Bartok: Duos for
Two Violins Schumann: Sonata for Violin and Piano, opus 105. 1. Mit Leidenschaftlichen Ausdruck (loosely translatable as "with emotion!") 2. Allegretto (not super-fast, not super-slow) 3. Lebhaft (lively) Christine Wu, violin and Pamela Mia Paul, piano Tchaikovsky: String Quartet Nbr. 1 The Quartet 1. Moderato e semplice (moderate tempo, and simply) 2. Andante Cantabile - (moderate walking tempo, singing) 3. Scherzo. Allegro non tanto e con fuoco (A Scherzo is usually a lively movement, and the actual tempo marking translates to "not too fast, and with fire") 4. Finale: Allegro giusto-Allegro vivace. (The "dash" indicates that there are two tempo indications, the first one being "just the right Allegro tempo" and the second one being "lively (or fast!) Allegro") (We asked pianist Pamela Mia Paul to translate the composers' tempo markings for non-German speaking, non-Italian speaking, non-musicians in the audience.) |

The
Institute for Strings While many young men and women spent the week
home relaxing after the conclusion of a busy
school year, forty young and aspiring string
musicians worked hard soaking up the skills of
exceptional performance from well-known and
respected musicians.The Institute for Strings (TIFS), established in 1996 by Jan Mark Sloman, Principal Associate Concert Master of the Dallas Symphony Orchestra from 1977 – 2010, is a two-week institute, running from June 6 through June 18, that provides young musicians with the opportunity to study under outstanding faculty and receive a level of instruction and experience that is on par with the finest institutions in the country. Sloman describes TIFS as his labor of love and can be seen interacting with students during most moments of each institute day. “We have high expectations of technical excellence,” Sloman said, “we then take that ability and help direct it towards truly collaborative music making.” Each student’s day consists of intense work in master, ensemble, and chamber classes. The different class settings all provide a variety of ways in which students fine-tune their skills. Faculty and students alike said they look forward to the concerts at the end of the institute. The concerts give students the opportunity to publicly demonstrate the successes they have achieved over a rewarding, but exhausting, two weeks. |
