On Abovian: “As a pedagogue, he was greatly influenced by the doctrines of Rousseau and Pestalozzi and believed that every person, even the lowest, has inherent powers capable of development. These liberal views, together with his persistent efforts to reform the education system, alienated him from the Armenian establishment—the clergy and the wealthy merchants: an alliance that has always been on the side of reaction rather than progress. As a result, he may have committed suicide, or, as a thinker impossible to muzzle, he may have been secretly assassinated by agents of the Czar.”

True, Prokofiev and Shostakovich are known in every civilized country, Khachaturian and Kabalevsky enjoy a certain reputation; but the last three named are sixty years old, or close to it.

Khachaturian is much more interesting when applying his modest gifts to chamber music than in the bombastic socialist realism in scores like Gayne and Spartacus.

Spartacus

stentorian, "rich and juicy ... a monumental score in every way", "cinematic ... it often sounds like movie music. At its best, it's Shostakovich without the genius. But Lord knows it's vigorous."

The three excerpts from Spartacus show a talented composer's response to the requirements of hard-line political esthetics. Socialist-Realism schlock this music most certainly is, but Khachaturian writes inventive schlock - comfortably entertaining yet not without surprises.

WE had the luck to read a bulletin the other day, drawn up by Al Weeks, political analyst in charge of Soviet Affairs for Radio Free Europe. The bulletin is a factual account of Soviet Composer Khachaturian's newest thrust at the iron curtain. Once again the composer has buried his sharps and flats at Soviet music and art for what he says is its search not after beauty and truth but after bureaucratic approval. Comrade K. called the reality in Soviet art "lacquered." He condemned the critics "who held high the shield for many poor, grey and dull compositions." Wonder of wonders, Comrade K. declared. "Healthy realistic tendencies in the works of many famous artists working in the bourgeois countries should not be underestimated." He praised Bach, Mozart, and Berlioz and came out in favor of fantasy. This time Comrade K. may get away with it because his cry is consonant with criticism against the status quo currently a large mode (to use a phrase of Pablo Casals) in the fields of science, agriculture and industry.

Misplaced Pages:Good_articles/Music#Classical_compositions

Aram Khachaturian's Violin Concerto in D minor is a violin concerto in three movements composed in 1940 for David Oistrakh.

It was premiered on November 16, 1940 by Oistrakh.

Composition

Structure

Violin concerto in D minor (1940)

• First movement: Allegro con fermezza (about 14 minutes)
• Second movement: Andante sostenuto (about 12 minutes)
• Third movement: Allegro vivace (about 9 minutes)

A movement in sonata form, the Allegro con fermezza opens with a melody that has been described as "energetic" a "rollicking dance-like theme," and this yields to a "more lyrical" secondary melody.

The Andante sostenuto has been described as "a rhapsodic slow movement that sweeps one into a brooding wintry landscape." Geoffrey Norris wrote, "The ease and spontaneity, pungency and flexibility of Khachaturian's melodic inventions are most clearly laid out in the Andante sostenuto of the central movement, cast in a free-flowing, quasi-improvisatory manner redolent of the art of Armenian folk music." The second movement is a free-flowing rondo.

The concluding Allegro vivace has been called "a whirlwind of motion and virtuosity." In this movement, "the folks element is specially pronounced in the dance-like vigor of the main melody and in the repetitive, insistent, wild virtuosity of the solo instrument."

Reception and legacy

his Violin Concerto, beloved by aficionados of the instrument

Kurt Masur: "Khachaturian's concerto has much folk color... " In that sense, Mr. Masur also likens the work to Dvorak's Violin Concerto. "It has a melancholy, Eastern flavor and ornaments. It has the smell of rose perfume."

New York Philharmonic premiere, more than 60 years after it was first played, in Moscow. Silvia Marcovici is the soloist, and Kurt Masur conducts

The Violin Concerto was written in 1940, for the great Ukrainian violinist David Oistrakh, whom Khachaturian had met five years before. Unlike many works that ultimately found their way into the hearts of music lovers, the concerto was an instant hit; praised from its first, private performances, it became one of the most popular new works played in the Soviet Union.

The work was palpably vibrant. Filled with the Orientalism that composers like Rimsky-Korsakov and Borodin had made characteristic of Russian music 60 years before, the concerto fitted into a longstanding tradition of attractive, accessible fare. That its solo part seemed fiendishly difficult to play only increased its appeal.

The violinist Leonid Kogan, then 16, attended the concerto's premiere, as did luminaries like Shostakovich, Prokofiev, Kabalevsky and Miaskovsky. For us young violinists it was a revelation, Kogan wrote later. I remember that the concerto seemed to us to be extremely difficult, almost impossible to perform. In 1958 he recorded an outstanding version of the concerto for RCA with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, directed by Pierre Monteux.

Ms. Marcovici is not intimidated by the piece. "Nothing is difficult when you like it," she said. Many familiar with the concerto would disagree. Its thorny first-movement cadenza or, more accurately, cadenzas have challenged plenty of virtuoso fiddlers.

Khachaturian's reputation as a composer of serious music has declined at least since his death in 1978. The Violin Concerto may never attain the universal respect heaped on the concertos of Shostakovich and Prokofiev.

The violinist Gil Shaham is certainly ideally suited to convey the energetic optimism of Khachaturian’s difficult, folkloric Violin Concerto, which he performed with the New York Philharmonic, led by the Russian conductor Andrey Boreyko, on Wednesday night at Avery Fisher Hall. He soared through the acrobatic solo part, almost threatening to leave the orchestra behind on a few occasions. Mr. Boreyko led a full-blooded, bristling reading of the rhythmically driven score, highlighting the details of the folk-infused melodies and exotic harmonies derived from Armenian modes and scales.

The Violin Concerto, first performed by the already famous David Oistrakh in 1940, got Khachaturian his first Stalin Prize, then the highest artistic award in the Soviet Union, and it soon joined the Piano Concerto in the international repertory. Is it shameful to be swept away by the perpetual feast and improvisational freedom of his Violin Concerto, to melt into the sensuality and passion of Spartacus or to be moved to tears by the Waltz from Masquerade?

https://www.nytimes.com/1978/05/03/archives/exemplar-of-socialist-realism-appreciation-drew-on-folk-sources.html For a time he was one of the mostplayed Soviet composers in the West. Serge Koussevitzky, the conductor of The Boston Symphony, was interested in the then younger group of Soviet composers, and Khachaturian figured prominently on his programs. Other conductors here and abroad found much to admire; many pianists took the Khachaturian concerto into their repertory; violinists were constantly playing the violin concerto.

It was Taschner who made the work known in Germany. The Archiphon release is the third recording in an epoch-making series: Oistrakh 1944 (who premiered the concerto in 1940), Kaufman 1946 (the first American release) and Taschner 1947 (with the RSO Berlin under Artur Rother) - both the youngest and fieriest of the three recordings. Also appearing on CD for the first time is Sarasate’s "Zigeunerweisen", which Taschner recorded in 1944 with Michael Raucheisen. This recording made its way to Russia as war booty, but was returned in 1991.

It's an immensely attractive work, full of his trademark Armenian folk flourishes, and the swaying, hypnotic Andante is notably beautiful.

https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/961a/a991d8a656d368094d0a08ab783b504241c0.pdf Artists of the first rank, David Oistrakh for the Violin Concerto, and Svyatoslav Knushevitsky for the Cello Concerto, introduced these works as well. The composerʼs collegiality with regard to his chosen soloists is exemplified by Oistrakhʼs comments:

... I came to know him quite well while the Violin Concerto was being written. I remember that summer day in 1940 when he first played the Violin Concerto, which he had just finished. He was so totally immersed in it that he went immediately to the piano. The stirring rhythms, characteristic turns of national folklore, and sweeping melodic themes captivated me at once. He played with tremendous enthusiasm. One could still feel in his playing that artistic fire with which he had created the music. Sincere and original, replete with melodic beauty and folk colors, it seemed to sparkle. All these traits which the public still enjoys in the Concerto made an unforgettable impression at the time. It was clear that a vivid composition had been born, destined to live long on the concert stage. And my violin was to launch it on its career.9

In the year 450 of the Armenians , and 219 of the Romans , in the time of the honored by God  spiritual lord Sarkis Catholicos of the Armenians and the glorious kingship of Kakig  of the Armenians and Shahan Shah  of the Georgians, I Kadratine  queen of the Armenians, daughter of Vasak, king of Syunik, took refuge in the mercy of God and by decree of my husband Kakig Shahan Shah, built this holy cathedral, which was founded by great Smpad, and we erected the house of God, a revived and living spiritual offspring, and a perpetual monument; and I embellished it with precious ornaments, gifts to Christ from me and my family, and sons Smpad, Abas and Ashot; you are commanded by me, Lord Sarkis servant of the church, after the death of this pious queen, to conduct at Vartavar,  Hisnak , forty-one  unceasingly until the coming of Christ; if anybody takes that inscription as unreal, let him be condemned by Christ to six 1433 months with Adam, in the year 1012 of God taking human form ... when believing in Christ of the Armenians this colophon was written by my own hand.

It is understood from this inscription that a wealthy believer named Dikran, seeing in 1213 that the cathedral needed renovations, had repairs done and had this inscription written in order for his memory to be blessed by future generations.

Telfer, J. Buchan (1876). The Crimea and Transcaucasia, being the narrative of a journey in the Kouban, in Gouria, Georgia, Armenia, Ossety, Imeritia, Swannety, and Mingrelia, and in the Tauric Range. Volume I. London: Henry S. King & Co. p. XXX.

J. Buchan Telfer, Captain in the Royal Navy and Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries,

p. 231 Ejmiatsin; "The interior of the church is gloomy, ineffective, and entirely deficient in any fascinating touches of architectural force and decoration; the walls are covered with heavy designs in fresco of purely Oriental taste, representing flowers, birds, and arabesque ornamentations."

p. 232 The present Patriarch, Gevork (George) IV., has of late years added to the cathedral by extending it at the east end behind the altar; the new erection is in exquisitely bad taste, for it is totally at variance architecturally with the church itself, the decorative style of which has been so affected and maintained in the periodical repairs. This new building, entered from the vestry, is to be hence-forth the treasury, to which strangers will not be admitted except by permission of the Patriarch.

p. 235 the monastery of Etchmiadzin, enclosed by high battlemented walls with turrets, and having the appearance of a vast fortress.

The fact that some of Armenia's most revered historical figures—including filmmaker Sergei Parajanov and poets Vahan Tekeyan and Yeghishe Charents—are regarded by many as having been gay would seem to argue in favor of handing the community an olive branch. In the 16th century, the Church had a Catholicos, Grigor Aghtamartsi, who besides being known for his particular devotion to nationalist causes also gave us the only known piece of Armenian medieval homoerotic poetry: "Tagh Siro" ("Love Song").
