Jeho současnými členy jsou profesionální čeští a slovenští instrumentalisté – Veronika Jarůšková (1. housle), Marek Zweibel (2. housle), Peter Jarůšek (violoncello) a Jiří Kabát (viola). O tomto kvartetu jsem se dozvěděla ještě v době mých studií na konzervatoři, kdy jsem navštívila koncert Pavel Haas Quartet (dále jen PHQ) na festivalu Musica Holešov. Největší dojem ve mně zanechalo provedení smyčcového kvartetu Franze Schuberta „Smrt a dívka“. V následujících letech jsem měla možnost nastudovat právě tento zmiňovaný kvartet se svými spolužáky pod vedením violisty Pavla Nikla, bývalého člena PHQ. Tyto hodiny pro mě byly velkým přínosem nejenom v komorní hře, ale i v celkovém vnímání hudby a jejích detailů. Díky tomu jsem se rozhodla psát svou bakalářskou práci o tomto tělese, a zjistit tak více o fungování kvartetu a životě v něm. Dalším důvodem je skutečnost, že ačkoliv je Pavel Haas Quartet v současnosti nejvýraznějším českým komorním souborem, neexistuje ucelený dokument, který by ho představil veřejnosti. Koncertní činnost a základní biografii nalezneme na webových stránkách PHQ, ale mnozí by mohli postrádat životopisy jednotlivých členů. Recenze můžeme většinou dohledat v hudebním časopisu Harmonie, který je k dispozici v tištěné i internetové podobě. Doufám, že tato práce bude přínosem nejen mně, ale že dobře poslouží i dalším při hledání jinak těžce dostupných informací. 1 1 Vznik Pavel Haas Quartet Kvarteto vzniklo v roce 2002 a nese jméno českého skladatele, brněnského rodáka Pavla Haase (1899-1944).1 Toto pojmenování bylo více méně náhodné, jak tvrdí samotní členové tělesa. Impuls přišel při poslechu jednoho z jeho tří smyčcových kvartetů „Z Opičích hor“, který na ně udělal hluboký dojem. Když poté pátrali, zda má Haas ještě nějaké žijící příbuzné, zjistili, že v Brně žije jeho dcera Olga Smrčková. Při osobním setkání paní Olgu požádali o svolení k tomu, aby jejich kvarteto neslo jméno jejího otce a ona souhlasila. Za vznikem tohoto uskupení stojí Veronika Jarůšková, která rovněž usedla na pozici prvních houslí. Podnětem pro založení vlastního souboru byly pro Jarůškovou návštěvy koncertů Škampova kvarteta, ve kterém v té době hrál její manžel, violoncellista Peter Jarůšek. Díky tomu se více seznámila s kvartetní hrou, jeho repertoárem, zvukem a barvou, a proto se rozhodla založit svůj vlastní kvartet. Na založení souboru se dále podílel také violista Pavel Nikl, který zde působil až do roku 2016. Přestože již není stálým členem, i nadále s kvartetem spolupracuje například při interpretacích smyčcových kvintetů, a podobně. Po jeho odchodu na pozici violisty nastoupil Radim Sedmidubský (2016-2017) a v současné době plní funkci violisty Jiří Kabát. Na místě druhých houslí se vystřídalo více hráčů – Hana Roušarová, Kateřina Gemrotová Penková, Marie Fuxová a Eva Karová Krestová. Od roku 2012 je druhým houslistou Marek Zwiebel. Od vzniku tohoto kvarteta místo violoncellisty původně zastával Lukáš Polák, který je nyní koncertním mistrem violoncellové skupiny Janáčkova divadla v Brně a současným členem Škampova kvarteta. Vývojem okolností se ale nástroje v těchto dvou kvartetních tělesech prostřídaly a od roku 2004 je stálým členem violoncellista Peter Jarůšek. Dalším neodmyslitelným článkem souboru byl Milan Škampa (1928-2018). Legendární pedagog a violista Smetanova kvarteta přivítal členy PHQ na první hodině se slovy „Vítejte v nejkrásnějším vězení.“ 1 Haas byl jedním z nejvýznamnějších a nejtalentovanějších žáků Leoše Janáčka. Za zmínku také stojí, že byl bratrem Huga Haase, filmového herce a režiséra, kterému skládal hudbu k filmům. Závěr jeho života nebyl šťastný, neboť zahynul v koncentračním táboře v Osvětimi. 2 2 Milan Škampa Milan Škampa vyrůstal na Letné se svým bratrem, violoncellistou Mirko Škampou, otcem, který byl meteorologem a matkou Antonií, vyhledávanou houslovou pedagožkou. S její pomocí se věnoval hře na housle již od svých čtyř let. V roce 1941 se jej matka rozhodla dát na hodiny k violistovi Ladislavu Černému. Dále studoval u prof. Alexandra Plocka a prof. Františka Daniela na pražské Akademii, kde absolvoval roku 1951. V šestnácti letech se stal sólistou Českého rozhlasu, ale podmínky pro přípravu byly těžké, cvičil i za náletů v krytu ve studeném sklepě během druhé

Introduction to Focus 2020 by Joel Sachs The seed for this year’s Focus Festival was planted in December 2018 at a Juilliard doctoral recital by the Chilean violist Sergio Muñoz Leiva. I was especially struck by the sonata of Rebecca Clarke, an Anglo-American composer of the early 20th century who has been known largely by that one piece, now a staple of the viola repertory. Thinking about the challenges she faced in establishing her credibility as a professional composer, my mind went to a group of women in that period, roughly 1885 to 1930, who struggled to be accepted as professional composers rather than as professional performers writing as a secondary activity or as amateur composers.

Arguably, all composed works could be seen as fictions in the sense that they are creations of the imagination, but we rarely apply the term to music—with the possible exception of the Romantic tone poem or Mahler’s novel-symphonies. There are precedents in spectral and post-spectral music for the creation of “unreal” reflections of nature: consider Gérard Grisey’s description of instrumental synthesis sonorities as “mutants of contemporary music” or Philippe Hurel’s fascination with trompe l’oreille effects. Many of Fineberg’s spectral works of the 1990s and early 2000s (like those of his mentor Tristan Murail) explore correspondences and analogies with the non-musical world, reflecting aspects of subatomic physics (Broken Symmetries), Zen rock gardens (« Receuil de pierre et de sable »), and the chaotic mathematics of fluid dynamics (Streamlines). But in his sonic fictions, Fineberg is not interested in programmatic approaches or the musical modeling of nature. These works are not built around narrative, realism, or mimicry, but rather are indebted to modernist writing that explicitly draws attention to its own fictitiousness.
