“Do not mock my Czech brothers! And don't condescend to me either! Your political comments are as entertaining as they are badly informed. Let us hope that nations which possess and represent art will never perish, no matter how small." - Dvorak, to his publisher Fritz Simrock
Antonin Dvorak, wondering if women still find him sexy.
For years, Dvorak's German publisher had listed him as "Anton", claiming that his actual name - "Antonin" - diminished his credibility by revealing his Czech roots. After an extended, often bitter back and forth, a compromise was reached: he would be listed as "Ant. Dvorak."
Like Bach, Dvorak enjoyed good health for most of his 62-year life, a span 22 years longer than was average. The circumstances surrounding his death were prosaic. He caught a viral infection (likely influenza) in late March of 1905 and died 5 weeks later, perhaps of a stroke.
120 years ago today, the Czech composer Antonin Dvorak died in Prague of undetermined causes, age 62. His death was considered an event of immense national importance; thousands would line the streets of the capital to view his coffin as it passed in the funeral cortege.

"A singer who can sing 16 bars in a natural, well-poised and sympathetic voice, without effort, affectation, tricks, exaggeration, hiccupping, barking or baa-ing, is an excessively rare bird." - Hector Berlioz
Robert Schumann, seen here punching himself in the head shortly after realizing that his excessive use of doubling had made the orchestration of his 3rd Symphony downright muddy.
Another example of Beethoven bursting into batshit-crazy passage-work: the so-called "bariolage" (a special effect created by playing in rapid alternation upon open and stopped strings) passage at the end of the first movement of his Op. 74 String Quartet ("Harp"):
Beethoven often applied his legendarily-florid approach to solo piano improvisation to ensemble pieces. Here's an example from his Op. 59, No. 1 String Quartet, in which the transition from the 3rd to 4th movement accomplish via an unexpected extended 1st violin melisma:
122 years ago today, Debussy's symbolist opera "Pelléas and Mélisande" was premiered in Paris. Although the work effectively rejected opera's most popular conventions - it largely lacks arias or set pieces - the scandal it created made its composer an international celebrity.
"There are two golden rules for an orchestra: start together and finish together. The public doesn't give a damn what goes on in between." - Sir Thomas Beecham
This advertisement for the famed Beecham's Pills appeared in the July 20, 1893 edition of the Los Angeles Herald. They contained nothing but Aloe, Ginger, and, uh, Soap.
Dept. of Pet Peeves: Memo #2 Violinists treat their first entrance in Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto as a 100% out-of-tempo indulgence. But he could've discontinued the bar lines if he wanted that. And lingering while outlining one modulatory chord stalls the harmonic momentum.
From the Dept. of Pet Peeves, Inside Baseball Edition: I've never understood why Schubert didn't give the scale passage in the opening of his 5th Symphony to the 2nd Violins. As it is, the 1st Violins have to do a clumsy, asymmetrical minor 7th leap to begin the melody in bar 5.
145 years ago today, the British conductor and impresario Thomas Beecham was born in St. Helens, a suburb of Liverpool. The son of a wealthy pharmaceutical manufacturer, he was the first English conductor to establish an international reputation.
“Those who create music deal with a roar rising from a void, imposing order on it as it hits the air. What is evoked is of another order, more terrible because it has no words, and triumphant, too, for that same reason. And this triumph becomes ours.” - James Baldwin
There have been many ticker-tape parades down Manhattan's "Canyon of Heroes", but only one for a classical musician, a then-unknown young pianist from Texas named Van Cliburn who had - at the height of the Cold War - won the 1958 International Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow.
Christoph Willibald Gluck, once the most important operatic composer of the early Classical period, is now largely overlooked. And yet his belief that text and narrative should determine an opera's content and form essentially made the works of Berlioz and Wagner possible.
Closely following Beethoven's metronome markings has become a sign of musical virtue. But a paper (linked within article) published in The Journal of The American Mathematical Society presents evidence that his metronome was damaged, limiting their value. loom.ly/e3AxBhM

Jamar Chase had complete control of that ball when his feet were in bounds. Only as he left the end zone was the ball jarred slightly loose. But he never dropped it. Sorry, that's a touchdown.
This is moral idiocy, repetition of Kremlin propaganda, a betrayal of Ukrainian courage & sacrifice, and puts a few minutes browsing Crimea on Wikipedia over the current horrific reality of Putin's bloody war.
Ukraine-Russia Peace: - Redo elections of annexed regions under UN supervision. Russia leaves if that is will of the people. - Crimea formally part of Russia, as it has been since 1783 (until Khrushchev’s mistake). - Water supply to Crimea assured. - Ukraine remains neutral.

@tonyprinciotti I remember when as a young student, one of my teachers explained that our notation is imprecise. I looked at her like she'd turned my world upside down. Consider the spoken analog: "What do you want?" "What do YOU want?" "WHAT do you want?" Same words but 3 different meanings.
@tonyprinciotti November 1971. The concert was at Fountain Street Church in Grand Rapids, MI, whose organist was a Durufle student. He was wonderful, gentle and perfectly understandable, though he spoke not a word of English. A translator was available, but we didn't need him. A great memory.
@tonyprinciotti Taking Ginastera's piece to a whole new level was the version created by ELP - even Alberto was floored by it and said it captured his concept more fully and fiercely than his own. youtu.be/zYF2wEhhEEo
