  • Behre Dissertation Final with Etd Form Check
    BLENDING TWO DIFFERENT STYLE PERIODS AND NATIONAL STYLES IN THE SONATAS OF JEAN-MARIE LECLAIR: AN ORNAMENTATION STUDY AND TRANSCRIPTION OF JEAN-MARIE LECLAIR’S SONATA IN E MINOR, OP. 9 NO. 2 FOR MODERN OBOE by HOLLY LYN BEHRE (Under the Direction of Reid Messich) ABSTRACT Music from eighteenth century France represents one of the most fertile eras of repertoire development for solo treble instruments. However, it is also one of the most neglected eras by modern scholars and performers. One possible explanation for the absence of French Baroque music from the standard oboe repertoire is the lack of sonatas specifically written for the oboe. Composers in the late- Baroque period did not specifically write for the oboe. Rather, many solo sonatas were written for the violin or transverse flute with the understanding that they could be adapted for other instruments such as the oboe, recorder, and musette. Additionally, many of the sonatas written during the French Baroque that could be adapted to the oboe have yet to be published as modern editions. The violin and flute sonatas of French Baroque composer Jean-Marie Leclair are brilliant representations of the late-Baroque compositional style and would be adaptable to the modern oboe. Few composers of the late-Baroque period were writing in a hybrid style, which meant mixing the elegant, graceful, and reserved French style with the virtuosic and florid Italian style. Leclair equally blends the two national styles in his sonatas and concertos, showcasing a synthesis of the French Lully-Couperin tradition and the Italian Corelli-Vivaldi style.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame, 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again - beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School IN THE SHADOW OF GREATNESS: WOMEN COMPOSERS AND THEIR FLUTE SONATAS AT THE PRUSSIAN COURT, 1730-1771 A Thesis in Music by Sheila Joy Hornberger © 2020 Sheila Joy Hornberger Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts May 2020 ii The thesis of Sheila Joy Hornberger was reviewed and approved* by the following: Marica S. Tacconi Professor of Musicology Thesis Advisor Mark C. Ferraguto Associate Professor of Musicology R J David Frego Director of the School of Music iii ABSTRACT The Prussian Court at Berlin during the reign of Frederick the Great (1740-1786) was well known as an epicenter of musical activity during the Enlightenment; it attracted many famed composers such as Johann Sebastian Bach, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, and Johann Hasse. Composers Johann Joachim Quantz, CPE Bach, Johann Kirnberger, and Friedrich Wilhelm Marpurg wrote their famous treatises while working at this court, which helped to further knowledge of music and music theory. Frederick the Great was also widely known for his musicality, and he left over one hundred compositions for posterity. While historians have credited the flute-playing king for creating this musical renaissance in Prussia after the death of his philistinian father, the contributions of his musical sisters, Wilhelmine von Bayreuth and Anna Amalia of Prussia have been largely ignored. The presence of a third woman composer, Anna Bon di Venezia, also remains largely unrecognized in musicological circles. It should be of little surprise, however, that this newly enlightened Prussian court enabled the musical advancement of these talented women.
