Robert Schumann's Piano Sonata No. 1 In F-Sharp Minor, Op. 11–Style And Structure, Stephanie Abigail Emberley

Dissertations, 2014-2019

Robert Schumann's music reflects the complexity of his life and psyche. Even Schumann himself acknowledged the challenges this presented to anyone attempting to understand his music, and the Piano Sonata no. 1 in F-sharp minor, op. 11 is an example of the complex inter-relationship between Schumann's music and life. This document will have a three-fold approach to discussing Schumann's Sonata. I will outline the literary characteristics of German Romantic authors, discuss how Schumann musically interprets these characteristics while reflecting other composers, and show how these techniques help add extra-musical significance to op. 11, particularly in connection with Clara.

Robert Schumann's …

Pedagogical Use Of Cinematic Imagery In Augusta Read Thomas's Piano Etudes, Luis Bernardo Gonzalez

Dissertations, 2014-2019

This document is a study of Augusta Read Thomas’s piano études from the point of view of mood and atmosphere. These expressive aspects of Thomas’s piano pieces spring out from both the descriptive titles and from the suggestive piano writing. The music analysis of Thomas’s piano études utilizes cinema art as a means to elaborate on musical imagery, based on the cinema’s potential to convey mood and atmosphere. The crossroads between Thomas’s piano études and cinema art affords to create a pedagogical tool as a means for expressive and convincing performances of Thomas’s pieces.

Artistic Influence, Stylistic Irony, And Musical Reference In Dmitri Shostakovich’S Cello Concerto No. 1, Ryan Michael Hoffman

Dissertations, 2014-2019

This paper examines Dmitri Shostakovich’s Cello Concerto No. 1, opus 107, as an exemplary work of the composer. In order to attempt a holistic understanding of the piece, I approached it in several ways. First, I examined the influence of several composers, including Saint-Saëns, Prokofiev, and especially Mahler. Mahler’s influence is most significant in the juxtaposition of incongruous elements, often to ironic effect. My second major topic of interest is in harmonic processes particular to Shostakovich. His use of harmony is unique in the way it successfully avoids traditional tonal processes while remaining accessible and engaging to the listener. My …

The Choral Music Of James E. Fritschel With A Conductor's Special Focus On The Preparation Of His Polychoral Compositions, Jennifer Vanderholm

Glenn Korff School of Music: Dissertations, Theses, Student Creative Work, and Performances

Polychoral compositions have been present since the late Renaissance and early Baroque periods. Oftentimes, the polychoral compositions performed today are compositions written during these early musical periods. In the latter half of the twentieth century, James Erwin Fritschel (b. 1929) wrote polychoral compositions that match the level of difficulty and excitement of the early polychoral compositions of the late Renaissance and early Baroque periods. Fritschel’s compositions have been celebrated by leading choral programs throughout the world, yet there is a notable lack of academic analysis of his works. The purpose of this document is to serve as a resource for …

Mary In Three Movements, John E. Accola, Jr

Master of Liberal Studies Theses

Mary in Three Movements is an imagined account of how Mary might have felt and observed her experiences through the three most important events of both Christian and human existence, the conception, the birth, and finally the death of her son. I have attempted to remain true to the biblical Marian references which primarily speak to Mary as a young woman in a first century patriarchal Roman Jewish society. Therefore, I have taken these three events and put them to verse for mezzo-soprano with piano accompaniment. The accompanying paper outlines both the historical and musical context in which this project …
