Mozart-Rezeption in Franz Danzis Der Berggeist1 Adrian Kuhl
»Feingefühlte Charakteristik« Mozart-Rezeption in Franz Danzis Der Berggeist1 Adrian Kuhl I In der Allgemeinen musikalischen Zeitung erschien am 25. März 1804 ein Artikel über Wolfgang Amadeus Mozarts Opern, in dem der anonyme Autor über Charakteristika von dessen Musiktheater reflektiert: Was aber den meisten Menschen entgeht, ist die feingefühlte Charakteristik, nicht allein der einzelnen Personen, sondern der ganzen Handlung einer jeden Oper. Im Don Juan die Mischung von Erhabenheit und Leichtsinn; im Figaro die joviale Haltung des Ganzen; in der Zauberflöte Munterkeit gepaart mit Würde und feyerlichem Ernste; in Così fan tutte die sanften Halbtinten der feinern Welt- verhältnisse, diese süsse Schwärmerey, die von der Ouvertüre bis zum letzten Ak- kord des Schlusschors das schönste, in allen Theilen harmonischste Ganze ausma- chen, das irgend ein Künstler je hervorzubringen vermochte, in der Entführung aus dem Serail diese Nationalcharakteristik in der erhabensten Darstellung – was überhaupt ein Vorzug Mozart’s, und nur bey ihm in der Grösse anzutreffen ist: diese Einheit des Charakters – wer hat das je gefühlt, bemerkt, bewundert? Wenn aber ein jedes seiner theatralischen Werke das grosse, seltene Verdienst der Einheit und Charakteristik, das Gepräge des feinsten Menschenkenners an der Stirne trägt: welchem soll ich den Vorzug geben?2 1 Der folgende Beitrag basiert auf Teilen meines Vortrags bei der Tagung Mozartvariationen. Franz Danzi und die Mozartverehrung im ausgehenden 18. Jahrhundert, die am 15. Juni 2013 anlässlich des 250. Geburtstages des Komponisten von der Forschungsstelle »Geschichte der Südwestdeutschen Hofmusik im 18. Jahrhundert« der Heidelberger Akademie der Wissen- schaften in Schwetzingen ausgerichtet wurde. 2 [Franz Danzi]: »An meinen Freund«, in: Allgemeine musikalische Zeitung 6 (1804), No. -

Despite this he is arguably England’s greatest composer some of whose orchestral music has traveled around the world more than any of his compatriots. In addition to the Conceros, his 3 Symphonies and Enigma Variations are his other orchestral masterpieces. His many other works for orchestra, including the Pomp and Circumstance Marches, Falstaff and Cockaigne Overture have been recorded numerous times.

Was Schön, Was Herrlich Heißen Kann ...«
»... alles, was schön, was herrlich heißen kann ...« Kammermusikkonzert »Kleine Serenade« Im Rahmen des Themenjahres 2020 »Unendlich schön. Monumente für die Ewigkeit« Schlossgarten Schwetzingen am Minervatempel 19 Uhr, 26. August 2020 PROGRAMM CARLO GIUSEPPE TOESCHI (1731–1788) Flötenquartett in C-Dur aus: Six simphonies ou quatuors dialogués, Paris [ca. 1764] Allegro grazioso – Menuetto FERDINAND FRÄNZL (1767–1833) Flötenquartett in D-Dur aus: Deux Quatuors [...] op. 10, Augsburg [ca. 1810] Allegro – Andante – Allegretto FRANZ DANZI (1763-1826) Flötenquartett in d-Moll aus: Trois Quatuors […] op. 56, Offenbach (1819) Allegretto – Andantino – Allegretto Menuetto – Allegretto Manches schöne Bauwerk überdauert seine Zeit und wird von der Nachwelt immer noch bewundert. Carl Theodor von der Pfalz hat sich nicht nur mithilfe der Bau- oder Kunstwerke Denkmäler errichten lassen, sondern ging als Begründer der berühmten kurpfälzischen Hofkapelle in die Musikgeschichte ein. Die Virtuosen und Komponisten seiner Hofmusik waren europaweit bekannt und leisteten gewichtige Beiträge vornehmlich auf dem Gebiet der Instrumentalmusik. Ihre Sinfonien und Konzerte hätte man mit einem antiken Minerva- oder Apollo-Tempel vergleichen können. Selbst in kleineren Dimensionen wie in den Werken für kammermusikalische Besetzungen waren sie mitunter federführend. Als die Quartettbesetzung mit einer Flöte, genannt Flötenquartett, ab den 1760er Jahren immer populärer wurde, erfreute sich diese Modeerscheinung auch in Mannheim großer Beliebtheit. Der Konzertmeister und ab 1773 der Kabinettmusikdirektor Carlo Giuseppe Toeschi komponierte – höchstwahrscheinlich ursprünglich für die Musizierstunden seines Dienstherren Carl Theodor – ca. 30 Flötenquartette, die vornehmlich in Paris publiziert wurden. Toeschi wurde zum Vorreiter auf diesem Gebiet, obwohl noch andere Musikerkollegen wie Christian Cannabich, Ignaz Fränzl oder Jean Baptist Wendling Flötenquartette schrieben. Selbst als die Hofkapelle nach München umsiedelte, wurde diese Tradition fortgeführt. -

MR 2292 DANZI Concert Piece.qxp 19.02.2008 15:53 Seite 4 Preface Franz Danzi was baptised in Schwetzingen on 15 June 1763. His father was a cellist in the famous Mannheim orchestra, and Franz also joined the orchestra as cellist at the age of 15. After a spell as Kapellmeister in Stuttgart (where he became friends with Weber), Danzi moved to Karlsruhe in 1812. He died there on 13 April 1826. Danzi’s compositions covered the whole spectrum from opera, church music, orchestral works to chamber music. His works for clarinet include three solo pieces for clarinet and or- chestra, a concertante for clarinet and flute, a sonata for clarinet & piano, a sonata for bas- sethorn and piano and eight wind quintets (the works for which he is principally known today). The present work was published by Breitkopf & Härtel around 1813 and this arrangement for clarinet and piano is based on a copy of the original edition in the Deutsche Staatsbib- liothek in Berlin. The title page reads: “Pot-pourri pour la Clarinette avec accompagnement de deux Violons, Viola et Basse, Flûte, 2 Hautbois, 2 Bassons et 2 Cors ad libitum par F. Danzi, op. 45.” The wind parts do not add anything of melodic interest, but feature more or less entirely in the tuttis. The title of the work has here been changed to “Concert Piece No. 1” as Danzi’s later two “Pot-pourris” have already been published as “Concert Pieces Nos. 2 and 3.” There are very few dynamic markings in the original edition. In fact, the clarinet solo part contains only three (in mm. -
Reconsidering the Nineteenth-Century Potpourri: Johann Nepomuk Hummel’S Op
Reconsidering the Nineteenth-Century Potpourri: Johann Nepomuk Hummel’s Op. 94 for Viola and Orchestra A document submitted to The Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in the Performance Studies Division of the College-Conservatory of Music 2018 by Fan Yang B. M., Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts, 2008 M. M., Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts, 2010 D. M. A. Candidacy, University of Cincinnati, 2013 Abstract The Potpourri for Viola and Orchestra, Op. 94 by Johann Nepomuk Hummel is available in a heavily abridged edition, entitled Fantasy, which causes confusions and problems. To clarify this misperception and help performers choose between the two versions, this document identifies the timeline and sources that exist for Hummel’s Op. 94 and compares the two versions of this work, focusing on material from the Potpourri missing in the Fantasy, to determine in what ways it contributes to the original work. In addition, by examining historical definitions and composed examples of the genre as well as philosophical ideas about the faithfulness to a work—namely, idea of the early nineteenth-century work concept, Werktreue—as well as counter arguments, this research aims to rationalize the choice to perform the Fantasy or Potpourri according to varied situations and purposes, or even to suggest adopting or adapting the Potpourri into a new version. Consequently, a final goal is to spur a reconsideration of the potpourri genre, and encourage performers and audiences alike to include it in their learning and programming. -
