	Essays in Musical Analysis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Donald Francis Tovey's Essays in Musical Analysis are a series of analytical essays on classical music.
		His fondness for 'Humpty-Dumpty-ish' language may irritate at times, but overall Tovey's achievement is impressive: very few commentators have been able to communicate clearly with a non-specialist readership at the same time as revealing so much that is of interest to the trained musician and musicologist.
		In the Essays Tovey saw his role as being "counsel for the defence" (Introduction to Volume I): in speaking up on behalf of the work about to be performed, he was seeking to facilitate the listener's appreciation of its artistic content and technical merits.

		Tovey: No, I only met him a couple times when he was home, when those photos were taken and I barely remember talking to him.
		Tovey: Um, I've talked to several of my aunts, matter of fact we were on the phone last night until almost ten o'clock talking about some of it.
		Tovey: No, but what I've been told is that he had gone for one full tour and liked it and returned for a second tour, so other than that I couldn't help you as far as how long.

	SYMPHONY IN D, OPUS 32 BY DONALD FRANCIS TOVEY - June 2005 MusicWeb-International (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Tovey was a pianist and what might seem simple on the piano can be extremely difficult on a brass or woodwind instrument that occasionally needs to take a breath.
		George considers that Tovey’s changes of tempo from Adagio to Largo Maestoso to Andante and back to Adagio are interrupting the flow of the music and decides to keep relatively the same tempo all the way through.
		Donald Francis Tovey was regarded by his peers as a ‘musician’s musician’ and does not deserve to be remembered only as the author of ‘essays in musical analysis’ but as an outstanding British musician and composer in his own right.

		I disagree with Tovey’s contention that the tonality of the movement’s second couplet (C) remains in VI major throughout.
		Tovey describes the return of this couplet to the main theme as “fourteen bars of preparation on the home dominant.” These fourteen bars are actually begun four measures before, at measure 102.
		When the melody reaches its height of Ab, the accompaniment outlines both times the upper and chromatic lower neighbors of the C minor triad in back-to-back fashion that is hard for the listener to overlook, concomitantly extending the “rondo motif” of C and its lower chromatic neighbor.

	Scotsman.com News - Features - Rock guru brings a radical perspective to Tovey chair
		Frith, a sociologist who gained his PhD from the University of California with a thesis on elementary schooling in 19th-century Leeds, and who is currently professor of media and film at Stirling University, is probably best known among those of a certain age for his engaging newspaper columns of the 1970s and 1980s on pop.
		Tovey professors at Edinburgh have generally been musicologists firmly focused on the past - entrenched in the mysteries of 16th-century counterpoint or unravelling a symphony through Schenkerian analysis.
		As well as triggering the re-instatement of the Tovey chair - which has gathered dust, unfilled, for nearly a decade - it is, I believe, a sign that the university's music department, still smarting from its recent loss of faculty status and the stripping away of its historic Reid Library, is planning a vigorous future.

	Emigration
		A chance meeting with Sir Donald Tovey, a distinguished musician and music scholar in whom Gál recognised a kindred spirit, led to an invitation to Edinburgh, where Tovey held the chair of music at the University.
		Since there was no free post available at that time, for the time being Tovey engaged him on the reorganisation and cataloguing of the Reid Music Library, giving him welcome employment for the summer and autumn of 1938.
		But Tovey suffered a heart attack shortly afterwards and died before he could arrange the hoped-for teaching engagement.

	"Music Born of the Heart: J. S. Bach" By I. M. Oderberg
		Until the 1930s, when Sir Donald Tovey proved the contrary, it was thought to be too abstract and utterly unplayable, a sort of text in musical score to demonstrate the ultimate ingenuity of fugue-writing.
		But when it was arranged for stringed instruments (with a conjectured completion by Sir Donald Tovey), the recording revealed a music full of life, imbued with tenderness and the quality of a song.
		Many years ago, when I first heard the recorded performance with Tovey's conclusion, I felt the whole composition to be a fitting climax to Bach's career, the inversion in the work suggesting the withdrawal of the soul from its earthly dwelling and return to its primal source.

	Editorial
		It seems a pity to consign the considered opinions of such an excellent musician as Tovey to the intellectual dustbin simply because he did not enjoy posthumously the fruits of later research.
		Tovey's views on Bach's music may seem curious in part to us today, particularly in his advocacy of the pianoforte as a continuo instrument, but in one respect they teach us an invaluable lesson.
		Tovey based his conclusions on sympathetic analysis and understanding of the music.

	The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center
		Though an impressive pianist, Sir Donald settled in as a professor of music at the University of Edinburgh, where he taught for a couple of decades beginning in 1914, and he made his most enduring mark by authoring brilliant analyses of musical masterworks, which he published as program notes.
		A publisher commissioned Mozart to write a set of works for this combination, but after he received the first (in G minor) he was so horrified by its technical challenges that he withdrew his offer for the rest.
		(Or, as Tovey put it, they “should have been six but that the publisher cried off his bargain because of their difficulty.”) Mozart persevered through a second piece all the same, and fortunately we have the E flat major Piano Quartet as the happy result.

		For much of the twentieth century, Donald Francis Tovey (1875-1940) was Britain's most celebrated and influential writer on music, largely as a result of the considerable corpus of his work published by Oxford University Press in the 1930s and posthumously in the 1940s.
		Initially edited by Michael Tilmouth, late Tovey Professor of Music at the University of Edinburgh, the volume has been completed by David Kimbell and Roger Savage, also of Edinburgh - the institution at which Tovey himself held the Reid Chair of Music from 1914.

	Donald Francis Tovey - Classical music composer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		As befitted a renowned scholar and educationist, Tovey's own music was much influenced by the classics, especially Brahms, and was considered extremely 'old-fashioned' within his lifetime.
		As well as being a virtuoso pianist, editor, scholar, conductor and all-round educator, Tovey was a composer of considerable mastery.
		He founded the Reid Orchestra in 1917 and for its concerts wrote the famous series of programme notes eventually published in six volumes as 'Essays in Musical Analysis'.

		The importance of a radical empiricist stance stems from the need to account for a treatment of meanings in the humanities that is far beyond the scope — though not perhaps the aspirations — of the formal semanticists in computer science and AI (Smith 1987).
		Consider the audacity of the following extract from Maurice Brown's commentary on the Erlkoenig: "Even more remarkable, as was first pointed out by Sir Donald Tovey in a superb programme note on the song, is the treatment of the pianoforte when the childspeaks.
		During the rest of the song we are observers: we watch the ride, we hear the child's voice and the father's reassuring answers.

	Commentary - The Major Minor Mozart (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		To my mind, no one has done a better job of concisely explaining what makes Mozart Mozart than Donald Tovey, whose essay on the G Minor Symphony, K. 550, the greatest of the minor-key works, is a convenient starting point.
		Tovey offers a seeming paradox that will startle many readers: “We can only belittle and vulgarize our ideas of Mozart by trying to construe him as a tragic artist.” What could he possibly mean, especially with reference to the G Minor Symphony, still widely regarded as the locus classicus of tragedy in music?
		The answer, Tovey replies, is that Mozart was up to something altogether different: “Mozart’s whole musical language is, and remains throughout, the language of comic opera.”

		English composer of the generation which followed Stanford, Elgar, Parry, etc (in other words: roughly contemporary with Vaughan Williams, Granville Bantock, Donald Tovey, Frank Bridge and Samuel Coleridge-Taylor; older than Arthur Bliss, Walton, etc).
		Largely self-taught, Brian (William was his birth name; Havergal adopted in 1899) was best known as a composer in the period immediately prior to the Great War (WWI), when his short orchestral pieces were performed by Beecham, Wood, etc...
		Interest in the music of Brian was revived in the last years of his life through the efforts of the young Robert Simpson (then a producer with the BBC) amongst others; with performances of the "Gothic" Symphony and recordings of his symphonies by Myer Fredman, Charles Groves and Charles Mackerras.
