Bonjour,

Je vous informais de la réalisation de l'opéra d'Hummel (Mathilde de Guise) pour
novembre prochain à St Etienne (France).
Cette information est JUSTE. Elle est très récente et c'est pour cela qu'elle
n'est pas encore publique.
On peut se renseigner sur la tenue de cet opéra auprés de l'accueil de l'Opéra.
Tel-mail : 04 77 47 83 47 / 04 77 47 83 40 /
operatheatre@...
Date : le 26 novembre 2008.

Je vous ferai parvenir d'autres renseignements prochainement.

Merci de votre confiance.

Alain Mathevet.

FAB !

But I have been looking for the opera on the website of the 'Opéra-
Théâtre of St Etienne' and I cannot find any mention of it.

Any ideas ?

Dear Mr. Christians, Thank you very much for the early tip!  That's
wonderful that you are organizing a Hummel/Beethoven festival.  What a
great idea!

I've marked my calendar.

Thank you again.

Best wishes,

Marianne

That's absolutely wonderful!  I heard the overture of Mathilde de
Guise in Jena with the Hummel Society several years back when the CD
came out.  It's such an exciting piece of music and the musicians had
such fun playing it!  I'll definitely try to attend the opera this
winter. I guess it will be the first Hummel Opera performed since the
19th Century!  How exciting!  :)

Thank you for the tip.

Best wishes,

Marianne

Liza -- This is a bit of a delayed response, but I had a look at the
1971 thematic catalogue by Dieter Zimmerschied.  My German isn't
great, but there is no listing for an autograph, so I would assume it
is lost.

The Joel Sachs editions for Garland are probably as close as you will
get to an early edition, short of hunting down actual copies of 19th
c. editions.  I don't know which edition Sachs reproduces, though

The most relevant editions seem to be the first edition, published by
Steiner in Vienna, 1819.  Schlesinger in Paris brought out an edition
in 1825 as part of their "Oeuvres completes" of Hummel, and Haslinger
published an edition in Vienna the year after.

This probably doesn't help much, sorry.


-- Andrew

The Romantics reinterpreted Hummel just as they did
all other composers. Perhaps there are other first
editions, but certainly Sachs' will be one of the
definitetive ones.

I'm afraid I'm ignorant of the Hummel-Beriot connection, but I find it
unlikely that Beriot heard Hummel play all of those works that appear
in his edition.  If Hummel's "Anweisung" is to be taken at face value,
there is simply no way that he used as much pedal as Beriot indicates,
and I do wonder why Beriot, a violinist, was editing piano music.

Oh well...!

Liza, welcome to the group.

Have you checked out RISM? I'll be at a music library next week, and
if you haven't looked at it yet, I can look up Op. 81 and see
what/where the source materials are.

As to the Sachs edition, I presume later editions referred to it, but
I'm not sure. Yes, the Universal is a reprint of the Berio edition,
and I'm almost positive Hummel had nothing to do with the edition.

I myself have an old Kalmus edition that appears to be a reprint of
the old Breitkopf & Hartel, as well as Harold Truscott's edition for
Musica Rara in the mid-70s. The latter has some chromatic alterations
in the slow movement that are not in the B&H, but apart from that,
they are very similar.

Hi!

I'm new to this group, so I'm not sure if a similar question has been
asked already, sorry...

I'm looking for sources to come as close as possible to an authentic
text of Hummel's magnificent piano sonata in F-sharp minor op. 81.

The thematic catalogue doesn't list a manuscript. Is it lost? Any
story behind that?

There is a quasi-facsimile reprint of the first edition done by Joel
Sachs. Is this the only source that later editions referred to? The
Dover, for example, is a reprint of a Charles Berio edition (same as
Universal?), heavily altered with all kinds of written in rubatos,
and many of the free figurations in the second movement are metered.
Did Hummel have anything to do with any of these alterations?

I'd be immensely grateful for any hints!!!

Great to see that such a group exists.

While I was blown away by Stephen Hough's CD of the Op.85 and 89
concerti when it came out long ago, I have only recently moved into
exploring his other works. I am looking for full scores of the Piano
concerti. Ideas welcome!

Dear friends,

Please excuse a bit of self-promotion, but I will be playing the a
minor concerto, Op. 85 of Hummel with the Slovak Sinfonietta, directed
by Martin Majkut, as part of the Bratislava Music Festival.  The
concert is on Tuesday 4 December at 1700 in the Moyzesova Sien.
(Sorry, I have no idea where in the city that is!)

For further information, please visit:

If you manage to get over, please come and say hello after the concert!


Andrew Brownell

Polish pianist, composer and teacher. Born on 4 October 1859 at Lazy, nr Siedlce, the son of Albert Pachulski, a forester on Nadehzda von Meck's estate.

Pachulski studied at the Warsaw Institute of Music, and later (1880-85) at the Moscow Conservatory, where he was taught by Pavel Pabst and Nikolai Rubinstein. His musical development was encouraged by Nadehzda von Meck (whose daughter was married to Henryk's brother, Wladyslaw).

In 1886 Henryk Paculski was appointed as professor of piano at the Moscow Conservatory, and he arranged several of Tchaikovsky's works for piano duet.

Henryk Pachulski died in December 1921 in Moscow, aged 62.
