This
work follows my Quartet
No. 1 by five years. In
terms of style and
aesthetic aim, however,
it seems light years
away. Where the first
work, a 28-minute,
four-movement piece, took
aim at cosmic conflicts
and heroic resolutions,
the present work is
intended as a kind of
divertissment. Harbor
Music lasts a mere eleven
minutes, is cast in a
single movement with six
sections, and should
leave both performers and
listeners with a feeling
of good humor and
affection. The
title comes from my
experience as a guest in
the magnificent city of
Sydney, Australia. One of
its most attractive
features is its unique
system of ferry boats:
the city is laid out
around a large,
multi-channeled harbor,
with destinations more
easily approached by
water than by land.
Consequently, inhabitants
of Sydney get around on
small, people-friendly
boats that come and go
from the central docks at
Circular Quay. During a
week's visit in 1991, I
must have boarded these
boats at least a dozen
times, always bound for a
new location - the resort
town of Manley, or the
Zoo at Taronga Park, or
the shopping district at
Darling Harbour.
In casting about for a
form for my second string
quartet, a kind of loose
rondo came to mind. Each
new destination would be
approached from the same
starting-out point
(although there are
subtle variations in the
repeating theme; it's
always in a new key, and
the texture is never the
same). The result, I
hope, is a sense of
constant new information
presented with
introductory frames of a
more familiar nature.
The embarkation
theme, which begins the
piece, is a sort of
bi-tonal fanfare in which
the violins are in G
major and the viola and
cello are in B-flat
major. It is bold, eager,
and forward-looking. The
first voyage maintains
this bi-tonality,
beginning as a 9/8 due
for second violin and
viola in a kind of
rocking motion -much as a
boat produces when
reaching the deeper water
in the harbor. A sweet,
nostalgic theme emerges
over this rocking
accompaniment. This music
is developed somewhat,
then transforms quickly
into a much faster and
lighter episode, filled
with rising and falling
scales (again, in
differing keys). A
scherzando interlude in
short notes and changing
meters provides contrast,
and the episode ends with
a reprise of the scales.
The second
embarkation follows, this
time in A major/C major.
It leads quickly into a
very warm and slow theme,
in wide-leaping intervals
for the viola. This
section is interrupted
twice by solo cadenzas
for the cello, suggesting
distant boat-horns in
major thirds. The end of
the episode becomes a
transition, with
boat-horns leading into
the final appearance of
the embarkation music,
this time in trills and
tremolos instead of
sharply accented chords.
The nostalgic theme of
the first episode makes a
final appearance, serving
now as a coda. The
rocking motion continues,
in a lullaby fashion,
leaving us drowsy and
satisfied on our homeward
journey. Harbor
Music was written for the
Cavani Quartet, and is
dedicated to Richard J.
Bogomolny. Commissioned
by his employees at First
National Supermarkets as
a gift, it represents a
thank you from many of
the people (including
this composer) who have
benefitted from his
vision and generosity. An
ardent advocate of
chamber music (and a
cellist himself), Mr.
Bogomolny has for many
years been Chairman of
the Board of Chamber
Music America. -- Dan
Welcher.

Work note
by the composer:
When I received the news
of this commission, I had
no idea what it would
lead to. Writing for
guitar solo is not the
same as composing for
orchestra where you have
forty voices where you
can easily mask an entire
section. Here you are
very naked to the
bone. The starting
point for this work was
from J.S. Bach's Chaconne
in D-minor that Johannes
had performed in concert,
originally written for
violin but there is a
version transcribed for
guitar and piano made by
Ferruccio Busoni. When I
went to Cortona (in
Tuscany, Italy) completed
the southern mentality of
this work. Arpalineais
actually a merged word in
Italian language.
Arpa means
harp, however in a
musical context it's more
or less resembled with
the word arpeggio,
which means broken
chords. Lineameans
line.
The
work is divided in three
parts. I. Arpeggio:
It starts with an opening
chaconne-like sequence
and is marked with a
certain depth in which
the chords starts to
separate from the organum
note in the bass and it
culminates into a section
called with rhythmical
focus. These sections
alternates, variates
which each other. The
middle section has a
playful and childish
atmosphere where the
guitarist knocks on the
body of the guitar
resembling a Spanish folk
instrument cajon. This is
leading to a section
which tends more to a
very aggressive
fusion-like riff that
loses control and reaches
its climax at the
end.
II. Linea:
The static rhytmical
pulse is now
disintegrated and it
forms more or less sort
of a free,
improvisational state in
a rubatolike tempo. The
character is described as
a very hot day with
temperatures rising above
37! C (or 100! F) where
you can hardly do
anything just sitting
dozed off and pespiring
because of the extreme
heat watching a huge fog
coming up in the evening
that spreads around the
Tuscan atmosphere.
III. Finale: It
starts off with fast
one-note ostinati then
more and more notes pop
up like a gradual rain
storm with thunder
strikes! And eventually
it leads to that is a
large flood through the
streets of an medieval
Southern town. The work
ends with a short circuit
slapped strings along
with extremely fast
tremolos that reaches
higher and louder as
possible!

The concerto has five
movements played without
pause. The beginning
Tempestoso is dramatic
and powerful, but there
is also a beautiful, slow
middle section. The
second movement consists
of a virtuosic solo
cadenza, which is
dominated by mysterious
tremolos on the
clarinet.The cadenza
leads to Vivace, con
brio, which is the
central climax of the
concerto and the most
virtuosic movement both
for the orchestra and the
soloist. Then follows the
slow, melancholic and
lyrical fourth movement
Adagio, mesto. The
Epilogue is slow, too;
the atmosphere of the
last movement is unreal,
mysterious. The solo part
at the end consists
largely of broken,
multiphonic clarinet
sounds before the
concerto fades out into a
silence.

The
hand truly is quicker
than the eye in this
whimsical piece for
developing strings! Using
mostly stepwise motion,
it is a wonderful study
in legato and staccato
styles. Written tremolos
can be played at the
director's discretion
while optional, carefully
scored percussion parts
will certainly add to the
intrigue. Pure magic!

Associating
the term “Sturm und
Drang†with
Haydn’s creative
period from ca. 1765 to
ca. 1772 is considered
controversial among
scholars, but it does
describe a unique group
of works within his
symphonies: works
characterised by an
impetuous, colourful
tonal language, featuring
minor keys prominently,
with rapid tempo
sequences and effects
taken from contemporary
opera such as tremolos
and
recitatives.
The
Symphony in E minor Hob.
I:44 was composed towards
the end of this creative
period and certainly
showcases the
“Sturm und
Drang†dramatic
style with its resolute
unison main theme in the
opening movement, a
sustained dance and
sensitive slow movement
as well as a Presto
finale. The work received
the nickname
“Mourningâ€
Symphony in recent
reception history because
of its melancholic
character and the
anecdote that Haydn chose
the third movement
(Adagio) as his funeral
music. Continuing the
cooperation between
Bärenreiter and the G.
Henle publisher regarding
Haydn’s
large-scale choral works,
operas and symphonies,
this edition is based on
the G. Henle Complete
Edition of the
“Works of Joseph
Haydnâ€.

Dediche<
/i> is a series of short
miniature pieces for solo
guitar written in 1991 by
Chiara Benati, an
authoritative exponent of
what can be called the
School of Bologna, and
who has devoted many
pages of her catalogue to
the guitar (Chiara won a
first prize in 1986 at
the Competition for
Guitar Composition
organized by the historic
magazine Il
Fronimo). From the
point of view of the
guitar idiom, it is
striking how the
compositional research of
Chiara Benati (who does
not play the guitar) has
penetrated deeply into
the nature of the
instrument. In my job of
adding the fingering to
the pieces, I started
from the precise
indications concerning
the strings already
provided by the Composer,
who meticulously imagined
the instrumental result
created by the play of
resonances and the
consequent precise
distribution of the parts
on different strings (let
us think of the tremolos
superimposed on different
strings in the second
Dedica and the
counterpoint in three
parts each written on its
own musical stave), with
a skilful use of
glissandos and other
instrumental
effects. From the
musical point of view, a
similar meticulousness in
writing is evident,
shown, for example, by
indicating the temporal
separation between the
figures by means of their
spatial distance
indicated in the
score. The result is
an instrumentally and
musically rigorous
writing which also helps
the performer by
appealing to his ability
to empathize, following
the indications written
in the score and in the
key, with the expressive
atmosphere of the work,
and through that specific
aspect of controlled
performance flexibility
and sound sensitivity
necessary to render it
properly. These
delicate miniatures,
suffused with mystery and
melancholy, and so
masterfully written for
the guitar, are in my
opinion an important
addition to the
contemporary repertoire
of the instrument.

Designed to
introduce the young
intermediate-level
pianist to playing the
blues, Jazzin the Blues
presents fifteen original
blues compositions in
various keys, styles and
grooves together with
downloadable recordings
of 40 of the 50 examples
in the book. The audio
tracks are presented both
with and without the lead
piano part, so the
student can play along
with a professional
rhythm section which
includes piano,
vibraphone, alto flute,
drums, and
bass.Historical and
performance notes are
provided with each blues
composition. The author
enlisted the skills of
jazz pianist Charlie
Freeman in editing the
book and providing
fingering for both the
treble and bass piano
parts, making these
pieces more accessible to
novice players. If your
knowledge of blues theory
or terminology is
lacking, this is the book
for you. Author Vince
Corozine thoroughly
explores and
demonstrates: blues and
pentatonic scale theory,
blue notes, grace notes,
pedal-points, tremolos,
trills, syncopation,
anticipation, delayed
beats, slash chords,
boogie-woogie left-hand
patterns, walking bass,
stride piano style,
straight eighths, swing
eighths, passing tones,
rolled chords, riffs,
filler chords,
substitutions, and
comping styles. This book
also includes essential
blues chord theory as
well as tips on tasteful
chord voicing presented
in the context of
accompanying a soloist
comping ; in addition,
the chord progressions
represented by the
written notation are
carefully annotated in
every example in the
book. The Appendix
includes helpful tips on
comping, practice, and
jazz soloing, plus a list
of noteworthy jazz
pianists, a key to chord
symbols, and a glossary
of jazz terms used in the
book.If you are not a
competent blues pianist
when you first pick up
this book, you will be by
the time you complete it.

With
the title of this
composition, Fever
Fantasy, Jorg Widmann
refers to its musical
air: 'I often feel Robert
Schumann's melodic shape
to be like the amplitude
of a temperature curve:
nervous,
flickering,
feverish, an
infinite number of
small and large wave
crests and troughs within
the principal line.'The
composer approaches this
sound phenomenon with a
setting for acoustic
instruments.
Nevertheless, he succeeds
in conjuring up very
unusual sound spectrums.
Over long sections, the
notation of this score
mirrors the musical
progressions, containing
no concrete pitches but
detailed performance
instructions instead.
Slowly, individual tones
emergefrom ascending
pizzicato lines,
colourless sound
surfaces, sounds of
harmonics roughened by
tremolos, and virtuoso
clarinet scales, tones
that do not reveal their
origin until the work
ends: C - F - E - D
sharp, the beginning of
Schumann's first
violin sonata.
