The
three pieces From Jewish
Life were composed by
Swiss-American composer
Ernest Bloch in 1924, the
same year he took U.S.
citizenship. Though
clearly inspired and
influenced by Jewish
experience, they are
purely concert pieces,
and do not provide any
specific liturgical
significance.
The
first movement, Prayer,
is a deeply heartfelt
plea to the almighty. As
Neil W Levin writes, The
initial four-note motive
in the minor mode,
together with its
elaboration in the
ensuing phrases, sounds
as if it might have
served as the skeletal
model for Max Janowski's
(1912-1991) now
well-known setting of the
High Holyday prayer Avinu
Malkenu. This prayer has
special meaning in my own
spiritual life, as I have
been singing it since my
childhood. Both Prayer
and Janowski's Avinu
Malkenu are cantorial in
nature, to be sung with
heartfelt
pathos.
The second
movement, Supplication
(the act of begging
humbly), has more angst,
almost a sense of urgency
as a result of the
rhythmic motor in the
piano. The third
movement, Jewish Song,
evokes a quintessentially
Eastern-European
melancholy. Its falling
motives with bent
intonation might
represent the pain of the
Jewish
experience.
The
works were dedicated to
Dutch-American cellist
Hans Kindler, a highly
influential musician of
his time, and founder of
the National Symphony
Orchestra in Washington,
D.C. Mr. Kindler was the
soloist for the world
premiere of Bloch's most
celebrated work, Schelomo
in 1917.
Though
the popularity of Bloch's
oeuvre has been dominated
by works of Jewish
connection, we should not
forget that Bloch had
many other stylistic
periods, including
Franco-Belgian, modal,
serial, and even American
folk. In 1927, he was
awarded Musical America's
composition prize in a
unanimous vote, despite
being regarded as an
outsider by American
music writers at the
time. His winning work
America (1928) was
performed by every major
orchestra and conductor
in the following seasons.
May we be proud of his
contributions to American
music. The three

Joachim
Raff's celebrated first
cello concerto is only
gradually being
rediscovered today. This
is astounding, taking
into account both the
quality of the
composition as well as
its enthusiastic
reception in the past.
All renowned cellists of
the time performed the
work, but the history of
op. 193 is still more
closely linked to
Friedrich Grutzmacher,
its commissioner,
co-editor, and soloist in
its world premiere, than
to any other musician.
Grutzmachers wish for a
concerto to free us poor
cellists from our
situation that is
becoming truly unbearable
and driving us to the
utmost discontent was
certainly fulfilled by
Raff.The extensive
preface of this first
Urtext-Edition documents
the close collaboration
between composer and
interpreter, as well as
performance practice of
the time. The
corresponding piano
reduction includes not
only an Urtext-solo part,
but also a part with the
markings by the Zurich
cellist Jonas Kreienbuhl.

Joachim-Raff-Archiv
