SUMMARY:ANAM: Brahms the Progressive
DESCRIPTION:Two composers who\, in terms of pure sound\, you might think belong on different aesthetic planes\, yet who were both deeply pre-occupied by the musical tradition they inherited\, and sought in their own way to absorb and renew it; this program brings them together in a fascinating evening of complementarity and juxtaposition.In his essay Brahms the Progressive\, Schoenberg described his predecessor as ‘a great innovator in the realm of musical language\,’ and in Brahms’ Op. 56 Variations you hear him ringing the changes on a theme attributed to Haydn\, a composer he deeply revered. But Brahms had a special affection for Schubert\, and once told a friend: ‘My love for Schubert is a very serious one\, probably just because it is not a fleeting fancy. Where is genius like his\, which soars aloft so boldly and surely?’ The sequence of little waltzes you hear in this concert – also for four hands at one piano – takes the spirit of the Schubertiade by the hand\, sometimes tenderly\, sometimes boisterously\, on a journey to some unexpected harmonic locations.  If it seems odd to you that Brahms would write waltzes at all\, the dedicatee of Op.39\, the critic Eduard Hanslick\, thought so too\, and said: ‘The earnest\, taciturn Brahms\, the true disciple of Schumann\, the North German\, as protestant and as unworldly as Schumann\, composing waltzes? The solution to the riddle is given in one word: Vienna.’ \nWhile\, in his technique – in which form and material are often modified by variation – Schoenberg showed himself to be a successor to Brahms in particular and the Viennese tradition in general\, there can also be uncanny synchronicities of mood between the two composers\, as you’ll hear in the second half of this concert\, in which two keyboard masterworks are presented in parallel. Schoenberg’s Suite Op. 25 helped revolutionise the language of music\, yet it contains many references to its musical past and even\, at times\, a gentle romantic yearning. \nJohannes BRAHMS Sixteen Waltzes\, op.39 (1866)\nJohannes BRAHMS Fantasies\, op.116 (1892)\nJohannes BRAHMS Variations on a Theme by Haydn for 2 pianos\, op.56b\, ‘St. Antoni Chorale’ (1873)\nArnold SCHOENBERG Suite\nArnold SCHOENBERG Drei Klavierstücke  \nANAM Pianists \nThis performance will last approximately 2 hours including a 20 minute interval. \nFriday 11 October 2024\, 7 PM\nAbbotsford Convent\, Rosina Auditorium\, 1 St Heliers St\, ABBOTSFORD VIC \nView Map \nTICKETS: A Little Extra $60.00; Standard $40.00; A Little Less $20.00 \n

SUMMARY:Australian National Academy of Music: Sublime String Quintets
DESCRIPTION:How to explain Schubert’s genius when his music reveals it so readily? His string quintet is an epic of the chamber music world – visionary\, long-breathed\, novelistic – yet it’s also often serenely songful. It may be built to a grand design\, but it can also sound miraculously spontaneous.   \nSchubert’s warm-hearted masterwork is that rare string quintet featuring two cellos rather than two violas. It’s bookended in this concert by a work written for the same forces; but where Schubert’s Quintet is acknowledged as one of the greatest of all chamber works\, Maliszewski’s magnificent Quintet is a major rediscovery.  Born in the Ukraine\, Maliszewski helped found the Odessa Conservatory\, which nurtured the talents of some of the 20th century’s great instrumentalists. His Quintet\, impassioned and lyrical\, is inflected with the folk music of his homeland – and once you’ve heard it played by ANAM musicians you’ll wonder why it’s not better known.  \nLutosławski was one of Maliszewski’ students. At first\, this Polish composer’s music was supressed by his Russian masters\, but by the end of his life he’d become an iconic musical figure of his time. The four vignettes in this program chart the journey from his delicate dance with the authorities (‘I wrote as I was able\, since I could not yet write as I wished\,’ he later said) to full-blown expressive freedom.  \nIt’s hard to imagine a greater advocate for this program than Polish violinist Jakub Jakowicz\, an exemplary chamber musician\, teacher and soloist. \nWitold MALISZEWSKI String Quintet in D minor\nWitold LUTOSŁAWSKI Subito\nWitold LUTOSŁAWSKI Epitaph\nWitold LUTOSŁAWSKI Bukoliki\nWitold LUTOSŁAWSKI Dance Preludes\nFranz SCHUBERT String Quintet \nJakub Jakowicz director/violin\nANAM Musicians \nTuesday 06 Aug 2024\, 7 PM\nAbbotsford Convent\, Rosina Auditorium\, 1 St Heliers St\, ABBOTSFORD VIC\nTICKETS:\nA Little Extra $60.00\nStandard $40.00\nA Little Less $20.00

SUMMARY:Australian National Academy of Music: That Moment In Time
DESCRIPTION:he past is present and the future foretold in these emblematic works of the 20th century.  \nThe small orchestra and sense of play in Stravinsky’s 1924 concerto might suggest a look back at the world of the Baroque Concerto Grosso or Mozartian serenade through cubist-shaped spectacles\, but the dark colouring (thanks to the four horns)\, the restless interplay between piano and winds\, the wisps of jazz phrasing and the austere melancholy of the central Largo tell you that\, in the aftermath of WWI\, the world would never be the same – and that the future of music looked quite different to the composer of this work than it did to the Stravinsky who’d composed The Firebird some 14 years earlier.    \n‘Seminal’ is an over-used word\, but how else to describe Schoenberg’s first Chamber Symphony? In its blurring of melody and harmony it foretold of the atonal space Schoenberg would create in his very next work\, the Second String Quartet. And in its ‘reduction sauce’ approach to symphonic form – in which he compresses the movements of a traditional symphony into a continuous 20-minute whole – he prefigures the formal experiments which would become so dominant a feature of 20th century composition. In the transcription of the Chamber Symphony by Schoenberg’s pupil Anton Webern for violin\, flute\, clarinet and piano\, the work’s frequently intricate issues of internal balance are solved with clarity and elegance.  \nClaude DEBUSSY Études (selections)\nArnold SCHOENBERG Chamber Symphony no. 1\, arr. Webern\nIgor STRAVINSKY Concerto for Piano and Wind Instruments \nPaavali Jumppanen (ANAM Artistic Director) director/piano\nANAM Musicians \nFri 02 Aug 2024\, 7 PM \nAbbotsford Convent\, Rosina Auditorium\, 1 St Heliers St \nTICKETS: A Little Extra $60.00\nStandard $40.00\nA Little Less $20.00
