Tatiana Troyanos with Justino Diaz, interview at Casals Festival 1985 (interview in English) 1 of 2

Tatiana Troyanos with Justino Diaz, interview at Casals Festival 1985 (interview in English) 1 of 2 Special thanks to fairlytaleofnewyork for her help. Tatiana Troyanos - Biography US mezzo-soprano Tatiana Troyanos (Sept. 12, 1938, New York - Aug. 21, 1993, New York), was renowned for her dark, warm, emotional voice; also a skilled actress, she had a wide repertoire, much of which she recorded. Troyanos first studied piano before an interest in singing developed during her teenage years. After high school she studied at the Juilliard School, New York City, and with Hans Heinz. She then sang in summer stock and on Broadway and in 1963 made her debut with the New York City Opera. In the 1965-66 season Troyanos began a 10-year association with the Hamburg (West Germany) State Opera; among the highlights of her years there was creation of the role of Jeanne in the world premiere of Krzysztof Pendereckis The Devils of Loudon (1969). She had earlier gained wide European acclaim, however, as the Composer (one of the trouser roles with which she became identified) in Richard Strausss Ariadne auf Naxos at the 1966 Aix-en-Provence (France) Festival. Troyanos sang the title role in Handels Ariodante at the opening of the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, in 1971 and made her Metropolitan Opera debut in 1976 as Octavian in Strausss Der Rosenkavalier. Other roles for which she was especially known include Cherubino in Mozarts The Marriage of Figaro, the title role in Bizets Carmen ...

"Getting there is half the fun" Ericandme's photos around Vienna, Austria

Preview of Ericandme's blog at TravelPod. Read the full blog here: travelpod.com This blog preview was made by TravelPod using the TripAdvisor™ TripWow slideshow creator. Entry from: Vienna, Austria Entry Title: "Getting there is half the fun..." Entry: "June 23, 2005, 4 am Airplanes Suck, but Air France food is acceptable At 4:00 am, Eric's fifty-five alarms drive him out of the bed in San Francisco. Bill-who was the most important alarm-- also calls, just to make sure Eric really is up. Already packed, and ready to step out the door, Eric is already missed by the cats, who thoughtfully leave him with parting gifts of an organic nature on the living room floor. Delay number 1. But, he gets on the road and makes it Bill's house, where the car is going to be stashed for the price of one bottle of Ravenswood Rhone style Icon wine, and in no time at all, he's waiting on the security line at Oakland Airport. Around the baggage claim, out the door, down the street... to the next terminal... On the Jet Blue flight Eric begs and pleads for a front row seat, so he can get a sprinting start to make his fifty second connection to Air France at JFK. It's an uneventfully crammed flight, though, and our hero makes it through to New York relatively unscathed. Despite getting on the wrong airport monorail train, and going the wrong direction, he makes onto the flight to Charles de Gaulle with only a few snooty run-ins with their impeccably manicured staff. But when they place glass ...

Ernest Guiraud (Ballet Gretna-Green,)

Bolshoi's "Coppélia" w/ Alexandrova: Act III (3/3)

**see clip 1 for general historical notes **Notes on the pas de deux - The Bolshoi has used the costume design of the Tsar Maiden from the Imperial Ballet's production of "The Little Humpbacked Horse" as a costume for Swanilda, which helps to explain her magnificently regal look. It was not until "Coppélia" came to Russia (or perhaps a little earlier) that the piece titled "La Paix" began to serve as an Adage for what is now a Grand pas de deux classique. This may have everything to do with the fact that the role of Franz was originally a travesty role, ie performed by a woman in male garb. **Extra female solo ("Le Travail": Variation for Dionisiia Potapenko, 1904) - This variation is notated as "Le Travail" ("Work"), a female solo celebrating the harvest, & borrowing its title & theme (at least with regard to the costume) from the number in the divertissement. It is set to the music for the male variation from Delibes' ballet "Sylvia", which companies all over the world usually use as an inserted variation for Franz. This solo was arranged by Petipa especially for the ballerina Dionisiia Potapenko in 1904. The old Maestro Petipa mentions attending the performance of "Coppélia" in his diaries, calling her performance "awful", & going on to complain that a review in the local paper said she danced well, which he found "sickening"!! **"Dance of the Bridegroom", supplemental solo for Franz - As men began to take over the travesty role of Franz things began to change in ...

This snippet from "Polovtsian Dances" or "Dance of the Polovtsian Maidens" is perhaps the most well-known theme from the opera "Prince Igor" by Borodin, even finding its way into mainstream culture with its inclusion in a Warren G song. Borodin, for whom composing was a hobby, never got to finish the score for the opera, and it was later completed by among others Rimsky-Korsakov (he of bumblebee fame)

George Enesco si Poema Romana

George Enescu descrie opera sa coompysa la virsta de 16 ani, Poema Romana. Biography Young George EnescuHe was born in the village of Liveni (later renamed "George Enescu" in his honor), Dorohoi County at the time, today Boto?ani County. He showed musical talent from early in his childhood. A child prodigy, Enescu created his first musical composition at the age of five. Shortly thereafter, his father presented him to the professor and composer Eduard Caudella. At the age of seven, he entered the Vienna Conservatory, where he studied with Joseph Hellmesberger, Jr., Robert Fuchs, and Sigismund Bachrich, and graduated before his 13th birthday, earning the silver medal. In his Viennese concerts young Enescu played works by Brahms, Sarasate and Mendelssohn. In 1895 he went to Paris to continue his studies. He studied violin with Martin Pierre Marsick, harmony with André Gédalge, and composition with Jules Massenet and Gabriel Fauré. Many of Enescu's works were influenced by Romanian folk music, his most popular compositions being the two Romanian Rhapsodies (19012), the opera Œdipe (1936), and the suites for orchestra. He also wrote five symphonies (two of them unfinished), a symphonic poem Vox maris, and much chamber music (three sonatas for violin and piano, two for cello and piano, a piano trio, quartets with and without piano, a wind decet (French, "dixtuor"), an octet for strings, a piano quintet, a chamber symphony for twelve solo instruments).

What is the instrument used in Le Coucou? On the album, "25 Candlelight Favorites".It's called:Pieces de Clavacin for harpsichord, 1st book - Le Coucou by Claude DaquinI know it says it's for harpsichord but, unless I am wrong, it doesn't sound like one.

The piece was definitely originally composed for harpsichord, but on the album '25 Candlelight Favourites' it is performed on the organ.

Royal College and Academy of Music Auditions? I'm a pianist (14 years old) and started to play seriously about four years agoi'm auditioning for both but i don't know how good you have to be, cause all the audition requirements are really high! i'm playing two grade 7/8-ish pieces: chopin waltz in e minor posth. and le coucou by daquin. ic an do aural but my sight readings a bit dodgy, one good thing is i have a reference from my head of music, which i guess helps :) and i'm really passionate and commiteddo i stand a chance?
I don't know what the audition requirements are there, or what their standards are, but if it's anything like in the states, then the answer is probably no...Of course I can't judge to well from a short paragraph, and I would really have to hear you play, but you don't give the impression of being a serious student. That's not to question your commitment and dedication; I just consider there to be a difference between a 'student' and a serious student, one who studies at conservatory and performs and competes for the next decade without any serious recognition. I don't really know what the 'grades' are that you say you're at, but I can tell you that no serious student of the piano would need to reference them. At the level you have to be at to get into good schools of music in America, you should already be able to master pretty much anything on your own, because you're not going to a conservatory to be taught technique. You're going to learn the distinguished tradition of interpretation and musicality that can usually be traced back to some big names in music (my line of teachers goes back to Liszt, Beethoven, Czerny, Debussy, Tanyev, Chopin...). Thus, when you're at conservatory, you may find yourself working just as hard on a technically simple Mozart sonata as on some gargantuan, complex piece by Liszt or Stravinsky. Again, if these places are anything like in the states, the audition requirements would already seem to be a bit over your head. I imagine that they would require a classical sonata movement or a full sonata, for which you would likely want a good Beethoven. This alone can make or break your audition; your treatment of something so classic as Beethoven counts for a lot in the minds of the judges. You'd also need an etude, probably by Liszt, Chopin, Scriabin etc.; this is basically to show off your technical skill, so there's no chance of getting away with an easy one unless your interpretation is simply amazing. They will know if you play a mediocre rendition of a 'simple' Chopin etude that you chose it to avoid having to perform technical feats above your skill level. Besides a few other requirements that tend to vary between specific schools, you'd need a Bach prelude and fugue, which will definitely be the hardest piece you've ever played. A fugue is a mean thing to master in any medium, but particularly so on a keyboard instrument. There's so much to think about musically, then there's the mechanics of making every voice sound well-phrased and continuous. It takes a long time for a professional to polish a fugue the way he wants it, so it's a high standard to meet for a beginning student. It's also something you'd definitely need a teacher's assistance on. My best advice to you is to study with the best teachers you can until college age (18 in the UK too?) and then ask them what's up. I didn't apply to conservatories on graduating high school; I wasn't ready, so I went to a state school to continue study with my current teacher, who is actually a Julliard grad. I don't know if schooling and degrees are equivalent in the UK, but here's what he told me: 'No one cares where you do your undergraduate studies, often even your masters studies. If you want a real career in music, you need a doctorate, and seeing as there's no chance of you getting into a top-rank conservatory right now, you may as well study somewhere cheaper and more intermediate until you've reached the skill level you need to get into a conservatory.' That was all directed at me, but it applies to you perfectly. Find a good teacher, possibly at a small college or university, and study at that level until they think you are conservatory material.

Decent Piano Pieces to Learn? Hi. I need 2 or 3 suggestions for a new piano piece to learn. Over the past few months I have been playing....SolfeggiettoGiorni Dispari-EinaudiChopin Prelude in E MinorLe Coucou-DaquinFur EliseLets Call The Whole Thing Off-GershwinI have also been practising other things around Grade 5/6 ABRSM and I am looking for a piece which is challenging but realistic for me to learn in around a month. It would also be great if the Key Signature is not too difficult.Also, anything by Chopin-I ADORE, so any easier pieces would be great.Or Even something Lively. Many Thankssss :D

Something lively: Beethoven Sonata Op. 49 No. 2By Chopin: Funeral March from Sonata No. 2
Give some Mozart a go. His famous c major sonata k.545 is very good for your technique and ability to keep in time. It's doable in a month and it's also very patterned so that makes it easier. If youre into the Chopin, I'd try some of his mazurkas, his c major is simple and quick if you want a short one. His minute waltz is good, but the ornaments and trills may be difficult to overcome in a short amount of time. Hope this helped. Good luck!

I learned "Phantom of the Opera" in a couple weeks. Also, from the same music book, play, and movie "Music of the Night". Neither of these are insanely hard pieces, although I'm having a hard time playing the bass clef with it, I will get the hang of it eventually, but Music of the Night is fairly easy. I hope I helped.

here are some of my favourite pieces, hope you like them too :)ludovico einaudi - le onde and I giornifaure - romance sans parolesmichael nyman - the heart asks pleasure first and big my secret (this one is more challenging but i learnt it when i was at grade 6 level)yiruma - love meliszt - lieberstraum

i know its not classical, but anything by yann tiersen. some of his stuff is more difficult to play, but songs like comptine d'un autre ete: l'apres midi or l'absente are pretty easy to play
