Even with regular concert-going, people only had limited opportunities to hear any work. At the beginning of the 1800s, there was an enormous market of arrangements for home use, ranging from solo- violin transcriptions of melodies from operas, through works for chamber ensemble, ‘enlargements’ of piano works, re- instrumentations of other works, and reductions of orchestral pieces. An important ‘point of sale’ for much of this type of chamber music, was that it should function in a number of configurations. Duo transcriptions of opera arias were written so that they could be played by flutes or violins, and transcriptions involving piano usually functioned acceptably with all the ‘accompanying’ melody instruments missed out. It was in these versions that most people learnt the popular repertoire, playing or listening in the home or salon. It would be three decades into the 1800s before ‘full scores’ of orchestral pieces became available for study; Robert Schumann, writing in his 1841 ‘Marriage Diary’ with his new wife, Clara, spoke of his wish for a library of these for the two of them to work at together, playing the orchestra scores at the piano.

As we begin our 24thseason of bringing affordable live music to the community, I want to thank our patrons, partners and sponsors for their support. Without you, we would not be where we are today. Over the past few years, BONJ has continued to grow artistically, as can be discovered by a review of the programs offered, the artists involved and the quality of the performances (clips available on our website, YouTube, Cablevision, e.g.). The Pearl & Julius Young Music Competition, and The Cynthia Platt Scholarship offer young musicians the chance to continue their music education and to perform with the Orchestra. I especially want to highlight two areas where our presence has expanded significantly: Locally: we have performed at Fundraisers for several important organizations including the Madison Area YMCA, Loyola Jesuit Center, United Way of Northern New Jersey, and Life with Joy, Inc. In addition, we have partnered with Morris Arts, Madison Arts & Culture Alliance, Morris Arts and Culture Committee, US National Park Service, Morris Tourism Bureau, among others, to produce programs that combine music with other arts, culture and historical offerings available in our commu- nity. Internationally: driven primarily by Maestro Robert W. Butts's growing recognition as a Conductor, Composer, Professor, and Musician, performances by Maestro Butts and BONJ musicians, and of his music have taken place in London, Venice, Korea, France, Italy, and Poland.

Importance and Pedagogical Value of Three Sonatas for Two Cellos, Op
PLACZEK, ROMAN, D.M.A. Importance and Pedagogical Value of Three Sonatas for Two Cellos, Op. 43 by Bernhard Romberg (2014). Directed by Dr. Alexander Ezerman. 127 pp. The Three Sonatas for Two Cellos, Op. 43 by Bernhard Heinrich Romberg were composed as a progressive performance work. The most widely used copy of the work is a C. F. Peters, Leipzig Edition edited by Friedrich Wilhelm Grützmacher. In this edition, the Sonatas are exhaustively marked with fingerings, alternate fingering, dynamics, dynamic changes, glissandi, bowings, bowstrokes and bow placement, accents, tempo changes, moods, and articulations. The combination of Romberg's melodic and pedagogically thought-through compositions and Grützmacher's expert editorial work results in invaluable pedagogical and performance work. Each subsequent sonata presents bigger challenge for a player while each preceding one also serves as a training tool for successful mastering of the following one. The Opus 43 is a set of individually viable sonatas that can stand independently and still serve as useful learning material. Grützmacher's respect for Romberg's style and his clear vision of pedagogical benefits are reflected in logical sequence of fingering and bowing challenges presented in each Sonata. Precise and complete performance markings serve as an essential guiding tool navigating a player towards a successful performance. If learned and performed as a set, the Three Sonatas for Two Cellos, Op. 43 by Bernard Heinrich Romberg are an excellent progressive performance work of the advanced level. 1 The purpose of this analysis is to revive and highlight the importance of Romberg’s compositions and Grützmacher’s editorial effort and the pedagogical value of a direct teacher-student interaction the Three Sonatas for Two Cellos, Opus 43 represent.

Toccata Classics TOCC0040 Notes
P ANTON REICHA’S VIENNA STRING QUARTETS: VOLUME TWO by Ron Drummond This is the second of four CDs devoted to the eight string quartets that Anton Reicha (1770–1836) composed in Vienna, themselves part of a larger project to record all of Reicha’s surviving string quartets. In undertaking these recordings – world premieres, all – the Kreutzer Quartet is filling in a major gap in the history of the quartet as a form. At the time of their composition in 1802–5 the Vienna quartets were startlingly original, and their contributions to the form remain as instructive as they are idiosyncratic. The extent of their influence on Beethoven and Schubert is only starting to become clear, but early signs indicate it was not inconsiderable. A Creative Engagement Neither the friendship nor the creative rivalry between Reicha and Beethoven has received even a fraction of the scholarly attention it deserves. Even to begin to dig beneath the surface of their relationship – begun in the orchestra at Bonn when both were in their mid-teens and carried on intermittently for the rest of their lives – is to discover a rich intellectual and aesthetic engagement all the more astonishing for having gone unexamined for so long. Reicha’s seven years in Vienna, from late 1801 to late 1808 – the heart of Beethoven’s ‘heroic’ decade – were a crucial period in his own development. As Reicha later recalled, The number of works I finished in Vienna is astonishing. Once started, my verve and imagination were indefatigable. Ideas came to me so rapidly it was often difficult to set them down without losing some of them.

Beethoven-Serie 03
Dr. Stephan Eisel An der Vogelweide 11 53229 Bonn [email protected] (17. Januar 2020) Stephan Eisel Die Musikstadt Bonn Die Musikliebhaberey nimmt unter den Einwohnern sehr zu“ – so charakterisierte das renommierte Magazin für Musik am 8. April 1787 Beethovens Heimatstadt, und ohne Zweifel wuchs der Komponist in einer ausgesprochenen Musikstadt auf. Das Zentrum bildeten die Hofkapelle und das Hoftheater, in dem die aktuellsten Opern der Zeit gespielt wurden. Darum herum hatte sich zugleich eine außerordentlich vielfältige Szene begabter Laienmusiker gebildet, zu denen auch der Kurfürst selbst gehörte. Als jüngster Sohn der Kaiserin Maria Theresia hatte Max Franz eine solide Musikausbildung erhalten, musizierte selbst vor allem an der Bratsche und nannte eine außergewöhnliche Notensammlung sein Eigen. Mit Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart war er persönlich bekannt und hatte auch die Möglichkeit ventiliert, diesen zum Bonner Hofkapellmeister zu berufen. Das Rückgrat der Musikstadt Bonn waren die örtlichen Musikerfamilien. Dass bei den Beethovens ab 1733 mit dem Bassisten und späteren Hofkapellmeister Ludwig van Beethoven d.Ä., seinem Sohn Johann (Tenor) und dem Enkel Ludwig drei Generationen aus einer Familie der Hofkapelle angehörten, war dabei keineswegs ungewöhnlich. Eine besonders einflussreiche Bonner Musiker-Dynastie war die Familie Ries. Johann Ries, gleichsam der „Urvater“ der Familie, war schon 1747 als Trompeter und ab 1754 als Geiger Mitglied in der Hofkapelle. Zwei seiner vier Kinder wurden ebenfalls Mitglieder des Orchesters: Johanns älteste Tochter Anna Maria (verheiratete Drewer) war 1764-1794 eine viel gelobte Sängerin, sein Sohn Franz Anton galt als Wunderkind und wurde 1774 offiziell als Geiger in die Hofkapelle aufgenommen, der er – in den 90er Jahren als Konzertmeister bzw.

Carnal Musicology in a New Edition of Luigi Boccherini's Cello Concerto
Carnal Musicology in a New Edition of Luigi Boccherini’s Cello Concerto in D major G. 478 D.M.A. Document Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Samuel Converse Johnson, M.M. Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2020 D.M.A. Committee: Professor Mark Rudoff, Advisor Dr. Kristina MacMullen Dr. Juliet White-Smith Dr. David Clampitt Copyright by Samuel Converse Johnson 2020 Abstract The music of Luigi Boccherini has experienced a slow and steady revival over the last half century, yet few of his twelve cello concertos are widely published. This document presents a newly engraved edition of Boccherini’s Cello Concerto in D major G. 478, including solo parts and full score. I use carnal musicology to support a historically informed editorship of the cello part. In doing so I critique the anachronistic ways in which Boccherini’s music has been edited and published, particularly by Friedrich Grützmacher in his late 19th century Boccherini concerto mash-up. Grützmacher’s widely accepted version compromises the techniques that would have been implicit in Boccherini’s music, such that these inventions are lost in modern cello pedagogy and performance. My approach offers a new way of teaching and historicizing music that is faithful to Boccherini and caring toward the cello playing body. This project provides resources for the well-being of musicians and their bodies through a musicology that re-centers practice as community rather than isolation. The primary historical contributions I make to what we know of Boccherini are embodied and transcribed into the performance edition itself.
