In einer Zeit, als viele Werke Tschaikowskys ausserhalb Russlands unbekannt und weder in Noten noch auf Tontragern erreichbar, als authentisches biographisches Material und auf Primarquellen basierende Literatur rar und schwierig zu beschaffen und Russischkenntnisse bei westlichen Musikern und Musikwissenschaftlern selten waren, leistete die Tanzerin und Pianistin Louisa von Westernhagen Pionierarbeit. Sie grundete 1952 in Hamburg das Tschaikowsky-Studio und widmete sich der Erschliessung vor allem russischer Quellen. Der vorliegende Band der Cajkovskij-Studien hat sich unmittelbar aus der Arbeit an der Dokumentation des Studios entwickelt. In einem grosseren Kontext prasentiert er eines der wichtigsten Arbeitsergebnisse, an dem Louisa von Westernhagen neben ihrer Propaganda fur das Werk Tschaikowskys besonders gelegen war: die von ihr und Hellmuth Pattenhausen erarbeiteten deutschen Ubertragungen der Gesangstexte von Tschaikowskys Romanzen, Liedern und Duetten sowie die von Louisa von Westernhagen zusammen mit dem Herausgeber dieses Buches revidierten deutschen Ubertragungen zweier Opernlibretti: Die Jungfrau von Orleans und Jolanthe. Diese werden um die deutschen Ubertragungen der Libretti der wenig gespielten Opern Der Opritschnik, Oxanas Launen bzw. Die Pantoffelchen und Die Zauberin erganzt.

Violin and Piano - Beginner

SKU: FP.FDC24

Composed by Cyril Dalmaine. Sheet Music and Books. Music sketches for beginner violinists with piano accompaniment, by Cyril Dalmaine. Classical. Collection. Forsyths Publications #FDC24. Published by Forsyths Publications (FP.FDC24).

ISBN 9790570504336.

An imaginative first violin book, featuring 12 music sketches with fingering and tips on technique and reading music, inspired by the composer's experience teaching a young boy named Peter, and the musical pictures they painted together.


Comp oser and critic Cyril Carr Dalmaine graduated from the Royal College of Music and was Music master at Uppington School before going on to become chorus master to the BBC. He is most famous for coining the term 'Lord Haw-Haw' in his work as radio critic of the Daily Express under the pseudonym Jonah Barrington, in reference to the Nazi propaganda broadcasts of William Joyce during the Second World War.

Dalmaine was also a record presenter in the pre-1955 days and responsible for the 'discovery' of the then deceased Italian tenor, Alessandro Valente, giving Valente enjoyed a considerable posthumous vogue. As a composer Dalmaine wrote chamber music, and transcribed the cantatas of J.S. Bach to piano as well as a wide range of piano and string works published by Forsyth. His works such as Variation from Versailles and Pathway to the Proms remain in print and are well worth re-discovering, while his arrangements of popular classics in our Silhouette Series remain best sellers.

Entrare nell'universo del canto e ritrovare se stessi, la propria dimensione piu autentica e profonda, che comprende anche quella espressiva.
Esistono due modi di cantare: imitando dall'esterno dei suoni oppure scoprendo la propria vera voce e lasciandola risuonare liberamente. Solo il secondo modo dona quel senso euforico di apertura dell'essere, di elevazione e di liberazione, che spinge tante persone sulla strada del canto, ma purtroppo al giorno d'oggi e soprattutto il primo modo a essere proposto e propagandato.
Ogni epoca ha un'immagine, un simbolo che ne rappresenta lo spirito, l'essenza. Il 'meccanismo' e l'immagine in cui ancora si rispecchia e si esprime la modernita del Duemila.
Come i bambini sono convinti che nella radio si nasconda un omino che ci parla dentro, cosi i moderni didatti e scienziati del canto sono convinti che nel corpo si nasconda una macchina vocale che puo entrare in funzione solo leggendo i libretti di istruzione, da loro predisposti. I risultati di questa convinzione si possono sentire nelle scuole di canto e nei teatri...
Si dice che il corpo diventi cio che uno vi introduce mangiando. Analogamente il cantante diventa cio che egli immagina cantando. Se immagina muscoli e cartilagini, il suo canto non potra che essere, per definizione, muscolare e laringeo.
In effetti il canto e si una disciplina del corpo, ma e una disciplina che si apprende educando la mente e non i singoli muscoli. Questa educazione inizia acquisendo la capacita di prendere coscienza delle varie sensazioni vitali e di evocarle cantando. Queste e non le immagini foniatriche delle corde vocali o dei vari muscoli rappresentano la vera tastiera del cantante.
In verita le tastiere meccanicistiche non sono che le gabbie in cui i cantanti inconsapevolmente rinchiudono la loro voce, e ogni anatomia della voce si trasforma ben presto in autopsia della voce...
<>, ha scritto Eraclito venticinque secoli fa. Altrettanto dicasi dell'insperabile del vero canto, detto anche belcanto.
