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.

The Story of the Symphony, Part 2: Beethoven and His Legacy
KS4/5KS5 The story of the symphony, part 2: Beethoven and his legacy Jonathan James by Jonathan James is a freelance music educator and conductor who presents and leads workshops for orchestras and INTRODUCTION venues across the UK. In the second of this three-part resource (for part one, see Music Teacher, February 2019), we will be joining the story of the symphony at its heyday in the 19th century, where the form expanded and evolved at dizzying speed. By the end of the century, symphony orchestras were up to ten times the size of their 18th-century predecessors, playing works of double the length to much larger, more discerning audiences. As before, the aim of this resource is to use the story of the symphony to give a context for analysing instrumental writing in the wider listening questions at GCSE and beyond. It gives a historical framework for set works and outlines the creative principles of key composers, questioning the choices they made as they crafted their symphonies and, in so doing, giving inspiration for the students’ own compositional thinking. The resources should broaden the vocabulary and analytical thinking required for the higher-scoring evaluative answers in the listening papers in Key Stages 4 and 5. A Spotify playlist accompanies each resource, to use for musical illustrations and listening exercises. This second part takes us from the symphonic revolutions of Beethoven in the early 1800s through the diverse response to that impressive legacy by some of the main symphonists of the Romantic era, including Berlioz, Brahms, Tchaikovsky and Dvorˇák.

Kireilis Denton, Texas August, 1964 PREFACE It is the purpose of this thesis to present a study of music written for the clarinet during the period from 1600 to 1800. The first part is a history of the clarinet showing the stages of development of the instrument from its early predecessors to its present form, Part one also explains the acoustics of the clarinet and its actual invention. The second part deals with composers and their music for the clarinet. No attempt is made to include all music written for the instrument during the prescribed period; rather# the writerss intention is to include chiefly those works by composers whose music has proven to be outstanding in clarinet literature or interesting historically. The order in which the works themselves are taken up is chronological# by composers# with comment on their styles as to form, harmonic content, melodic content# rhythmic content, problems in phrasing, or any other general technical problem. All of these elements are illustrated with examples taken from the music, iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page LIST OFILLUSTRATIONS.*.......................... V Chapter I.

Music in the Classical Era (Mus 7754)
MUSIC IN THE CLASSICAL ERA (MUS 7754) LOUISIANA STATE UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF MUSIC & DRAMATIC ARTS FALL 2016 instructor Dr. Blake Howe ([email protected]) M&DA 274 meetings Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, 9:30–10:20 M&DA 221 office hours Fridays, 8:30–9:30, or by appointment prerequisite Students must have passed either the Music History Diagnostic Exam or MUS 3710. Howe / MUS 7754 Syllabus / 2 GENERAL INFORMATION COURSE OBJECTIVES This course pursues the diversity of musical life in the eighteenth century, examining the styles, genres, forms, and performance practices that have retrospectively been labeled “Classical.” We consider the epicenter of this era to be the mid eighteenth century (1720–60), with the early eighteenth century as its most logical antecedent, and the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century as its profound consequent. Our focus is on the interaction of French, Italian, and Viennese musical traditions, but our journey will also include detours to Spain and England. Among the core themes of our history are • the conflict between, and occasional synthesis of, French and Italian styles (or, rather, what those styles came to symbolize) • the increasing independence of instrumental music (symphony, keyboard and accompanied sonata, concerto) and its incorporation of galant and empfindsam styles • the expansion and dramatization of binary forms, eventually resulting in what will later be termed “sonata form” • signs of wit, subjectivity, and the sublime in music of the “First Viennese Modernism” (Haydn, Mozart, early Beethoven). We will seek new critical and analytical readings of well-known composers from this period (Beethoven, Gluck, Haydn, Mozart, Pergolesi, Scarlatti) and introduce ourselves to the music of some lesser-known figures (Alberti, Boccherini, Bologne, Cherubini, Dussek, Galuppi, Gossec, Hasse, Hiller, Hopkinson, Jommelli, Piccinni, Rousseau, Sammartini, Schobert, Soler, Stamitz, Vanhal, and Vinci, plus at least two of J.
