How long
should I practice? Which
pieces should I study?
How can I develop a
singing tone? All
violinists ponder these
questions, striving to
make the most of their
practice and
performances. This
enlightening and
encouraging book holds
the answers, offering a
series of interviews with
the most celebrated
violin teachers and
performers of the
nineteenth and early
twentieth
centuries.Twenty-four
famous violinists reveal
the secrets of their
success, sharing the
lessons of their artistry
and experience. In
addition to aesthetic and
technical aspects of
playing, they discuss
their personal
conceptions of violin
mastery. Eugene Ysaye
reminisces about his
studies with Vieuxtemps
and Wieniawski, and
Leopold Auer emphasizes
the importance of
fostering students'
individual talents. Maud
Powell describes her
pioneering role as a
female orchestral
musician, and Jascha
Heifetz voices his views
on technical mastery and
temperament. Hints and
advice from other masters
include tips on efficient
practice, immproving bow
technique, and refining
intonation. A rare find
in musical literature,
this book is essential
reading for every serious
violinist.Dover (2006)

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.

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.

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

share similar traits: a
sacred bird with

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

was commissioned by
saxophonist Christopher
Creviston, who has
recorded the work on the
Blue Griffin label. The
composer has also made
editions of the work for
flute and for clarinet
