Alexander Scriabine Concerto For Piano And Orchestra (1951)

Publication date 1951 PAUL BADURA-SKODA, Piano VIENNA SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA conducted by HENRY SWOBODA Alexander Scriabin, a key figure of the Russian Symbolist movement in music, has left behind a wealth of compositions that continue to enthrall listeners with their complexity and ingenuity. One such noteworthy composition is his Concerto for Piano and Orchestra in F sharp minor, Op. 20. This piece stands as a testament to Scriabin's unique harmonic language and his ability to create a profound emotional impact through music. Composed in the summer of 1896, when Scriabin was just 24 years old, the Concerto for Piano and Orchestra is a work of great depth and intricacy. It is a three-movement composition, each movement showcasing a different facet of Scriabin's compositional prowess. The first movement, marked "Allegro," begins with a dramatic and lyrical theme introduced by the piano, which is then echoed by the orchestra. This theme, full of chromaticism and rich harmonies, sets the tone for the rest of the movement. The interplay between the piano and orchestra is skillfully handled, with the piano often engaging in virtuosic passages while the orchestra provides a lush harmonic backdrop. The second movement, "Andante," is a slower, more introspective piece. The piano introduces a hauntingly beautiful melody, which is later developed by the orchestra. This movement is characterized by its dreamy, almost ethereal quality, showcasing Scriabin's ability to evoke a wide range of emotions through his music. The final movement, "Allegro moderato," is a lively and rhythmically complex piece. The piano and orchestra engage in a vigorous dialogue, with the piano often taking the lead with rapid, virtuosic passages. The movement concludes with a triumphant restatement of the main theme, bringing the concerto to a satisfying close. Scriabin's Concerto for Piano and Orchestra is a brilliant demonstration of his unique compositional style. The work is characterized by its complex harmonic language, virtuosic piano writing, and the masterful interplay between the soloist and orchestra. Furthermore, the emotional depth and intensity of the music make it a captivating listening experience. In conclusion, Alexander Scriabin's Concerto for Piano and Orchestra in F sharp minor stands as a significant contribution to the piano concerto repertoire. With its complex harmonies, lyrical themes, and profound emotional depth, it offers a glimpse into the mind of one of the most innovative composers of the late Romantic era.

Robert Schumann Concerto In A Minor Op 54 For Piano And Orchestra (1951)

Publication date 1951 DINU LIPATTI, Piano, PHILHARMONIC- SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA OF NEW YORK with HERBERT VON KARAJAN conducting Robert Schumann's Concerto in A Minor, Op. 54 for Piano and Orchestra is a significant work in the Romantic piano concerto repertoire. Composed in 1845, this concerto showcases Schumann's profound understanding of piano virtuosity and orchestral color, making it a beloved piece for both performers and audiences alike. During the early 19th century, the Romantic era brought forth a surge of creativity and artistic expression. Robert Schumann, a leading figure in the Romantic movement, composed the Concerto in A Minor at a time when the piano concerto genre was evolving. This period saw a shift from the classical style of Mozart and Beethoven to a more emotionally charged and technically demanding approach to composition. The concerto consists of three movements: 1. Allegro affettuoso – The opening movement introduces the main thematic material, featuring a lyrical and expressive dialogue between the piano and the orchestra. Schumann's innovative use of thematic development and virtuosic piano passages sets the tone for the entire concerto. 2. Intermezzo: Andantino grazioso – This second movement serves as a contrasting interlude, providing a moment of respite from the intensity of the first movement. The piano takes center stage with a graceful and introspective melody, accompanied by delicate orchestral textures. 3. Allegro vivace – The final movement bursts forth with energy and exuberance, showcasing the technical prowess of the soloist and the orchestral brilliance. Schumann's mastery of thematic transformation and dramatic orchestral writing reaches its peak in this exhilarating conclusion. Schumann's Concerto in A Minor is characterized by its seamless integration of piano and orchestral elements. The piano part is demanding yet lyrical, requiring both technical agility and expressive depth from the soloist. The orchestral writing is rich and colorful, providing a dynamic backdrop for the soloist's intricate melodies and passages. Furthermore, the concerto demonstrates Schumann's use of cyclic form, where thematic material reappears and undergoes transformation throughout the work, creating a sense of unity and coherence across the three movements. This structural innovation contributes to the concerto's profound emotional impact and compositional ingenuity. In conclusion, Robert Schumann's Concerto in A Minor, Op. 54 for Piano and Orchestra stands as a testament to the artistic innovation and emotional depth of the Romantic era. Its intricate blend of piano virtuosity, orchestral grandeur, and thematic unity makes it a timeless masterpiece that continues to captivate performers and audiences worldwide. As we delve into the intricate layers of this concerto, we gain a deeper appreciation for Schumann's unparalleled musical genius and the enduring power of his compositions.

ODDSound Release MTS-ESP Suite for Dynamic Microtuning

ODDSound Release MTS-ESP Suite for Dynamic Microtuning

UK STARTUP & APHEX TWIN REDEFINE MUSICAL TUNINGUK-based ODDSound’s collaboration with Grammy-winningelectronic artist Aphex Twin seeks toevolve a fundamental musical component - the note.

A new computer music technology,MTS-ESP, sets notescompletely free

.MTS-ESPchallenges the dominance of western tuning,giving global cultures tools tocompose in traditional local tunings whilst extendingthe possibilities for all.

MTS-ESPallows for fresh creative approaches to musicalcomposition, enabling electronicmusicians to define and change pitch at any momenteven whilst notes are playing.

Independent developers collaborate to empower musiciansto access alternative tunings.

           Until recently most music software only allowed working with the            same 12 notes, equally divided over an octave. Whilst microtuning additions have broadened this considerably, it can still be cumbersome to get all plugins and external synths in tune, until now...          

           The MTS-ESP Suite equips composers with tools to get everything            tuned quickly and accurately, as well as presenting entirely new compositional    methods.          

           Change notes or chords whilst they’re being played, transpose all           instruments at once or morph into an entirely different tuning system - the possibilities are endless. Discover more about tuning  and get detailed visual representations in real-time, or simply get everything tuned correctly in record time.          

The MTS-ESP Suite provides the computer musician with an intuitive toolset for rapidly composing and finessing microtonal pieces.Existing MIDI compositions can be easily converted to a different tuning system and given an entirely different emotional context. Working on new compositions is made nearly effortless.          

FEATURES:

Import and export .scl, .kbm and .tun tuning and mapping files

Create new tuning systems, manually and algorithmically

Control the tuning of your whole studio from within a single plugin

Retune any plugin or MIDI device with either MTS-ESP, MPE, MTS SysEx or MIDI pitch bend

Automate tuning changes across all plugins and MIDI devices

Visualize and compare tuning systems

Convert compositions from one tuning system to another

Create subset scales by analysing MIDI to only include used notes

Use a Novation Launchpad as a microtonal keyboard and chord player

Create tunings by ear and tune instruments with the built in synth

Zero-latency, low CPU use

Simple, ergonomic resizable interface

Mac Retina and Windows HiDPI support

Free, completely functional 30-day demo

When young we’re told that there are seven colors in the rainbow.  As we grow we realize that this isn’t true;the rainbow is a spectrum of color, a chromatic blur, and we’re completely used to visual artists utilising its variety.  In music we’re similarly told there are twelve equally spaced notes (12 Tones of Equal Temperament, or 12 TET for short).  Again, we grow to realize pitch is also a spectrum, yet this notion rarely extends to the music we listen to because the industry has been firmly rooted in those twelve notes...until now.  A collective of British musicians and software developers seek to challenge the tyranny of a de facto tuning system imposed on us all.

Although 12 TET has been a musical concept for millennia,its ubiquity is comparatively recent. Prior to mass manufacture of musical instruments the world was brimming with localized intonations,theories of tonality and tuning experimentation on the parts of composers.  12 TET enabled the industrialization of instrument manufacture through standardization, but the dawn of digital synthesizers in the 1980s ended the need for this conformity.  In theory a synthesizer could be tuned arbitrarily, so after lobbying from Robert Rich and Carter Scholzthe MIDI standard was extended to include specifications for changing tunings in 1992.Sadly that technology, known as MTS (MIDI Tuning Standard), never achieved broad adoption.

The constraints of 12 TET became increasingly apparent- pop hits often have similar melodies,leading to the all-too-common lawsuit and our ear shave grown so accustomed to this single tuningwe can find anything else discomforting (somethingTV and film composers have leveraged for decades now).  Young musicians marveling at world music such as Gamelan may wonder how such ethereal composition could be achieved, as often little is taught on the subject at western conservatoires or universities.  Musical commentators started to ask the obvious questions -have we run out of notes and is this dependency another vestige of western colonialism?

“It has been long evident that composers have been taxing both the system and its instruments far beyond their capacities, and that the continued tyranny of Equal Temperament is leading tothe degeneration of tonality...It would be health yfor us to realize fully that our instruments are exactly as poor as the system and habits of thoughtwith which they evolved.”Harry Partch

Many musical mavericks and global musicians already knew the answer - there’s a continuum of pitch, tonality is subjective and escaping the prison of those twelve notes can give music a whole new life.  To this end developers Damon Hancock and Dave Gamble (of UK audio brand DMGAudio) hatched a solution - an easy-to-use system unlocking the whole pitch spectrum.  It allows synthesizers to be tuned however one wishes and for tuning to be modified in real-time with no setup required.  MTS-ESP was born.

Tuning enthusiast Richard D James (Aphex Twin) showed them his vintage Rhodes Chroma synth with custom firmware that enabled him to author new tunings by ear and then transfer them to other instruments.  It was a laborious process, often taking hours to tune all the instruments on a recording,but it worked and was more musically intuitive than alternatives.  These ideas were consumed into the project and soon a holistic, centralized approach to tuning emerged.  EDM producer and coder OliCash (a.k.a. Far Too Loud) joined the team and a new company was formed, ODDSound, specifically targeting the boundaries of creative music technology.

There was one small problem left - whilst the system delivered solid results with existing hardware and software the perfect solution necessitated third-party developers to add code to their products.Adoption of new technologies in computer music hasoften been a slow process, spanning many years if not decades, so why would anyone integrate MTS-ESP prior to launch?  Richard, already friendly with numerous synth companies, offered hissupport to the project.  Now it has been openedup for anyone to use, with freely available code for developers and free software for users.  MTS-ESP now enjoys one of the broadest adoptions on launch of any computer music technology in history, aswell as a zero-cost entry point for everyone via the MTS-ESP Mini plugin paired with free softwareinstruments.

"You now have63,050,394,783,186,944-128 more frequencies to play with" Richard D James

A plethora of compatible software, some free and some commercial, is available now from forward-thinking developers including : Audio Damage, Audiorealism, CWITec, DMGAudio , Expert Sleepers, HY Plugins, Modartt, Surge, Soundyan, TAL, U-He, Xfer Records,

More are joining weekly and the possibilities for tuning don't end there either. The full MIDI Tuning Standard, mentioned earlier, is resurgent on modern hardware synths, notably those from Moog, Waldorf and Novation, offering a way to control the tuning of individual notes from the system.  Expert Sleepers provide a way to retune analogue and Modular synths using Control Voltage (CV) with MTS-ESP integration in their “Silent Way” plugins.MTS-ESP can also be used for tuning in the virtual modular VCVRack and MAX/MSP visual programming environments via free modules provided by ODDSound.

The launch  of the MTS-ESP ecosystem is a huge leap forward for electronic music creators that utilise the infinitude of alternatives to 12 TET.Veering from tuning norms has been costly,time-consuming and frustrating until now, but this technology remedies the issues whilst empowering users to explore a universe of approaches to tuning.Now independent developers have united to push music technology forwards perhaps we will see more such projects to come.

The ODDSound MTS-ESP Suite is available now at oddsound.com for £79.99 (GBP).

The ODDSound MTS Mini plugin is available now at oddsound.com for free

Composers of Tumblr

Someone sent me an ask asking for other composers of tumblr they could follow. The mobile format was stupid, so I’m making a new post.

Sure! There are many on here. I don’t know if you’re asking for people who do it as a profession, who are studying it, are hobbyists or other categories I can’t think of, so I will include all of the above.

@the-sassy-composer is a brilliant audio engineer. Her talents extend well into the digital realm of composition, including soundscapes, producing and mixing. @mattbear-music-nz of New Zealand and the partner of my first musical collaboration is also an incredibly talented composer. He is currently part of a project for music dedicated to the victims of the Christchurch massacre @that-twink-composer writes music that I personally find to be image-invoking. He does an excellent job of utilizing the influence of middle-eastern music in his own compositions, and it works so well. During June he did a special on LGBTQ+ composers in this community. @theclosetpianist is has written some of my favorite pieces by composers of Tumblr. Her music has a sound recognizably her own, and writes piano pieces that both engage the listener and can pull on their emotions. @dschbach writes music which has a distinctly contemporary sound. He’s among the most experimental composers I’ve listened to on in the music community. @viola-ing is currently working on a string quartet and posted the first movement of it in march @in-the-key-of-f-major recently completed a symphony, and also has a studyblr you can follow. @littletrumpetcat composes music that has a particularly hymnal sound. I would say her music also has a sound which is distinctly recognizable. @storyandasong does a great job of telling stories through music. She bases her music off of stories she reads in the genre of fantasy and writes music that both sounds distinctly her own, but is also recognizable in the form of sheet music. @musicalcompositions–eric–scott is someone who I connected with a while ago. He describes himself as a composer who writes music aiming to emulate live performance @you-had-me-at-e-flat-major is pretty well known, and has a voluminous portfolio. My favorite piece of his is “Three Images of Norway” which has an impressive duration of 30 minutes. @crap-iccioso writes music with influences extending well past the 20th century. You can hear it in her work. @larawritesmusic is an Australian composer. My personal favorite composition of hers is Gabrielle’s Waltz.

Edit: There are a few individuals I unintentionally forgot, sorry for not including you in the original post!

@anger-strablonsky​ captures human emotion well, especially considering his recordings are live. @the-versatile-composer​ not sure if I should include myself since I’m the OP, but I am a composer of Tumblr. @jesmusicblog had a successful series of her own called Pianowrimo in late 2018. Scores are included for an engaging experience. @lovelyhairedpianist LOVES dorian and the elvish effect it can make music have

@musicainextenso features a new composer every week! Check them out!

At the moment those are the individuals I can think of. People can contribute!

This post will continue to be edited to include any unlisted composers of tumblr who have audio of their original compositions posted on their blog.
