Download or read book The Two Cello Concertos of Victor Herbert written by Mon Yun Amy Hsieh and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: n the early years of the twentieth century, Victor Herbert (1859-1924) was one of the most talented and versatile composers in American music. Although Herbert's 'serious' instrumental music had not surpassed his 'light' operettas, his 'serious' vein had been the main focus of his life up until 1894. As an artistic cellist, Herbert composed a large number of cello works, among which I will focus on his two cello concertos: Concerto Op. 8 and Concerto Op. 30. In the history of the cello concerto, Herbert's two concertos certainly stand as an influential monument for his fellow composers, especially his Concerto Op. 30, which inspired Dvorak to write his Cello Concerto in B minor, Op. 104. These two concertos show his distinguished compositional style and ability in 'serious' music. Continuing the stream of the classical concerto, the Concerto Op. 8 consists of a conventional three-movement frame and each movement displays a traditional formal structure. On the other hand, the Concerto Op. 30 follows the late Romantic style with its one-movement form, its cyclic elements and thematic transformations that fuse three distinctive movements into one, and most of all, its symphonic orchestration. This study begins with an overview of Herbert's life, his cello works, and his professional career as a composer, a performing cellist, a conductor and an advocate for musician's rights. In the next two chapters offer a detailed analysis of Herbert's Concerto Op. 8 and Concerto Op. 30 respectively, including the historical background, the theoretical concepts of form, the tonal structure, the development of elements, and author's performance practice suggestions. A list of Herbert's Cello Compositions and important recordings are in Appendixes A and B respectively. Unfortunately, the powerful, vigorous, lyrical, passionate and dramatic qualities of Herbert's serious compositions have been ignored by present critics, conductors, performers and audience. I hope this study will bring Herbert's two cello concertos to another triumph since their first premieres in the twenty-first century's music world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Notes for Violists: A Guide to the Repertoire offers historical and analytical information about thirty-five of the best-known pieces for the instrument, making it an essential resource for professional, amateur, and student violists alike. With engaging prose supported by fact-filled analytical charts, the book offers rich biographical information and insightful analyses that help violists gain a more complete understanding of pieces like Béla Bartók's Concerto for Viola and Orchestra, Rebecca Clarke's Sonata for Viola and Piano, Robert Schumann's Märchenbilder for Viola and Piano, op. 113, Carl Stamitz's Concerto for Viola and Orchestra in D Major, Igor Stravinsky's Élégie for Viola or Violin Unaccompanied, and thirty other masterpieces. This comprehensive guide to key pieces from the viola repertoire from the eighteenth through the twentieth century covers concertos, chamber pieces, and works for solo viola by a wide range of composers, including Bach, Telemann, Mozart, Hoffmeister, Walton, and Hindemith. Author David M. Bynog not only offers clear structural analyses of these compositions but also situates them in their historical contexts as he highlights crucial biographical information on composers and explores the circumstances of the development and performance of each work. By connecting performance studies with scholarship, this indispensable handbook for students and professionals allows readers to gain a more complete picture of each work and encourages them to approach other compositions in a similarly analytical manner.

Download or read book Understanding Toscanini written by Joseph Horowitz and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1994-01-01 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As America's symbol of Great Music, Arturo Toscanini and the "masterpieces" he served were regarded with religious awe. As a celebrity personality, he was heralded for everything from his unwavering stance against Hitler and Mussolini and his cataclysmic tantrums, to his "democratic" penchants for television wrestling and soup for dinner. During his years with the Metropolitan Opera (1908-15) and the New York Philharmonic (1926-36) he was regularly proclaimed the "world's greatest conductor ." And with the NBC Symphony (1937-54), created for him by RCA's David Sarnoff, he became the beneficiary of a voracious multimedia promotional apparatus that spread Toscanini madness nationwide. According to Life, he was as well-known as Joe Dimaggio; Time twice put him on its cover; and the New York Herald Tribune attributed Toscanini's fame to simple recognition of his unique "greatness." In this boldly conceived and superbly realized study, Joseph Horowitz reveals how and why Toscanini became the object of unparalleled veneration in the United States. Combining biography, cultural history, and music criticism, Horowitz explores the cultural and commercial mechanisms that created America's Toscanini cult and fostered, in turn, a Eurocentric, anachronistic new audience for old music.

Download or read book "On My Way": The Untold Story of Rouben Mamoulian, George Gershwin, and Porgy and Bess written by Joseph Horowitz and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2013-07-29 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A revelatory history of the operatic masterpiece that both made and destroyed Rouben Mamoulian, its director and unsung hero. "Bring my goat!" Porgy exclaims in the final scene of Gershwin’s opera Porgy and Bess. Bess, whom he loves, has left for New York City, and he’s determined to find her. When his request is met with astonishment—New York is a great distance from South Carolina’s Catfish Row—Porgy remains undaunted. He mounts his goat-cart and leads the community in an ecstatic finale, "Oh Lawd, I’m on my way." Stephen Sondheim has called "Bring my goat!" "one of the most moving moments in musical theater history." For years it was assumed that DuBose Heyward—the author of the seminal novella and subsequent play, Porgy, and later the librettist for the opera Porgy and Bess—penned this historic line. In fact, both it and "Oh Lawd, I'm on my way" were added to the play eight years earlier by that production’s unheralded architect: Rouben Mamoulian. Porgy and Bess as we know it would not exist without the contributions of this master director. Culling new information from the recently opened Mamoulian Archives at the Library of Congress, award-winning author Joseph Horowitz shows that, more than anyone else, Mamoulian took Heyward's vignette of a regional African-American subculture and transformed it into an epic theater work, a universal parable of suffering and redemption. Part biography, part revelatory history, "On My Way" re-creates Mamoulian's visionary style on stage and screen, his collaboration with George Gershwin, and the genesis of the opera that changed the face of American musical life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The perils of equating notions of freedom with artistic vitality Eloquently extolled by President John F. Kennedy, the idea that only artists in free societies can produce great art became a bedrock assumption of the Cold War. That this conviction defied centuries of historical evidence--to say nothing of achievements within the Soviet Union--failed to impact impregnable cultural Cold War doctrine. Joseph Horowitz writes: “That so many fine minds could have cheapened freedom by over-praising it, turning it into a reductionist propaganda mantra, is one measure of the intellectual cost of the Cold War.” He shows how the efforts of the CIA-funded Congress for Cultural Freedom were distorted by an anti-totalitarian “psychology of exile” traceable to its secretary general, the displaced Russian aristocrat/composer Nicolas Nabokov, and to Nabokov’s hero Igor Stravinsky. In counterpoint, Horowitz investigates personal, social, and political factors that actually shape the creative act. He here focuses on Stravinsky, who in Los Angeles experienced a “freedom not to matter,” and Dmitri Shostakovich, who was both victim and beneficiary of Soviet cultural policies. He also takes a fresh look at cultural exchange and explores paradoxical similarities and differences framing the popularization of classical music in the Soviet Union and the United States. In closing, he assesses the Kennedy administration’s arts advocacy initiatives and their pertinence to today’s fraught American national identity. Challenging long-entrenched myths, The Propaganda of Freedom newly explores the tangled relationship between the ideology of freedom and ideals of cultural achievement.
