Jorg Birkenkotter im Gesprach mit Carolin Naujocks (DeutschlandRadio Berlin, Juli 1994) zum Klavierstuck Schwebung und Strenge: Das Stuck ist ziemlich gefahrlich ..., wenn man es nicht in einem ganz guten Raum hort, mit einer Akustik, in der man wirklich diese Nachhallsachen alle hort, dann kann man ganz schnell sagen, dass ist so traditionelle Wiener Schule-Musik ... Und wenn man dahinter hort, dann hort man eben schon, dass all diese traditionellen Klavier-Figurationen, die so an der Oberflache da sind, standig diese Nachhall-Welt auslosen. Und die ist dann eben doch eine andere, die dahinter ist. Aber es ist eben beides und es halt sich ... in Schach irgendwie. Zumindest am Anfang hort man ganz aufmerksam zu ... sonst hort man nur die virtuose Oberflache. ... Ich wollte nur auf den Tasten spielen: Also ganz normales, konventionelles Klavierspiel, das ist das eine. Und dann, was das auslost bzw. wo das aufgefangen wird ..., da fangt die Klangspielerei an, die vom traditionellen Klavierspiel wegfuhrt. Bezug zur Tradition ist riskant. Aber das macht ja auch nichts. Mir wurde es naturlich etwas ausmachen, wenn das umkippt zur falschen Seite, wenn es doch eben nicht die Ohren auf eine neue Art von Wahrnehmung richtet, was ich schon mochte. Ich will nur nicht die neue Wahrnehmung in irgend einer Wuste suchen, die es, glaube ich, auch gar nicht mehr gibt ... Ich glaube nicht, dass das ein vermittelnder Ansatz ist: Es geht von bestimmten Dingen aus und versucht dann, woanders hin zu kommen. Was soll ich vermitteln: Tradition und Avantgarde? Es ist eine ganz komische Sache: Ich habe Lust, ganz abseits von diesen Sachen etwas auszuprobieren, Sachen zu machen, die ich noch gar nicht gemacht habe, dass diese Sachen bis zu einem gewissen Grad ausgereizt sind. Das ist jetzt alles Spekulation: Da muss ich selbst abwarten, was mit mir passiert.

Composed by Germaine Tailleferre. Piano Music by Tailleferre. Classical : Modern. Score. Musik Fabrik #MFGT056. Published by Musik Fabrik (FA.MFGT056).

8.27 x 11.69 inches.

In 1959, Germaine Tailleferre wrote incidental music for a radio drama based on Philippe Jullian’s « Mémoire d’une bergère » or « Autobiography of an armchair » which traced the owners of this armchair from the court of Louis XV to England after the French Revolution, back to Paris and through the hands of various foreign owners (Arabian, American, German etc.). In illustrating this story Tailleferre used her great knowledge of musical styles to evoke these different settings, from the classical styles of French music of the XVIIIth century to classical, romantic, popular French styles as well as two evocations of American Blues/Ragtime music. These short pieces are interesting in and of themselves, in addition to illustrating Jullian’s story. The first piece may be repeated at the end, as it was in the original radio drama.

NORA’ S DANCE is a jazz-influenced rag from 1921, and among the only surviving compositions by Nora Douglas Holt. A charming and exciting work rejuvenated by Lara Downes’ 2021 recording for the Rising Sun label, the rag is both a fun 2 minutes for pianists and audiences, and also a fascinating time capsule. Composed several years after Scott Joplin’s death, and several years before the Charleston pervaded popular music, NORA’S DANCE blossoms with the energy and jazz harmony starting to emerge as The Roaring 20’s, using ragtime and stride as the seed for pianistic style.
My own life in music has been driven by a quest to find strong female role models, trails to follow, shoulders to stand on. In Nora Douglas Holt, I find an inspiring example of creativity, independence, and resilience – with a dash of troublemaking. She was a free spirit, a force of nature, and she lived a fascinating and eventful life on her own terms. She reinvented herself through five marriages and at least as many careers. From her beginnings at the piano at age four, she explored many avenues of musical expression – performing, composing, music journalism, broadcasting, teaching – all with inventiveness, style, and zeal.She made the most of the Roaring ’20s, as an artist, socialite, jetsetter, muse, and patroness of the Harlem Renaissance. In 1921 she started an independent arts journal called “Music and Poetry,” where the charming piano solo Nora’s Dance was first published. I think the piece captures beautifully, in a little under 2 minutes, the energy and excitement of those heady years.In 1926, Nora left New York to travel the world, performing in nightclubs throughout Europe and Asia. She put her belongings in storage before she left, and when she came back she discovered that many of her things had been stolen, including more than 200 of her musical compositions. She never composed again.When the Depression hit, she moved out to Los Angeles, where she studied music education at USC, taught music in the LA public schools, and opened her own beauty salon. She returned to New York in the ’40s and worked as a music critic for several major newspapers, then launched yet another career, this time in broadcasting. Her popular radio concert series “Nora Holt’s Concert Showcase” broadcast to New York’s classical music audience, with a focus on Black composers and performers.Ahead of her time, larger than life, full of ideas…. I am so pleased to introduce you to the feisty and free spirited Nora Douglas Holt!

Commi ssioned by Radio France and premiered by the dedicatee Bertrand Chamayou in Paris at the beginning of 2023, the ten-minute work follows the Beethovenian 'development type'. Like Höller's two preceding piano sonatas, it is a one-movement piece. At the centre is the processing of one harmonic, one rhythmic, one scale element each, as well as a 'sound form' as it determines Höller's entire compositional thinking. It is formed from three phrases of 6, 7 and 8, i.e. 21, tones, and 'at times appears like a kind of cantus firmus', according to the composer. The interplay between these very different poles unfolds in many virtuoso figurations, which aresometimes reminiscent of Debussy and which require a meticulous dose of pedaling.

Morton Gould composed brilliantly for orchestra, Broadway, film, television, ballet and piano. He became nationally recognized through his work in radio, where he introduced many of his own compositions in a light, distinctly American style. This arrangement of his Pavanne, from Symphonette No. 2, is for 2 pianos, and it is unusually bright and sprightly (and almost jazzy) for what is traditionally a slower and statelier dance form. It has distinctly American and popular styling and is appropriate for two late intermediate level pianists. Two scores are included. A Federation Festivals 2016-2020 selection. A Federation Festivals 2020-2024 selection.
