Competition not only opensdoorsfor tltese talented young ?r*rmers,

but also brings suberior music and musiciansto ,t

audiencesworldwide.

We can thank Van Cliburn and his victory in 1958 at the first Tchaikovsky International Piano Competition in Moscow for breaking down political barriers and granting new status to American musicians.

Understanding this, the National Guild of Piano Teachers,led by the late Dr. Irl Allison, provided a $10,000 grand prize for the first Competition, launching what is now recognizedas one of the preeminent competitionsin the world.

In additionto significantcashprizes, the Competition guidesthe budding careersof medalists,providing iwo yearsof concert tours and free management. Agreements with major orchestras and presenters in the United Statesand abroadgive these performers broad exposure and enhancethe Competition's influence in the musicwodd. Many participants of past Competitions are represented by major artist managersand arepursuing successfulcareersas concert artists.

The late Grace Ward Lankford, a renowned piano teacher and cofounder of the Fort Worth Piano TeachersForum, establishedthe Van Cliburn Foundation,Inc., a chartered non-profit organization, to sponsor the Competition. With her encouragement,the Fort Worth Chamberof Commerce, Texas Christian Universiry the National Guild of Piano Teachers,the Junior Leagueof Fort Worth. and the Fort Worth Piano Teachers Forum backed the Competition and continue to do so today.

The Foundation also sponsors Cliburn Concerts. a noted chamber music and recital series;educational projects including Adopt-a-School, Imagination Celebration and the Neighborhood Arts Programl and other audience development programs.The International Association of the Van Cliburn Foundation, an umbrella organization for annual donors that offers varying levels of membership, supports Cliburn

Concerts and the Competition, and offers members an opportunity to become more involved in Cliburn Foundation programs.

The Foundation works to ensure that the Competition and its competitors are recognized widely. Award-winning television documentaries about the Competition, produced by the Foundation with the support of Mobil and Tandy Corporations, have aired on public television and have been syndicated on five continents.

Major radio networks have produced national and international series on the Competition. Winners' performances are recorded and distributed by major record labels, including Teldec, BMG, Philips, and harmonia mundi, u.s.a.

It ttsasa bombsbellof an idea, and it struck Irl Allison s?ur of the rnoment tltat Sunday evening of November 30, 1958. Grace Ward Lankford, cofounderof tlte Fort Worth Piano Teachers Forum, tnashosting a dinnerfor 500 honoring ber long-time friend Rildia Bee O'Bryan Cliburn at Ridglea Country Club in Fort Worth. Dr, Allison, founder of the National Guild of Piano Teachers,of zuhich Mrs. Cliburn and Mrs. Lankford userecharter members.utasin attendance.

Just as dessert was served, Dr. Allison passed a note to Mrs. Lankford.

"Hold onto your seat,"it said. "I have a startling announcement!" Then he rose and addressedan audience that included many notables in music.

ing against a goal rather than against another person.Dr. Allison also was a gifted pianist who studied with Harold von Mickwitz.

Percv Grainger, Ernest Hutcheson, and Walter Gilewicz. Today he is remembered as a southern gentleman with a warm, outgoing personaliry and an idealist with great imagination and drive.

"Well, hang onto your hats. I have a challenge and a surprise for you," he said. The National Guild of Piano Teachers would offer an unprecedented grand prize of$10,000 for an international piano competition held every four years to be named, as he so charmingly put it, "in honor of Rildia Bee's little boy, Van," just back from winning the first Tchaikovsky International Piano Comoetition in Moscow. So surprised was Rildia Bee's 24-year-old, 6-foot-4-inch "little boy''that he reportedly dropped his last bite of dessert. And with Dr. Allison's impetuous remark, the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition was born.

Dr. Allison was married to the former JessieJohnson, who became a tireless activist on behalf of the Guild. While Dr. Allison traveled the United States developing Guild membership, his wife directed the office from the couple's New York home. Dr. Allison was ktro*., throughout his career as an eminent educator, a prolific writer, and a proponent of the music he loved. Until their deaths,he and Mrs. Allison served on the Executive Committee of the Van Cliburn Foundation.

Actually, Dr. Allison was known for his unusual approach to life. He grew up in the sawmill towns of eastTexas's Piney Woods yet was an artistic child, studying piano from age 8. He garnered degrees in mathematics and literature before earning a doctorate in music. He dreamed of filling stadiums with pianists competing for a grand prize but emphasized compet-

By establishingthe National Guild of Piano Teachers, Dr. Allison forged a new alliance of music teachers designedto upgrade teaching and performance standards through nationwide auditions. His work prompted one of his celebratedteachers,Dr. von Mickwitz, to write tc him in 7937: "Irl, you have all qualities necessary for an exceptional pianist and artist:

highly gifted musically, a brilliant mind, enthusiasm for serious work.

Yet there is that consolation that your present work may be of more benefit to the music profession than that which a concert artist achieves."

The truth in Dr. von Mickwitz's words shines today as Dr. Allison's guild establishes a standardized curriculum arranged by age levels and using the finest literature for piano, as well as presenting a general teaching plan and correlating the work of private teacherswith that of conservatories and universities.

On that November day that Dr. Allison so impulsively offered a $10,000 piano competition prize, he in fact did not have that $10,000, nor did he know where he would get it, sayshis son, Irl Allison Jr. In the end, Dr. Allison borrowed the monev. using a piece of his own prop.tty "t collateral. Today, serious piano srudents the wodd over continue to benefit from Dr. Allison's ideas through the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition.

"Why J not

Fort Wort/t?"

Grace Ward Lankford ltad just heard Irl Allison's extraordinary anno'uncementof a new international piano competition at rahich the National Guild of Piano Teaclterszpouldffir a grand prize. "Why not Fort Worth?"slteasked

Dr. Allison, suggestingtlte city as the ideal locationfor suclta competition.

Actually, Mrs. Lankford already had begun making plans for a piano competition on the order of the Leventritt Award that would be sponsored by the Fort Worth Piano Teachers Forum. Now she suggested to Dr. Allison that the two merge. He agreed,but with one condition: Mrs. Lankford had to find widespread community support for the project. It was a formidable task, but with a determination as strong as her belief in the new competition, she pulled together business owners, Texas Christian University officials, civic leaders, politicians, conductors, composers,instrumentalists, music teachers, a gourmet chef, her own family members, and even Fort Worth's society matrons and debutantesin pursuit of her goal.

Former U.S. Congressman Jim Wright brought valuable contact with foreign officials and VIPs. Isaac Stern gave his advice. Mrs. Lankford's daughter, Catherine Russell, who had a husband, three children, and a job, used spare moments to type letters.

Lorin Boswell volunteered a vacant room at his dairy as a makeshift office, and Martha Hyder brought in debutantesto type mailing labels and stamp envelopes. Gourmet cooking school teacher Florence Simon marshaled 24 excellent cooks to orovide delicaciesfrom their own kitchens as ,ql

refreshments.And through it all, Mrs. Lankford kept up her schedule teaching Fort Worth's children how to play the piano, adding early morning and late evening lessonsas necessary.

In 1.962,with Mrs. LanKord personally attending to even the most minute detail, the first Van Cliburn International Piano Competition took place. How did she do it? "Well, she was pushy, but in a nice way," saysone man, whose children she taught. Adds a friend, "...she had a way about her that if she asked you to do something, you wanted to do it." That determination and charm, combined with her dedication to the Competition and deep love of the piano and music, made her a formidable force.

Mrs. Lankford, a Fort Worth native, gave her first piano recital at age four, and at age 14 receiveda scholarshipto study piano with the French pianist Yves Nat at Texas Women's College (today Texas Wesleyan College). She also studied with Carl Beutel while attending Nebraska Wesleyan College in Lincoln, where she earned a degree in music. When she returned to Fort Worth, Mrs. Lankford taught music at North Texas Agriculrural College (today the University of Texas at Arlington) and later at North Texas State University (today the University of North Texas) in Denton.

Bv 1950. Mrs. Lankford and her friend, Mrs. Marian Douglas Martin, were giving duo-piano performances as well as envisioning a local group specifically for piano teachers. Mrs. Lankford was named president of their brainchild, the Fort Worth Piano Teachers Forum, which featured a select membership working to upgrade local standards, provide speakers, and sponsor workshops of specific interest to the group.

Mrs. Lankford was a highly respected piano teacher and the recipient of many honors. Texas Christian University awarded her the degree of Doctor of Humane Letters. She was one of only two official American guests at the second Tchaikovsky International Competition in Moscow and later was invited to the White House by President and Mrs. Lyndon B. Johnson when they honored American winners in the Competition.

Internationally, she was honored by the Pan American Union for her contributions to music in the Western Hemisphere, and she served as djuror for the Qreen Elisabeth of Belgium Competition and the Rio de Janiero International Piano Competition. Mrs. Lankford was posthumously honored when Qreen Elisabeth of Belgium granted her the title of Knight of the Order of the Crown for her service to Belgian artists and fine arts.

-T. I he art of music,with its accentupon humanity and its attraction for the the universalaspectof man to his deeperemotionsof the human soul,symbolizes shrinking world.

In principal cities throughout the world, the questfor young and inspired talent continues,as it has for thousandsofyears. From the earliestaccountofrecorded history, we read about the competitive eventsthat have brought laurels to contestantsfrom every avenueofmant everexpandinghorizon.

As we reach the Tenth Van Cliburn Competition, we reflect gratefully that the Competition conceived by Dr. Irl Allison, Founder and then President of the National Guild of Piano Gachers. has taken its place as an important international musical event. Dr. Allisons hopes and dreams were aug-enied by the devotion of the late Mrs. Grace Ward Lankford. cofounder of the Fort Worth Piano TeachersForum.

We know that the importance of any competition is largely the result of the prestige of the jury and the high quality of the competitors.In both theseareas,we havebeen extremelyfortunate.Juries for the Van Cliburn Competition have consistentlybeen outstanding,and we havehad many gifted young people from numerouscountries.

The Board of Directors of the Van Cliburn Foundation,Inc. joins me in expressing great appreciation to the many loyal followers, donors, and patrons of the Competition. This support, which is international in scope,emphasizesthe great importance of music as a universallanguage.

We eagerlylook forward to offering the hospitality of the city of Fort Worth, the beautiful stateofTexas, and the United Statesof America to the many visitors who will participatein the activitiesof the Van Cliburn Competition. Our warmest welcome is extended to the young artists whose participation and presencein the Comoetitioncontinuesto be an inspirationto us all.

is a long-awaited pleasureto welcomeyou to the Tenth Competitioncompetitors and jurors, distinguished participants and guests,and eageraudiences.

Your talents and gifts are acknowledged with joyful gratitude.

The community of Fort Worth preparesfor this festivalwith enthusiasmand generous spirit. Hundreds contribute time, energy, and resourcesto support the Van Cliburn Foundation, which is primarily privately funded. The value of these efforts can never be overstated,and appreciationfor everyvolunteer, organizafion,sponsor, and patron remainsconstant.

The Foundation rememberswith gratefirl hearts family and friends who have provided an esteemedlegacy of commitment and passionfor music.This Competition is dedicatedto them, in honor of their examplesof striving for excellenceand astribute to their continued inspiration.

Expressionsofjoy, sorrow,pain, and ecstasyare understoodby every man, regardless of geographyand time. Music is the voice of man, giving sound to those emotions, sometimesrecalling primal rhythmic beat, and leaving echoesof meaning.

The Competition provides center stagefor the young musician at the piano to present an interpretation of a composer'sliterature.Music from the handsof an artist will be a paradigm of color, structure, and harmony, and will give knowledge depth of understanding.

Each of the thirty-five competitors holds individual hopes for successand achievement. Only one can be first, but eachof you has everybest wish for reward and personal enrichment from the experienceof the Tenth Comoetition.

Dear Contestants: I don't want to be boring, becauseI am sure at this particular moment each one of you is quite busy in thinking of other things much more important than my words.There's no point in my telling you that Fort Worth is one of the most hospitable cities in the United Stateslhere you can be at home.

I dont want to give you any rhetorical adviceon specialsecretsand specialways in which you have to behave.Everything dependson what you wish from your life.

Saint Paul in his first letter to the Corinthians (tr2:4)says:"...to eachone is given a particular manifestation of the Spirit for the common advantage."So if each one of you is sure to dedicateyour own particular talent to the music, each one of you must do this with all your own strength and, most important, asVladimir Horowitz said, "with a free and giving heart."

The only thought I could give you is honest and true: do not be afraid;be yourselves.

Always.

The Celebrationof Heroes, Pratige as a Social Conn'ol Slstem

by William J. Goode University of California Press

Musicians should not have to comDete.

There should be enough opportu;ities for all of them to earn a livine. There should be enough jobs available in all fields of endeavor to give work to the world's one billion unemployed. Supply, however,exceedsdemand and so difficult choiceshaveto be made.

Every year thousandsof pianistsemerge from conservatoriesand music schools around the world and enter a diminishing concert market which can at best accepta very small number of new musicians to fill the few availabledates.The winnowing process must be rapid and dramatic to allow for careerredirecting, to mercifully steer those seemingly less likely to enjoy a solo concert career towards the possibility of pursuing a viable alternative.Well-trained musicians are sorelyneededthroughout the field of

It cannot be overemphasizedthat it is no longer sufficient for a pianist aspiring to a solo career to simply play beautifully.

The interpretations must be ravishing and extraordinary to captivate an audience oversaturatedby recordings,radio, and television.The purity of the musicmaking and the power to convincemust be so genuine as to seduceand enthrall thousandsofpeople at once.In short, the realm of successfulconcert oianists able to sustainthemselves by meansof a solo career is being restricted to ever fewer and evermore exceptionalmusicians.

Artistic creativity has alwaysbeen forced to cope with myriad realities (from the cost of blue pigment to the often unreasonablewhims of a patron),competition not being the leastof them. "The painful paradox inherent in any competition," wrote Robert Mann (President of the Naumburg Competition), "is that true artistic accomplishment must struggle with and transcendthe pragmaticnecessity of competition." Raphael competed in art shows.Leonardo da Vinci competed to securea oosition with the Sforzasof Milan, writing a grovelingletter enumerating his skills in devising machines of war, sewage systems, etc., concluding with "I can also paint, somewhat."The city fathers of 15th century Florence neededto commissiondoorsfor the baotisteryofthe cathedral.Brunelleschiand Ghiberti, two giants of their age, competedby submittingmodelsof a few panels for the doors.One got the commission. The other built the cathedral.In the 1960s the Kennedy family invited the world's most famous architects to their home to propose,in front of each other, a monument to John F. Kennedy.

I. M. Pei won over the likes of Louis Kahn and Mies van der Rohe. History abounds with countless such leqendary comoetitions.

Co n n p ET r r r o N S

In music, beginning centuries ago, the searchfor patronage,as Bach, Mozart, or Wagner knew all too well, was a highly competitive business.Every facet of musical life was and still is fraught with competitive challenge-the composer's attempt to find a willing publisher and someoneto perform his music;the performer's attempt to get acceptedby an acclaimedteacheror by a music school, and to be to get into the desiredclasses, selectedto oerform the concertowith the schoolorchestra.Later,just asin theater, there are open calls,readings,tryouts, or auditionsfor orchestraopeningsand for chair positionswithin the orchestra.If one is a soloist, competing with thousandsofcolleaguesfor concerts,management, or recordings becomes a way of life. As charmingly stated by Emanuel Ax, 'A competition is the worst way of finding talent-except for all the others."

II Everyonefrom journalists to membersof the music industry has called into question the value of competitions. A thorough review of accurate information found in publications such as those by Drs. Gustav Alink, which trace the history of piano competitions over the past 100 years,tends to lead to one conciusion. Drs. Alink's work, painstakingly compiled in three volumes, documents every pianist who entered every major competitionsince 1890 and what phase and or prize he or she attained.The selfproclaimed Jeremiahswho lament that no major pianist haseveremergedfrom a competition, that only the "middle-ofthe-roaders" surface,that true talent is too idiosyncratic to be recognized by a diversejury, would only haveto glanceat these lists to have those views dispelled.

They would recognize immediately that virtually every major pianist of the 20th centurywasa finalistin one major competi ti on or another: A r ger ich, Arrau, Ashkenazy, Ax, Bachauer, Backhaus,Barenboim, Bolet, Brendel, Browning, Cliburn, Cortot, Davidovich, Dichter, Entremont, Fischer, Fleisher, Frager, Gavrilov, Gilels, Goode,

Graffman, Gutti6rez, Istomin, Kapell, Lhevinne, Lipatti, Lowenthal, Lupu, Malcuzynski, Michelangeli, Nakamura, Novaes, Ohlsson, Ousset, Perahia, Pogorelich, Pollini, Rubinstein, Schiff Simon, Tomsic, Uchida, Vasary, Weissenberg, and Zimerman, Rare indeed is the important pianist who was not recognized in a competition.

Although many important pianists may have been loath to enter comDetitions for fear that their talents would not be recognizedor becausethe probability of not winning was high, they have been aware that the cost of not competing would also be high. The following is a list of major pianists who have never participated in a competition: Cherkassky, de Larrocha, Firkudnj', Frank, Godowsky,Gottschalk,Gould, Haskill, Hess,Hofmann, Horowitz, Horszowski, Katchen, Kissin, Long, Richter, Schnabel,Serkin, Solomon,Tirreck,and Watts. It is interestingto note that they have one thing in common: all were prodigieswho made their public debuts at a very young age and were recognized by a wide musical circle, eliminating the need for being noticed in a competition.

When supply exceeds demand, one searchesfor criteria to facilitate a choice.

Faced with a plethora of {ilms, people often resort to orofessionalfilm critics' reviews to help them decide which movies to attend. When purchasing a new automobile, the layman might consult a consumer'sguide to learn of a car's attributes or defectsof which otherwise he might never have been aware. In music, howevet some beteve that comparable arbiters of taste or experts are unnecessary.

They suggestthat the experience of music is so direct that exDertise is irrelevant.Although it is true th"t ^ natural musical instinct often overrides musicalilliteracy,many listenersstill tend to applaud the loud, the fast, and the mindlessly visceral. For them, it is not wrong to want to turn to the expertsfor guidance.When the jury awardsa prrze to one player,the layman may be led to learn that the winner'sway of performing

Good musiciansin a jury do listen difTerently and are more qualified arbiters of Competitions do not pretend to unearth musical matters.

A significantfunction of a competition and its jury is to perform a service for orchestra managers and recital presenters.Sincethey areunableto audition the hundredsofnew talentswho appeareach year,presentersand managersentrust the screeningfunction to a group of respected peerswhose pronouncementsserveas an endorsementfor considerationby the presenter-little different than a music director sending his trusted musical assistantto an audition. Ideally, all presentersand managersshould regard the assemblage of talentat a competitionasa showcasefrom which they may choose whomever they wish. There are, of course,numerous other benefits of wellrun competitions. Among them are the imperus they give musiciansto master new repertoire,the incentive they give to play at a peak level of performance,the exposurethey give young artists to one another, their showcasingof new talent to the media, and their display of a new generationof musiciansto a receptive and encouragingaudience.

The conceptof "better" losesall meaning once the objective criteria have been satisfied.In the realm of artistic giants it is absurd to regard one as "better" than another: Raphael or Rembrandt, Beethoven or Brahms, Dante or Shakespeare, Rubinstein or Horowitz. In examiningthe list of competition winners one notices that occasionallytalents p a rti ci pati ngi n competi ti onsare so extraordinarythat they bubble straight to the surface: Cliburn, Pollini, Argerich, Ashkenazy, Gilels, Michelangeli.

January11-Februarl 22, 1997

The commentby Brahmsabout writing a symphony could well apply to organizing worldwide screening auditions, "That is no jokel" The auditionsamount in essenceto scheduling150 concertsin six different theaterson fwo continents.

Pianistshave to be brousht to the concert hallsand their transoortation often paid. Pianos, tuners, and technicians have to be arrangedfor. Marketing has to be carefully developedwith local presenters in order to attract audiences.

Screeningjurors have to be transported and housed.

Then came the unforeseen hurdles which life likes to set uo in the oaths of "best laid plans."A Saua;Arabian airliner slipping on ice at New York's Kennedy Airport delayedthe departure of key staff members and American jurors, destroyinga carefullycoordinated Amsterdam Airoort rendezvous basedon synchronizedarrivalsof multiple international flights. A few days later, it took incredible luck for the jurors to slip through a blockadeoftractors that had encircled the Milan airport, set up when Italian dairy farmers took strong exception to the Common Market milk quota. However, the efforts of many who were behind the scenes won an appropriateaward:every member of the screening ju.y, John Giordano, Jerome Lowenthal, C6cile Ousset. Ian Hobson. and Dean Elder listenedto everyone of the 146 forryminute recitalsthat actuallvtook olace.

(Eight applicantscould noi be scriened due to illness,injury, or schedulingconflicts).

It cannot be overemohasized that none of these auditions could have taken place, or at least not at an affordable cost,without the help of our colleagues who presentother internationalcompetitions or concerts.The auditionsbesan at the beautifullydesigned,ultra modern \&edenburgCenter in Utrecht,the Netherlands,where the Liszt Compe-

tition also takes place. Peter Smids, director of the theater, along with his marvelous staff members Marjon Koenekoop and Mas Fopma, set new standardsof professionalism.A large technical support staff and nine-foot Steinwayconcertgrandsin the practice rooms madethe Utrecht exoeriencefirst classall the way.Here, extia marketing efforts brought in large audiences, whose members became so invoived that they occasionallygave standing ovations to some of the aoolicants.

Perhaps especiallyindicative of the quality of theseauditionswas the comment made by many of the young performers as they came off the stage: "That was fun."

Maestro Marcello Abbado, the Director of the Verdi Conservatory,set up the Milan auditions, and Laura Colombo, our colleaguewho runs the Dino Ciani Competition in Milan, managedevery aspect of them. Jurors received more than merelymusicaldelights.Our longtime friend and supporter, Countess Florence Marzotto, assumed full responsibility for the reputation of grand Italian hospitality and left our jurors wanting for nothing in the culinary or cultural departments. Many employees of the large Conservatory staff contributedto makins the concerts possible, but nonelnor. ,o1h^n Filippo, the doorman,whosemagic keysopened d o ors to practi ce rooms contai ni ng pianos. the existence of which were ieemingly unknown to anyonebut him.

Moscow is struggling painfully with its new-born democracyand few areasof enterprise are suffering as much as the arts. The month we were there, the Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory receivedonly 30%oof its usual monthly allocation from the government, and most of its staff had to take home seriously reduced paychecks.The recital hall of the beautiful Conservatory is crumbling,and the food concessionis as dangerous to patronize as it was to attend a banquet offered by Ltcrezia Borgia. But although many are fleeing

to the West in searchof better conditions, a constantsupplyof fresh Russian talent is replenishingthe ranks.The faculty and administrators retain their pride and dignity, and despitethe continuing challengesof Byzantinebureaucracies,the good will of a few strong individuals overrides most difficulties.

Vladimir Sukhanov,the Pro Rector of the Conservatory (who had accompanied the Russiansto the Van Cliburn Competition in 1989), remains a faithful friend of the Foundation and, with his help and that of his assistant,Irina Dubkova (who alsohappensto be a fine composer), the concert auditions ran flaw1essly.

Thanks to the dedication and oatience of John Gerlach, of The Roikefeller University and the generosity of its president (and Nobel laureate) Dr. Torsten Wiesel, 39 concertsin slr days in New York left our jurors still looking forward to the remainins auditions.

SeveralaoolicantsbenefiteJfroma barrageof media attention,which included interviews for a National Public Radio broadcast,a feature-length New York Times article, and with several local journalists. CBS's Sunday Morning brought in a crew to shoot footagefor a future telecastand Catherine Tatge and Dominique Lasseurtook the opportunity to do some advancefilming for the forthcoming documentaryon the Tenth Competition. By the last day,the word of the concerts had reached the ears of even the most jaded New Yorkers: there was standing room only in the 500-seat,acousticallybrilliant Caspary Auditorium.

The team at the Ravinia Festival office that had assistedwith the 1993 Cliburn Competition screening auditions was still in place for the Tenth. Executive Directoi Zarin Mehta orovided Raviniat perfect recital hall, BennettGordon Hall. Emily Creamer left us with no questions unanswered while stagemanager Carter Martin kept the lightson and the applicantson-time.

THn Of course,standardshad to be maintained in our hometown of Fort Worth for our well-traveledjurors.For starters, Steinway& Sons arrangedfor practice pianos to be delivered to the jurors' Worthington Hotel rooms. During these fina1 auditions, as in Italy, great hospitality vied with great music-making. Privately hosted lunches and dinners were daily features which allowed for the making and renewing of valued friendships.The faculty and administration of TexasChristian University once again proved their phenomenalsupport of the Foundation's activities by providing Ed Landreth Auditorium and its unflappable stage manager, Vince Pankey. Outstanding coverageby the Fort Worth Star-Tblegram, which had run long articlesabout the screeningsat eachaudition site,brought out largeand e n th u s ias t icaudienc e sto g re e t th o s e who auditionedin Fort Worth.

In retrospect,live screeningauditions can be viewed as the first phaseof the Competition. They a1lowjury members to experiencefirsthand the personality of the performersin a way that is difficult to convey with videotapes.Even more important, theseauditionsserveas a kind of worldwide festival of piano music attendedby thousandsof people, at onceexposingthe young musiciansto audiences they might never have reachedand enriching these audiences with a vast array of extraordinary musicalexperiences.6

Eo..yo.r. who loves the piano finds it fascinatingto "watch the hands"of a sensational virtuoso-or even those of an ordinary pianist-yet few members of any audiencehave an inkling ofwhat lies behind the technical feats that so attract our eyes."How do they do that?" people whisper to eachother."I dont know, but isnt it great?1"is a usualanswer.And so a kind of contentmentis found in the mystery behind great music-making, rather like that which follows well-executed illusionsby celebratedmagicians.

Houdini, Blackstone,Copperfield;even Siegfried and Roy are names associated with effects of "magic." Their forms of entertainment have always succeeded becauseof the public'sinability to discern the means of their eye-de$ringeffects.

How the public loves being fooled into thinking that the impossible is, somehow, possible! But the dazzling fingerwork of pianistsinvolvesneither sleightof-hand nor any specialequipment with hidden trap doors or mirrors. It rs real, Beethoven'sEntperor Concerto?

aoart the first-movement cadenza of Rachmaninoff's Concerto No. 3, their bralrrra seemsto call for the strength of a bench-pressstrongman.

We hold our breath-and sometimes gasp-as these fierce difficulties are tossedoff by the young performersgatheredat competitionssuch asthis one.But it is a mistake to judge these technical displays at the keyboard only for their athleticism. Rather, it is to their contributions to the musical effect intended by composersthat listenersand jury members should pay heed. Listening for the integration oftechnical gesturesinto the context of a work's musical fabric lets the "big picture"-or form-emerge.

Whether sonata, rondo, A-B-A, or theme-and-variations (to mention the most frequently encountered),the form is there to be projectedby the performer, not just the details of isolated episodes.

Consider Michelangelot giant David.

Th. for the Gnth Van Cliburn "rt*ork International Piano Comoetition is a work of brilliant color entitled 10.6.93.

The watercolor was createdby internationally famed artist Sean Scully. The work reflectshis devotion to the rich tradition of American Dostvvarabstract painting. Mr. Scully has become recognized for his use of bands of color and comoositional allusions to architectural elemints such as windows, portals, and ladders.He has said,"I believewith e1emental forms painted from deep within the self,it is possibleto make something emoathetic that addressesthe architecruri of our spirituality. I think of my paintings as a kind of emotional glue."

The result is a highly personal exploration ofabstraction.

Born in Dublin tn1945, SeanScullywas educatedat the Croydon College of fut in London, where figurative art was the mandatory style.An encounterwith the work of the celebratedAmerican abstract exoressionist Mark Rothko converted him overnight to abstract painting. In 7975, he lef t L o n d o n , w h e re th e had beensuperabstract expressionists

sededby the minimalists. Looking for a cultural climate that was more conducive to his stvle. he moved to New York. In 1983, h; becamean American citizen and he now considershimself to be an American artist. His work shows the influence of both movements while it carries on the tradition of American postwar abstractpainting.

In 1.972-73 Mr. Scully received a John Knox Fellowship, and attended Harvard University. He had his first solo exhibition in New York rn 1977 and taught at Princeton University from then until 1983. He won an Artist's the National Fellowship from Endowment for the futs in 1984 and participatedin An InternationalSurueyof Recent Painting and Sculpture at The Museum of Modern Art in New York.

The first exhibition of his Catherine Paintings took place in 1993 at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, Texas. A traveling retrospectiveof his work, Sean Scu//y:Ttaenty Yearg 19761995, was recently on exhibit at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculoture Garden in Washington,D.C. before it

moved on to museums in Atlanta, Barcelona,Dublin, and Frankfurt. In addition, an exhibit of Mr. Scully'spaintings was shown at the Mary Boone Gallery in New York City in 7995. #

Under her leadershipthe Foundationsetup its endowmentprogram, and during her administrationthe Foundationjoined the World Federationof InternationalMusic Competitions, enhancing the Cliburn Competition's international presence.Fort Worth's offer to host the annual conferenceof the World Federation in 1990 was gratefully accepted,and was a direct result of Mrs. Tilley's work with the organization. Mrs. Tilley was alsothe first to chair two Competitions,in 1981 and 1985.

It is with admiration and gratitude that we salute this community leader who had a global vision for the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition and the personal dedication to seethat vision becomea reality.Her absencewill be deeplyfelt.
