About our Guest: Brett DeubnerAmerican violist Brett Deubner has established himself as one of the foremost violists of his generation. As a sought after soloist who has performed with orchestras on five continents, Deubner has redefined the role of “solo artist” and given the viola a new standing in the world of classical music through his virtuosity, commitment to championing new music and dedication to fostering the next generation’s young artists.
As a concerto soloist, Deubner’s debut with the Grammy award-winning New Jersey Symphony Orchestra premiering Lalo Schifrin’s Triple Concerto resulted in numerous subsequent engagements throughout the U.S. and abroad. Deubner went on to perform worldwide as one of this century’s most important viola soloists appearing with more than 80 orchestras in 11 countries to unanimous approval for “the warmth and sparkling” quality of his playing. (Doblinger Press, Vienna) To date Deubner has received over 50 viola concertos composed and dedicated to him and he has made 20 CDs on various labels such as Naxos, Centaur, Innova and Albany to critical acclaim and glowing reviews.
In 2017 Deubner received the United States Congressional Certificate of Recognition for his commitment to music and education. In 2019 Deubner received a Latin Grammy nomination for “Best Classical CD Recording” for his recording of Houston Dunleavy’s Concerto “A Kiss Before the World’s End” with the Orquesta de Heredia of Costa Rica. He is a recipient of the 2022 Global Music Awards Silver Medal for his recording “Transfiguration” an album of works by Stanley Grill for two, three and four violas of which he recorded all the parts.

In today's episode, we take a look at one of the most important topics for any musician... playing in tune.
But what does it mean to be in tune?
To answer today's question, we first need to understand notes, notation, and key signatures and where these concepts come from.
We then break down the concept of Perfect Pitch and share stories of how you can develop a musical ear no matter if you play an instrument or not.
Finally, we break down various aspects of intonation, tunings, and how you can teach yourself to play in tune if you are an aspiring musician.

Have you ever listened to a piece of music, closed your eyes, and imagined yourself in another place, in another time, or as another being?
It can easily be said that music has an acute ability to literally lift you from your shoes and transform you into anyplace you want to be. But… was that always the case?
In the early part of the Classical Era, composer Franz Joseph Hyden created a way to merge the characters and events of what was then known as Comic Opera and through no words at all, build the foundations of what would become Sonata Allegro form and in doing so, completely change the world of classical music by influencing practically every composer who came after him.
In this episode of The Art of Listening, Jeff Bradbury and Gabriel Gordon discuss the history of Sonata Form and share examples of how an idea that started on the stages of opera morphed over 100 years through the introduction of the Tone Poem into what we hear today on movie screens and our favorite video streaming services.

In today's episode, we take a look at three of the most famous symphonies in all of music; Mozart 40, Beethoven 5, and Dvorak 9 "From the New World"
All three of these masterpieces have one thing in common ... they moved the symphonic genre forward in a way that no other symphony before it ever did.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart wrote his 40th Symphony in g minor in the same summer that he composed both his 39th and 41st symphonies. The instrumentation isn't much different from previous pieces. The minor key signature isn't what gives this piece its long-lasting attraction. What is it?
In contrast, the powerful 5th Symphony from Ludwig Van Beethoven, probably one of the most popular symphonies of all time has been a constant crowd-pleaser since its debut in 1808.
To put a coda to this podcast, we take a look at the soulful and very American "New World Symphony" from Antoni Dvorak.
