Biography / Autobiography / Art / Film and Theater / Media Studies - Film A Fiddler's Tale How Hollywood and Vivaldi Discovered Me Louis Kaufman Foreword by Jim Svejda, Postscript by Annette Kaufman This fascinating memoir, written by one of the greatest American violinists of the twentieth century, recounts an extraordinary life in music. Once called by the New York Times "a violinist's violinist and a musician's musician," Louis Kaufman was born in 1905 in Portland, Oregon. He studied violin with Franz Kneisel at New York's Institute of Musical Art. He was the original violist of the Musical Art Quartet (1926–1933) and won the Naumburg Award in 1928, the year of his American solo recital debut in New York's Town Hall. During these early years, he played chamber music with Pablo Casals, Mischa Elman, Jascha Heifetz, Fritz Kreisler, Gregor Piatigorsky, and Efrem Zimbalist, among others.

66. Sleeve Notes - Sammons: 'The English Kreisler' A Russian flavour inhabits the Canzonetta (1922) which was dedicated to mischa elman,the American violinist of Russian birth who made his sensational debut in http://www.hyperion-records.co.uk/notes/67096.html

ALBERT SAMMONS (1886-1957) 'The English Kreisler' Excerpts from the sleeve notes As Eric Wetherell's biography tells us, Albert Sammons (1886-1957) came from humble stock. His father, a shoemaker by trade, was an amateur violinist who taught his son to play from the age of seven. By the age of twelve he gained his first professional engagement in the orchestra at the Earl's Court Exhibition and was soon asked to lead. Even by then the prodigious technique and extraordinary character were beginning to emerge in his playing. On leaving school at the end of 1898 he made his living in hotel and theatre bands, using what free time he had to hear the likes of Joachim, Lady Hallé, Elman, Sarasate and Kubelik at Queen's Hall. He also took some lessons with Alfredo Fernandez, a pupil of Ysaÿe and, later, with John Saunders, a pupil of Molique. This, however, appears to have been the sum total of his training; the rest, it would seem, came from instinct and a natural affinity for the instrument. By 1906 Sammons was well known on the hotels circuit, leading the orchestras at Romano's Restaurant, the Victoria Lounge Hotel and the Carlton Hotel, and he led Lazarre's Royal Roumanian Orchestra, which appeared at the Grand Hotel, Harrogate. In that most celebrated of spa towns, Sammons made his first serious solo appearance in the Kursaal, playing Mendelssohn's Concerto. It was to remain a fond memory for the rest of his life. Soon after Sammons's career began to advance, he was asked in 1907 to lead the London String Quartet (which he did until 1916), and he became leader of the Beecham Orchestra in 1909. Still the theatre, hotel and pier jobs continued to supplement his income as an orchestral player, but he was nevertheless now regarded as one of the top professionals in London. Then came his break with the Elgar Concerto and thereafter Sammons never looked back.

Piotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky CONCERTO IN D MAJOR FOR VIOLIN AND ORCHESTRA, Opus 35 Eugene Onegin keynote Franz Schmidt SYMPHONY NUMBER 4 IN C MAJOR Schmidt was born in Pressburg (now Bratislava) on December 22, 1874; he died in Perchtoldsdorf, near Vienna, February 11, 1939. He composed the Fourth Symphony in 1932-33. It was first performed in Vienna in 1934. cso premiere: These are the first CSO performances of the Symphony. The Book with Seven Seals Schmidt composed three works for pianist Paul Wittgenstein, brother of the philosopher, who had lost his right arm during the First World War. Wittgenstein respected the pieces Schmidt wrote for him even more than the music he had commissioned from such better known composers as Ravel, Strauss, Britten, Hindemith, and Prokofiev. keynote A transition links the third movement to the finale, which returns to the dark mood of the first movement. This brief, understated movement functions as much like an epilogue as like a recapitulation. The opening trumpet music returns with touching poignancy, at first accompanied by strings but at its final note alone in isolation.

68. Air For The G String Explained The RussianAmerican violinist mischa elman (1891-1967) helped popularize this arrangementin concert and recordings, and thus brought renown to the movement http://www.bachfaq.org/airforg.html

What's Air for the G String The piece behind the name is the Air from Bach's Orchestral Suite in D BWV 1068, scored for four-part string orchestra. This brief movement, a gem of lyric melody, quiet counterpoint , and the masterful orchestration (in the poetic sense) of poignant, inward feeling, was arranged for violin solo with piano accompaniment by the German violinist August Wilhelmj (1845-1908). Transposed into C, the entire solo part (which was the first violin part in the original) fits comfortably on the G string, the lowest and darkest of the violin, and thus, Wilhelmj called it Air for the G String . The Russian-American violinist Mischa Elman (1891-1967) helped popularize this arrangement in concert and recordings, and thus brought renown to the movement behind it. Even though since transcribed for and played on a wide variety of other instruments and media, as well as often in its original form, the name "Air for the G String" now seems inseparably tied to the Air from the Bach's Suite in D Anyone interested in this famous piece might also want to see our awsopafg.html

His critically acclaimed recordings of works by Mendelssohn, Tchaikovsky, Lalo, Saint-Saens, Chausson, Wieniawski, Rimsky-Korsakov, Sarasate , and Ysay are supplemented by his premiere recordings of concertos by Joachim, Hubay, Ernst, Arensky , and Godard , as well as the complete Humoresques by Sibelius Rosand is currently The Dorothy Richard Starling Chair in Violin Studies at the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia.

We are very fortunate today to have one of the premier violinists of our century, Aaron Rosand, talking to us about his violin playing, classical music, and the MP3 phenomenon on the Internet. Good morning, Mr. Rosand. Aaron Rosand: Good Morning. Tell us a little bit more about these traditions of violin playing. What does this mean to say that you "carry on the traditions of two schools of violin playing" and how is that you've developed in two traditions simultaneously?

February 18, 2001 Echoing the past, shaping futures; At 73, master performer and teacher Aaron Rosand has found new skills and enthusiasm to blend with his experience. by Tim Smith The Baltimore Sun PHILADELPHIA There's a time machine in a former mansion overlooking Philadelphia's Rittenhouse Square. It's in a spacious, elegantly appointed, second-floor room, and it gets turned on every time Aaron Rosand teaches violin there. This machine does not so much transport people back in time as bring the past forward. It's a stimulating, invaluable process. Since 1981, Rosand has been on the faculty of the Curtis Institute of Music, where he was once a student in that very room. His mentor there was violinist and Curtis director Efrem Zimbalist, one of the finest practitioners of the Russian romantic violin tradition a tradition that emphasizes vibrant tone; emotional, yet always tasteful, expression; technical virtuosity without ostentation. Today, at 73, the goatee-sporting Rosand carries on that noble teaching tradition, introducing students to the artistic principles that helped to mold his own lifelong career. The lineage behind those principles is impeccable. Zimbalist studied with Leopold Auer, who famously declined the dedication of Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto (he later championed the score) and taught the legendary Jascha Heifetz and Mischa Elman. Auer, in turn, studied with Joseph Joachim, who rubbed shoulders with Mendelssohn and Schumann and became a lifelong friend of Brahms, who wrote his Violin Concerto for him.

Well, this week he revealed all as he played a magnificent violin recital assisted by pianist Dimitriy Cogan. The event was a fundraiser for the Mozart Society of California held at the fabulous Pebble Beach home of Jean Hurd. Simply stated, Mr. Barbini just blew us out of the water. Not only was this masterful artistic playing of the highest order, but also there was an additional high voltage factor of extraordinary passion and commitment in his playing that made it so compelling. A distinguished audience had an opportunity to hear this concert in a lovely spacious room where a panoramic ocean view framed by Monterey pines provided a magical backdrop to some of the best music making heard this season.

West Indies E INDUCTEES Albert Einstein (His last name became synonymous with genius) The greatest physicist of the 20th Century. His ideas revolutionized our entire understanding of the universe. Einstein changed the course of science as much as did Copernicus, Newton and Darwin. His fundamental contribution was the theory of relativity. This has many facets, but for most people the theory means that the faster you travel (approaching the speed of light), the more time slows down. He also was responsible for the formulation E=MC , which describes the relationship between mass and energy. A little mass can give off a lot of energy. Among other things, this formula accounts for the tremendous explosive force given off by an atomic bomb. After his theories gained prominence, Einstein was appointed professor of theoretical physics at the University of Zurich and at the University of Prague. In 1913, he was appointed director of the Kaiser Wilhelm Physical Institute in Berlin. In 1921, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for his research of the photoelectric effect.

...Home Review - Lessons from the Past: Great Violinsts of the Bell Telephone Hour The digital age increasingly gives us the chance to experience performances from an era of less technology and more cultural sophistication. In the late 1950’s and early 1960’s The Bell Telephone Hour was television for the commercial airwaves, that would be unheard of today. Featured on the show were complete movements of major classical repertoire, performed by some of the most renowned artists of the day. A full symphony orchestra was hired just for the occasion, an expense no current television broadcaster would undertake. Digital Transfer by Video Artists International has made it possible for us to watch some of the old tapes of the show in a DVD entitled Great Violinists of the Bell Telephone Hour . The DVD makes for worthy viewing: Past violin luminaries are revealed, often in very fine form. Taped in 1959, Isaac Stern’s rendition of Camille Saint Saens Rondo Capriccioso is ravishing.
