Indeed, from a position of relative obscurity when he arrived in New York in 1959, he went on to become one of contemporary jazz’s most prolific and commercially successful composers. The main focus of this dissertation will be Zawinul’s rise to prominence in American jazz during the 1960s and 1970s.

A. School of Music Second Reader: __________________________________ Cynthia GonzaLes, Ph.D. School of Music Approved: ____________________________________ Heather C. GaLLoway, Ph.D. Dean, Honors ColLege 2 Abstract This thesis contains a performance guide for Sergey Prokofiev’s Sonata for Flute and Piano in D Major, Op. 94 (1943). Prokofiev is among the most important Russian composers of the twentieth century. Recognized as a leading Neoclassicist, his bold innovations in harmony and his new palette of tone colors enliven the classical structures he embraced. This is especially evident in this flute sonata, which provides a microcosm of Prokofiev’s compositional style and highlights the beauty and virtuosic breadth of the flute in new ways. In Part 1 I have constructed an historical context for the sonata, with biographical information about Prokofiev, which includes anecdotes about his personality and behavior, and a discussion of the sonata’s commission and subsequent premiere. In Part 2 I offer an anaLysis of the piece with generaL performance suggestions and specific performance practice options for flutists that will assist them as they work toward an effective performance, one that is based on both the historically informed performance context, as well as remarks that focus on particular techniques, challenges and possible performance solutions.

Bohuslav grew up in a family without material wealth. He began violin at a young age and excelled quickly. The town was impressed by his talent when attending his recitals, and raised the funds to send him to the Prague Conservatory in 1906. Martinu was expelled from the Prague conservatory in 1910 due to "incorrigible negligence." Martinu became more interested in the composition aspect of music than his individual performance, and as such did not practice his violin enough. First Sonata for Flute and Piano was composed in 1945 in South Orleans, Cape Cod. During this time, Marinu was living in the United States to escape France when it was occupied by the Nazis in WW2. Though he didn't speak english very well, Martinu quickly adapted to his environment and ended up teaching both at Princeton and the Tanglewood institution in Berkshire. First Sonata was written for Georges Laurent, the principle flutist of the Boston Symphony. It premiered in New York 1949. Remnants ofMartinu's past can be heard throughout the sonata, such as the perfect fourths in the first movement that represent the church bells his father rang.

Tra i primi si annoverano gli eredi dell’archetipo classico, ritemprati da sostanziose iniezioni di virtuosità a tratti sbalorditiva, ma pur sempre inchiodati a quella ‘solita forma’: tre movimenti dalla successione canonica (semplificando: veloce, lento, veloce) e dai rapporti tonali consueti, il primo dei quali aderente per forma e spirito ai principi sonatistici. Nella seconda categoria, quella del concerto ‘sinfonico’, troviamo invece un diverso equilibrio tra le parti: il solista riduce sensibilmente le sue pretese, per lascia- re spazio a un intervento strutturato – appunto ‘sinfonico’ – dell’orchestra, dove il solista interviene come membro rilevato della stessa compagine.
