Friday, February 12, 2021 Classical Music in the Films of Ingmar Bergman: a Lecture-Recital Swedish director Ingmar Bergman’s love of classical music deeply informed his life and work. In this lecture-recital, pianist and musicologist Anyssa Neumann explores the appearance, function, and meaning of classical music in Bergman’s films, from his earliest in the 1940s to his last in 2003. Drawing on anecdotes, interviews, film theory, music history, and in-depth scene analyses, she will discuss how Bergman weaves the classical canon into his soundscapes and narratives, incorporates music into the lives of his characters, and finds artistic inspiration in the works and lives of the Western composers. She will then perform a selection of piano music from his films, including pieces by Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, Schubert, Schumann, and Liszt.

Friday, March 19, 2021 In Waltz’s Time The emergence of the waltz as the predominant dance style in 19th century Europe occurred in a context surrounded by controversy. Far from the solemn character of past stylized 3/4 dances like the minuet or the contradance, the waltz shortened distances and allowed dancers to intertwine themselves in ways that scandalized the more conservative minds of the time. Goethe vividly described a dance scene that begun with minuets, but… “When the waltz commenced, and the dancers whirled around each other in the giddy maze… Never did I dance more lightly. I felt myself more than mortal, holding this loveliest of creatures in my arms, flying, with her as rapidly as the wind, till I lost sight of every other object…”. The waltz at its height was synonym of modern times, as well as a symbol of wealth and abundance. Within this context, composers like Chopin or Brahms wrote hundreds of waltzes for piano that became very successful, especially among middle classes. These collections of pieces formed a new genre that, instead of being danced in the ballrooms, were conceived to be listened during recitals.

Friday, May 14, 2021 Webber/Dussek Carl Maria Weber and Jan Ladislav Dussek - The Early Romantics In this lecture-presentation, Dr. Lisa Yui discusses the life and music of Jan Ladislav Dussek (1760-1812) and Carl Maria Weber (1786-1826). Their music, rooted from the Classical structures of Haydn and Mozart, looks ahead to the harmonic language of the early Romantics, foreshadowing the works of Mendelssohn, Schumann, and Chopin. This lecture concludes with a live performance of two astonishingly forward-looking works: Weber’s Sonata No. 1 in C Major Op. 24, with the famous Perpetuum mobile finale, and Dussek’s Sonata in F-sharp minor Op. 61 “Élegie harmonique,” composed in memory of Dussek's patron, Prince Ferdinand of Prussia.
