Extractions: Photo by Jersey PTG. N.Y. Josef Raieff, pianist and long-time teacher to musicians at both The Juilliard School and Mannes College of Music, died on December 11 at the age of 96. Josef Raieff began his career in 1923 by making several piano rolls for Steinway in New York, prior to his Chicago debut in 1924 at Studebaker Theater and a subsequent performance with the Chicago Symphony in Kimball Hall. His well-reviewed New York debut at Town Hall took place in 1938, and he had returned for six more recitals at Town Hall by 1952. Read a tribute to Josef Raieff by a former student, the pianist Louis Nagel. Raieff interrupted his teaching career to join the army during World War II, but continued to concertize extensively for army and civilian personnel. In 1945 he resumed his regular concert career and returned to Juilliard to teach, continuing through the 2000-01 academic year, after which he gained emeritus status. (He was particularly proud of the fact that he had taught during the tenures of all six presidents who have led the School.) Raeiff served as chairman of the piano faculty in 1970-71. Among his pupils are the pianists John Bayless and Kenneth Merrill. His wife, Mary Elisabeth Raieff (also a Juilliard-trained pianist), died in February 2000. Josef Raieff is survived by two daughters and one granddaughter.

Extractions: Early Piano Rolls In the heyday of the player piano, music roll manufacturers recorded the performances of a number of famous pianists and issued rolls of their work. Here are just a few names that spring to mind:- George Gershwin, Thomas 'Fats' Waller, James P Johnson, Jelly Roll Morton, Vee Lawnhurst, Frank Milne, Percy Grainger, Liberace, Eubie Blake, Scott Joplin, Constance Mering, Harold Bauer, Phil Ohman, Frank Banta , Ignace Paderewski, Pauline Alpert, Myra Hess, Rudolf Ganz, Victor Arden and Alfred Cortot. Left to right: Thomas 'Fats' Waller, 'Jelly Roll' Morton, James P. Johnson, Scott Joplin, George Gershwin, Vee Lawnhurst. The pianist would perform upon a purpose-built recording piano, the keys and pedals of which were equipped with electrical contacts. The notes played were registered by a series of marking pens on a master roll, which was subsequently perforated by hand and any mistakes rectified. In some instances, a high speed perforator was used in preference to the marking apparatus. Most hand-played rolls were intended for use on the reproducing piano and thus it was necessary throughout the recording session to accurately determine all dynamic variations in the music. Some roll manufacturers achieved this by measurement of hammer and key velocity, while others relied upon the presence of an engineer, who interpreted this aspect of the performance by ear and skilfully calculated appropriate dynamic coding for the finished roll.

Extractions: That the study of performance practice per se is important to the study of music and its creators and performers cannot be doubted. Further, an organized investigation into the historical aspects of performance practicei.e., performance standards and options within a particular milieu during a set time periodcan offer understanding to the nature of the music and its aesthetics in a manner ranging from merely noteworthy through useful to indispensable. Certainly many factors have influenced changes in performance practice from the middle of the nineteenth century to the present date. In terms of orchestral performance, the most influential factors must include the following: the existence of fully-professional orchestras, standing bodies with set personnel and planned schedules of rehearsal, performance, broadcast and recording, thus affording the development of technique and ensemble; the advent of virtuoso perfectionist conductors, beginning (for the purposes of this study) with the much-beleaguered Berlioz and stretching through such This last circumstancethat of the technical advancement as heavy influence upon performance practicecannot be sufficiently stressed. It is tritely remarked that the advent of broadcast and of recordings has brought music closer to a larger audience than has ever existed previously in human history; the depth of this influence becomes almost unfathomable whenever it is casually remarked, for example, that a single televised performance of a particular opera has been seen (and may continue to be seen, by recording and repeated playing or broadcast) by more people than had ever seen that opera in live performance up to that time.
Benjamin Intartaglia famous Jelly Roll Morton specialist, the excellent jazz pianist Butch Thompson . Sergei Rachmanonov, Serge Prokofiev, Ignaz Friedman, harold bauer, http://www.ragtime.nu/intartaglia.htm
Extractions: Benjamin Intartaglia was born on April 3, 1981, in Paris, France. He started to play piano at the age of 5, and organ at age 12. Here is Benjamin's biographical sketch in his own words: My passion for ragtime music is recent although I have listened to it since a very early age because my father often listened to the famous movie soundtrack of "The Sting" , featuring Scott Joplin's music. At age 5, despite my deafness, I started to attend music courses, initially with a young and passionate jazz piano player and next at the conservatory. When an organist visited my primary school to speak about his passion and profession, he invited us to hear him play at his own Great Organ at the Jacques Decour lyceum chapel. Since then I've been interested in the "pope of the instruments", as Franz Liszt called the great organ. After completing organ courses (with improvisation, graduated in organ at age 18 composition, and accompaniment-related subjects), I graduated in organ at 18. After being titularized (made a church's head organist) at age 16 at the Saint-Jean Bosco church in Paris, France, I discontinued my professional organ activities in 1999. Now, although I play organ only for fun from time to time (when I'm not busy with other music activities), I'm always delighted to hear my organ colleagues when they play for recitals or concerts.

MacMillan's American friends advised him to go to Nuremberg to seek advice from the American Consul. On August 4, England declared war on Germany. MacMillan, as a British subject, was considered an enemy alien and required to register with the Nuremberg police. After doing so, he returned to Bayreuth for the Festival. Shortly after his twenty-first birthday, arrangements were made for the Burgesses to leave Europe. MacMillan accompanied them to Nuremberg for their departure. He was instructed to remain in the city until the international situation had been clarified and to report daily to the police. The American Consul took MacMillan under his wing and recommended that he take a room at the Pension Trefzer. This became his home for the next four months.

Extractions: Email: tedel@uic.edu Pianist Theodore Edel's tours in the United States, in Europe and in the Far East, as recitalist and soloist with orchestra, have brought him much critical applause. Describing his performance of Liszt's Années de Pèlerinage-Italy, the New York Times says: "Mr. Edel has the heroic technique these works demand. His interpretations were passionate, yet tempered by intellect, and he made the music convincing." Of his coupling of the Bach Goldberg Variations with the Liszt B minor Sonata, it later noted: "Mr. Edel has more in store than an ambitious stunt. He proved to be a superbly equipped pianist with a vivid affinity for both compositions." The Washington Post called him a "superb lyricist" and found his performance of the 'Dante' Sonata "filled with drama". A native of New York City, Theodore Edel has Bachelor and Master's Degrees from the Juilliard School, where he studied with Jacob Lateiner. He later coached with Arminda Canteros, and earned a Doctorate and the Harold Bauer Award at the Manhattan School of Music under Constance Keene. A Fulbright Grant sent him to Rome for a year of study during which he concertized extensively throughout Italy, and played before the Italian Parliament. At his London debut in Wigmore Hall, the Daily Telegraph called him "clearly one of a new breed of serious young artists" His subsequent New York debut was launched by an Artists International Management Award at Carnegie Recital Hall.
