I was
tempted to call the piece
Throw Back because it
consciously employs
rhythmic and harmonic
approaches characteristic
of the earlier part of
the twentieth century,
much of which plays a
part in forging my
musical personality.
Going along with the
impetus, I have paid
homage by subtly
interpolating stylistic
or actual references to
such unexpected
bedfellows as Scriabin,
Ravel, Debussy, Piston,
Roussel, and Ysaye. I
hope I will be musically
forgiven. In one
continuous movement,
there are three definite
internal sections:
Presto-Largo-Allegro. The
first section opens with
a very soft percussion
cadenza. If the acoustics
allow it, the player will
use sponge pottery
mallets (sponge-headed
mallets employed to
smooth the interior of a
pot as it is being
spin-dried). No matter
how hard the
percussionist strikes the
drums, the dynamic cannot
go above pp (pianissimo).
This cadenza serves as a
basis for the first
movement. The elements of
the cadenza are taken by
the orchestra to make the
first major statement,
similar to the classical
concerto; but rather than
making a restatement, the
soloists, when they come
in, begin with
variational ideas. The
second section is given
over to the soloists, and
is lyrical. The third
section begins with an
alternation between
strict rhythmic pulsation
and free-sounding
timbres, as if reluctant
to leave the second
section behind. The
rhythmic aspect takes
over more and more as the
piece progresses toward
its conclusion. Double
Play was commissioned by
the Saint Paul Chamber
Orchestra with financial
assistance from the
Northwest Area
Foundation. It received
its premiere on January
7, 1983, in St. Paul,
with the St. Paul Chamber
Orchestra; Pinchas
Zukerman, violinist; Marc
Neikrug, piano; and the
composer conducting.

Appalachian
fiddle music, based on
the musical traditions of
the people who settled in
the mountainous regions
of the southeastern
United States, is
widely-known and played
throughout North America
and parts of Europe
because of its complex
rhythms, its catchy
melodies, and its
often-ancient-sounding
stylistic qualities. The
authors explore the lives
and music of 43 of the
classic Appalachian
fiddlers who were active
during the first half of
the 20th century. Some of
them were recorded
commercially in the
1920s, such as Gid
Tanner, Fiddlin? John
Carson, and Charlie
Bowman. Some were
recorded by folklorists
from the Library of
Congress, such as William
Stepp, Emmett Lundy, and
Marion Reece. Others were
recorded informally by
family members and
visitors, such as John
Salyer, Emma Lee
Dickerson, and Manco
Sneed. All of them played
throughout most of their
lives and influenced the
growth and stylistic
elements of fiddle music
in their regions. Each
fiddler has been given a
chapter with a biography,
several tune
transcriptions, and tune
histories. To show the
richness of the music,
the authors make a
special effort to show
the musical elements in
detail, but also
acknowledge that nothing
can take the place of
listening. Many of the
classic recordings used
in this book can be found
on the web, allowing you
to hear and read the
music together.

A
violinist herself, Lauren
Bernofsky has described
SONATA FOR SOLO VIOLIN as
drawn from
autobiographical
inspiration, including
gestures from Bachâ??s
beloved Partita in E
Major. Bernofsky opens
with a Preludio movement
whose references to Bach
may be disguised, but
they are surely lurking.
The second movement is
lusciously contrapuntal
with the idiomatic
finesse of a violinist
composing for her own
instrument, while
musically journaling the
emotional pain of living
through 2020. The third
and final movement is
aptly marked
â??white-hot,â? and
the music certainly
is. My SONATA FOR SOLO
VIOLIN was commissioned
by violinist Megan Healy
as part of The Maud
Powell Project, which
celebrated the 100th
anniversary of the
ratification of the 19th
Amendment. The project
included the creation of
five new works for solo
violin inspired by and
dedicated to the memory
of pioneering American
violinist Maud Powell
(1867-1920). Healy
premiered the sonata on
May 8, 2021 at PianoForte
Studios in Chicago.Among
the works Powell most
frequently performed in
her recitals was the
â??Preludioâ?
movement from Bachâ??s E
major Partita, and I
decided to refer to that
music in my own first
movement, also titled
â??Preludio.â? The
beginning subtly reflects
Bachâ??s opening
three-note motive,
wherein the music dips
down a semitone and then
comes back up. This
melodic material returns
throughout the movement
in various forms. I also
refer to Bachâ??s
sixteenth-note dominated
texture, and the gesture
in the third measure,
which outlines a perfect
fifth and then fills it
in with notes that
alternate between a scale
and a pedal tone. The
corresponding passage in
my piece occurs in the
same place, measure 3.
Apart from these
references to Bach, my
sonata is much more
modern sounding,
especially in its
chromatic character.I was
still thinking of
Bachâ??s solo violin
writing while composing
the second movement,
particularly the
polyphonic nature of the
slow movements, where the
melodic interest moves
around between the
voices. Emotionally, I
wanted my movement to
reflect the acute sadness
I had been experiencing
over the political and
social situation in the
United States as I wrote
the piece. I realized
that this is a
historically noteworthy
time in U.S. history,
marked not only by
political unrest, but
also by a challenge to
the very values that I
consider essential to
what makes a person
fundamentally human. I
wanted to create a record
of that pain in my
music.The final movement
is marked
â??White-hot.â? It is
imbued with a relentless,
passionate intensity.
Wanting again to reflect
aspects of our own time,
I included glissandi that
refer to rock music,
specifically the
â??fall-offsâ? I
frequently hear played by
electric guitarists. I
borrowed from another
(completely different)
musical tradition as
well, one that is
near-and-dear to my
heart: Klezmer. Klezmer
(Eastern European Jewish
folk music) is
characterized in part by
scales colored by
augmented seconds, and is
often performed by solo
instrumentalists who
improvise embellishments
like quick grace notes.
The second, more lyrical
theme in this movement is
my nod to Klezmer
style.While this piece is
an homage to Maud Powell,
I also think of it as my
own musical
autobiography, as it
combines some of my
favorite aspects of
music, and is played on
my own instrument.

Legends of
the phoenix are found in
stories from ancient
Egypt and Greece. While
each culture possesses a
range of stories
encompassing the myth,
these tales tend toward
similar traits: a sacred
bird with brilliantly
colored plumage and
melodious call lives for
typically 500 years, then
dies in a nest of embers,
only to be reborn among
the flames. Phoenix
Rising consists of two
movements: I. Dying in
Embers represents an old
phoenix settling on top
of a pile of embers and
breathing its last
breath; II. Reborn in
Flames depicts the
newly-born phoenix
getting its first taste
of flight. Legends of
the phoenix are found in
stories from ancient
Egypt and Greece. While

share similar traits: a
sacred bird with
brilliantly colored
plumage and melodious
call lives for typically
five hundred years; then
the bird dies in a nest
of embers, only to be
reborn among the
flames.In Egyptian
stories, the phoenix
gathers scented wood and
spices for its
funeral/rebirth pyre,
then collects the ashes
from its earlier
incarnation and flies
them to the temple of the
sun in Heliopolis to
offer as a tribute to the
sun god.In Greek myths,
the phoenix was
approximately the size of
an eagle and was adorned
with red and gold
feathers; it would fly
from either India or
Arabia to Heliopolis to
give its offering. The
bird’s association
with immortality and
resurrection are
particularly intriguing
aspects of these tales,
giving numerous writers
(including William
Shakespeare, C.S. Lewis,
and J.K. Rowling) a rich
resource for their own
stories.Phoenix Rising

Commissione
d by the Philadelphia
Chamber Music Society for
its Thirtieth Anniversary
for the Clarosa Quartet.
The first movement begins
with detached fragments
and soon turns into
something cohesive and
dramatic. The second
movement pastorale is a
beautiful interlude with
glistening piano effects.
The fourth movement
closes the quartet with a
long whirlwind at the
end. Overall, Krzywicki
left me with the same
feeling I get from
Beethoven's late quartets
-- the sense that you're
in direct contact with
the composer's state of
mind. Krzywicki's
feelings aren't as
conflicted as Beethoven's
but they're just as real.

You may not
fall in love, but the 257
online piano
accompaniment tracks that
come witháI Love My
Scalesáare likely to
change your attitude
towards playing
tetrachords, scales,
arpeggios, and double
stops on the violin. In
fact, anyone who plays a
C instrument with a
comparable range will
enjoy playing along with
these imaginative and
elegant
recordings.áWhile this
book was written
primarily for violinists
to enhance intonation,
agility, overall
musicianship, and the
sense of time essential
to playing with an
ensemble in any style,
mandolinists will benefit
equally in improving
sight reading and
fretboard knowledge. Like
the famous Hanon studies
for piano, once these
exercises become a part
of muscle memory,
improved technical, ear
training and
improvisation skills will
follow.Useful for
violinists of any skill
level, this book and its
extensive companion
recordings offer a
complete workout for 1 to
3-octave major and minor
scales and arpeggios in
commonly used violin
keys. The book also
addresses scales in
various intervals plus
chromatic, modal, and
exotic scalesùall with
piano accompaniment that
makes scale practice a
labor of love.Includes

Number 5, 1950 was Mark
Rothko's last painting
before the breakthrough
into his mature format.
In it the luminous color
fields of a classic
Rothko are inscribed
across the middle with
three delicate lines.
Describing this painting
and its pivotal position
in Rothko's work, Brian
O'Doherty observes:
'After this, the lines
disappear completely.' In
recent years gesture and
figuration have
disappeared from my
music. What used to be
background has emerged to
become a musical world
composed entirely of
floating color fields. In
this new world I've
changed media, moving
from the orchestra to
smaller combinations of
acoustical instruments
and
electronically-processed
sounds. I still think in
orchestral terms, but
this hybrid medium allows
me to create orchestral
textures for more
practical and readily
available ensembles.
Initially I imagined this
as a kind of monolithic
music -an entire piece as
one rich and complex
sound. Then I came to
hear it as homophonic or
heterophonic. And now -
in this musical world
that I thought was
completely free of lines
- I've come to hear a
polyphony of harmonic
clouds. Maybe the lines
never disappear
completely. Maybe
Christian Wolff was right
when he quipped: 'No
matter what we do, sooner
or later it all sounds
melodic.' - John Luther
Adams.
