I have often had occasion to reflect on the relationships I have formed with
my own students, on the lasting influences both subtle and momentous that
we have had on one another, and on the ways in which the particularity of
the teacher/student relationship in this art form bears fruit in our evolution
as human beings and as musicians.
This selection of composers derives its rationale from my own artistic
heritage and the profound artistic and pedagogical influence Leon Kirchner
had on me when I was an undergraduate at Harvard. Many eminent musicians
of our time have attested to the legendary clarity with which Kirchner
could lay bare the structural underpinnings of a musical work and its consequently
inevitable emotional logic. Kirchner, in turn, was a student of two
of the most influential composers of the twentieth century, Roger Sessions
and Arnold Schoenberg. Both Sessions and Schoenberg were pioneers in
seeking a new compositional language in the post-tonal world while being
deeply rooted in the Germanic tradition. Kirchner’s voice reflects both the
thorny complexity of modernism while palpably reaching for the sensuality
of the musical language of a previous era.
