Morning Pro Musica; Lola Odiage

It is our pleasure to welcome to MORNING promo's who for the first time Lola will be our guide who we have heard often in fact on Titanic records compact disc even. But this is their first appearance live on promos at the welcome thank you. And then lolo goes UNUSUAL I'm right in the window the other before and even Lola isn't all that common. You're from PEI rule I mean from Lima. They don't know my name. I suppose I should be the Lord is but I was christened you know they might well do they you know my sister that is pleasure of the priest who was performing this ceremony he said that is not a name. My godmother is reported to have said oh well in that case maybe she shouldn't be christened Mary. I'm afraid I don't have a string of names such as some of my Latin American

sisters have to fight a lot of thought I carry with fire. You know it's an item in the news just recently there's a beach in Rhode Island where many of the people who preferred to swim without bathing suits have have gone traditionally year after year. The local people have complained not about the people who are swimming without bathing suits or even about any damage they might cause but they complain of environmental damage because of the people who come and park on their lawn so they can get out their binoculars and go look at the people who are bathing nude. And there's been a battle back and forth about this beach for a long time in the United States Fish and Wildlife Service decided that they would fight fire with fire. They've closed down. Moonstone beach for five months during the spring and summer. It's open to people rest of the time in order to

protect and danger the bird. Moonstone beach will be close from April 1st to August 30 first which is nesting time for the piping plover. That's actually about 550 pairs of piping plovers in the region and 14 of them are known to nest in Rhode Island. But that's fighting fire with fire I guess. I was wondering exactly where if it might have you know been dating a new job and playing a lot of harpsichord or more spit I was going to say harpsichord this is a fortepiano. And Rodney R. Rieger regear regear is the builder. Yes. To my left is he's assistant and my right hand side

when it comes to maintaining this instrument for recordings and for this event to Christopher folks Chris who is going to be turning pages for you. He's going to be turning pages. Welcome Chris. Thank you. Let's have some music and then we'll talk a little bit more. We start off with with Heidi. Will continue with Haydn and up with Haydn. The first of which will be a flat Sonata in they old Hoboken listing which takes like pieces and puts them together into groups and gives them numbers within the group. This is Hoboken group 16 Number Forty six and in the newer Landen catalog which lists things more in a chronological fashion. This is number 31 Sonata written by Haydn around 17 and 67 68 somewhere in there. So not in a flat played by LOLA Oh Diogo. No.

The.

Music of France years if Haydn played live on promo said goodbye Lola ode Jago Sonata in a flat. Landon number 31. Hoboken 16 number 46. Lord Iago has had a career that's filled with concerts and colleges and schools and universities both a student and teacher studied at Julliard the hope surely from Lucy in Yale University or a student of Ralph Kirkpatrick said yeah it is right.

You and I communicate it. Many years ago in connection with his passing. Yeah. May I offer a belated thanks. My pleasure. Was he as much a curmudgeon. And when when you were studying with him as it was it wasn't something that was a characteristic of his through his life. Well one feared him but some of his students really did not love him too much. Some had the proper mixture of love re sentiment and I think that I fell for the man from the very beginning and I think that he was also

very fond of me. I know that he was very fond of me. We were born on June. I believe that he was the 10th of June. I mean if you 15th of June. One day when he realized how close our birth is where he said to me no wonder you were just as much a maniac depressive as I am. It was characteristic of Gemini I guess. You must have been in Germany long enough to absorb some of the fondness for there. So do you know it was long before I got to Germany that sort of fun is for a lot of things when I was in Germany. You were also a student of the story. Yes yes he was a marvelous musician. As a matter of fact I was just remembering him before you came in. He taught

so many things that one of the things he said was when you practice practice the smallest pattern and keep adding notes to it. When you stop don't stop altogether but stop silently on the next note of the next pattern. Well that is actually that is actually not saying enough about him by any means. It's just one glimpse. But as you know as a student of Schoenberg he was responsible for whether he wanted it or not. Putting his orchestra music into piano productions he was told by Schomberg to do so and weather storm and was busy trying to find a job in the United States that was not really important tricks it was an order and had to be done. But for

example the score of the Violin Concerto piano wrecked orchestra objection to piano was that I assure him I was a very different teacher then than Patrick. Oh yes oh yes absolutely. He was I think probably more oriented towards the 19th century. As a performer of piano music however he had marvelous ideas. I do remember that when I was studying with him I was already playing a lot of back on the piano and one day an corrector mystically strongmen said something about style and I thought this is my chance to find out exactly what that style is. I said Mr Straw Man what is it. What fight is pastime. And he thought for a moment then he chuckled and he turned away and he said back style. When I like it. But of course I got that marvelous intuition but you know when he was teaching things like

it should be my nurse and that that he came to his second subject of the exposition. He would say this reminds me of such and such a moment in that mater Symphony for example and he would sit down at the piano and played. He had a fabulous memory I think that I was very fortunate to study with one of those great figures that have feet well sank into tradition and I suspect that there are probably a lot of people who are saying that they were very fortunate to study it. Because you certainly done enough teaching. I have done a lot of teaching and I have to say that some of my best friends are former students of mine. It's been rough prepared. It would have had trouble. Thank you often. Not now is a great guy. Oh yeah he was a curmudgeon. He really was. OK let's go on to another piece of music. Not surprisingly another

sonata of Haydn Lord Jago Our guest is doing a whole series of recordings of Haydn solo keyboard music for Titanic records there are two discs already and another in process. This sonata that we're hearing is in E-flat Hoboken 16 number 52 London number is sixty two written by Haydn in 1794 little of them. In.

In. Oh.

From.

The. Misty E-flat sonata of crowns Yossef Haydn London number 16 to Hoboken 16 number 52 lolo the AGA performing live on promos again. You have a whole series of concerts coming up with the Cambridge Society for the music and the friends but that's going to be in November. Cambridge Society for Music because a series a candlelight concert series and a number of cities around the greater Boston area. Carlisle and Cambridge and the good Institute and various other places around the

world. Performing then are you teaching No. I am not teaching in any school. I do some teaching privately. The last teaching post I had was that you. We have one more piece and we have time for one. Yes so six variations in C major. This is just a separate little piece of Haydn with his own original theme where yes that's on an original theme but the way I came back to this piece was after an number of years I was playing through the pieces in various volumes and I came across this which I had played as a child. It is called

Six ready at CNN and at first I thought yes of course they're very easy. But the more I play them the less I think that they're ready at CNN. They sound to me a little bit as if they had been conceived with one of those mechanical instruments in mind because they have this kind of cool character that Sam Clark with Clark. That's that's one of the instruments that was used in these pieces by Haydn and Mozart. Anyway let them speak for themselves. There are a number of great great instruments still extant in Germany some of which

they they have displays in cities with some of the music going and the instrument plays it I mean nobody has to sit down and play it on the instrument they've all programmed it in kind of like a piano roll but not exactly. Yeah I think that's fascinating. Some of them are incredibly complicated and some very beautiful pieces have been written for them. Yes. You know especially by Mozart and yet really sublime success variations in C Major by Hyginus or Hoboken 17 number five written around 1790 Lola performing live on promote Zika. There's a set of six variations in C Major
