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. Hoffmeister’s Viola Concerto in D Major has been published by G. Henle Verlag, Kunzelmann, Peters, Kalmus, International Music Company (New York), H.

    i Abstract (Re)Examining narratives: Personal style and the viola works of Quincy Porter (1897–1966) By Aaron Daniel Conitz The American composer Quincy Porter (1897–1966) is primarily remembered for his achievements and contributions as a member of the academy and, as a result, his music has largely been cast in the shadows. His compositional style is frequently described as “personal” or “highly individual,” particularly in reference to his works of chamber music, specifically those for string instruments. Porter was a fine violist who performed throughout his professional career in solo recitals and chamber ensembles; these experiences directly influenced his composition. Reexamining Porter’s narrative through the lens of his works for viola reveals a more nuanced perspective of the individual, one that more effectively conveys his personal style through the instrument he played. This body of repertoire forms a unique sector of his oeuvre: the works are valuable for the violist in their idiomatic qualities and compositional appeal, yet also display the composer’s voice at its finest. This document will present the works Porter originally wrote for viola (no transcriptions) as a valuable contribution to the repertory of 20th century American viola music. The works will be presented in chronological fashion and explore analytical aspects, stylistic concerns, historical context, and performance practice. The document begins with a biography to provide context for these works. ii Acknowledgements It is said that it takes a small village to raise a child. The essence and wisdom of this statement has certainly held true throughout the creation of this document; I would like to thank and recognize the small village of individuals that have helped me along this long, but rewarding journey.

We've had a name change. Since the inception of the Internationa.l Viola Research Society in Germany almost a deca.de ago, the American chap­ ter ha.s called 1 tselt Viola Research Society. It became apparent over they yearsthat ILmany violists and potentia.l members did not Join the society in the mistaken belie! that the thrust of the organization was 8cholarly and had little to do with other Qspecta of musical life, particularly perform­ ance. The ioclety baa tried to achleve~a healthy balance of musicoloE1cal and performance activities related to the viola, and I think we have been fairly Bucces8(ul in this as witnessed by our unique and musically luperlor viola congresses and informative newsletters. But the fact remained, that, 1n spite of a large membership (the largest of all the chapters in the internat1onB.l ore-anlzatlon), we were not reach1ng enough violists. Perhaps, we were reaching them, but they refrained from joining for the aforemention­ ed reason. With that in mind, the Board of Directors agreed that a name change wo~ld be in the best lnteresta of the society. Nothing else has changed; we are still the American chapter of the Internat10nale "t{i.ola Forschungsgesellschaft and will continue to do our best to make the viola prosper before the musical public and ofter as many services as possible to you, our members.
