In Brass Pedagogy: Its History and Interrelationship with the Theories of Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi THE CONCEPT OF “FLOW” IN BRASS PEDAGOGY: ITS HISTORY AND INTERRELATIONSHIP WITH THE THEORIES OF MIHALY CSIKSZENTMIHALYI BY BRETT STEMPLE Submitted to the faculty of the Jacobs School of Music in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree, Doctor of Music, Indiana University May 2018 Accepted by the faculty of the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music, in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Music Doctoral Committee ______________________________________ Barbara Dennis, Research Director ______________________________________ Daniel Perantoni, Chair ______________________________________ Carl Lenthe ______________________________________ John Rommel April 12, 2018 ii Copyright © 2018 Brett Stemple iii For Jackie and Jack, the embodiment of flow, and our first Doctors. iv Acknowledgements Thank you Jisu, Minjoo, Haeun and Yohan, for being the grace that found me. Thank you Derek, René, and Alicia, for being my first heroes. I am immensely grateful for the patience and perseverance of my Doctoral Committee: Professors Carl Lenthe, and John Rommel, whose support and encouragement has been steadfast throughout the extended odyssey that has been my Doctor of Music degree program; a special thanks to my Research Director, Professor Barbara Dennis, who inspired the design and execution of the flow- study research, who was an invaluable advisor and motivational resource throughout the entire writing process, and who encouraged me to keep going, when others might have counselled otherwise; and finally to Provost Professor, Daniel Perantoni, who is the kind of artist-teacher, mentor, and friend that you only hear about in dreams. My aspiration as a professional musician and as a teacher of music is to exemplify the kind of musical and pedagogical-flow that “Mr. P” has demonstrated through his artistry, his passion for pedagogy, and his humanity throughout the half-century of miraculous teaching. I am fortunate to have had Professor Xian Guang Han, Mr. Mark Gould, and Professor Ingemar Roos, participate in my flow-pedagogy interview-study, in addition to Professor Perantoni. Their collective wisdom, musicianship, and passion for the art of music education could fill volumes. They are a capital Q in my first venture into qualitative research, and I am utterly grateful for their invaluable contribution to this project. Finally, I am blessed to be employed by an institutional community as dynamic, supportive and forward-looking as the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music, of the National University of Singapore. I am constantly inspired by the faculty, staff, and most of all, by the extremely talented v and vibrant student-body. A special thanks to Professor Bernard Lanskey, Dean of the Conservatory, whose example, mentorship, and support have been instrumental in my development as a pedagogue, administrator and performing-researcher. vi Preface The Master leads by emptying people's minds and filling their cores, by weakening their ambition and toughening their resolve. He helps people lose everything they know, everything they desire, and creates confusion in those who think that they know. Practice not-doing, and everything will fall into place. —Lao Tze In music, so often a teacher makes the mistake of altering the machine activity rather than altering what he wants accomplished. The instructor is giving machine methods on how to do it, but people don’t work that way. None of us can. It is so simple. If you want a big breath, Just take in a lot of air. If you want to blow, just blow. A teacher should always try for the simple answers that bring about the proper motor response. That idea belongs not in the realm of anatomy, but in the realm of psychology. —Arnold Jacobs vii Table of Contents Acknowledgements ..................................................................................................................... v Preface. ..................................................................................................................................... vii Table of Contents .....................................................................................................................viii List of Examples ........................................................................................................................ ix List of Figures ............................................................................................................................. x List of Appendices ..................................................................................................................... xi Chapter 1: Traditional Applications of Flow in Brass Pedagogy vis-à-vis Psychological Flow ..... 1 Chapter 2: Historiography of Brass Pedagogy as it Applies to Concepts of Pedagogical Flow .... 16 Chapter 3: Aspects of Flow in Brass Pedagogy: The Interview Study......................................... 84 Chapter 4: Flow in Brass Pedagogy: Data Analysis and Interpretation ....................................... 94 Chapter 5: Epilogue: Brass Flow-Pedagogy, Applications and Conclusions ............................. 130 Appendix A: Protocol for Interview Session I .......................................................................... 133 Appendix B: Protocol for Interview Session II ......................................................................... 135 Appendix C: Interview-Study: Coding Data-Cloud .................................................................. 137 Bibliography ........................................................................................................................... 138 viii List of Examples Example 1: Cornett and Violin Clefs ......................................................................................... 24 Example 2: Trombone and Bassoon Clefs.................................................................................. 25 ix List of Figures Figure 1: Trombones, cornetts, and trumpets in Syntagma Musicum II ....................................... 22 Figure 2: Woodcut by Hans Burgkmair from the Triumphzug des Kaisers Maximilian I (1516) . 30 Figure 3: Bendinelli’s Trumpet Figure 4: Woodcut Portrait of Girolamo Fantini (1636) ........... 35 Figure 5: Cornetts and trombones in a polychoral performance .................................................. 41 Figure 6: Natural horn in F, by Johann Carl Kodisch, Imperial City of Nürnberg, 1684. ............. 43 Figure 7: Portrait of Gottfried Reiche by Elias Gottlieb Haussmann (1723) ................................ 44 Figure 8: Copperplate image: Giovanni Punto (1782) ................................................................ 48 Figure 9: Portrait of Anton Weidinger ....................................................................................... 54 Figure 10: Keyed-trumpet in G with crooks ............................................................................... 54 Figure 11: Types of nineteenth-century embellishments from a brass-pedagogy perspective. ..... 66 x List of Appendices Appendix A: Protocol for Interview Session I .......................................................................... 133 Appendix B: Protocol for Interview Session II ......................................................................... 135 Appendix C: Interview-Study: Coding Data Cloud .................................................................. 137 xi Chapter 1: Traditional Applications of Flow in Brass Pedagogy vis-à-vis Psychological Flow Throughout the history of brass pedagogy, the concept of flow has played an important role in the development of three central aspects of brass artistry: a musical, lyrical approach to phrasing; an unencumbered flowing approach to brass-instrument technique; and the efficient use of instrumental breathing, i.e. the flow of the breath as a central component of sound production. Since 1990, when the psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi outlined the concept “flow” as an optimal state of mind, “in which a person performing an activity is fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and enjoyment in the process of the activity,” in his book by the same name, Flow1, it has also become an important idea in the field of psychology, including educational psychology, sports psychology, and psychology related to performance-studies including instrumental pedagogy. Whilst pursuing my graduate studies in tuba performance and pedagogy at Indiana University’s Jacobs School of Music, and after reading Csikszentmihalyi’s influential work, I began thinking extensively about not only how psychological-flow is essential to optimal musical performance, but also about how great brass pedagogues might intuitively (or explicitly) apply psychological-flow concepts to dimensions of their pedagogical approach in one-to-one studio teaching. With hindsight, I can see that in my own education as a brass musician, some of my most transformative leaps of progress happened during epiphanal moments in one-to-one studio lessons; moments in which I was so immersed and focused on my teacher’s pedagogical directive, that a previously artificial, analytical, self-consciousness approach to brass playing 1 Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience, Steps Towards Enhancing The Quality of Life (New York: Harper & Row, 1990), Kindle Location 130, Kindle. 1 (inherent with many student-musicians) was, often without my full awareness, being supplanted with a more natural, more intuitive, and more positively unconscious methodology,

  • Natural Trumpet Music and the Modern Performer A
    NATURAL TRUMPET MUSIC AND THE MODERN PERFORMER A Thesis Presented to The Graduate Faculty of The University of Akron In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Music Laura Bloss December, 2012 NATURAL TRUMPET MUSIC AND THE MODERN PERFORMER Laura Bloss Thesis Approved: Accepted: _________________________ _________________________ Advisor Dean of the College Dr. Brooks Toliver Dr. Chand Midha _________________________ _________________________ Faculty Reader Dean of the Graduate School Mr. Scott Johnston Dr. George R. Newkome _________________________ _________________________ School Director Date Dr. Ann Usher ii ABSTRACT The Baroque Era can be considered the “golden age” of trumpet playing in Western Music. Recently, there has been a revival of interest in Baroque trumpet works, and while the research has grown accordingly, the implications of that research require further examination. Musicians need to be able to give this factual evidence a context, one that is both modern and historical. The treatises of Cesare Bendinelli, Girolamo Fantini, and J.E. Altenburg are valuable records that provide insight into the early development of the trumpet. There are also several important modern resources, most notably by Don Smithers and Edward Tarr, which discuss the historical development of the trumpet. One obstacle for modern players is that the works of the Baroque Era were originally played on natural trumpet, an instrument that is now considered a specialty rather than the standard. Trumpet players must thus find ways to reconcile the inherent differences between Baroque and current approaches to playing by combining research from early treatises, important trumpet publications, and technical and philosophical input from performance practice essays.

Burak Karaağaç olmak üzere, çalışmalarım boyunca beni her daim destekleyen aileme ve dostlarıma sonsuz teşekkürlerimi bir borç bilirim. vi ÖZET BOZALP, Deniz, Paul Hindemith Trompet ve Piyano için Sonatın Form ve İcra Yönünden İncelenmesi, Yüksek Lisans Sanat Çalışması Raporu, Ankara, 2018. Paul Hindemith, modern müziğin en önemli bestecilerinden biridir. Bestecinin matematiksel olarak deha sayılabilecek bir yazım stili vardır (Dinç, 2008). “Belki de bu yüzdendir ki Mustafa Kemal Atatürk’ün daveti üzerine 1935 yılında Türkiye’ye gelmiş ve müzik yaşamının daha kapsamlı bir biçimde örgütlenip organize edilmesi hususunda danışman olarak görev yapmıştır” (Say,1998). Paul Hindemith, ülkemizde çalışacak sanatçı kadrolarını da kendisi belirleyerek 1935-37 yılları arasında Ankara’da o zamanki adı Devlet Konservatuvarı olan okulumuzu en ince ayrıntısına dek tasarlayıp kurmuştu Eğitim sistemimizde ve tarihimizde oldukça emeği olan bestecinin bu başarılarının tohumları aslında çok küçük yaşta atılmıştır. Henüz çocukken keman çalışmalarına başlayan Paul Hindemith, Frankfurt Konservatuvarı’na girerek ileri keman, orkestra şefliği ve kompozisyon dersleri almış ve 1914 de yardımcı şef, 1917 de ise konzertmeister olarak Frankfurt Opera Orkestrası’nda önemli pozisyonlarda görev yapmıştır. Aynı yıldan 1940 yılına kadar gerek besteciliği, gerek kemancılığı, gerek eğitimci yönü, gerekse viyolacılığı ve orkestra şefliği ile uluslararası müzik çevrelerinde büyük başarılar elde etmiştir.

  • Characterization And' Taxonomy Acoustical Standpoint
    Characterization and' Taxonomy of Historic Brass Musical Instruments from ae Acoustical Standpoint Arnold Myers Ph.D. The University of Edinburgh 1998 I" V *\- Abstract The conceptual bases of existing classification schemes for brasswind are examined. The requirements of a taxonomy relating to the character of brass musical instruments as experienced by players and listeners are discussed. Various directly and indirectly measurable physical parameters are defined. The utility of these parameters in classification is assessed in a number of case studies on instruments in museums and collections. The evolution of instrument design since 1750 in terms of these characterization criteria is outlined. Declaration I declare that this thesis has been composed by me and that the work is my own. ? r % *} Acknowledgements I have been encouraged and helped by many in my investigations. My supervisors, D. Murray Campbell in the Department of Physics and Astronomy Christopher D.S. Field, and John Kitchen in the Faculty of Music have provided wise guidance whenever needed. Raymond Parks, Research Fellow in Fluid Dynamics, Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Edinburgh, has given unfailing support, and has been responsible for much of the measuring equipment I have used. David Sharp has used the pulse reflectornetry techniques developed in the course of his own research to obtain bore reconstructions of numerous specimens for me. Herbert Heyde kindly discussed the measurement of historic brass instruments with me. Stewart Benzie has carried out instrument repairs for me and made the crook described in Chapter 5. I am grateful to the curators of many museums for allowing me access to the historic instruments in their care.

    3-7 /9, Y AN ANALYSIS OF JOHANN NEPOMUK HUMMEL'S CONCERTO FOR TRUMPET THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF MUSIC By Barry R. Hopper, B. A. Denton, Texas June, 1970 PREFACE During the first half of the twentieth century the trumpet has gained its position as a solo instrument, even surpassing its esteemed position in the High Baroque Era. With the combined efforts of performers like Herbert L. Clark, Ernest S. Williams, and Joseph Arban, and the efforts of the French school of trumpet playing, notably thoselof Raymond Sabarich, the trumpet has risen from a mere accompanying instrument of the Classical Period and early Romantic Era to its present place as an expressive solo instrument. In this relatively new position the trumpeter is faced with one serious problem: that is one of limited literature. The trumpeter of today is almost compelled to perform either works of the Baroque Era or solos written within the last thirty years. Unlike the flutist or oboist, who draws a wealth of litera ture from the Classical and Romantic periods, not to mention the heritage from the Baroque Era, the trumpeter must be content with his limited works of the Classical perios, namely those of Joseph Haynd, Johann Hummel, Johann Albrechtsberger and Johann Molter, and the almost non-existent works of the Romantic period. The need of literature from the Classical Period is unquestionable and is proven by the many fine musical performances of the Haydn and Hummel trumpet concertos.

  • Playlist #22 - Wednesday, September 2Nd, 2020
    Legato in Times of Staccato Playlist #22 - Wednesday, September 2nd, 2020 Curated by Music Director, Fouad Fakhouri Beethoven: Violin Concerto (Itzhak Perlman, violin) Written in 1806 (between his Fourth and Fifth Symphonies) Beethoven wrote the only Violin Concerto he completed for violin virtuoso, Franz Clement. The Napoleonic invasion of Austria was in full stride when he completed the work. In fact, the French officers were quartered in the same house with Beethoven when he set the last marking to the concerto. Beethoven: Triple Concerto in C major Op. 56 & Choral Fantasy in C minor Op. 80 (Itzhak Perlman, Yo-Yo Ma, & Daniel Barenboim) Ludwig van Beethoven's Concerto for Violin, Cello, and Piano in C major, Op. 56, more commonly known as the Triple Concerto, was composed in 1803 and later published in 1804 by Breitkopf & Härtel. The choice of the three solo instruments effectively makes this a concerto for piano trio, and it is the only concerto Beethoven ever completed for more than one solo instrument. Bach: Cello Suite No. 1 in G Major (Yo-Yo Ma, cello) The Prelude of the 1st Suite for unaccompanied cello by J.S. Bach is possibly the most immediately recognizable solo work for the instrument. The pattern of the suite is the one largely followed in the subsequent suites: a free prelude, followed by a fast Allemande and Courante, a contemplative Sarabande, a Minuet that makes an excursion into a minor key, and a speedy closing Gigue. Haydn: Trumpet Concerto (Wynton Marsalis, trumpet) Joseph Haydn's Trumpet Concerto was written in 1796 for his long-time friend Anton Weidinger.
