The hand: physiologists have supplied names for its many muscles\u2014<\/span>flexor digiti minimi<\/span><\/i>, <\/span>adductor pollicis<\/span><\/i>, and <\/span>lumbricals<\/span><\/i>, among others\u2014and pedagogues have assigned numbers to its digits\u20141, 2, 3, 4, and 5. We use it to make gestures associated with body language and sign language. It\u2019s used in figures of speech and idioms: situations can get out of hand, we can try our hands at a new task, hand over hand-me-downs to a secondhand store, and take matters into our own hands. An eleventh-century monk named Guido used it to teach sight-singing with solf\u00e8ge syllables. Frustrated with a music theorist? Tell her or him to speak to the \u201cGuidonian Hand\u201d!<\/span><\/p>\n

Even though hands are essential to virtually all forms of <\/span>musicking<\/span><\/i> (singers communicate through both voice and gesture), their musical prowess is often instinctively associated with those who play keyboard instruments. The hands of pianists have, in particular, received special scrutiny. Recalling his first encounter with Beethoven, Carl Czerny wrote of the elder composer\u2019s hands \u201covergrown with hair,\u201d and the son of pianist Ignaz Moscheles marveled at Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy\u2019s \u201clong, chord-grasping fingers.\u201d When Chopin died in October 1849, the French painter and sculptor Auguste Cl\u00e9singer made a death mask as well as cast of the composer\u2019s <\/span>hands<\/span><\/a>. But not even death could stem the power of some hands: in the 1946 mystery horror film, <\/span>The Beast with Five Fingers<\/span><\/i><\/a>, a recently deceased pianist\u2019s hand escapes from his mausoleum and terrorizes those who had wronged him!<\/span><\/p>\n

Though it is natural to think of the piano as a two-handed instrument, its vast repertoire includes solo compositions, chamber works, and concertos for a single hand, two players with four hands, and three players with six hands. In case you were wondering, the detached left hand in <\/span>The Beast with Five Fingers<\/span><\/i> was fond of playing Brahms\u2019s <\/span>transcription<\/span><\/a> of J. S. Bach\u2019s chaconne from the second violin partita in D minor, BWV 1004. Some of these pieces\u2014Scriabin\u2019s <\/span>Prelude<\/span><\/i> and <\/span>Nocturne<\/span><\/i>, Op. 9, for left hand\u2014certainly sound as if they are rendered with two hands, that is, until one actually experiences them in live performance such as Yuja Wang\u2019s characteristically exquisite playing of the <\/span>Prelude<\/span><\/i><\/a>. Others are more poignant, such as this <\/span>solo left-hand work<\/span><\/a> composed for Swedish poet Tomas Transtr\u00f6mer after a stroke rendered him unable to use his right hand (Transtr\u00f6mer himself plays while his poem \u201cAllegro\u201d is read by a narrator; this was recorded only a few weeks before his death in March 2015).<\/span><\/p>\n

For musical connoisseurs of the nineteenth century, four-handed playing was especially popular both in real life and throughout literature. In <\/span>Four-Handed Monsters: Four-Hand Piano Playing and Nineteenth-Century Culture<\/span><\/i>, author Adrian Daub describes the literary mechanics thus: \u201ctwo people, two bodies on one piano that they are forced to share\u2014it\u2019s a scene that often presents itself as anything but innocent, half <\/span>pas de deux<\/span><\/i>, half poker game.\u201d Though eighteenth-century composers such as Haydn and Mozart helped popularize domestic four-hand playing, the movement reached its zenith in the nineteenth century before yielding to concert-oriented works for two pianos in the twentieth century such as concertos by Poulenc, Stravinsky, and Vaughan Williams. In the absence of recordings, podcasts, and Spotify, nineteenth-century audiences (and many reviewers, too) became familiar with symphonies, opera overtures, and other pieces through these four-handed transcriptions. According to Daub, Mozart\u2019s symphonies were issued in four-hand versions more than six times between 1852 and 1859. Reger transcribed some of Bach\u2019s organ music for two pianos, Brahms himself transcribed his own symphonic movements, and Dvo\u0159\u00e1k originally wrote his <\/span>Slavonic<\/span><\/i> Dances<\/span><\/i>, Op. 46, for two pianos in 1878. Orchestral and four-hand versions often appeared simultaneously or in close succession, a common nineteenth-century practice.<\/span><\/p>\n

Works for six (and occasionally eight) hands began to appear more frequently in the twentieth century even though Czerny had already laid the groundwork with his Fantaisie, Op. 17, and three more \u201cbrilliant\u201d fantasies in his <\/span>Les trois amateurs<\/span><\/i>, Op. 741. Rachmaninoff penned a <\/span>Waltz<\/span><\/i> and a <\/span>Romance<\/span><\/i>\u2014both in A major\u2014for this trio of thirty fingers, but perhaps the most well-known work in this category is Alfred Schnittke\u2019s <\/span>Homage to Stravinsky, Prokofiev, and Shostakovich<\/span><\/i> of 1979. Here, Schnittke\u2014a musical alchemist fond of polystylism\u2014develops a tripartite formula that fuses Shostakovich\u2019s musical signature (the pitches D, E-flat, C, and B-natural), Prokofiev\u2019s sense of propulsion, and Stravinsky\u2019s penchant for polytonal clusters. According to one reviewer, the result is at once \u201chumorous\u201d and \u201cdiabolical\u201d!<\/span><\/p>\n

The creative juxtaposition of varied performance forces for a single instrument goes, so to speak, hand-in-hand with the creative inclinations and wide-ranging activities of <\/span>Charles Abramovic<\/span><\/a>, who has won critical acclaim for his international performances as a soloist, chamber musician, and collaborator with leading instrumentalists and singers. He has performed a vast repertoire not only on the piano, but also the harpsichord and fortepiano. And actively involved with contemporary music, he has also recorded works of Milton Babbitt, Joseph Schwantner, Gunther Schuller and others for Albany Records, CRI, Bridge, and Naxos.<\/span><\/p>\n

Abramovic has taught at Temple since 1988 and is a fixture of Philadelphia\u2019s musical life, performing with numerous organizations in the city. He is a core member of the <\/span>Dolce Suono Ensemble<\/span><\/a>, and performs often with <\/span>Network for New Music<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Orchestra 2001<\/span><\/a>. In 1997 he received the Career Development Grant from the Philadelphia Musical Fund Society, and in 2003 received the Creative Achievement Award from Temple University. His teachers have included Natalie Phillips, Eleanor Sokoloff, Leon Fleisher, and Harvey Wedeen.<\/span><\/p>\n

The November 15 performance by Abramovic and his students begins at 12:00 PM in the Paley Library lecture hall, 1210 West Berks Street. The program is free and open to the public.<\/span><\/p>\n
