Nova Vista Program Notes Whether the music recalls familiar themes or the themes became familiar through the symphony's popularity, it remains one of the best-loved and oft-played works in classical repertoire. Always a devoted admirer of Mozart although he developed his own distinctive style, Tchaikovsky paid tribute to the master with a piece that suggested the Mozart style, entitled Variations on a Rococo Theme, using the 18th century term for a highly ornamental period in architecture and art. While he explored spirituals and plantation songs, Indian chants, Creole songs, and other indigenous music, he made it definitely known that he did not "borrow" melodies or themes, but incorporated elements of native melodies in his own original music which remained firmly Bohemian in character. www.novavista.org /2000-2001/2000_11_notes.html   (945 words)

* Dusted Reviews - To Rococo Rot * To Rococo Rot are fascinated with sound placement, making sure that every note sits just right, that there is no excess or flab weighing down the effortless, gilded glide of their music. To Rococo Rot's Hotel Morgen is seductive and suggestively sculpted; romance music for people with unforced, natural, and charmingly contrary style. The trite melodicism, indie-gone-powerbook incapacitation, and general sense of overwhelming underachievement — To Rococo Rot are miles away from all that. www.dustedmagazine.com /reviews/1373   (414 words)

Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra    Program Notes Though the theme of Opus 33 is original and has no particular Mozartean character, the Variations did achieve an early success, unlike so much of Tchaikovsky’s music, which he thought of as failures until the day he died. Tchaikovsky wrote the Variations on a Rococo Theme for the cellist Wilhelm Fitzenhagen, who played a major role in the final shape of the piece. In October he wrote a brief note explaining the origin and purpose of the suite: “A large number of admirable small compositions of Mozart are, incomprehensibly enough, practically unknown, not only to the public, but also to musicians. www.laco.org /56programnotes1.html   (941 words)

Honolulu Star-Bulletin Features In Tchaikovsky's lifetime, the term "rococo" was often applied to anything ornately decorated or old-fashioned, but he did intend the adjective to be restricted to a particular mid-18th-century style of art, architecture and music. The rococo theme is an example of how Tchaikovsky saw or heard the past filtered through his Russian and Romantic sensibilities. With these two contrasting works, "Tsutsumi will demonstrate his boundless virtuosity and emotional range," said Samuel Wong, the symphony's music director. starbulletin.com /2003/10/10/features/story8.html   (475 words)

NEP Program Notes - March 3, 2004 Variations on a Rococo Theme for Cello and Orchestra, op. The use of a passacaglia harkens back to baroque music, the techniques of which Harris studied, and his melody's modality and his use of organum effects, based on a related variation form from the Middle Ages, further corroborates his fascination with early music. The theme itself is immediately presented by the mid-to-low woodwinds, accompanied by the remaining woodwinds and the strings. www.nephilharmonic.org /notes-2004-03-03.shtml   (1206 words)

VistaVera Classical CD / Works for cello and orchestra. Victor Simon. Tchaikovsky Symphony Orchestra. Vladimir Fedoseyev. But it was Tchaikovsky in his Variations on a Rococo Theme (1876) who was able to bring together both chamber and virtuoso and concert aspects of the instrument. The theme belongs to Tchaikovsky himself but by its style is rather close to the music of Vienna classics, for instance, Joseph Haydn, or Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Schuman's concerto appears to be a musical poem, variations on the main theme of the composition. www.vistavera.com /cd/58.html   (894 words)

Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, RPO, London, UK, classical music concerts and recordings, Music Director Daniele Gatti ‘Having played both versions of the Rococo Variations, my impression is that Tchaikovsky’s own version has a much better structure, with each variation flowing more naturally into the next. This performance will feature the rarely heard orginal version of Tchaikovsky's Variations on a Rococo Theme (rather than the more widely performed Fitzenhagen arrangement). If someone were to ask me for advice on writing for cello and orchestra, I would point them straight away to the Rococo. www.rpo.co.uk /c_t_rpo_season_detail.asp?ConcertID=574   (282 words)

Galante music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Telemann 's later music, Bach's sons, Quantz, Hasse, Giovanni Battista Sammartini, Giuseppe Tartini, Galuppi, Stamitz, Domenico Alberti, and early Mozart are exemplars of Galante style. The rejection of so much accumulated learning and formula in music is paralleled only by the rejection in the early 20th century of the entire structure of key relationships. The folk-song element in poetry, like the singable cantabile melody in galante music, was brought to public notice in Thomas Percy 's Reliques of Ancient poetry (1765) and James Macpherson 's " Ossian" inventions during the 1760s. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Galante_music   (365 words)

Claude Debussy biography - 8notes.com Debussy wrote much piano music although the most important of them to begin with are works which, Verlaine fashion, look back at rococo decorousness with a modern cynicism and puzzlement (Suite bergamasque, 1890; Pour le piano, 1901). But then, as in the orchestral pieces, Debussy began to associate his music with visual impressions of the East, Spain, landscapes etc, in a sequence of sets of short pieces. Often dubbed a musical impressionist, but his music always has a strong sense of form. www.8notes.com /biographies/debussy.asp   (980 words)
