The Eminent Pedagogue Johann Joachim Quantz As Instructor Of Kulturgeschichte Preuûens - Colloquien 6 (2018) Walter Kurt Kreyszig The Eminent Pedagogue Johann Joachim Quantz as Instructor of Frederick the Great During the Years 1728-1741: The Solfeggi, the Versuch einer Anweisung die Flöte traversière zu spielen, and the Capricen, Fantasien und Anfangsstücke of Quantz, the Flötenbuch of Frederick the Great and Quantz, and the Achtundzwanzig Variationen über die Arie "Ich schlief, da träumte mir" of Quantz (QV 1:98) Abstract Johann Joachim Quantz (1697-1773), the flute instructor of Frederick the Great (1712-1786), played a seminal role in the development of the Prussian Court Music, during its formative years between 1713 and 1806. As a result of his lifetime appointment to the Court of Potsdam in 1741 by King Frederick the Great, Quantz was involved in numerous facets of the cultural endeavors at the Court, including his contributions to composition, performance and organology. Nowhere was his presence more acutely felt than in his formulation of music-pedagogical materials an activity where his knowledge as a preminent pedagogue and his skills as a composer, organologist and performer fused together in most astounding fashion. Quantz's effectiveness in his teaching of his most eminent student, Frederick the Great, is fully borne out in a number of documents, including the Solfeggi, the Versuch, the Caprices, Fantasien und Anfangsstücke, and the Achtundzwanzig Variationen über die Arie "Ich schlief, da träumte mir". While each document touches on different aspects of the musical discipline, these sources vividly underscore the intersection between musica theorica and musica practica and as such provide testimony of Johann Joachim Quantz as a genuine musicus. Keywords: compositional practice, flute repertory, instruction manuals, musicus, organology, performance practices, Johann Joachim Quantz as musicus <1> Among the principal treatises of the mid eighteenth century1, the Versuch einer Anweisung die Flöte traversiëre zu spielen (1752) of Johann Joachim Quantz (1697-1773) enjoyed the widest dissemination across Europe2.

    Intégral 30 (2016) pp. 67–80 Dynamics and Dissonance: The Implied Harmonic Theory of J. J. Quantz by Evan Jones Abstract. Chapter 17, Section 6 of Quantz’s Versuch einer Anweisung die Flöte traver- siere zu spielen (1752) includes a short original composition entitled “Affettuoso di molto.” This piece features an unprecedented variety of dynamic markings, alternat- ing abruptly from loud to soft extremes and utilizing every intermediate gradation. Quantz’s discussion of this example provides an analytic context for the dynamic markings in the score: specific levels of relative amplitude are prescribed for particu- lar classes of harmonic events, depending on their relative dissonance. Quantz’s cat- egories anticipate Kirnberger’s distinction between essential and nonessential dis- sonance and closely coincide with even later conceptions as indicated by the various chords’ spans on the Oettingen–Riemann Tonnetz and on David Temperley’s “line of fifths.” The discovery of a striking degree of agreement between Quantz’s prescrip- tions for performance and more recent theoretical models offers a valuable perspec- tive on eighteenth-century musical intuitions and suggests that today’s intuitions might not be very different. Keywords and phrases: Quantz, Versuch, Affettuoso di molto, thoroughbass, disso- nance, dynamics, Kirnberger, Temperley, line of fifths, Tonnetz. 1. Dynamic Markings in Quantz’s ing.

  • Johann Joachim Quantz
    Johann Joachim Quantz Portrait by an unknown 18th-century artist An account of his life taken largely from his autobiography published in 1754–5 Greg Dikmans Johann Joachim Quantz (1697–1773) Quantz was a flute player and composer at royal courts, writer on music and flute maker, and one of the most famous musicians of his day. His autobiography, published in F.W. Marpurg’s Historisch-kritische Beyträge (1754– 5), is the principal source of information on his life. It briefly describes his early years and then focuses on his activities in Dresden (1716–41), his Grand Tour (1724– 27) and his work at the court of Frederick the Great in Berlin and Potsdam (from 1741). Quantz was born in the village Oberscheden in the province of Hannover (northwestern Germany) on 30 January 1697. His father was a blacksmith. At the age of 11, after being orphaned, he began an apprenticeship (1708–13) with his uncle Justus Quantz, a town musician in Merseburg. Quantz writes: I wanted to be nothing but a musician. In August … I went to Merseburg to begin my apprenticeship with the former town-musician, Justus Quantz. … The first instrument which I had to learn was the violin, for which I also seemed to have the greatest liking and ability. Thereon followed the oboe and the trumpet. During my years as an apprentice I worked hardest on these three instruments. Merseburg Matthäus Merian While still an apprentice Quantz also arranged to have keyboard lessons: (1593–1650) Due to my own choosing, I took some lessons at this time on the clavier, which I was not required to learn, from a relative of mine, the organist Kiesewetter.

During his years in Ruppin and Rheinsberg as Crown Prince, Frederick had already assembled a small chamber orchestra. The cultural life at the Prussian court was to receive an entirely new significance after Frederick’s accession to the throne in Berlin in 1740. Within a short time, Berlin’s musical life began to flower thanks to the young king’s decision to construct an opera house and to engage outstanding instrumentalists, singers and conductors. As a compensation for the demanding affairs of state, the Prussian king enjoyed playing and composing for the flute in a style closely following that of histeacher Johann Joachim Quantz. Quantz called this the mixed style, one that combined the German style with the bestelements of the Italian and French national styles.

  • "Mixed Taste," Cosmopolitanism, and Intertextuality in Georg Philipp
    “MIXED TASTE,” COSMOPOLITANISM, AND INTERTEXTUALITY IN GEORG PHILIPP TELEMANN’S OPERA ORPHEUS Robert A. Rue A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC May 2017 Committee: Arne Spohr, Advisor Mary Natvig Gregory Decker © 2017 Robert A. Rue All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Arne Spohr, Advisor Musicologists have been debating the concept of European national music styles in the Baroque period for nearly 300 years. But what precisely constitutes these so-called French, Italian, and German “tastes”? Furthermore, how do contemporary sources confront this issue and how do they delineate these musical constructs? In his Music for a Mixed Taste (2008), Steven Zohn achieves success in identifying musical tastes in some of Georg Phillip Telemann’s instrumental music. However, instrumental music comprises only a portion of Telemann’s musical output. My thesis follows Zohn’s work by identifying these same national styles in opera: namely, Telemann’s Orpheus (Hamburg, 1726), in which the composer sets French, Italian, and German texts to music. I argue that though identifying the interrelation between elements of musical style and the use of specific languages, we will have a better understanding of what Telemann and his contemporaries thought of as national tastes. I will begin my examination by identifying some of the issues surrounding a selection of contemporary treatises, in order explicate the problems and benefits of their use. These sources include Johann Joachim Quantz’s Versuch einer Anweisung die Flöte zu spielen (1752), two of Telemann’s autobiographies (1718 and 1740), and Johann Adolf Scheibe’s Critischer Musikus (1737).

  • A Técnica De Arranjo E Transcrição De Johann Sebastian Bach T ______E Pedro Rodrigues Universidade De Aveiro S
    D E B A A técnica de arranjo e transcrição de Johann Sebastian Bach T _________________________________________________ E Pedro Rodrigues Universidade de Aveiro S Resumo: a utilização de música não originalmente escrita para violão assume, actualmente, um papel fundamental para a multiplicidade de concepções de repertórios. O presente trabalho apresenta um levantamento de processos transcricionais usados por 14 Johann Sebastian Bach em suas transcrições e arranjos. Este conjunto de técnicas permite encontrar alternativas às eventuais problemáticas levantadas durante a transcrição e simultaneamente, processos para manter inalterada a significação proposta pelo compositor. A análise apresentada deverá possibilitar a transcrição de obras onde a facies, diferente do texto original, não comprometerá a significatio proposta pelo seu compositor e, graças à análise histórica, emergir no futuro com novas criações. A constatação de elementos diferenciadores (ad exemplum timbre, cor, elaboração, redução, transposição) reforça a comparação de contrastes entre obra original e obra transcrita. Adicionalmente, este trabalho deseja reforçar a independência estética que se associa a cada uma das versões. Pretende-se assim uma maior conscientização do processo que poderemos chamar de transcricional para que o repertório violonístico alcance uma maior amplitude. Palavras-chave: Transcrição. Arranjo. Violão. Barroco. Performance Johann Sebastian Bach’s method of arrangement and transcription Abstract: The use of music no originally written for guitar, has, nowadays, a main role in the construction of multiple repertories. This work presents an analysis of transcriptional processes used by Johann Sebastian Bach in his arrangements and transcriptions. The array of processes provides alternatives to eventual problems raised during the transcription elaboration and at the same time, options to maintain unaltered the musical intention proposed by the composer.

  • I PERFORMANCE PRACTICE and ANALYSIS of JOHANN
    i PERFORMANCE PRACTICE AND ANALYSIS OF JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH’S ARIA FOR TENOR AND FLUTE OBBLIGATO, WO WIRD IN DIESEM JAMMERTALE, FROM CANTATA BWV 114 A CREATIVE PROJECT SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE MASTER OF MUSIC BY REBECCA L. SALMEN DR. MIHOKO WATANABE - ADVISOR BALL STATE UNIVERSITY MUNCIE, INDIANA MAY 2009 1 Musical style, the character of the music, is truly at the mercy of its performers. When considering any performance of Johann Sebastian Bach’s music, questions of authenticity arise. The instruments available during J.S. Bach’s time (1685-1750) were different from today’s improved, modern versions. These earlier instruments and their playing capabilities are one very important reason performance practices today differ from those of centuries long ago. Differing performance practices and how the formal analysis influences these varying interpretations will be explored in this paper. Specifically, this paper will demonstrate how J.S. Bach’s aria Wo wird in diesem Jammertale from Cantata BWV 114, Ach lieben Christen, seid getrost may be performed by the tenor, flute obbligato, and continuo for whom it was written. When beginning performance preparation and access to a genuine manuscript is unavailable, as is often the case, a performer must rely on a respected score edition. Musicians are very fortunate in J.S. Bach’s case to have the Bach-Gesellschaft. Bach-Gesellschaft was a German society founded in 1850 with the purpose of providing a complete critical edition of Bach’s works. The published editions are free from editorial additions.
