#prelude and fugue no 11 B major

[posttexasstressdisorder]

Tuesday, 12-03-24, 8am Pacific

'Mornin', everyone. Mr. Baggins here with our Morning Coffee Music, selections to get us in gear and in good cheer. Let's start this morning off with our daily three Preludes and Fugues played by Harpsichordist Malcolm Hamilton. Today we hear Preludes and Fugues Nos. 10, 11, and 12 from Book 2 of WTC.

Next, we hear another of the performances that Guiomar Novaes recorded in 1956, and was issued as side 2 of A Music Appreciation disc issued by The Book of the Month Club in 1957. This time she is playing Beethoven's Sonata No. 26 Op. 81a, in E flat major "Les Adieux". This is as definitive a performance of this piece as has ever been recorded. The poise, the grace and control in this are eye-opening, and yet it is as warm-hearted as anyone could make Beethoven be!

Next is a treat: a performance from March 21, earlier this year, by the UT Wind Symphony of Malcolm Arnold's "Four Scottish Dances", arranged for only winds by Paynter.

Next we hear the Philadelphia Orchestra, with Eugene Ormandy at the helm, in a performance of the piece Sergei Rachmaninoff dedicated to them, his Symphonic Dances, Op. 45, and the "Paganiniana" Op. 65, of Alfredo Casella. Another historic reference recording that has withstood the test of time!

We turn to the music of Schubert next, a very early recording featuring Sergei Rachmaninoff at the piano and Fritz Kreisler on violin, playing Schubert's Violin Sonata in A Major, D 574, in a historic recording from 1928, reissued on LP in several different incarnations.

Lovely, isn't it? The fact that we can hear these two in a performance that is nearly 100 years old is mind boggling. We even have Rachmaninoff playing his own concertos, all from 1925 to 1929! Let's jump ahead a few decades to the mid-late '50s and hear another of Chopin's Scherzos, played by Vladimir Horowitz, from his glory days in the 1950s at RCA. We hear the Scherzo No. 2 in B-flat Minor, Op. 31, recorded in 1957.

And I thought we might wrap today's Morning Coffee Music up with a couple of lovely songs, sung by Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, from her Carnegie Hall Recital of November 25, 1956. We hear Mozart's song "Abendempfindung", K. 523 and then Richard Strauss' "Wiegenlied" (Cradle Song), op. 41, nº 1. George Reeves is the Accompanist.

And with that gorgeous little melody still hanging in the air, we bring today's Morning Coffee Music to a close. I do hope you've enjoyed the selections this morning! Mr. Baggins signing off for now, but I'll return at 2pm Pacific with your Afternoon Stack of Classic Wax!

Until then, be kind, babies, be kind.

Baggins out.

October 8th

Morning session (Stage I)

Arisa Onoda (Japan) finished Juillard, now studies with Dang Thai Son

Bach [Pleyel, 1842] Prelude and Fugue in C sharp major (DWK I)

Mozart [Pleyel, 1842] Rondo in A minor [they say she made a huge memory mistake, but was able to recover nicely]

Chopin [Graf, 1835] Polonaise in G sharp minor (WN 4): very polonaise-y, but also... dreamy? lyrical. maybe that's the word. but also strong (how can you achieve both things???)

Maria Szymanowska [Graf, 1835] Polonaise in F minor

Chopin [Pleyel, 1842] Barcarolle in F sharp major: it's a too long piece for me to know it well, but everything flowed and drew me along

Recomendation: Chopin's Polonaise

Madoka Okada (Japan, France) (can I just say: bold clothing decision?! chose a blouse with some white pannels/kinda window frames with things pattern) plays piano and violin, like Arisa Onoda

Bach [Pleyel, 1842] Prelude and Fugue in D minor (DWK II): I feel like I missed the fugue?... idk

Mozart [Pleyel, 1842] Fantasia in D minor: having in mind what was said about this piece yesterday, it definitely felt like a fantasia [radio speaker: this piano is a bit too late for a Mozart piece, kinda confused why this choice]

Chopin [Pleyel, 1830 (copy from 2017)] Barcarolle in F sharp major: (very nice)

Chopin [Graf, 1835] Polonaise in B flat minor (WN 10) [radio speaker: the trio part is opera-based, I didn't know that]

Michał Kleofas Ogiński [Graf, 1835] Polonaise in A minor ‘Farewell to the Homeland’: a bit too fast? but nevertheless, sounded good even in that tempo

Rec:

Piotr Pawlak (Poland)

Chopin [Pleyel, 1842] Barcarolle in F sharp major

Mozart [Buchholtz, 1825 (copy from 2017)] Fantasia in D minor

Chopin [Pleyel, 1830 (copy from 2023)] Polonaise in B flat major (WN 17)

Bach [Buchholtz, 1825 (copy from 2017)] Prelude and Fugue in C sharp minor (DWK I)

Michał Kleofas Ogiński [Pleyel, 1830 (copy from 2023)] Polonaise in A minor ‘Farewell to the Homeland’

Rec: Chopin's Barcarolle and Ogiński's Polonaise

Intermission with PR 2: this morning was a triple-Barcarolle, each one different and placed in a different position

Arisa Onoda (in 2015 and 2021 took part of Chopin competitions). Great musical sensitivity. Unfortunately, made a huge mistake in Mozart's Rondo, but was able to recover towards the end; her Barcarolle was really good, made an impression on radio speakers. During the short interview after her recital, Onoda called this piece an "unfulfilled dream of going to Venice".

Madoka Okada studied in Paris, is now studying period playing. A bit controversial choice of the instruments (Mozart on Pleyel---maybe for easy playing, maybe a French tradition, maybe to get closer to how Bach and Mozart were played in Chopin's times?). An interesting choice to put Barcarolle in the middle of her recital [also Okada said that for this piece she chose a piano that lacks one note that is needed for this piece?! hey say though it also resonates bass notes nicely which can help in Barcarolle---also she used the dolce sfumato pedal that made the piece stand out].

Piotr Pawlak winner of 2017 Darmstadt Chopin competition, a bit of mathematician. A bold choice to begin with the Barcarolle---a real challenge. Bach was intriguing; played on a Viennese piano, una corda used in fugue, one of the most interesting during this competition.

Takahiko Sakamaki (Japan) MA thesis (Köln) on the methods of tuning of period pianos. [radio speaker: sat on a typical orchestral chair, seemed very relaxed]

Chopin [Buchholtz, 1825 (copy from 2017)] Polonaise in D minor (WN 11): lovely

Mozart [Graf, 1835] Fantasia in D minor [a short improvisation and modulation to go into Kurpiński's polonaise]

Karol Kurpiński [Graf, 1835] Polonaise in G minor

Bach [Broadwood, 1846] Prelude and Fugue in G minor (DWK II): very lively fugue, with this constant motoric motion

Chopin [Broadwood, 1846] Ballade in F minor: he got me at subito piano near the end. but then his chords, one after another, seemed too fast. a nice, if maybe a bit strong, ending. [seems there was some memory mistake?]

Rec: Bach and improv

Kamila Sacharzewska (Poland) studies with Janusz Olejniczak in Warsaw (lovely classic dress)

Bach [Buchholtz 1825 (copy from 2017)] Prelude and Fugue in C sharp minor (DWK II): loved the prelude. very motoric fugue.

Mozart [Buchholtz 1825 (copy from 2017)] Fantasia in D minor

Chopin [Pleyel 1830 (copy from 2023)] Polonaise in A flat major (WN 3): full of grace

Michał Kleofas Ogiński [Buchholtz 1825 (copy from 2017)] Polonaise in A minor ‘Farewell to the Homeland’: nice, very decisive. she had quite a bit of mistakes with grace notes, maybe because of the change of instrument (I had listened to a reminder that al these pianos have different key width last night)

Chopin [Pleyel, 1842] Ballade in G minor: aaah, ballade in g <3 quite a bit of mystery, but also playfullness where it was needed (those semiquavers)

Rec: polonaises (and ballade, honestly)

Viacheslav Shelepov (Russia) studies in Hannover with Zvi Meniker

Chopin [Pleyel, 1842] Polonaise in F minor (WN 12)

Bach [Buchholtz 1825 (copy from 2017)] Prelude and Fugue in E minor (DWK I)

Mozart [Buhcholtz 1825 (copy from 2017)] Fantasia in D minor

Karol Kurpiński [Buchholtz 1825 (copy from 2017)] Polonaise in D minor

Chopin [Pleyel, 1842] Ballade in G minor ["you can't unhear it"?! wow]

Rec:

PR2 recs: Bach on late pianos sounds very good, which you can't say about Mozart on same pianos... Imagination and individuality as the main characteristics of the winners, but together with some order, with thought

Piotr Pawlak about Buchholtz: in Bach, every voice sounds different, which is great for him. He chose the piano (Pleyel) by playing first bars from the Barcarolle. Radio speakers: he was able to find the affect in that piece, which is difficult (also, he began his recital with it!) Spontaneous improvs/ornaments in Ogiński's Polonaise that sounded very natural and beautiful (in Darmstadt, he got a prize for improvisation). Nice Fantasy, contrasting recitativs (going back to CPE Bach). Treated Buchholtz, a Viennese-type piano, as an "emanation of a harpsichord".

Takahiko Sakamaki: Bach played on Broadwood, which also worked. Intriguing, all played on una corda, which made it sound completely different. This Broadwood is identical to the one used by Chopin in England. Great Ballade, fascinating. Chopin's Polonaise: a bit too nonchalant; Mozart a bit like in "Amadeus" (but with a style). Sakamaki about Broadwood: very romantic. He chose a standard chair bc the piano one was too high while he wanted to sit really low, alnd he prefers to have a backrest as it helps him relax and concentrate.

Kamila Sacharzewska: sure, calm and composed. Bach, which was difficult, played very surely. Chopin's Polonaise very nice, non banal, with good articulation. Ogiński: finally a polonaise played like a polonaise, like a dance, a bit melancholic. Used the una corda pedal wisely. Ballade: one of the most interesting, unfortunately the sound was a bit too forced, too much for the Pleyel.

Viacheslav Shelepov: a bit tiring recital, lots of mannerism, emphasy in the phrasing, too much of agogic changes. A bit histeric ballade O.o nice prelude. Probably will not get into stage two.

Scientific study tip: Background music

Don't listen to music when studying. Work in silence or listen to 'white noise'. Listen to happy music in your study breaks.

 The Mozart effect

The Mozart effect is a temporary improvement of spatial reasoning after listening to Mozart. It was discovered by Frances Rauscher and her colleages, and gained popularity two decades ago. They had students listen to Mozart's Sonata for Two Piano's in D Major, and then perform a test of spatial reasoning. These students performed better afterwards than students who listened to a relaxation tape or those who did the test in silence.

This sounds cool and all. Just put on some Mozart and ace that quiz, right? Not really.

First of all, the effect of listening to Mozart only lasted for 10-15 minutes, and the effects were actually quite small.

Second, this effect only occurs when listening to happy melodies, but not when listening to sad melodies. This was because happy melodies made students feel more happy and calm. So while the Sonata for Two Piano's in D Major was an excellent choice, Mozart's Fugue in C Minor for Two Keyboards might not have the same effect.

Third, and most importantly, the effect only occurs when listening to music BEFORE performing a cognitive task, not WHILE doing so.

Music disrupts

Several experiments played different kinds of music to people while they performed cognitive tests (such as studying exam materials, spatial reasoning tests). These experiments showed that music impairs performance. More findings:

Introverts were more impaired than extraverts.

Music with lyrics is much more disruptive than instrumental music.

Rock music is more disruptive than, say, classical operas.

It doesn't matter whether you pay attention to the music or not.

The impairment still occurs if you don't understand the language.

Silence and white noise are similar, although on the long term (think: your exam) silence may have a more positive effect.

So what can we learn from this?

Don't listen to music while you're studying. If you can't stand the silence, turn on some white noise. Great examples are coffee shop sounds, weather sounds, or animal sounds (see the links below).

Listen to (happy classical) music during your study breaks. This can reduce your stress levels, boost your mood, and in turn improve your focus and mental health.

Happy, healthy studying!

Friday, 12-06-24, 8am Pacific

G'Mornin' everyone, Mr. Baggins here with our Morning Coffee Music. While I finish making the coffee happen here, we'll hear our daily three Preludes and Fugues, played on harpsichord by Malcom Hamilton. Today we hear Nos. 19, 20, and 21 from Book 2 of WTC.

Ah, that always helps the old synapses start firin'! We'll hear a little more Bach later, but right now we'll be hearing another of Mendelssohn's String Symphonies, this time Number 4, with Nicholas Ward conducting the Northern Chamber Orchestra.

Hard to believe he wrote these when he was 12! Next let's hear another child prodigy, Mozart. We hear his Divertimento No. 11 in D Major, K. 251, played by Camerata Academica des Mozarteums Salzburg (Camerata Salzburg), Sándor Végh conducting.

And now, from the next video's descriptive notes: "This extremely rare 1956 recording features Mason Jones (french horn), Anthony Gigliotti (clarinet), John deLancie (oboe), Sol Schoenbach (bassoon), and William Kincaid (flute) in a performance of Haydn's Divertimento No. 1 in B flat major." Couldn't have said it better m'self!

Now let's hear the music of Czech (Bohemian) composer Joseph Suk (who was Dvorak's son-in-law), his Serenade for Strings in E-flat Major, Op. 6., performed by the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Jiří Bělohlávek.

And here is the Piano Concerto No. 2 of Czech composer Bohuslav Martinu. Rudolf Firkusny is the soloist with Carlo Maria Giulini conducting the New York Phil in a recording made in 1968.

Now let's hear Horowitz in the last of Chopin's Scherzos, the Scherzo No. 4 in E major, Op. 54. Recorded in London at Abbey Road Studios in 1936!

We've got one more work this morning, something to get us on our way to the rest of the day, and that little bit more Bach I promised you earlier. Let's check in with Glenn Gould and hear him with Golschmann and the Columbia do Bach's Concerto No. 5 in F minor, BWV 1056.

And that wraps up our Morning Coffee Music for this Friday! I do hope you've enjoyed the selections this morning and possibly heard something new to your ear. This is Mr. Baggins signing off for now, I'll be back at 2pm with our Afternoon Stack of Classic Wax!

Until then, be kind, babies, be kind.

Baggins out.
