P o l i s h M u s i c J o u r n a l Vol. 5, No. 2 , Winter ISSN The Writings of Zygmunt Stojowski by Joseph A. Herter Introduction The numerous articles that Stojowski penned show the composer-pianist-pedagogue in still another light: as a writer and musicologist. His biographical articles on composers include ones on Chopin and recollections of two others whom he knew personally - Brahms and Paderewski. As a pianist and pedagogue expressing himself in written word, we can find articles on piano performance and interpretation as well as many "Master Lessons" which appeared in The Etude magazine. As a composer, we find him authoring articles that reflect his philosophy of music and give his opinions on the contemporary music of his day. As a musicologist, though, Stojowski can be found at his best in writing about the music of his native Poland and in the unpublished commentary of Chopin's Mazurkas, which accompany his own fingered and pedaled edition of these pieces that were also never published, save for the exception of one. The articles listed here are written in Polish and English. Native English speakers will not only admire Stojowski's flawless grasp of the English language, but they will also be amazed to know that English was not the musician's second language. It was his fifth. A polyglot, Stojowski first became fluent in Polish, Russian, French and German before he moved to America, where he also mastered Spanish with the help of his Peruvian-born wife Luisa Morales-Macedo and - to a lesser extent - Portuguese with the help of one of his students - Guiomar Novaes. The multilingual Pole also had a working knowledge of ancient Latin and Greek. He shared his knowledge of Latin with his youngest son Ignatius, becoming his son's first Latin teacher prior to his entry into a Jesuit seminary.

PREMIERE OF GÓRECKI'S CANTATA On 21 June 2000 the Choir of the National Philharmonics from Warsaw and an instrumental ensemble of musicians from the Philharmonics, conducted by Henryk Wojnarowski, premiered Henryk Górecki's Salve, sidus Polonorum , Cantata about St. Adalbertus. This world premiere crowned the Polish Day at the EXPO 2000 in Hannover, Germany - a day filled with various attractions, concerts, performances and happenings, including the re-creation of a solemn procession of the two courts of the Polish king, Boles³aw Chrobry and the German emperor, Otto III (who signed a treaty a thousand years earlier). The performances were skillfully organized by the H. Wieniawski Society from Poznañ. Górecki's Cantata was previously scheduled for a premiere in Gniezno, during a solemn event attended by Pope John Paul II, and the presidents of Poland and Germany; however this performance was cancelled by the organizers of this "Millenium Summit." Instead, the work was co-commissioned by EXPO 2000 and the H. Wieniawski Society; Polish TV SA paid for performance and recording rights (and recorded the piece for broadcasts by Polish Radio and the Second Program of Polish TV). The three-part composition, according to reviewer Andrzej Su³ek, "speaks in an original, modern language which is, simultaneously strongly and truly emotional... In the harmonic layer Górecki does not avoid dissonances, in the construction of melodic lines he refers back to the tradition of medieval music, though in the last movement a Polish ear could easily recognize the 'góralska nuta' (the highlander's tune) that reverberates above historical time and context."

P iano , stringed keyboard musical instrument, derived from the harpsichord and the clavichord Early Evolution of the Piano The compass of the early piano was, like that of the harpsichord, only four, or at most, five octaves, but it has gradually increased to a compass of more than seven octaves as structural changes allowed for increases in tension amounting to several tons. Modern Structure Upright pianos include the late 19th-century cottage piano, of which the upright grand is merely a larger form. The modern spinet and console pianos are small uprights related to the cottage piano. In the upright pianos the strings run vertically, or diagonally, from the top to the bottom of the instrument. Uprights and small grands are sometimes overstrung; that is, the bass strings are stretched diagonally across the shorter treble strings, thereby gaining extra length and improved tone quality. The combined tension of the strings on a concert grand piano is about 30 tons, on an upright about 14.

A.E.] At the piano with Ignaz Friedman, by Allan Evans. Friedman's introduction to teaching came as he assisted for four years his own teacher, Theodor Leschetizky (1830-1915), himself a pupil of Beethoven's pupil Czerny. Daily contact with Leschetizky sharpened Friedman's pedagogical abilities even further. Friedman witnessed how his Professor adopted a unique approach to each talent, broadening their playing and refining it into mastery. Friedman recalled : "He was probably the last of the great artists who knew how to unite the sovereign and the Bohemian in one and the same person. He was one of the teachers who knew, who knew positively , when the student had ceased to be a student and had become an artist. Then the man who the day before had played the part of a veritable tyrant, would show himself the day after in the role of an old colleague, ready to consult on a footing of equality with his erstwhile pupil. Though he might have thrown a volume of music at his pupil's head a few hours before, once he felt that the former had crossed the boundary line which separated him from artistic maturity, he would discuss the most delicate nuances of his art with him in the most loyal and open-hearted manner, and permit him to take all sorts of liberties. All this merely because he realized that what had been merely grape juice was turning into wine."

CONCERT EUDÓXIA DE BARROS L’ESPRIT ET LE COEUR Toute la chaleur de l’âme brésiliennne était bien nécessaire pour réchauffer l’ambiance du théâtre Jacques-Coeur, dimanche aprés-midi. Une cinquantaine de spectateurs seulement s’étaient deplacés pour entendre la pianiste brésilienne Eudóxia de Barros. Sans doute la mixité du programme, mêlant musique classique européennne et musique brésiliennne, avait-elle découragé les amateurs uniques de chaque genre, qui pourtant ne sont pas si éloignés l’un de l’autre. Toujours est-il que ce demi-désert aurait pu saper le moral d’une artiste a l’âme moins bien trempée. Mais Eudóxia de Barros n’en avait cure. Elle a joué comme pour une salle comble, avec la même générosité, le même don total. En première partie, avec des oeuvres de Bach, Bartok, Liszt et Moskowsky, elle avait choisi la difficulté, temoignant d’une technique éblouissante, d’une autorité de maitre, d’une virtuosité extraordinaire. Attentive á son art, elle semblait intellectualiser la musique.

Instrumente Klavier , Instrument mit einer Tastatur, die vom Cembalo und vom Clavichord stammt. Die Hämmer und Saiten wurden vom Hackbrett übernommen. Das Klavier unterscheidet sich von seinen Vorgängern grundsätzlich durch seine Hammermechanik, die es dem Spieler erlaubt, durch stärkeres oder schwächeres Betätigen der Tasten laut und leise zu spielen. Aus diesem Grund wurde das früheste bekannte Modell aus dem Jahre 1709 gravicembalo col pian e forte (italienisch für „Cembalo mit leise und laut") genannt. Erbaut wurde es von Bartolomeo Cristofori, einem florentinischen Cembalobauer, der generell als Erfinder des Klaviers genannt wird. Zwei seiner Klaviere existieren heute noch: Das Gehäuse des einen, im Jahr 1720 gebaut, steht im Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, das andere, 1726 geschaffen, ist in einem Museum in Leipzig zu besichtigen. Entwicklung des Klaviers Der Tonumfang des frühen Klaviers betrug, wie der des Cembalos, nur vier, höchstens fünf Oktaven. Mit den zahlreichen Verbesserungen jedoch wurden Saitenspannungen von mehreren Tonnen möglich, was im Laufe der Zeit zur Erhöhung des Tonumfangs auf mehr als sieben Oktaven führte. Ein Bösendorfer-Modell besitzt einen Tonumfang von acht Oktaven. Die beiden heute hergestellten Hauptformen sind der Flügel mit einem waagrechten, auf Beinen ruhenden Gehäuse und das Piano mit einem senkrechten Saitenbezug. Moderne Bauweise Zu den Pianos gehört das Pianino des späten 19. Jahrhunderts, das in etwas größerer Form als Konzertpianino verwendet wird. In einem Piano verlaufen die Saiten senkrecht oder diagonal von oben nach unten. Bei Pianos sind die Saiten in der Regel über Kreuz gespannt, d. h., die Basssaiten sind schräg über die kürzeren Saiten der oberen Tonlagen gespannt. Diese Anordnung spart Platz und sorgt dafür, dass die Spannung gleichmäßig über den Rahmen verteilt ist: Die Gesamtspannung der Saiten kann bei einem Konzertflügel bis zu 30 Tonnen, bei einem Piano rund 14 Tonnen betragen.

Home Biography Repertoire CDs Home Biography Repertoire CDs ... Contact By the time she was seventeen, it was clear that Clélia needed to spread her wings and her parents decided that she should study abroad. She won a scholarship to London to study with the highly reputed, Maria Curcio, who was a former pupil of the pianist great, Arthur Schnabel. Clélia also studied with Christopher Elton at the Royal Academy of Music who encouraged Clélia to play new repertoire, whilst trying to "tame a little bit of her wild Latin American spirit". It was during these years that Clélia worked on her chamber music playing, studying harmony, counterpoint and conducting and she won several prizes including the coveted Recital Diploma. It was also when she met her future husband, Renato, who was also studying piano there. However, probably the greatest teacher of all was Mercês de Silva Telles, a Brazilian piano teacher who studied with Claudio Arrrau who she met after winning the Santander competition in 1987. Other awards have included winning top prizes at the Tunbridge Wells Piano Competition in Kent, the Paloma O'Shea Award in Santander and Pilar Bayona in Zaragoza. Although she returns home to Brazil two or three times a year, Clélia has made London her home. She married Renato in 1989 and although he no longer professionally plays piano, they often play duets together at various local concerts. Nowadays, more of his time is spent with their two children Raphael (8 years old) and Maria Clara (6 years old) watching their mother perform professionally throughout the U.K., including her recitals and concerto performances at the Wigmore Hall, Purcell Room, Queen Elizabeth Hall, St John's Smith Square and major music societies throughout the country. Overseas, Clélia has played concerts tours and recitals in Brazil, Argentina, Canada, France, Portugal, Spain, Norway, Sweden, Venezuela, the former Yugoslavia, the Czech Republic and USA. In between such engagements, Clélia also regularly appears in radio and television broadcasts in several countries such as Brazil, Venezuela, France, Spain and the U.K. Recent engagements include a recital at the Wigmore Hall where she played the "world premiere" of Marlos Nobre's Sonata Breve, a tour in Sweden with the Vasteras Sinfonietta, the UK, a tour in Norway with the Kristiansand Chamber Orchestra, Portugal and in Brazil recitals and concerts with the Orquestra Petrobras Pro-Musica and Orquestra Sinfonica da Bahia. Over the past few years, Clélia's unique mastery had been captured on disc. Her first CD with music by Villa-Lobos released by Meridian Records was received to great critical acclaim and has been broadcast in many countries, including the BBC Radio 3 and Classic FM in the U.K. She has also released the recording of Latin American Dances with the Swedish label Intim Musik as well as a disc of Mendelssohn's Piano Concerto No.1 and Concerto for Violin and Piano with Joachim Gustafsson, which was released in December '99 and was chosen by Swedish Radio as the best recording of the Double Concerto in comparison with any other recordings of this work. Her new CD "The Waltz Album" has been well received by the critic and public alike. She will release another CD dedicated to Brazilian Piano Concertos with Lontano and Odaline de la Martinez on the Lorelt label in the New Year. Forthcoming recording projects include a CD with piano music by Lecuona.

The ladies of The Morning Musicals presented their recitals for each other without printed programs, but every few years, through 1908, they published complete printed compilations of those programs, as well as resumes of all their other activities. Those program booklets, along with an early scrapbook and a wealth of other information found at the Onondaga Historical Association was invaluable, as was the knowledgeable and sympathetic assistance of the Historical Association's Edward Lyon and Judy Haven. Information about later activities was less easy to verify. A mass of printed, typed, or handwritten documents found in the CMM office at the Civic Center was useful, but often both incomplete and contradictory.

Selah Site Map Hah Skewl In September 1957, I entered New Trier High School as a freshman. The music bug had not yet permanently bitten me, but my interest was growing. I played trombone in the Cadet Orchestra. That year many things happened that changed my life. It had been over two years since I took either piano or trombone lessons. One day I started playing through volume four of the Michael Aaron piano method book (which I still have) and became inspired to progress through it, so started practicing every day. At the same time I began listening to more records, especially if scores were available. One afternoon I listened to a recording of the popular Mozart Sonata in C Major (K.545) played by Brazilian pianist Guiomar Novaes. Her tone and the sound of the piece captivated me. It may have been the single defining moment of my life because of what followed. I became possessed with the idea of learning to play this Mozart sonata myself, so I asked my father to get me the music next time he went to downtown Chicago. I was sure I could learn to play it. He did, and I did. It was then that I first started practicing piano in earnest, but still without a teacher to guide me, working on pieces that were
