About the Work

Back Young Artist Program. Back American Opera Initiative. Program Information Past Commissions Apply. The Concerto enters the repertory of the National Symphony Orchestra in the present concerts. In addition to the solo piano, the score, dedicated to Queen Elisabeth of Romania, calls for 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 2 trumpets, 3 trombones, timpani, cymbals, triangle, and strings. He was one of the last practitioners of that tradition, and he brought it—and his zeal for musical training on the highest level—to our country at a time when it could make a difference, and did.

Relationships

Xaver and his older brother Philipp were both remarkably effective musicians and educators. Neither of them had significant musical training himself until their family settled in Berlin in Both were enrolled that year in the Neue Akademie der Tonkunst, founded and directed by Theodor Kullak, himself an outstanding pianist, who was Xaver's principal teacher.

Philipp did not become a performer, but concentrated on composing and teaching; in addition to his numerous original works, he orchestrated the charming Spanish Dances of his compatriot and colleague Moritz Moszkowski. Xaver, whose music is performed in these concerts, was conspicuously active on many musical fronts: It was at the suggestion of Princess Sophie, later Queen of Albania, who attended the premiere of the Fourth Concerto, that Scharwenka dedicated the work to Queen Elisabeth of Romania, who was herself a serious enough pianist to have studied with Clara Schumann but had become more active as a writer, under the pen name Carmen Sylva; when he subsequently visited Bucharest at her invitation he was the center of attention at the royal court and received the Cross of Commander of the Crown of Romania from the King.

As a composer, Xaver Scharwenka produced far fewer works than his brother Philipp—a single opera, a symphony, some chamber music, many piano pieces, and four dazzling piano concertos—but his compositions became enormously popular. Following his debut at age 19 he joined his brother on the faculty of Kullak's academy.

Waldszenen (Forest Scenes), for piano, Op. 82

Shortly before his 25th birthday he began touring throughout Europe, and then began organizing concerts in Berlin, where in he established his own conservatory. Five years later, by which time he had become a conductor, he began a concert series in which he focused on the recent works of Berlioz and Liszt as well as the Beethoven symphonies. Like so many other young musicians of his time, he received direct encouragement from Liszt early in his career, in appreciation for which he dedicated his First Concerto to him.

In Scharwenka visited America for the first time. He liked what he saw and opened a New York branch of his conservatory. Although he eventually moved back to Berlin in , he continued to make frequent tours of the U. He thereupon created another music school in Berlin, and he continued active in all his musical endeavors for his remaining ten years. During those last years he wrote a remembrance in which he recalled his childhood in a town in what was then part of East Prussia and now is in Poland: There I grew up, the joy of my parents and the dread of the neighborhood.

    The bad thing about it is that the violin part is part of the book so you cannot give it to the violinist to play. You have to either photocopy it or buy two of this.
