Hundred-Spired Prague With the fingers of all saints With the fingers of perjury With the fingers of fire and hail With the fingers of a musician With the intoxicating fingers of women lying on their backs With the fingers touching the stars On the abacus of night […]

With fingers of coral mornings With fingers pointing upwards With the cut-off fingers of rain and the Týn Church on the glove of nightfall With the fingers of the desecrated Host With the fingers of inspiration With long jointless fingers With the fingers with which I am writing this poem

CONCERTI PLEASEEEEE the one (1) piece(s) of classical music i can name is vivaldi's four seasons violin concertis (concertos?) and they are my favorites i listen to them so often they are wired into my brain. and i STILL can't tell the seasons apart because i am immune to telling apart instruments :) but anyway really would love to see your list ALSO please please ramble on about topics of your choice that's one of my favorite things you do!!

okayokay. hmm

for violin concerti i have to give it up to brahms. i wasn't much of a brahms vln cto guy until i had to do it twice in orchestra in two years and then it grew on me. but also i'm an oboist and i'm biased because the middle movement is practically an oboe concerto as much as it is a violin concerto. anyway i also like tchaikovsky's violin concerto, mendelssohn's, and mozart no. 3. it will probably be more fruitful to ask a violinist for more suggestions because i don't listen to these very much but i know i have violin player mutuals so i'm calling on them to drop in the comments lol

PIANO CONCERTI. this is the other instrument that has like one million concerti out there. some of my favorites are beethoven 5 "emperor", tchaikovsky 1, and gershwin concerto in f :) (loooove the gershwin concerto). rhapsody in blue is sort of concerto like but it's not strictly a concerto i think. also shoutout to the ravel left hand piano concerto -- a very unique piece! he wrote it for a piano player who lost his right hand in world war i.

Lower strings - stamitz viola concerto! enough viola jokes, society has moved past the need for mean spirited viola jokes, it's a good instrument and this concerto is great. dvorak and saint-saens's cello concertos are about as standard and great as the come, but i think elgar is also great (even though it's not a style i usually prefer!). and as for bass, there's basically nothing as iconic as the bottesini concerto.

winds - i love me a good clarinet concerto. mozart's clarinet concerto (which was actually originally written for basset clarinet, an old type of clarinet with a slightly lower range and mellow tone) is classic and wonderful, but so are weber's clarinet concerti (i like no. 2!). the mercadante flute concerto is a lovely piece, i don't think it gets played that often but it's great. and the ferdinand david concertino for trombone!! really great. there are admittedly a lot of great concertos out there for horn, trumpet, bassoon, flute, etc. that i just don't know (sometimes i hear them on the radio but i don't catch the composer or work title)...but there's a lot out there, you can really just poke around until you find stuff you like

oboe - yes of course this gets its own section. you have asked an oboist for her choice of concertos. i am so biased here it's not funny. Anyway let's go chronological shall we. Starting with the marcello concerto. i think it usually gets played in d minor but i play it in c minor. do NOT @ me. next up is the mozart concerto which is pretty much just flat out required for every oboist to know if they want to do ANYTHING remotely professional in the world of oboe performance, it is THE standard rep for us. also do not @ me about not including the mozart flute concerto earlier because THAT'S THE SAME PIECE!! the flute concerto is just oboe concerto transposed up a step. LAME! anyway moving on. josef fiala is a kind of little known classical composer who has a few oboe concertos, i'm a fan of basically all of them. then there's my FAVE the kalliwoda concertino in f, it's so good, i played it for my senior recital. then getting into the 20th century there's the vaughan williams concerto which...i go back and forth on how i feel about it. it's lovely to listen to but it kicked my ass when i tried to learn it and i gave up on movement ii. also this isn't oboe but it's english horn which is like oboe's big brother, donizetti has an english horn concertino which i really like too, although finding out that it's disputed whether it should be in F or in G rocked my world (especially after i had gotten used to playing it in G and then tried it once in F and it broke my brain. i can't accept that it might be better in F...i can't...)

and then some WILD CARDS that i want to shout out because they're fun. the first two are double concertos: the mozart flute and harp concerto! and the fiala english horn and clarinet concerto! i think this combo is so weird and unique and great, i would LOVE to play this some day though i doubt that will ever happen.

you've heard of double concertos well now get ready for QUADRUPLE concerto. vivaldi wrote a concerto for four violins in b minor and it kind of rules. bach also arranged this for four harpsichords in a minor so you might also find that version. it took me forever to figure out who actually wrote the damn piece because i'd heard it both ways in multiple places

penultimate mention goes to the grunge oboe concerto, which attempts to answer the age old question, what if oboe music was emo/metal music. and then the final mention goes to this guy's specific performance of a vivaldi recorder concerto

OTD in Music History: Pianist, composer, and pedagogue Anton Rubinstein (1829 - 1894) gives his final public concert in St. Petersburg in 1894. With his health failing, Rubinstein moved back to Peterhof shortly thereafter, where he passed away from heart failure at the end of the year.

Rubinstein was undoubtedly one of the most historically consequential Russian musicians in history.

The founder of the famed St. Petersburg Conservatory, Rubinstein was also one of the most celebrated virtuoso pianists of the 19th Century. He was the primary piano teacher of fellow legendary concert pianist Josef Hofmann (1876 - 1957), as well as the primary composition teacher of Pyotr Tchaikovsky (1840 - 1893).

Although he best remembered today for his importance as a pianist and a pedagogue, Rubinstein was also a prolific composer in his own right: He wrote more than 20 operas, the best known being "The Demon" (which continues to hold the stage in Russia). Rubinstein also composed six symphonies, five piano concertos, and a slew of solo piano works and chamber music... although aside from "The Demon," almost none of his music is still heard today...

PICTURED: A c. 1880s photograph that shows the middle-aged Rubinstein coming as close as he ever came to smiling for the camera.

Also shown is an original c. 1850s "carte de visite" photograph showing the young Rubinstein (who always liked to highlight his pronounced facial similarity to Ludwig van Beethoven [1770 - 1827]), as well as an autograph letter that Rubinstein wrote to a colleague in 1859.

In this letter, Rubinstein mentions a performance of Carl Maria von Weber’s (1786 - 1826) opera “Der Freischutz” (1821), and repeatedly references Karl Klindworth (1830 - 1916) -- a piano student of Franz Liszt (1811 – 1886) who went on to have an important career teaching at the Moscow Conservatory and later served as the principal conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic. Klindworth was on such friendly terms with Richard Wagner (1813 – 1883) that he was actually tasked with preparing the piano-vocal scores for several of Wagner's mature operas.

Bruce Weber — Rauschenberg

BRUCE WEBER 

Artist Portraits 

15 SEPTEMBER 2016 - 16 APRIL 2017 

"Being invited to an artist's studio is like getting an invitation to a wedding. 

They don't necessarily serve you cake, but the experience is personal beyond your expectations. 

Very seldom are you asked to dance, but you're always encouraged to express yourself. 

And sometimes, you're delighted to receive a drawing or painting as a thank-you in the mail." — Bruce Weber 

Photographer and filmmaker Bruce Weber first rose to international prominence in the early eighties on the success of images that combined classical styling with more visceral underpinnings of desire, mood, and sexuality. 

His ability to construct a seamless sense of romance and drama created the central public images for fashion houses like Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein, Versace, Abercrombie and Fitch, and Louis Vuitton, as well as earning him an enduring presence as a contributor to magazines at the very highest levels in the industry. 

Throughout his career, Weber continues to work in various forms-he has directed seven short and feature length films, published more than 40 books, and has held more than 60 exhibitions world-wide-extending his lifelong exploration of the nature of human relationships. 

Far From Home and other Bruce Weber books are available for purchase at the NorthPark Center Concierge on Level One near Neiman Marcus. 

Presented by: @ NORTHPARK THE ART OF SHOPFING Robert Rauschenberg, 

Captiva, Florida, 

1997 

Robert Rauschenberg (American, 1925) was born in Port Arthur, Texas, and studied briefly at the University of Texas before being drafted in 1943. 

Following the war, Rauschenberg used the G.I. Bill to pay for art classes at Kansas State University, and then to Paris to study at the Academie Julian. 

The artist then made his way to North Carolina where he attended Black Mountain College, working under the tutelage of Josef Albers. 

While working and living in New York, Rauschenberg came to be considered to be one of the most prominent members of the American post-war avant-garde. 

He served as a crucial figure in the transition from Abstract Expressionism to later modern movements. 

Known for his sculpture-painting hybrids called Combines, Rauschenberg broke through the two dimensionality of the canvas at a time when AbEx dominated the artistic conversation. 

He once noted, "I think a picture is more like the real world when it's made out of the real world.” 

In 1964 he became the first American to win the International Grand Prize in Painting at the Venice Biennale. 

He continued to experiment with found materials in his painting and printmaking through his career, and died on May 12, 2008 in Captiva, FL at the age of 82.

Ready to sink your teeth into a captivating novel that explores themes of forgiveness and redemption? Look no further than Jodi Picoult’s latest novel, which delves deep into the complexities of human relationships. At the center of this novel is Sage, a baker who spends her nights kneading dough and her days trying to outrun the ghosts of her past. Her life is upended when she meets Josef Weber, an elderly man in her grief support group who begins showing up at her bakery. Despite their vastly different backgrounds and experiences, the two find common ground in the pains and traumas they’ve both endured. When Josef reveals a shocking secret to Sage and makes an unusual request of her, she is forced to confront her own assumptions and beliefs. What follows is a gripping exploration of the lengths we will go to keep the past from dictating our future. One of the many strengths of Picoult’s writing is her ability to create complex, multidimensional characters who feel like real people. Sage is an incredibly relatable protagonist, grappling with issues of guilt and grief that will resonate with many readers. Meanwhile, Josef is a fascinating study in contradictions, his veneer of joviality masking deeper layers of pain and trauma. But the real magic of this book lies in the way that Picoult deftly weaves together multiple perspectives and storylines. As Sage navigates Josef’s request and grapples with the fallout of her decision, we also see the impact on the people around her. Picoult does an excellent job of teasing out the nuances of each character’s experience, leaving readers with a nuanced understanding of the events in question. Of course, as with any good novel, there are some twists and turns along the way. While some readers may see them coming from a mile away, others will be left reeling by the unexpected developments. Regardless of which category you fall into, it’s clear that Picoult is a master storyteller who knows how to keep her readers hooked until the very end. Perhaps the most compelling aspect of this novel is the way that it grapples with big, weighty questions about love, forgiveness, and the nature of redemption. While Picoult doesn’t spoon-feed her readers easy answers, she does provide plenty of food for thought. This is the kind of book that will stick with you long after you’ve turned the final page, prompting you to reflect on your own life and relationships. In short, if you’re looking for a gripping, thought-provoking read, you won’t want to miss this latest offering from Jodi Picoult. With its richly drawn characters, multiple perspectives, and thought-provoking themes, it’s a book that will stay with you long after you’ve finished reading it.
