Lionel Tertis (1876-1975) stands in the company of YsaYe, Kreisler,
Casals, Thibaud and Rubinstein as one of the greatest
instrumentalists - and arguably the greatest viola player - of all
time. Many composers, including Bax, Holst and Vaughan Williams,
wrote significant works for him; he was a member of a number of
prominent string quartets; and he was later to design and promote
his own 'Tertis model' viola. Tertis is virtually synonymous with
the increasing importance of the viola as a solo and recital
instrument alongside the violin and the cello. This updated
paperback edition tells how he rose from humble beginnings to
become 'the father of the modern viola'. It explores in detail his
long and distinguished career, persuading composers to write works
for the viola, arranging existing works for the instrument, editing
and performing, and teaching and coaching, notably at the Royal
Academy of Music. JOHN WHITE is a prominent viola teacher and
performer. He was a founder member of the Alberni String Quartet
and later played with the London Philharmonic Orchestra and the
Stadler Trio and collaborated with composers Alan Bush, Lennox
Berkeley and Alan Richardson in performances of their works. White
was Professor of Viola at the Royal Academy of Music for over
thirty years and has chaired four international viola congresses in
the UK since 1978. In recognition of his outstanding contributions
to the viola, he was awarded the Silver Alto Clef for 2010 by the
International Viola Society.
Performed on an acoustic steel-string guitar with open tunings and
a finger-picking technique, Hawaiian slack key guitar music emerged
in the mid-nineteenth century. Though performed on a non-Hawaiian
instrument, it is widely considered to be an authentic Hawaiian
tradition grounded in Hawaiian aesthetics and cultural values. In
Listen But Don't Ask Question Kevin Fellezs listens to Kanaka Maoli
(Native Hawaiian) and non-Hawaiian slack key guitarists in Hawai'i,
California, and Japan, attentive to the ways in which notions of
Kanaka Maoli belonging and authenticity are negotiated and
articulated in all three locations. In Hawai'i, slack key guitar
functions as a sign of Kanaka Maoli cultural renewal, resilience,
and resistance in the face of appropriation and occupation, while
in Japan it nurtures a merged Japanese-Hawaiian artistic and
cultural sensibility. For diasporic Hawaiians in California, it
provides a way to claim Hawaiian identity. By demonstrating how
slack key guitar is a site for the articulation of Hawaiian values,
Fellezs illuminates how slack key guitarists are reconfiguring
notions of Hawaiian belonging, aesthetics, and politics throughout
the transPacific.
