing that inspired composers to write for him and to perform these works with the composers’ inspiration in mind. Despite the vast list of works written for and dedicated to Thurston, clarinet players in the United States are not familiar with many of these works, and available resources do not include a complete listing. -

Critical Success Factors in Cello Training a Comparative Study
Critical success factors in cello training a comparative study by Anzél Gerber Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree PhD Music (Performance Practice) in the Department of Music Goldsmiths College, University of London Supervisor Professor Alexander Ivashkin 2008 (ii) DECLARATION I, Anzél Gerber, the undersigned, hereby declare that this dissertation, submitted in partial fulfilment for the degree PhD Music (Performance Practice), is my own original work. Signed: _______________________ Anzél Gerber (iii) ABSTRACT The research focused on the identification and ranking of critical success factors that contribute most significantly towards the training of a cello student. The empirical study was based on a sample of cello teachers in four countries selected for the study, namely Germany, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States of America. A literature study, identifying a broad category of factors that could contribute towards successful cello training, formed the basis of the questionnaire. These critical success factors included the quality of the teacher, acquired skills, the talent and giftedness of the student, support rendered to the student, and the curriculum. Each of these factors comprised five sub factors. The respondents were required to rank these factors in order of importance. In the final analysis, they were requested to rank the five main factors. A statistical process of ranking (forced ranking) and Kruskal-Wallis was applied to rank and analyse the responses of the cello teachers in the survey. The critical success factors that contribute the most significantly towards successful cello training were identified and compared. ________________________________ (iv) PREFACE This study is in partial fulfilment for the degree PhD Music Performance at Goldsmiths College, University of London. -

A Pedagogical Analysis of Dvorak's Cello Concerto in B Minor, Op
A Pedagogical Analysis of Dvorak’s Cello Concerto in B Minor, Op. 104 by Zhuojun Bian B.A., The Tianjin Normal University, 2006 M.Mus., University of Victoria, 2011 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Cello) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) April 2017 © Zhuojun Bian, 2017 Abstract I first heard Antonin Dvorak’s Cello Concerto in B Minor, Op. 104 when I was 13 years old. It was a memorable experience for me, and I was struck by the melodies, the power, and the emotion in the work. As I became more familiar with the piece I came to understand that it holds a significant position in the cello repertory. It has been praised extensively by cellists, conductors, composers, and audiences, and is one of the most frequently performed cello concertos since it was premiered by the English cellist Leo Stern in London on March 19th, 1896, with Dvorak himself conducting the Philharmonic Society Orchestra. In this document I provide a pedagogical method as a practical guide for students and cello teachers who are planning on learning this concerto. Using a variety of historical sources, I provide a comprehensive understanding of some of the technical challenges presented by this work and I propose creative and effective methods for conquering these challenges. Most current studies of Dvorak’s concerto are devoted to the analysis of its structure, melody, harmony, rhythm, texture, instrumentation, and orchestration. Unlike those studies, this thesis investigates etudes and student concertos that were both precursors to – and contemporary with – Dvorak’s concerto. -

When Jacqueline was four years oldshe was very impressed when she heard the cello for the first time on the radio. From that moment on, her greatest pleasure was listening to the sound of this curious musical instrument. Her teacher was William Pleeth. Her sister Hilary played the transverse flute, and both competed delighted to hear each other. Two years later, the quality of her cello performances was so remarkable that she performed her first concert at the BBC in London. She was only 12 years old. After her studies in London, she continued to perfect herself with the teacher Paul Tortelier in Paris, with the great Rostropovich in Russia and, no less, than with Pau Casals in Switzerland.

Cello Concerto Jacqueline Du Pré: the Concerto's Consummate Interpreter?
Cello Concerto Jacqueline du Pré: The concerto's consummate interpreter? Section 1 - Introduction The release of the film, Hilary & Jackie, has created a fresh wave of interest in the genius of Jacqueline du Pré. "Jackie", as she was called, was the greatest cellist of her generation, and many people consider her the finest interpreter of Elgar's Cello Concerto. The film is based on the book A Genius in the Family by du Pré's sister Hilary and her brother Piers (Chatto & Windus, 1997). In the book's preface, the du Prés explain that it is not a biography: "These are our memories. This book is not a biography, nor an account of Jackie's career. It is simply what happened. We offer the reader the story of our family, from within." Jacqueline du Pré Both book and film have caused a storm of controversy, with some critics complaining about its "lack of objectivity". But the du Prés' intent was to describe the Jackie they knew, not the world-famous musician. The public Jackie is well-documented in another new book, Jacqueline du Pré (Weidenfield & Nicolson, 1998), written byElizabeth Wilson with the assistance of du Pré's husband, Daniel Barenboim. A cellist herself, Wilson includes insightful comments about du Pré's recorded performances. Another excellent biography is Carol Easton's Jacqueline du Pré(Hodder & Stoughton, 1989), currently out-of-print but well worth looking for. This biographical sketch draws on all three sources. Section 2 - Starting at Oxford Jacqueline du Pré's parents met through the sheerest of circumstances. Her father,Derek du Pré was a thirty-year-old London editor in 1938 London when he won a trip to Poland. -
