The smuggler (Der Kontrabandiste) is a piece from Robert Schumann’s Spanisches Liederspiel op. 74. The transcription for piano solo was done by Carl Tausig, a Polish composer, pianist and arranger considered by some critics to be the greatest of Liszt’s pupils. Here is the translation of the text that inspired the music: The Smuggler English Translation © Richard Stokes I am the smuggler, And know well how to inspire respect; I know how to defy everyone, And I fear no one.

[…] the cynically mannered Tzimon Barto or the restless vapidity of Khatia Buniatishvili. Imagine Cyprien Katsaris fuelled by extra caffeine, or John Cleese's wild comedic brain welded to Benjamin Grosvenor's staggering, utterly inborn keyboard gifts, and you'll understand what Andrew Tyson is about.You listen to the Scarlatti sonatas not for grace and insouciant style but rather to ponder just what Tyson will do next. Then again, you can sort of predict the dynamic gradations in the Scarlatti/Tausig E major Sonata. Purists may cringe at the Schubert "little" A major's petulant accentuations and thrill-a-minute voicings but Tyson's irreverence seduces you as much as Richter's antipodal austerity. In Albéniz's Iberia Book 1, Tyson exchanges the stylish "duende" of "El puerto" for giddy recklessness. The usually meditative "Evocación" takes unfettered wing, with the kind of rubato you'd associate more with Frank Sinatra than Alicia de Larrocha. Even in the best hands, the extended climaxes […]

Friday, January 8, 2016 Birthdays Hans von Bülow In 1830 Hans von Bülow was born in Dresden. One of the most famous conductors of the 19th century, his activity was critical for establishing the successes of several major composers of the time, especially Richard Wagner and Johannes Brahms. Along with Carl Tausig, Bülow was perhaps the most prominent of the early students of Hungarian virtuoso pianist, conductor and composer Franz Liszt. He became acquainted with and eventually married Liszt’s daughter Cosima, who later left him for Wagner. Noted for his interpretation of the works of Ludwig van Beethoven, he was one of the earliest European musicians to tour the United States. 1 Premieres In 1705 Handel’s first opera Almira was premiered in Hamburg. In 1735 Handel’s Ariodante was premiered in London. In 1963 Dmitri Shostakovich’s opera Katerina Izmaylova – a revision of his 1934 original Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk […]
