Schein and many other, 2024
This Week in Classical Music: January 15, 2024. Schein and much more. Several composers were born this week: Niccolò Piccinni (b. 1/16/1728), a nearly forgotten Italian composer who was famous in his day for his Neapolitan opera buffa; Cesar Cui (b. 1/18/1835), a Russian composer of French descent (his father entered Russia with Napoleon) and a member of the Mighty Five; Emmanuel Chabrier (b. 1/18/1841), a mostly self-taught French composer, whose España is his best-known symphonic work but who also wrote some very nice songs; Ernest Chausson (b. 1/20/1855), another Frenchman, who wrote the Poème for the violin and orchestra which entered the repertoire of all virtuoso violinists; Walter Piston (b. 1/20/1894), a prolific and prominent American composer of the 20th century who often used Schoenberg’s 12-note method; Alexander Tcherepnin (b. 1/20/1899), a Russian composer who was born into a prominent musical family (his father, Nikolai Tcherepnin was a noted […]

Josef Hofmann, 2022
This Week in Classical Music: January 17, 2022. Hofmann and Elman. A whole bunch of composers were born this week, but none of them are of the very first rank. Johann Hermann Schein, our recent “discovery,” who was born on January 20th of 1586, but he was outshone by his good friend Heinrich Schütz. Ernest Chausson, born on January 20th of 1855 and mostly known for his Poème for violin and orchestra, may have developed into a more interesting composer had he not died at the age of 44 after hitting a brick wall while riding a bicycle. Muzio Clementi probably isn’t much liked by anybody who has studied piano as a kid for his rather unimaginative, simple Sonatinas that were part of the obligatory school repertory. Clementi, the Italian who spend much of his life in England, had a very interesting life (and also wrote some pretty good music). […]
