Artistic Heritage

This article attempts to present sketches of the compositional creativity of Alexandr Boris Mulear (1922–1994), who is one of the most important figures of the music culture in the Republic of Moldova and belongs to the older generation of composers, as his glory years were between 1950 and 1980. The composer’s record contains a valuable artistic heritage that is appreciated by performers but the study of his works is not in the center of interest of musicologists yet. However, the article will present some examples of the Mulearian creativity. Analyzing the composition portfolio of A. Mulear, the author shows that chamber works predominate for the most part in his creativity, including suites, quartets, sonatas, miniatures and musical pieces, with a wide range of instrumental groups: from the duo (violin and piano, piano and voice) to the symphony orchestra. In conclusion, it is noted that the composer manifested himself in an original way in chamber music, which is more innovative and bright and reveals diverse forms of classical music in terms of style and genre.

This article investigates the musical language of Brian Cherney, applying the idea of musical topics as a strategy for analyzing the extramusical content of his music. The idea of musical topics, traditionally applied to works from the classical era, is expanded with a collection of topics that are specific to Cherney’s work. Focusing on a set of chamber pieces from throughout Cherney’s compositional output beginning in the 1960s, this article focuses particularly on the topic of “ascending music,” tracing its musical and expressive meaning through these chamber works. The article concludes with a topic-based analysis ofGan Eden,a 1983 piece for violin and piano, providing an example of how topics coexist and interact within a single composition.

The instrumental chamber music works by composers from the Republic of Moldova are rich and diverse, both in terms of the musical genres addressed and the instruments required, either for the ensemble or solo parts. The trumpet, an instrument with wide technicalinterpretative and expressive possibilities, offers composers an ample opportunity for harnessing its potential. The two works, which we will analyze from an interpretive point of view – “The Concert Study” for trumpet and piano (in B) by Alexandr Sokireanski (1977) and “Oleandra” for trumpet and piano (in B) by Vladimir Slivinski (1979), are part of the active repertoire of trumpeters and are of interest to researchers. They require certain execution skills and a certain level of handling the instrument, as they contain elements with a high degree of difficulty; we refer here to the rhythmic structure, the complexity of dynamic nuances, technical elements, the change of tempo during the proceeding of the musical discourse, the exploitation of the acute register of the trumpet.

AbstractConsidered one of the founders of the Norwegian national music culture, Grieg sought to transpose into his music the grandeur of nature, the simplicity of people and their lives, the richness of fantasy and mythological stories. Edvard Grieg retains in his music essential elements of Norwegian folklore, which he uses in his own language. The third Sonata for violin and piano, op. 45 differs from the other two sonatas created previously, both by the dramatic character of the thematic material, as well as by the massive dimensions and the structure of the form that approaches the classical pattern. Starting with this Sonata, Grieg definitely crystallizes his style in the field of chamber music, revealing a mature language of dramatic essence, in which we find rich and inventive rhythmic and melodic structures, plastic harmonies and bold dissonances, picturesque timbre effects that capture the atmosphere and the specific Norwegian color.

Francis Poulenc is a key figure in twentieth-century classical music, as well as an unorthodox and striking individual. This book draws upon Poulenc's music and other primary sources to write an authoritative life of this great artist. Although associated with five other French composers in what came to be called “Les Six,” Poulenc was very much sui generis in personality and in his music, where he excelled over a wide repertoire-opera, songs, ballet scores, chamber works, piano pieces, sacred and secular choral works, orchestral works and concertos. This book fully covers this wide range, while also describing the vicissitudes of Poulenc's life and the many important relationships he had with major figures such as Satie, Ravel, Stravinsky, Diaghilev, Cocteau and others.

This chapter examines Beyer's instrumental chamber works and pieces for symphony orchestra or large ensemble. Beyer's two suites for solo clarinet, composed in 1932, are landmark works of dissonant counterpoint and modernist formalism. These clarinet suites are compositionally intricate and virtuosic in their demands. These are important in their theoretical implications, and they started Beyer down a path of writing a number of pieces for woodwinds. Meanwhile, Beyer composed only two duos for strings and piano: Movement for Double Bass and Piano (1936) and Suite for Violin and Piano (January 1937). She also composed four works for string quartet: String Quartet (1933–34), String Quartet No. 2 (July 1936), Movement for String Quartet (also called Dance for Strings, 1938), and String Quartet IV (undated).

There is increasing interest in the academic community to better understand how concert audiences experience and value live classical music (Kolb 2000; Pitts 2005; Pitts et al. 2013; Radbourne, Glow & Johanson 2013). Numerous authors have recognised the social value of concert attendance, especially important for infrequent and young attendees (Brown 2002; ACE 2004), however it is often assumed that frequent attendees are motivated by purely aesthetic reasons. Similarly, it has been acknowledged that a listener’s experience of a concert is impacted by the presence of other audience members (Pitts 2005), yet there has been little research on the nature of the ‘community’ formed by a concert audience. In this paper, we wish to share our initial findings from our two collaborative doctoral awards in partnership with a regional chamber music promoter and a regional symphony orchestra. Through questionnaires, focus groups and interviews with audience members, we have sought to add additional understanding of concert attendance as a form of socialising, the short-term communal aspects of being ‘in-audience’, and the longer-term communities that surround cultural institutions, which can be seen to be displaying fan-like qualities. We aim to demonstrate that aesthetic pleasure is never the only motivating factor behind concert attendance, even for frequent attendees, as their selection of concerts and their listening experiences are always influenced by social interactions.
