Enescu Story The story goes that George Enescu took on a young, untalented violinist as a pupil, to earn some money. The lad's father, who was rich, paid for a concert for his son, who was to play the violin while Enescu played the piano accompaniment. At the concert, a number of Enescu's friends turned up, including Cortot. Enescu needed some help with the score, and Cortot offered to turn the pages. The Paris press reported this curious event more or less as follows: "We were treated to a strange concert last night. The man who turned pages should have played the piano. The man who played the piano should have played the violin. The man who played the violin should have turned the pages." Back to Haig's main page

And you can hear Joshua Bell play the concerto live at the Mostly Mozart Festival on August 20th or 21st. Violinist Leonidas Kavakos and pianist Peter Nagy perform Enescu’s ten-movement “Impressions d’enfance,” evoking a stream at the bottom of the garden, a caged bird, a cuckoo clock, and a cricket, and other childhood memories. Villa-Lobos’s “Bachianas brazilieros” No. 8 is played by the Cincinnati Symphony under Jesus Lopez-Cobos; it brings us a combination of sensual Brazilian dance rhythms and melodies and rigorous Bachian contrapuntal textures and forms. We remain south of the border with music from the biopic “Frida” (about Mexican artist Frida Kahlo), but then hightail it off to Russia for Rachmaninoff’s piano Concerto No. 1, Byron Janis soloist, Kirill Kondrashin conducting the Moscow Philharmonic. And in Russia we stay, because we are still honoring Shostakovich, this time with his final String Quartet, No. 15, its six subdued and mostly somber uninterrupted movements played by the Keller Quartet.

Bohuslav Martinu is the most important Czech composer after Janacek, though most of his compositions, including his 14 operas, were written while he was away from Czechoslovakia. Bohuslav Martinu 1890 - 1959 Vaclav Klicpera 1792 - 1859 Martinu's works cover a variety of styles, including the one-act jazz opera Les larmes de couteau , three radio operas, and several full serious works. His most well known work is the 1937 radio opera Comedy on a Bridge . Based on the play of the same name by Vaclav Klicpera, the opera has been successfully transfered to the stage. A comedy about the absurdities of war, it remains a favourite for student performance. A previous radio opera, The Voice of the Forest , with words by the Czech poet Vitezslav Nezval, was broadcast by Czech Radio Prague in October 1935. Nezval also wrote the words to the first segment of Martinu's Marian opera, The Plays of Mary Vitezslav Nezval Nikos Kazantzakis Among Martinu's six full-length operas is The Greek Passion , based on the book Christ Recrucified by Nikos Kazantzakis.

scraping horse hair over cat guts to evoke the most expressive of feelings. And of all the great works written for strings, perhaps Bach's Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin One mystery the work avoids is authenticity. Unlike much of his output which scholars have had to reconstruct from copies and arrangements (and that's only the estimated half that hasn't been forever lost), we have Bach's original autograph score. And unlike most of his work that was forgotten after his death in 1750 and only rediscovered a century or more later, the Sonatas and Partitas Written in 1720, the Sonatas and Partitas chaconne in which a single idea resonates through 31 variations that embrace a universe of artistry and expression. While many of the dances are written in a single continuous voice, and thus suitable for a violin, most of the slower pieces and especially the fugues and the chaconne Consistent with his reputation at the time as a dry academic, Bach is rarely heard on the earliest records, but portions of the Sonatas and Partitas are a constant exception.

Throughout his life Enescu maintained a close relationship with New York, returning there to teach, perform as a violinist, and conduct the New York Philharmonic; in 1936 he was one of the candidates considered to replace Toscanini as its permanent conductor. After World War II he gave lessons at the David Mannes School of Music. The conference, which will take place at The Graduate Center of the City University of New York, will examine the political and cultural context of Enescu's activities in his native country, Europe, and the United States.

~ Famous Romanians ~ Constantin Brâncusi (1876 – 1957) Born on Feb. 21, 1876 in Hobita, Romania, he is a world famous artist who pioneered modern abstract sculpture. As a kid, he looked after his family's flock of sheep and learned how to carve wood. Later, Brâncusi's work was strongly influenced by traditional patterns. In 1894 he entered the School of Arts and Crafts with the help of a local industrialist. In 1898 he was admitted to the Bucharest School of Fine Arts. Brâncusi soon became curious about artistic movements abroad. In 1904, he decided to go to Paris. Brâncusi entered the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and later the workshop of the great french sculptor Auguste Rodin. However he left the master quite soon, convinced that " Only grass can grow in the shadow of the great trees ". In Paris he also became friends with the painters Amedeo Modigliani and Henri Rousseau. In 1937 and 1938 Brâncusi created a sculptural ensemble in the Romanian town of Targu Jiu. These three important pieces - "The silent Table", "The Gate of the Kiss", and "The Endless Column" - are based on the idea of a "Temple of Meditation", serving as a tribute to the Romanian soldiers who died in World War I. Brâncusi's works attracted many great art collectors. Many of his works can now be seen in museums across the United States, including at the National Gallery of Art here in Washington, DC.
