Extractions: Não deixe de visitar os links de música no final desta página ... Bela Bartók , compositor húngaro contemporâneo de Férenczi A giant of 20th century music, Bela Bartók was a brilliant and original composer who drew inspiration from both his classical contemporaries - most notably Wagner and Strauss - and the folk melodies of his homeland. A pianist, theorist, music historian and teacher, Bartók wrote primarily for instruments rather than for voices, and over the course of his career revolutionized virtually every concept of tonality (or lack thereof) in existence. Bartok started his professional career as a pianist, and made several successful tours of the European continent after his graduation from the Academy in 1902. He did not pursue composition as a primary activity until after his appointment to the piano faculty at the Budapest Academy in 1907. From this time on, he wrote reams of orchestral, chamber and solo music, taught theory, and performed solo recitals and concert engagements throughout Europe and in the United States. Bartok wrote a large volume of piano works, most notably the brilliant Mikrokosmos (1926-37), a six-book collection of piano teaching pieces which, although simple in form, show his genius as a harmonic and rhythmic innovator. He also wrote a wealth of chamber music; his six string quartets are absolute masterpieces of structure and balance, more so than any works since the music of Mozart and Haydn. In these quartets, Bartok used an original system of tonal organization which drew as much from the non-Western scales of Hungarian folk music as it did from any traditional sense of tonality. Each quartet is a unique marvel of simple melodies, rough dissonances, rhythmic complexity and harmonic abstraction.

Extractions: The Frederick Chopin International Piano Competition is one of the oldest events of its type in the world, and enjoys great prestige and universal renown. In the seventy years of its existence, the competition has evolved and transformed itself, altered and improved its form, and created its own extensive tradition. The initiator of the Frederick Chopin Piano Competition was Prof. Jerzy Zurawlew (1887-1980), an outstanding Polish pianist, teacher and composer. The first Chopin Competition took place on 23-30 January 1927 in the concert hall of the Warsaw Philharmonic. The next Competitions in 1932 and 1937 were also held there, at a five year interval, in accordance with the rules of the organisers. The 1942 Competition was not held owing to the Second World War, and the Competition could not be continued until several years after the war. The first postwar and the fourth International Frederick Chopin Competition took place in 1949, in the "Roma" concert hall, which is still standing in Nowogrodzka Str., the temporary home of the Warsaw Philharmonic and the Opera. The Competition became the culmination of the Chopin Year, celebrating the hundredth anniversary of the death of this great composer. The next Competition was organised six years later, in 1955. This change to the traditional five year-cycle was caused by the reconstruction of the Warsaw Philharmonic Hall, which was promoted soon afterwards to the rank of a national institution. From 1955 onwards, the Frederick Chopin International Piano Competition has been held in the National Philharmonic Hall every five years without a break.

Extractions: "Music is the universal language that communicates without words," "It is one of the best gifts the Lord offers to us. Through music, we can talk to the Lord and receive His best blessings. Performances should be the best possible, as should everything we do for the Lord, not for self-promotion but for His glory." "My sister was a pianist," says Dr. Alberto Jaffé. "Some of her friends came to our home and played chamber music. I became interested in the violin when I was about five." Dr. Jaffé performed in his first violin recital at age eight and participated in competitions with the Brazil Symphony Orchestra. He has studied in Germany and performed in concerts and recitals around the world. Mrs. Daisy (de Luca) Jaffé remembers music being part of her earliest childhood memories. "My mother loved the piano; her dream was for me to play," recalls Mrs. Jaffé. "She encouraged me, but she never pushed me. I began playing the piano when I was six years old." Mrs. Jaffé played in her first piano recital after taking lessons for just three months. Later, she developed her skills in Paris under renowned Brazilian pianist Magda Tagliaferro, whose teaching "genealogy" placed her and her students in a direct line of students taught by Beethoven. Mrs. Jaffé has also performed extensively around the world.

Extractions: Carles Santos (Vinaros, 1940) can be considered an integral artist who started his long career as a pianist, covering later many other disciplines like direction and composition. The sum of all these facets, in addition to accumulated experience and reflections in other artistic areas like movies or theater, take shape in his numerous scenic, musical, and plastic works, which have given him an international recognition due to the originality of his projects and the rigor of their realization. His career began in the Superior Conservatory of Music of Barcelona's Liceo, where he obtained awards that would later give him an opportunity to complete his education in Paris where he studied with such masters as Fevrier, Casadesus, Magda Tagliaferro, Margaret Long, and later with Harry Datymer in Switzerland. As a professional pianist, he started his career in 1961, playing a repertoire of Bartok, Schoenberg, and Webern. During the same years, he composed and played the musical part of Joan Brossa's Concert Irregular, premiered at Saint Paul de Vence, Barcelona, and New York to commemorate the 75th anniversary of Joan Miro. It was a musical theater play with script by Joan Brossa and was commissioned by the Maeght Foundation. In 1968, he received a March Foundation grant and moved to the United States, where he worked with many personalities of the musical avant-garde and met John Cage. During the seventies, while directing the Grup Instrumental Catala (GIC), founded by himself and Mestres Quadreny, he made his first piano recording that included works by John Cage, Anton Webern, and Karlheinz Stockhausen.

World-wide FREE postage on CD purchases HEITOR VILLA-LOBOS by Dr David C F Wright I have often heard it said that Villa-Lobos wrote too much music and the implication is that he never made time to construct a masterpiece! But prolific outputs are known throughout the history of music and it could be said that people such as Haydn and Mozart produced so much that not all of it is of the highest standard or appeal. Villa-Lobos would say that composition was not necessarily inspiration but a therapeutic necessity. If he did not compose he was ill. He simply had to write music. Villa-Lobos was an ordinary man. It may be true to say that he was quaint or homely. He was not an arrogant man but a very hard-working musician. He pottered around his house with his hair all over the place, wearing curious slippers and often with an overweight cigar in his mouth. He also had domestic skills and one of the few composers who had a winning personality that both made and kept friends. His mother, Noemia Umbelina was born in Rio de Janeiro in 1859 whereas his father, Raul, was born in 1862. Their marriage took place in 1884. Their first child, Bertha, known as Lulucha, was born in 1885. Heitor was born on the 5th March 1887 the year before slavery was abolished in Brazil. Carmen, nicknamed Bilita, was born in 1888. On 17th January 1889 Carmen and Heitor were baptised at Sao Jose Church in Rio de Janeiro. Later that year Brazil was declared a republic.
