Bruch's
evergreen for the first
time in Urtext Thanks to
the premiere performance
by Joseph Joachim and to
the release of the
printed edition in 1868,
Max Bruch's Violin
Concerto no. 1 zipped
onto the road to success
and has never left it
since. Yet from the
preface of the
BreitkopfUrtext
edition,one can infer how
things looked like behind
the dazzling facade.
After the world premiere,
the composer struggled
for the definitive form.
He wrote 3, 4 development
sections in the finale,
and sought the advice of
celebrated virtuosi such
as Joseph Joachim and
Ferdinand David to revise
the solo part. And after
all this was done (see
above), Bruch suffered
under the work's
popularity: Have I
written nothing but this
one concerto? The new
Urtext edition is based
primarily on the first
edition. Next to the main
source and the autograph,
what is supremely
interesting is a solo
part with entries by
Joachim and Bruch. It
confirms how intensively
the two men collaborated
on honing the final form
of the work.

I
became interested in the
work of Plato through my
friend and collaborator,
the writer and
philosopher Paul
Woodruff. Paul's new
translation, with
Alexander Nehamas, of the
Symposium gave me
insights into ancient
Greek ways of thinking
about Love, Beauty, and
Wisdom -- and managed to
keep the earthy, and
often bawdy side of it
all in full view. But
their new translation of
Plato's later dialogue
Phaedrus went even
further: the beauty of
the speeches is
breathtaking, and the
discourse itself is
enough to keep one awake
at night. Basically the
Great Speech of Socrates
in the Phaedrus dialogue
has to do with the place
of Eros in the world, and
with the conflict in the
soul between fleshly
pleasure and philosophic
discovery. I will not
attempt to encapsulate
this brilliant discourse
in a program note:
suffice it to say that
reading it gave rise to
my two-sided work for
clarinet, violin, and
piano, Phaedrus. The
first movement represents
the Philosophic life, and
is thus subtitled
Apollo's Lyre (Invocation
and Hymn). It begins with
an unaccompanied melody
for the clarinet, which
(after a pair of
harp-like flourishes for
the piano, expands into
an accompanied canon. The
voices in the dialogue
(clarinet and violin)
follow each other by a
prescribed number of
beats, but the music is
totally devoid of any
meter at all. The piano,
representing the lyre,
accompanies this lyric
love-feast with repeated
strummed chords. The
canon has three large
sections, and ends with
violin echoing the
unaccompanied clarinet
invocation as the sound
of the lyre fades. The
second movement, called
Dionysus' Dream-Orgy
(Ritual Dance) presents,
after a brief
introduction, another
kind of unmetered music.
Rather than long lyric
flights of philosophic
song, however, this time
we hear a unison dance of
unbridled energy and
sensual transport. The
piece soon forms itself
into a loose arch form,
with contrasting metered
dance sections divided by
the unison unmetered orgy
tune. Midway through the
movement, Apollo's melody
returns from the first
movement, but it is a
temporary reminiscence.
The orgiastic dance
returns, reaches a
climax, and ends with a
stomping of feet. While
Plato asserts that a
proper balance between
lust and reason is
necessary in all men, he
(naturally) gives the nod
to Philosophy as the
better choice in which to
live. Not so in my music:
the two sides are meant
to coexist and to
complement each other. No
sides are taken. Phaedrus
was commissioned of the
Verdehr Trio by Michigan
State University. It is
dedicated to the Vedehr
Trio with great affection
and admiration.

In 1979,
Martin produced a set of
three quintets, in
consideration of Gorky's
piece Nighttime Enigma
Nostalgia. Each is scored
for flute, clarinet,
violin, cello, and piano.
As the title suggests,
the music is in a state
of perpetual questioning
using a variety of
approaches. For example,
Enigma opens using
ostinati (plural of
ostinato) that do not
match in length, like a
staircase with each step
a different height.
Additionally, the music
has sudden starts and
stops, again unexplained.
There are dramatic and
powerful explosive
passages that are
interrupted. The
technique, used to create
this feeling of a
perplexed music world
where things seem often
not to make sense and to
be left unresolved, is
called in poetry and
literature, anticlimax.
In Enigma, the music
suggests one direction;
then refuses to continue,
striking out in another
direction. Artists use
approaches such as this
to force themselves into
creative circumstances
that they otherwise might
not have discovered.

Kale
vi Aho (b. 1949) composed
Violin concerto No. 2 in
late summer and early
autumn 2015 for the
Finnish violinist Elina
Vahala. Lasting about 32
minutes, the second
concerto is a large-scale
virtuoso work dominated
by the soloist. The
strong-featured first
movement (Allegro) begins
with a fairly short
orchestral introduction
that is followed by the
soloist's first vigorous
statement. Around the
middle of the movement is
a cadenza, and the
movement ends with a
quick stretta. The
soloist dominates the
events in the slow second
movement (Adagio) even
more than it did in the
first. The Adagio begins
with the same opening
motif for the soloist as
the first movement, but
this time the motif is
more lyrical and singing.
Having built up to a
dramatic climax, it
subsides on flageolet
notes and finally sounds
that are somewhere
between musical notes and
noise. The third movement
(Vivace, leggiero) is by
nature dance-like again
and lighter than the
previous ones. At the
end, the tempo
accelerates to a wild,
virtuosic prestissimo.

Inspi
red by Chinese tradition,
this concerto-like dance
suite includes: 1. Lion
Dance, 2. YangKo, and 3.
Muqam. Each movement
draws from melodies and
rhythms characteristic of
various regions of China
many centuries ago.
CHINESE FOLK DANCE SUITE
is available for violin
with full orchestra, or
as a recital work with
piano. Supported by a
major commissioning award
from the Serge
Koussevitzky Music
Foundation in the Library
of Congress, Chinese Folk
Dance Suite is written
for solo violin and
orchestra; it was
premiered by The
Women’s
Philharmonic with violin
soloist Terrie Baune,
conducted by Apo Hsu, on
March 10, 2001, at Yerba
Buena Center For the Arts
Theater in San
Francisco.Inspired by
various Chinese
traditional folk dances,
the suite has three
movements:I. Lion Dance.
Traditionally, people
dance with richly
decorated hand-made
lions, accompanied by
percussion ensemble, to
celebrate happy occasions
and major festivals
throughout the country.
In this composition, I
use Chinese drum and
other percussion
instruments in the
background, to form a
dynamic and rhythmic
texture responding to the
solo part, which imitates
the tunes played on the
suona (traditional
Chinese trumpet). The
pitch materials came from
the traditional Guangdong
tune “Dragon Boat
Racing,†and the
Chaozhou tune “Lion
Playing Ball.â€II.
YangKo. Originating in
northern China, this is a
major folk dance form in
mass performance
popularized in the
country. In YangKo
performance, people play
rhythmic patterns on the
drums hung around their
waists while singing and
dancing. In the second
movement, I imagined a
warm scene of YangKo
dancing in distance. The
solo violin plays a sweet
and gracious melodic line
while all members of the
orchestra sing
non-pitched syllables in
different layers as the
soft background, to
imitate the percussion
sound which produces the
ever-going pulse.III.
Muqam. This large-scale
music and dance form,
from the Uygur
nationality in Xinjiang
province, originated in
the 15th century. My
third movement use a 7/8
meter and the melodic
style of Muqam music. The
fiery dancing gesture
culminates in the
sustained climax section
at the end of the work,
after a colorful violin
cadenza in both
improvisational singing
style and polyphonic
writing with woven
lines.

The day
that Australian and New
Zealand forces joined the
Allies for an invasion of
the Gallipoli Peninsula
of Turkey in World War I,
with disastrous
consequences, is
celebrated in Australia
as Anzac Day (Australian
and New Zealand Army
Corps). To honor this
special day, Bresnick
takes inspiration from
two selected poems by
Bertolt Brecht (And I
Always Thought and Legend
of the Unknown Soldier
Beneath the Triumphal
Arch). Commissioned to
commemorate
Australia’s Anzac
Day, similar to Memorial
Day, and inspired by two
Brecht poems…The
somber opening violin and
clarinet lines unfolded
to haunting effect before
eventually reaching a
fervent climax. --Vivien
Schweitzer, The New York
Times.
