Rachel Barton Pine “We were really celebrating two great American vio- linists: Maud Powell, a pioneer in music who brought her art to audiences throughout the world as well as great in- tegrity to her art, and Rachel who continues that tradition today as a performer and educator,” Karen explained.

    MPI 0011 New York Times March 26, 1898 FIDDLE AND THE FIDDLER A Story of Maud Powell’s Transition from the Baby Instrument Up to the “Strad” Period. NOT A PRODIGY, JOACHIM SAID But She Had Talent, Which Was Better, and Worked Hard – Difficulty of American Players and Audiences in Overcoming Puritanism. This is a story of Miss Maud Powell and her “fiddle.” The word fiddle is in quotation marks because it is Miss Powell’s word. It does not behoove a stranger who is not on intimate terms with the instrument of instruments to say anything less dignified than violin. “But I should feel that it was almost an insult to call my dear old fiddle of violin,” Miss Powell says. To say ‘fiddle’ is like using the familiar pronoun of the Germans, ‘du,’ ‘thou .’” And the strangers do not say “du” upon first acquaintance, and Miss Powell’s violin is an instrument which should be treated with great respect, not only on general principles, but because of its age and good qualities. It is an Amati, Andreas Amati, and is 300 years old. Miss Powell has been using it for the past eight years. It is an instrument belonging to the collection of E. J. Delehanty, who loaned it to Miss. Powell. It is a “healthy instrument, has good whole word in it, and stands the changes of this climate.” That is a professional criticism and means a great deal. Professional violinists may almost be seen to grow by their violins. Miss Powell, for instance, has about reached the “Strad” period.

  • Pioneer Violin Virtuose in the Early Twentieth Century
    Pioneer Violin Virtuose in the Early Twentieth Century Tatjana Goldberg reveals the extent to which gender and socially constructed identity infl uenced female violinists’ ‘separate but unequal’ status in a great male- dominated virtuoso lineage by focussing on the few that stood out: the American Maud Powell (1867–1920), Australian-born Alma Moodie (1898–1943), and the British Marie Hall (1884–1956). Despite breaking down traditional gender- based patriarchal social and cultural norms, becoming celebrated soloists, and greatly contributing towards violin works and the early recording industry (Powell and Hall), they received little historical recognition. Goldberg provides a more complete picture of their artistic achievements and the impact they had on audiences. Tatjana Goldberg started learning the violin in Croatia, and later went to study violin at the Moscow State Tchaikovsky Conservatoire. In 2016 she was awarded her PhD from City, University of London. She teaches the violin at City, University of London, Middlesex University, the Purcell School, and the Youth Music Centre in London. She has a broad experience as a performer and writer.

  • Selected Students of Leopold Auer: a Study in Violin Performance-Practice
    SELECTED STUDENTS OF LEOPOLD AUER – A STUDY IN VIOLIN PERFORMANCE-PRACTICE by RUTH ELIZABETH RODRIGUES A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Music School of Humanities The University of Birmingham October 2009 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Abstract This thesis investigates the teaching and legacy of Leopold Auer; it addresses, in particular to what extent his promulgation of the ‘German’ School of Violin Playing was instrumental in establishing the ‘Russian’ and ‘American’ Schools. Recent research in late 19th-century violin performance-practice has focused mainly on the ‘German’ and ‘Franco-Belgian’ Schools, and on tracing ‘genealogies’ of violin playing, especially within the ‘German’ school itself. Auer, however, has been little studied, as remarkably is also true for descendents of the German school such as Ossip Schnirlin, Benno Rabinof, and Mischa Weisbord. This research will also briefly examine the authority of Joachim and Auer (who were both native Hungarians) on their students with regards to Hungarian musical gestures and Gypsy performance styles, in an era where violin playing was more uniform and the style hongrois gradually disappearing from Western music altogether.
