Dissertation FINAL 5 22
ABSTRACT Title: BEETHOVEN’S VIOLINISTS: THE INFLUENCE OF CLEMENT, VIOTTI, AND THE FRENCH SCHOOL ON BEETHOVEN’S VIOLIN COMPOSITIONS Jamie M Chimchirian, Doctor of Musical Arts, 2016 Dissertation directed by: Dr. James Stern Department of Music Over the course of his career, Ludwig van Beethoven (1770–1827) admired and befriended many violin virtuosos. In addition to being renowned performers, many of these virtuosos were prolific composers in their own right. Through their own compositions, interpretive style and new technical contributions, they inspired some of Beethoven’s most beloved violin works. This dissertation places a selection of Beethoven’s violin compositions in historical and stylistic context through an examination of related compositions by Giovanni Battista Viotti (1755–1824), Pierre Rode (1774–1830) and Franz Clement (1780–1842). The works of these violin virtuosos have been presented along with those of Beethoven in a three-part recital series designed to reveal the compositional, technical and artistic influences of each virtuoso. Viotti’s Violin Concerto No. 2 in E major and Rode’s Violin Concerto No. 10 in B minor serve as examples from the French violin concerto genre, and demonstrate compositional and stylistic idioms that affected Beethoven’s own compositions. Through their official dedications, Beethoven’s last two violin sonatas, the Op. 47, or Kreutzer, in A major, dedicated to Rodolphe Kreutzer, and Op. 96 in G major, dedicated to Pierre Rode, show the composer’s reverence for these great artistic personalities. Beethoven originally dedicated his Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 61, to Franz Clement. This work displays striking similarities to Clement’s own Violin Concerto in D major, which suggests that the two men had a close working relationship and great respect for one another. -

Pierre Baillot Et La Culture Musicale Polonaise. Rencontres – Résonnances – Rayonnement
L’homme-violon : Pierre Baillot (1771-1842). Janvier 2015 Pierre Baillot et la culture musicale polonaise. Rencontres – Résonnances – Rayonnement Renata SUCHOWIEJKO La question de la réception de l’œuvre de Baillot en Pologne au XIXe siècle n’a encore fait l’objet que de rares recherches. En l’absence d’un travail sur les sources, le savoir dans ce domaine demeure fragmentaire. L’état des connaissances existant dessine, cependant, une problématique intéressante et des perspectives d’étude prometteuses. Cette conférence se propose de préciser les possibilités d’une réflexion, de poser un certain nombre de questions clés et de définir des directions de recherche. L’analyse de la réception de Baillot en Pologne exige que l’on adopte un point de vue général susceptible de rendre compte de différents aspects de son influence sur son milieu socioculturel. Seule une large perspective permettra de mettre au jour un ensemble de questions importantes éclairant l’histoire du violon au XIXe siècle : exécution, répertoire, relations entre les violonistes et les compositeurs, influences stylistiques, transmission culturelle et didactique du violon. L’historiographie polonaise présente toujours le personnage de Pierre Baillot associé à ses deux collègues éminents, Pierre Rode et Rodolphe Kreutzer, dans le contexte de l’école française de violon1. Elle souligne ses qualités de pédagogues au détriment de celles de compositeur et virtuose.

The French School of Violin Playing Between Revolution and Reaction: a Comparison of the Treatises of 1803 and 1834 by Pierre Baillot
Nineteenth-Century Music Review, page 1 of 30 © Cambridge University Press 2020 doi:10.1017/S147940981900034X The French School of Violin Playing between Revolution and Reaction: A Comparison of the Treatises of 1803 and 1834 by Pierre Baillot Douglas Macnicol The Australian National University [email protected] Pierre Baillot (1771–1842) was a central figure in the development of the early nineteenth-century French School of violin playing. This school was itself the source of the twentieth-century Russian and American schools, and all the great players of the modern era can trace their lineage back to Baillot and his colleagues. The French School was the first to systematize violin teaching within an institutional framework with normative aspirations. Its history is bound up with that of the Paris Conservatoire, established in 1795. Work by French scholars of the Conservatoire and its teaching has tended to assert a continuity of ideals and aesthetics across time, even an essential Frenchness, and work by English-language scholars has been more concerned with the influence of the School on developments in playing styles and composition than on the evolution of attitudes to music teaching. This analysis of the language of the two founding pedagogical texts reveals a contested cultural landscape, and explores how a revolutionary institution with lofty principles could be overtaken by cultural change in a few short decades. It finishes by questioning the tradi- tional elision of the French and Franco-Belgian schools, and suggests that Brussels, rather than constituting a mere branch of the Paris school, rescued it from premature irrelevance. -
Training Creative Violinists: Taking a Page from Baillot's L'art Du Violon
Training Creative Violinists: Taking a Page from Baillot’s L’Art Du Violon Anna McMichael A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts Sydney Conservatorium of Music, University of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia 2018 1 STATEMENT OF ORIGINALITY ‘I hereby declare that this submission is my own work and to the best of my knowledge it contains no materials previously published or written by another person, or substantial proportions of material which have been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music or any other educational institution, except where due acknowledgement is made in the thesis. Any contribution made to the research by others, with whom I have worked at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music or elsewhere, is explicitly acknowledged in the thesis.

Date ……… 3 May, 2018 2 Abstract This thesis analyses Pierre Marie Franҫois de Sales Baillot’s L’Art du Violon (1834). My argument is that the ideas in his treatise, although written in the mid-nineteenth century, are again relevant in training tertiary violin students to become cultured, creative and adaptable musicians. Classical musicians today face considerable challenges in attracting and inspiring their audiences. While maintaining classical music traditions, musicians and arts organisations therefore are experimenting with new forms of delivery: broader themes and genres, multi-media performances, and new technologies. Performers today must draw upon considerable knowledge and skills in order to appeal to audiences, whether in concert halls or in listening to recorded music. -
The Franco-Belgian Violin School: Pedagogy, Principles, and Comparison with the German and Russian Violin Schools, from the Eighteenth Through Twentieth Centuries
The Franco-Belgian Violin School: Pedagogy, Principles, and Comparison with the German and Russian Violin Schools, from the Eighteenth through Twentieth Centuries A document submitted to The Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS in the Performance Studies Division of the College-Conservatory of Music Violin 2019 by Gyu Hyun Han B.A., Korean National University of Arts, Korea, 2005 M.M., Korean National University of Arts, Korea, 2007 Committee Chair: Kurt Sassmannshaus, MM Abstract The Franco-Belgian violin school, famed for its elegance, detailed tone, polished sound, and variety of bow strokes, dominated violin performance at the turn of the twentieth century. Yet despite this popularity, and the continuing influence of the school as reflected in the standard violin repertoire, many violinists today do not know what constitutes the Franco-Belgian violin style. Partly, this is due to a lack of contextual information; while many scholars have written about the history of the violin and violin playing techniques, there is currently very little literature comparing the principles and performance characters of specific violin schools. This study therefore introduces the principles and techniques of the Franco-Belgian violin school, presented in comparison with those of the German and Russian violin schools; these features are catalogued and demonstrated both through examinations of each school’s treatises and analyses of video recordings by well-known violinists from each school. ii iii Table of Contents Abstract ii List of Tables vi List if Figures vi List of Musical Examples vii I. -
Virtuosity, the Violin, the Devil ... What Really Made Paganini "Demonic"?
Virtuosity, the Violin, the Devil ... What Really Made Paganini "Demonic"? Maiko Kawabata Introduction Our inherited image of Nicolo Paganini as a "demonic" violinist-a Gothic figure exemplifying Romanticism and epitomizing instrumental virtuos ity-has never been analyzed in depth. What really made him "demonic"? According to the most popular legend, Paganini, like Faust, made a pact with Satan to acquire magical powers-enabling him to create effects on the violin beyond the reach of anyone else. Others thought he was possessed by the devil and coaxed the violin to produce what they took to be the devil's music. Still others, encouraged by the spectacle of him literally "lashing" the violin with his bow, considered him "demonic" in the Gothic sense of being corrupt and perverted, a licentious criminal in the tradition of the Marquis de Sade and Byron's hero-villains. Faust, magician, Satan, sadistic villain: the faces of Paganini were interrelated but not equivalent. This article aims to sharpen definitions of Paganini's "demonism" by examining contemporary reviews, caricatures, and audience reactions in their cultural context. By surveying the diverse monikers by which Paganini was known ("Zamiel;' "Mephistopheles," etc.), by tracing their origins, and by exploring their inherent nuances, I reveal that the nicknames often carried specific subtexts that would have been meaningful to his audiences-whether by reference to literature, theater, opera, or instrumental music. It was in the context of Romanticism, as shaped by Goethe, Byron, and others, that Paganini's "demonic" image proliferated, especially due to the popularity of Faust and rumors of the violinist's deviant behavior. -
