Miss Howard studies viola with Allyson Fleck. program notes Franz Anton Hoffmeister was a highly prolific composer who brought the viola concerto to fame during the 18th century. Prior to this time, no pieces of significance had been written for the viola. The viola was viewed as an inferior instrument and violins were given priority. Hoffmeister's Viola Concerto in D Major gives violists a chance to demonstrate their virtuosity and technical proficiency. It is considered an integral part of viola repertoire and is regularly used in orchestral auctions and competitions across the world. biography annah Howard began playing the viola at age eleven and was a member of the Metropolitan Youth Symphony Orchestra, The Georgia Youth Symphony Orchestra and The Cobb County Honors Orchestra Hduring her middle and high school years.

Fu Jen Catholic University, 2001 M.M. University of Cincinnati, 2003 ABSTRACT Franz Anton Hoffmeister’s Viola Concerto in D Major (written prior to 1799) has become among the standard repertoire of viola concertos, due to the rise of viola virtuosos since the beginning of the twentieth century and the rarity of virtuosic viola concertos with stylistic forms from the Classical period. This piece has been included in several major orchestra auditions and competitions. While violists often lack hands-on experiences of the Classical repertoire, this document is to provide violists ways to perform this piece and pieces from the same period.

KOUSSEVITZKY, F. SKORZENY, L. WALZEL AND OTHERS DISSERTATION Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS by Harry P. Jacobson, M.M. Denton, Texas May, 1982 Jacobson, Harry P., The Edition of a Quartet for Solo Double Bass, Violin, Viola, and Violoncello by Franz Anton Hoffmeister, a Lecture Recital, Together with Three Recitals of Selected Works by J.S. Bach, S. Koussevitsky, N. Paganini, F. Skorzeny, L. Walzel, and Others. Doctor of Musical Arts (Double Bass Performance), May 1982, 68 pp.; score, 31 pp.; 11 illustrations; bibliography, 65 titles. A great amount of solo literature was written for the double bass in the latter half of the eighteenth century by composers working in and around Vienna. In addition to the many concertos written, chamber works in which the bass plays a solo role were also composed. These works of the Viennese contrabass school are an important source of solo literature for the double bass. A solo-quartet by Hoffmeister perviously unpublished was discovered by the author in the archives of the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Vienna. This work contributes to the modern solo repertoire for double bass, and has considerable musical merit. It is a well written work using. cleverly overlapped phrases, counterpoint and imitative writing, and effective juxtaposition of contrasting instrumentation.

  • Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Piano Quartet in G Minor, K. 478 in The
    Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Piano Quartet in G Minor, K. 478 In the mid-1780’s Mozart was a darling in Viennese social and musical circles. Viennese cultural life was fertile ground for the young composer. He was a darling in social and musical circles: popular, respected, and adored. Banking on this adulation, Franz Anton Hoffmeister, Mozart’s friend and publisher, offered Mozart a commission in 1785 for three piano quartets. Mozart, as always, needed money to support is lifestyle and fancy clothing; Hoffmeister saw a lucrative market: more music for the nobility and royalty to play in their salons. The populace was filled with musical amateurs. The genre was new to the scene: piano trios had been standard fare. The cello adding support to the lower base notes, the violin adding coloration in the higher registers. The piano was the star. A piano quartet was a novelty, a combination which would bear fruit in the 19th century. “ The G minor Piano Quartet can be cited as the single piece that led to the establishment of the piano quartet as a popular, viable genre of chamber music.” (A. Robert Johnson). Mozart seized upon the commission with enthusiasm. He liked the Viennese pianos, such as those by Stein and Roseberger with their light action, vocal clarity, and dynamic abilities. As a pianist, he had dazzled salon and concert audiences with his singing tone and dexterity: a new setting for this new instrument would be splendid. Quite naturally, perhaps thinking this could be a vehicle for his own keyboard prowess, Mozart wrote his first piano Quartet with virtuosity in mind, a feature which some have assessed resulted in this case to be a mini- concerto for the instrument.
