	Harold C. Schonberg - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Harold Charles Schonberg (November 29, 1915 - July 26, 2003) was a American music critic and journalist, most notably for the New York Times between 1960 and 1980.
		A graduate of Brooklyn College and New York University, Schonberg was born and brought up in New York.
		Schonberg is an extremely influential music writer, and has published a number of books concerning this subject.

		Schonberg was probably unique in that respect since he never wanted to be anything else, an ambition that crystallized as early as age 12 soon after seeing his first opera in 1927, Wagner's “Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg,” at the Metropolitan.
		Harold's weekly piece was already in type and on the page, but he threw it out, called for the Hurok clips, and had a lively, informed, and balanced 1,000-word essay ready to go in under 45 minutes.
		Harold bore being ignored stoically, but I think he was truly hurt that the newspaper he loved so much and had served so loyally would treat him so shabbily after he stepped down.

		Of these, the most legendary is Harold Gomberg, brother of the above-mentioned Ralph, who is leaving the New York Philharmonic at the end of this season after 34 years with the orchestra.
		Harold, who had started the oboe at his public school, auditioned for Marcel Tabuteau at the age of 11, was taken into Curtis and remained there until 17, at which time he became solo oboist with the National Symphony under Hans Kindler.
		It was at Curtis that Harold met an attractive harpist named Margaret Brill, who was studying with Carlos Salzedo.

	Harold Charles Schonberg (1915-2003)
		The most important lesson to be drawn from the life of Harold Schonberg is that he was great not because he was right.
		Schonberg's best writing arguably came after his 1980 retirement, during which he continued to contribute to the NYT and freelance for numerous other publications.
		Schonberg pointed to problems in a performance, but stopped short of suggesting solutions, which are up to the performer.

	Music Associates of America ~ MadAminA! The Critic's Dilemma
		Harold C. Schonberg, for 20 years the country's most powerful music critic, says in his latest book, Facing the Music, that a critic, at best, "can do nothing more than throw ideas around and make his readers think." Schonberg is too modest (though his reputation is for anything but modesty).
		But when you read a Schonberg review, you often felt you had experienced the concert he did, albeit with his eyes and ears.
		Schonberg is interested not just in his reactions to music but in composers, performers, instruments and auditoriums and what makes them tick.

	The Lives of the Great Composers (Main Page) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Schonberg discusses the lives and works of the foremost figures in classical music, among them Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, the Schumanns, Copland, and Stravinsky, weaving a fabric rich in detail and anecdote.
		Schonberg has extended the volume's coverage to provide informative and clearly written descriptions of the later serialists such as Stockhausen and Carter, the iconoclastic John Cage, the individualistic Messiaen, minimalist composers, the new tonalists, and women composers of all eras, including Mendelssohn Hensel, Chaminade, Smyth, Beach, and Zwilich.
		Harold C. Schonberg, senior New York Times music critic for twenty years, was the first in his field to be awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Criticism (1971).

		Schonberg's third edition of this perennial favourite includes a few subtle changes to the first edition (which I'd read numerous times), as well as new accounts of the serialists, tonalists, minimalists (and other -ists) who have bored and bewildered audiences during the last 45 years or so.
		Schonberg shows the composers warts and all, and our appreciation of their strengths and flaws (both musically and characterwise) is all the keener for his lack of pretentiousness.
		Schonberg also gives brief physical descriptions of the great composers, which caused me to reach a surprising conclusion: There seems to be a strong positive correlation between physical smallness and musical greatness.

	Classical Net Review - Chopin - Scherzos, Polonaise Fantasie, Barcarolle, Waltzes, Mazurkas
		Listen how, in the C Sharp Minor Scherzo, he layers the sound, the descending rippled accompaniments cascading like a water fountain, and a reminder of the great colourist he was.
		Harold C. Schonberg commented in his review of the concert that these were "interior" performances.
		Occasionally one misses the extra breadth of the studio recordings, as in the opening of the B Flat minor Scherzo, which sounds angry and forceful in 1965 and grandly Olympian in 1977, though generally the later accounts feel somewhat too removed and controlled by comparison.

	Harold C. Schonberg, 87, Who Won Pulitzer Prize as Music Critic for The Times, Dies
		Harold C. Schonberg, chief music critic of The Times from 1960 to 1980, in 1966.
		Schonberg had prepared a tape with two performances each (one by a man, one by a woman) of several works and had asked acquaintances to guess the sex of the player.
		The results, he wrote, were inconclusive, but the column, and a 1980 follow-up, drew an enormous number of letters and inspired classical radio disc jockeys across the country to present tests of their own.

	Amazon.co.uk: The Lives of the Great Composers: Books: Harold C. Schonberg (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Written for a lay public, Schonberg explores both the music of the composers and their influences, from Monteverdi to the minimalists of the late 20th century.
		Schonberg rather sets each composer in the context of their time - brief biographical notes being expanded by an analysis of their musical influences and an exploration of the themes and approaches which best characterise their work.
		First released in 1970, Schonberg remarks on the growing public disaffection with classical music, with its air of elitism and exclusivity, exacerbated by the too technical, philosophically and instrumentally atonal writing of the later 20th century which seemed to alienate people by exorcising emotion, optimism, and comprehensible melody.

	BACH Transcriptions for Piano by other Composers. Lauriala (Naxos) - INKPOT
		As Harold C. Schonberg points out in his book The Great Conductors, Bach (left) "was the bread and butter of every musician from 1750 to the great nineteenth-century revival." Mozart "discovered" his music and learned immensely from it.
		At the same time, a 19th-century school of thought prevailed that Bach's music had to be modernized for it to serve then-current fashion, that it was either too long or too plain to hold the public's attention.
		Matthew Passion, Schonberg writes, he "chopped, recomposed, edited, romanticized and introduced special effects, such as in the recitative "Und der Vorhang in Tempel zerriss," where a lightning flash of sound ran through the orchestra.

		The occasion was a celebration of the 75th birthdays of Harold C. Schonberg and Paul Hume, retired chief music critics, respectively, of The New York Times and The Washington Post.
		Schonberg's and Hume's thoughts on ''The Scene Today'' were supplemented by those of the Detroit News' Nancy Malitz and The Nation's David Hamilton.
		In the good old days, as Schonberg and Hume reminded the audience, big cities in this country had as many as four or five daily newspapers, each of which offered its readers a full complement of services that included commentary on as many classical music events as could possibly be covered.

	classical music - andante - mozart: piano concertos
		As usual, Busoni was ahead of his time, for while Mozart's genius was all but universally recognized from the beginning, his full emotional range has only been acknowledged in the past 100 years.
		But it remains a stirring emotional shock to turn to the Piano Concerto No. 24 in C minor (K. 491), as played by Robert Casadesus, which is immeasurably more intense than anything we might have imagined from what we heard previously.
		This is one of only two piano concertos Mozart wrote in a minor key — the other, the Concerto No. 20 in D minor (K. 466) is played and conducted here by Bruno Walter — and both are imbued throughout with a tragic grandeur that Gluck would have envied.

	INKPOT#73 CLASSICAL MUSIC REVIEWS: Book Review - "The Lives of the Great Composers" (Norton)
		Of course, all this contributes to the mass of this bulky volume, yet it is never a boring read because Harold C. Schonberg (b.1915) does not bother to start every chapter with the birth of the composer and work up from there.
		Schonberg even manages to find in Bartók a person who shares his conviction in Liszt, quoting him hailing Liszt's "absolutely new imaginative concepts".
		It is apparent that Schonberg gives credit to those composers who helped in music's progress in other ways than composing groundbreaking works like the "Eroica".

		"He could well have been the most nearly perfect violinist of his time," Harold Schonberg concluded in The New York Times, in the wake of Milstein's death on December 21, 1992.
		He was self-sufficient, unperturbed and always neat; his friends, his surroundings, his violin, his exquisite cashmere sweaters, all existed to augment his pleasure."

		Like every critic, The New York Times' Harold C. Schonberg knew that programming has as much to do with impulse, and maybe coin tosses, as deliberate decision.
		Schonberg's comments have a local application for me. In 23 years on Santa Fe's music scene, I've heard the same warhorses (or at least battle ponies) trotted out over and over by instrumental groups.
		Especially since the mid-1990s, safe repertoire and its repetition seem to be the order of the day.
