...here merely as an impressive version of Sergei Taneyev; the former was the transcription used by Russian transliteraters at the turn of the century. Semantics aside, though, Tanajeff has not achieved the mastery of composition that his fellow Russians, like Tchaikovsky and Prokofiev, attained. Tanejeff (1856-1915) wrote a trio for violin, cello and piano that makes one wonder how he was able to take Tchaikovsky's old position as professor of instrumentation at the Moscow Conservatory when the old genius died. Certainly, the trio is no outstanding work. Any recording of his string quartets would make for better listening...
...comparison of the trio--which, unfortunately for Lenin, was published in 1908--with the Tchaikovsky piano concertos and piano trio will reveal striking similarities in form and style...
...Arte recording heralds good news: a highly original trio by Alexander Tcherepnin (1899-1977), also born in Russia and father of an associate professor of music and director of the electronic music program at Harvard. The piece lasts a mere five minutes but has enough zest to make up for the Tanayev (which isn't all that bad). In fact, Alexander Tcherepnin's father, Nikolai Tcherepnin, taught Prokofiev, although the trio was composed before Alexander had written his most mature works, stemming from his interest in the music of Japan and Shanghai in the 1930s...
...trio was based on a nine-note scale called--yes, the "Tcherepnin scale." This makes the music unique and exotic, but provides a basis for comprehension simpler in nature than, say, Ivan Tcherepnin's work. Ivan, whose Le Va et le Vient was premiered successfully two years ago by the Harvard-Radcliffe Orchestra, composes in a more abstract, atonal style, which may have been developed while he studied with Kirchner...
...squash program here until three years ago...Last year's Choate-Rosemary Hall squash team staged a mini-reunion in Providence yesterday. Former teammates Staley, Meagher, and Mary Winnick all played in the Harvard-Brown match, with Winnick triumphing for the Crimson J.V.'s at number two. The trio filled out the numbers one, two, and three slots respectively, for Choate last year...
