9.0x12.0x0.224
inches. I composed
the Piano Concerto in two
stages: the first three
movements during the
years 1985-86, the next
two in 1987, the final
autograph of the last
movement was ready by
January, 1988. The
concerto is dedicated to
the American conductor
Mario di Bonaventura. The
markings of the movements
are the following: 1.
Vivace molto ritmico e
preciso 2. Lento e
deserto 3. Vivace
cantabile 4. Allegro
risoluto 5. Presto
luminoso.The first
performance of the
three-movement Concerto
was on October 23rd, 1986
in Graz. Mario di
Bonaventura conducted
while his brother,
Anthony di Bonaventura,
was the soloist. Two days
later the performance was
repeated in the Vienna
Konzerthaus. After
hearing the work twice, I
came to the conclusion
that the third movement
is not an adequate
finale; my feeling of
form demanded
continuation, a
supplement. That led to
the composing of the next
two movements. The
premiere of the whole
cycle took place on
February 29th, 1988, in
the Vienna Konzerthaus
with the same conductor
and the same pianist. The
orchestra consisted of
the following: flute,
oboe, clarinet, bassoon,
horn, trumpet, tenor
trombone, percussion and
strings. The flautist
also plays the piccoIo,
the clarinetist, the alto
ocarina. The percussion
is made up of diverse
instruments, which one
musician-virtuoso can
play. It is more
practical, however, if
two or three musicians
share the instruments.
Besides traditional
instruments the
percussion part calls
also for two simple wind
instruments: the swanee
whistle and the
harmonica. The string
instrument parts (two
violins, viola, cello and
doubles bass) can be
performed soloistic since
they do not contain
divisi. For balance,
however, the ensemble
playing is recommended,
for example 6-8 first
violins, 6-8 second, 4-6
violas, 4-6 cellos, 3-4
double basses. In the
Piano Concerto I realized
new concepts of harmony
and rhythm. The first
movement is entirely
written in bimetry:
simultaneously 12/8 and
4/4 (8/8). This relates
to the known triplet on a
doule relation and in
itself is nothing new.
Because, however, I
articulate 12 triola and
8 duola pulses, an
entangled, up till now
unheard kind of polymetry
is created. The rhythm is
additionally complicated
because of asymmetric
groupings inside two
speed layers, which means
accents are
asymmetrically
distributed. These
groups, as in the talea
technique, have a fixed,
continuously repeating
rhythmic structures of
varying lengths in speed
layers of 12/8 and 4/4.
This means that the
repeating pattern in the
12/8 level and the
pattern in the 4/4 level
do not coincide and
continuously give a
kaleidoscope of renewing
combinations. In our
perception we quickly
resign from following
particular rhythmical
successions and that what
is going on in time
appears for us as
something static,
resting. This music, if
it is played properly, in
the right tempo and with
the right accents inside
particular layers, after
a certain time 'rises, as
it were, as a plane after
taking off: the rhythmic
action, too complex to be
able to follow in detail,
begins flying. This
diffusion of individual
structures into a
different global
structure is one of my
basic compositional
concepts: from the end of
the fifties, from the
orchestral works
Apparitions and
Atmospheres I
continuously have been
looking for new ways of
resolving this basic
question. The harmony of
the first movement is
based on mixtures, hence
on the parallel leading
of voices. This technique
is used here in a rather
simple form; later in the
fourth movement it will
be considerably
developed. The second
movement (the only slow
one amongst five
movements) also has a
talea type of structure,
it is however much
simpler rhythmically,
because it contains only
one speed layer. The
melody is consisted in
the development of a
rigorous interval mode in
which two minor seconds
and one major second
alternate therefore nine
notes inside an octave.
This mode is transposed
into different degrees
and it also determines
the harmony of the
movement; however, in
closing episode in the
piano part there is a
combination of diatonics
(white keys) and
pentatonics (black keys)
led in brilliant,
sparkling quasimixtures,
while the orchestra
continues to play in the
nine tone mode. In this
movement I used isolated
sounds and extreme
registers (piccolo in a
very low register,
bassoon in a very high
register, canons played
by the swanee whistle,
the alto ocarina and
brass with a harmon-mute'
damper, cutting sound
combinations of the
piccolo, clarinet and
oboe in an extremely high
register, also
alternating of a
whistle-siren and
xylophone). The third
movement also has one
speed layer and because
of this it appears as
simpler than the first,
but actually the rhythm
is very complicated in a
different way here. Above
the uninterrupted, fast
and regular basic pulse,
thanks to the asymmetric
distribution of accents,
different types of
hemiolas and inherent
melodical patterns appear
(the term was coined by
Gerhard Kubik in relation
to central African
music). If this movement
is played with the
adequate speed and with
very clear accentuation,
illusory
rhythmic-melodical
figures appear. These
figures are not played
directly; they do not
appear in the score, but
exist only in our
perception as a result of
co-operation of different
voices. Already earlier I
had experimented with
illusory rhythmics,
namely in Poeme
symphonique for 100
metronomes (1962), in
Continuum for harpsichord
(1968), in Monument for
two pianos (1976), and
especially in the first
and sixth piano etude
Desordre and Automne a
Varsovie (1985). The
third movement of the
Piano Concerto is up to
now the clearest example
of illusory rhythmics and
illusory melody. In
intervallic and chordal
structure this movement
is based on alternation,
and also inter-relation
of various modal and
quasi-equidistant harmony
spaces. The tempered
twelve-part division of
the octave allows for
diatonical and other
modal interval
successions, which are
not equidistant, but are
based on the alternation
of major and minor
seconds in different
groups. The tempered
system also allows for
the use of the
anhemitonic pentatonic
scale (the black keys of
the piano). From
equidistant scales,
therefore interval
formations which are
based on the division of
an octave in equal
distances, the
twelve-tone tempered
system allows only
chromatics (only minor
seconds) and the six-tone
scale (the whole-tone:
only major seconds).
Moreover, the division of
the octave into four
parts only minor thirds)
and three parts (three
major thirds) is
possible. In several
music cultures different
equidistant divisions of
an octave are accepted,
for example, in the
Javanese slendro into
five parts, in Melanesia
into seven parts, popular
also in southeastern
Asia, and apart from
this, in southern Africa.
This does not mean an
exact equidistance: there
is a certain tolerance
for the inaccurateness of
the interval tuning.
These exotic for us,
Europeans, harmony and
melody have attracted me
for several years.
However I did not want to
re-tune the piano
(microtone deviations
appear in the concerto
only in a few places in
the horn and trombone
parts led in natural
tones). After the period
of experimenting, I got
to pseudo- or
quasiequidistant
intervals, which is
neither whole-tone nor
chromatic: in the
twelve-tone system, two
whole-tone scales are
possible, shifted a minor
second apart from each
other. Therefore, I
connect these two scales
(or sound resources), and
for example, places occur
where the melodies and
figurations in the piano
part are created from
both whole tone scales;
in one band one six-tone
sound resource is
utilized, and in the
other hand, the
complementary. In this
way whole-tonality and
chromaticism mutually
reduce themselves: a type
of deformed
equidistancism is formed,
strangely brilliant and
at the same time
slanting; illusory
harmony, indeed being
created inside the
tempered twelve-tone
system, but in sound
quality not belonging to
it anymore. The
appearance of such
slantedequidistant
harmony fields
alternating with modal
fields and based on
chords built on fifths
(mainly in the piano
part), complemented with
mixtures built on fifths
in the orchestra, gives
this movement an
individual, soft-metallic
colour (a metallic sound
resulting from
harmonics). The fourth
movement was meant to be
the central movement of
the Concerto. Its
melodc-rhythmic elements
(embryos or fragments of
motives) in themselves
are simple. The movement
also begins simply, with
a succession of
overlapping of these
elements in the mixture
type structures. Also
here a kaleidoscope is
created, due to a limited
number of these elements
- of these pebbles in the
kaleidoscope - which
continuously return in
augmentations and
diminutions. Step by
step, however, so that in
the beginning we cannot
hear it, a compiled
rhythmic organization of
the talea type gradually
comes into daylight,
based on the simultaneity
of two mutually shifted
to each other speed
layers (also triplet and
duoles, however, with
different asymmetric
structures than in the
first movement). While
longer rests are
gradually filled in with
motive fragments, we
slowly come to the
conclusion that we have
found ourselves inside a
rhythmic-melodical whirl:
without change in tempo,
only through increasing
the density of the
musical events, a
rotation is created in
the stream of successive
and compiled, augmented
and diminished motive
fragments, and increasing
the density suggests
acceleration. Thanks to
the periodical structure
of the composition,
always new but however of
the same (all the motivic
cells are similar to
earlier ones but none of
them are exactly
repeated; the general
structure is therefore
self-similar), an
impression is created of
a gigantic, indissoluble
network. Also, rhythmic
structures at first
hidden gradually begin to
emerge, two independent
speed layers with their
various internal
accentuations. This
great, self-similar whirl
in a very indirect way
relates to musical
associations, which came
to my mind while watching
the graphic projection of
the mathematical sets of
Julia and of Mandelbrot
made with the help of a
computer. I saw these
wonderful pictures of
fractal creations, made
by scientists from Brema,
Peitgen and Richter, for
the first time in 1984.
From that time they have
played a great role in my
musical concepts. This
does not mean, however,
that composing the fourth
movement I used
mathematical methods or
iterative calculus;
indeed, I did use
constructions which,
however, are not based on
mathematical thinking,
but are rather craftman's
constructions (in this
respect, my attitude
towards mathematics is
similar to that of the
graphic artist Maurits
Escher). I am concerned
rather with intuitional,
poetic, synesthetic
correspondence, not on
the scientific, but on
the poetic level of
thinking. The fifth, very
short Presto movement is
harmonically very simple,
but all the more
complicated in its
rhythmic structure: it is
based on the further
development of ''inherent
patterns of the third
movement. The
quasi-equidistance system
dominates harmonically
and melodically in this
movement, as in the
third, alternating with
harmonic fields, which
are based on the division
of the chromatic whole
into diatonics and
anhemitonic pentatonics.
Polyrhythms and harmonic
mixtures reach their
greatest density, and at
the same time this
movement is strikingly
light, enlightened with
very bright colours: at
first it seems chaotic,
but after listening to it
for a few times it is
easy to grasp its
content: many autonomous
but self-similar figures
which crossing
themselves. I present my
artistic credo in the
Piano Concerto: I
demonstrate my
independence from
criteria of the
traditional avantgarde,
as well as the
fashionable
postmodernism. Musical
illusions which I
consider to be also so
important are not a goal
in itself for me, but a
foundation for my
aesthetical attitude. I
prefer musical forms
which have a more
object-like than
processual character.
Music as frozen time, as
an object in imaginary
space evoked by music in
our imagination, as a
creation which really
develops in time, but in
imagination it exists
simultaneously in all its
moments. The spell of
time, the enduring its
passing by, closing it in
a moment of the present
is my main intention as a
composer. (Gyorgy

c teachers know their
students don’t
just learn to play music,
they are also exposed to
universal life skills
along the way. But
that’s just part
of the story. Currently,
most students are largely
left to learn these
universal
skills—like
problem-solving,
patience, focus,
collaboration, critical
thinking, creativity, and
communication—on
their own and often not
very effectively. The
Transposed Musician is a
practical guide to
teaching these universal
skills within the context
of a traditional music
lesson. The results not
only empower students to
better confront the
challenges of the
twenty-first century,
they significantly
improve
musicianship—a
double benefit. Author
Dylan Savage spent two
decades refining his
approach to teaching
universal skills through
music, and he shares them
in this book. Each of the
eight chapters of The
Transposed Musician
focuses on a specific
universal skill
(problem-solving, focus,
patience, critical
thinking, communication,
collaboration,
improvisation, and
creativity) and shows how
students can apply that
skill to music. He then
shows how teachers can
guide those students to
“transposeâ€
that skill to life and
back again to music with
far deeper understanding
and musicianship. With
practical examples and
clear writing, this book
is for music educators
wishing to help their
students become both
better musicians and also
better-equipped citizens
of the world. Students
truly become
“transposed
musicians†for life
and for music. Dylan
Savage is Associate
Professor of Piano at the
University of North

. He is also a
Bösendorfer Concert
Artist, a Capstone
Records Recording Artist,
and a winner of the Rome

https://thetransposedmusi

priceless and contains a
wealth of music teaching
information that every
teacher should apply to
their studio. Dylan
Savage’s use of
universal skills
transforms music teaching
into a viable and
essential part of
education in the
twenty-first-century.
This teaching approach of
using universal skills
can revolutionize
teaching music in both
the private studio and
college level and will
give teachers a greater
sense of purpose and
satisfaction in their
work. This book
challenges many
preconceived ideas about
teaching music and
mastering performance.
Bravo for shaking up the
status quo.
—Randall Hartsell
  Composer,
Clinician, Teacher This
book asks and explores
fascinating questions
about what it means to
study music in a changing
world. Are there skills
we can learn in our music
lessons which can enrich
our lives in
other non-musical
areas, and then can we
bring those expanded
skills back into our
study of music itself?
Too often our
conservatories are
dead-ends, stuck with
outdated, one-dimensional
approaches which can lead
to stunted personal
development. This book
suggests ways in which we
can break down doors, for
students and teachers
alike, and celebrate
music as something
life-affirming, in and
out of the studio.
—Stephen Hough
  Pianist,
Composer, Writer Dylan
Savage has given us a
fresh and creative
pedagogy to guide our
music students toward
life as
twenty-first-century
musicians. His career as
pianist and teacher, and
his firsthand experience
in the marketplace of
business and industry,
allow him to forge a
systematic approach to
teaching universal skills
in the music lesson. In
each of the eight
chapters, skills such as
problem-solving, focus,
critical thinking,
collaboration, and
improvisation are defined
and applied to musical
skills. These in turn are
“transposedâ€
to non-musical
applications. We observe
the music lessons and the
active
“transpositionâ€
or transfer of
universal skills
exemplified through
descriptions of
particular lessons. The
anxieties, confusions,
and ultimate comfort and
understanding of students
are guided by the
questions of the teacher.
The book is beautifully
organized and is enriched
by quotations of artists,
musicians and
philosophers, and
suggested readings and
references. I really
think this is an
important and helpful
book with a point of view
that is much needed. The
empathy and knowledge of
the author steer the
reader toward the
realities of
today’s musical
world, a world that
requires skilled
musicians to have
universal skills that
benefit their lives,
regardless of their
ultimate career paths.

to meet those challenges.
Using a master

Savage
“transposesâ€
eight potential stumbling

be acquired through a
beautifully organized,
step-by-step approach. In
turn, he shows how these
skills can be applied to
other areas in our

University of Oklahoma
Twenty-five hundred years
ago Plato recommended
music first in his ideal
curriculum for potential
leaders of
Athens—before
sport, mathematics, and
moral philosophy. None of
his candidates, one may
assume, aspired to become
a professional musician.
Nevertheless, throughout
centuries, otherwise
people have acknowledged
that the study and
practice of music
generates collateral
benefits essential to
human fulfillment. In his
new book The
Transposed Musician,
Professor Dylan Savage of
the University of North
Carolina at Charlotte
identifies eight of these
benefits—Problem
Solving, Focus, Patience,
Critical Thinking,
Communication,
Collaboration,
Improvisation, and
Creativity—and
calls them
“universal
skills†which may
be developed consciously
and systematically within
the context of
traditional music
lessons. Doing so takes
what has been implicit
all along and makes it
explicit. Music is good
for us! Music teachers,
even at the highest
conservatory level, learn
from Professor Savage
that they are not so much
professional trainers as
guides to a happier, more
successful life.

 Successful author,
teacher, producer, and
arts advocate Savage's
excellent book couldn't
be more timely, unique,
clear, full of wisdom,
and exactly what we need.
As he points out, music
teachers have known for
generations—in a
rather generalized
way—that musical
skills can strengthen
life skills in many ways.
Dylan Savage is the first
to address this
'transposition'
intentionally, with
specific exercises in the
transferrable skills.
What better gift could
there be for music
students facing an
ever-changing world?

is the soundtrack to
childhood’s winter
adventures. Tasting
snowflakes, watching a
snowstorm through the
living room window, or
falling in the soft snow
is always exciting and
sparks the imagination.
Each movement of this
suite paints a scene. In
Snowflakes, the pizzicato
notes depict flakes
landing on a nose or
finger long enough to be
marveled at before
melting away.
Snowstorm’s
perpetual motion feel,
with dramatic changes in
dynamics, draws the
listener into imagining
wild winter winds.
Finally, after the storm,
children and adults alike
fall into the powdery
snow creating charming
and delightful Snow
Angels.Performance
NotesMost students are
adept at pizzicato by the
grade 1 orchestra level,
and this piece provides
the opportunity to review
pizzicato technique for
good tone. Recommended
pizzicato technique
includes the thick part
of the fingertip over the
fingerboard, producing
tone with depth and
allowing the resonance to
create a rich orchestra
sound. The detaché
bowing is truly detached
in Snowstorm with
contrasting legato bow
strokes in Snow
Angels.For schools that
encourage writing across
the curriculum, teachers
may encourage students to
write a short imaginative
story about the snow
themes in this music.

8.5x11
inches. La Sonata
modello The Template
Sonata for solo piano by
Howard J. Buss is
dedicated to pianist
James Helton. The music
traverses a wide rage of
moods and sonic
atmospheres. The composer
designed a template of
meter changes derived
from the numerical series
in mathematics codified
by the medieval Italian
mathematician, Leonardo
Fibonacci. In this
adaptation of the
Fibonacci sequence each
number represents a
quarter note and is
expressed in the
succession of meters 4/4,
3/4, 5/4, 4/4, 4/4, 5/4,
3/4, 5/4, 4/4, 4/4, 4/4,
4/4, and 5/4. This series
of measures is repeated
throughout the work.
While each 13-bar segment
implies that the music
fits into a particular
metrical scheme, the
composer exerts
independence in a variety
of ways, such as with
phrasing that sometimes
ignores the underlying
structure. Buss states:
This metrical template
was at times useful, but
often seemed arbitrary
and counter to the thrust
and development of the
musical material. My
challenge was to find a
way to work with the
template while using its
rigidity to spark
creative solutions.
Although the music
evolves within the
template, my ultimate
goal was that the
listener be unaware of
the structural
underpinnings and simply
enjoy the beauty of the
music.. $16.00 - Voir plus => AcheterDélais: 4 to 6 weeks | | |
