  • Vienna, 30Th January, 18062 . . . Every Monday, Which Has Been My Usual
    1807 1375. CONSTANZE MOZART TO HER SON CARL THOMAS,1 MILAN EXCERPT: Vienna, 30th January, 18062 . Every Monday, which has been my usual society day for a couple of years now, we have beautiful music here at home, thanks to the foreign virtuosos; but those who particularly distinguish themselves are the two Pixis3 brothers from Mannheim, [5] the elder on the violin, a pupil of Vioti,4 and the younger on the pianoforte. In particular Herr Seidler5 from Berlin, a quite outstanding violinist who is now based in Paris and, they say, is in no way inferior to the famous Rode.6 You should just hear him playing your father’s quartets! – What would I give if you could join us to hear them. [10] These are fine people, all have already given public concerts, they have already been here for the whole winter, and although they are here to give concerts, for which most artists, as you know, make themselves scarce, they nevertheless play here in my home every Monday, and in fact compete with each other and leave me the winner, as you can easily imagine. Everyone wants a chance to perform, and this way I hear them all, [15] and that very frequently; they all send their heartiest greetings. Your brother7 is now going to Salieri8 and to Humel.9 Both have a great deal of affection and friendship for him, my only fear is that he does not make the use of them that he should, for is not always good if one has too much help because one relies on it too much, and when one no longer has any, one cannot help oneself, [20] and this is really my complaint.

  • The Pedagogical Legacy of Johann Nepomuk Hummel
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: THE PEDAGOGICAL LEGACY OF JOHANN NEPOMUK HUMMEL. Jarl Olaf Hulbert, Doctor of Philosophy, 2006 Directed By: Professor Shelley G. Davis School of Music, Division of Musicology & Ethnomusicology Johann Nepomuk Hummel (1778-1837), a student of Mozart and Haydn, and colleague of Beethoven, made a spectacular ascent from child-prodigy to pianist- superstar. A composer with considerable output, he garnered enormous recognition as piano virtuoso and teacher. Acclaimed for his dazzling, beautifully clean, and elegant legato playing, his superb pedagogical skills made him a much sought after and highly paid teacher. This dissertation examines Hummel’s eminent role as piano pedagogue reassessing his legacy. Furthering previous research (e.g. Karl Benyovszky, Marion Barnum, Joel Sachs) with newly consulted archival material, this study focuses on the impact of Hummel on his students. Part One deals with Hummel’s biography and his seminal piano treatise, Ausführliche theoretisch-practische Anweisung zum Piano- Forte-Spiel, vom ersten Elementar-Unterrichte an, bis zur vollkommensten Ausbildung, 1828 (published in German, English, French, and Italian). Part Two discusses Hummel, the pedagogue; the impact on his star-students, notably Adolph Henselt, Ferdinand Hiller, and Sigismond Thalberg; his influence on musicians such as Chopin and Mendelssohn; and the spreading of his method throughout Europe and the US. Part Three deals with the precipitous decline of Hummel’s reputation, particularly after severe attacks by Robert Schumann. His recent resurgence as a musician of note is exemplified in a case study of the changes in the appreciation of the Septet in D Minor, one of Hummel’s most celebrated compositions.

    WENZEL HEINRICH VEIT: COMPLETE STRING QUARTETS VOLUME ONE: QUARTETS NOS. 1 AND 2 by Markéta Kabelková and Aleš Březina Te first half of the nineteenth century saw a change from old to new forms of musical life. Performances accessible to the general public were increasingly promoted, and from the third quarter of the eighteenth century public concerts and publicly accessible musical theatres began to be developed. A lively and diverse cultural environment tends to emerge in places that are not only strong economically – that is, have a solid, educated middle class – but also have an existing cultural tradition. Although Prague was at that time the capital of the Czech kingdom and as such part of the Hapsburg monarchy, no ruler resided within the city, which therefore lacked the cultural life associated with a royal court. It was nonetheless an important European musical centre – the most important in Bohemia – and a popular stop for musicians on their concert tours. In 1810 the ‘Jednota pro zvelebení hudby v Čechách’ (‘Association for the Promotion of Music in Bohemia’) was established there and, only one year later, the Prague Conservatoire was founded, becoming the first professional training institution for musicians in central Europe. New forms of social life influenced demand for certain types of music, particularly smaller-scale compositions (songs, piano pieces and choruses). Larger instrumental compositions– such as symphonies, concertos and chamber music (which at that time was not intended for public concerts but to be played for smaller audiences) – were far less popular in Bohemia during the first half of the nineteenth century.

  • 1 the (50) Variations (Not by Beethoven) on a Theme by Diabelli – Monstrosity Or Monument? Professor Peter J. Roennfeldt
    The (50) Variations (not by Beethoven) on a Theme by Diabelli – Monstrosity or Monument? Professor Peter J. Roennfeldt, Queensland Conservatorium Griffith University Diabelli’s Vaterländischer Künstlerverein (Patriotic Artists’ Association) project resulted in a two volume publication that appeared in 1823-1824. The more famous Part One comprises Beethoven’s final piano work Opus 120, but its companion volume has received relatively little artistic or scholarly attention. As an enterprising pedagogue, composer and publisher, Diabelli brought together a virtual kaleidoscope of composers then active in Vienna and the Austrian Imperial states. While not exactly without precedent or sequel, this unusual collective work could be described as a musical monstrosity. The 50 variations based on Diabelli’s Waltz in C were published purely in alphabetical order, thus exhibiting no overriding structural logic other than the implicit unity that his fecund theme provides. Further investigation reveals a work containing many points of interest, and one that invites various pedagogical and performance approaches. It is also a starting point for investigation into the careers and contributions of an extraordinarily diverse composers’ collective, including a host of lesser-known musicians that modern pianists and audiences might enjoy exploring further. A virtual ‘who’s who’ of Austrian music c.1820, Diabelli’s unusual conception and his extensive network of colleagues and acquaintances resulted in the creation of what is indeed a rare and valuable musical monument. Anton Diabelli (1781-1858) is best known today for three types of output: as a composer of pedagogical pieces for piano; as Schubert’s first publisher; and most notably as the instigator of the project based on his epigrammatic waltz theme that resulted in Beethoven’s final piano work.

  • Franz Liszt Reproduction from the Original Oil Painting, 1837–39 Klassik Stiftung Weimar, Acc
    CHECKLIST Liszt in Paris: Enduring Encounters August 29 through November 16, 2008 Ary Scheffer (1795–1858) Franz Liszt Reproduction from the original oil painting, 1837–39 Klassik Stiftung Weimar, acc. no. LGE/01351 Franz Liszt (1811–1886) Seven Brilliant Variations, for the Piano Forte, to a Theme of Rossini, op. 2 London: T. Boosey & Co., [1825?] First English edition PMC 2036; The Mary Flagler Cary Music Collection Variations on preexisting themes—particularly those taken from operas—were popular during the nineteenth century and frequently cultivated by virtuoso performer-composers. These instrumental works were conceived as a means of displaying a performer’s (rather than a composer’s) skill, brilliance, artistry, and technical prowess. The adolescent Liszt based these variations on the theme “Ah come nascondere la fiamma,” from Rossini’s 1819 opera Ermione. Years later Liszt would compose a virtuosic piece based on the overture to Rossini’s Guillaume Tell. [Playbill for a concert at the Theatre Royal, Covent Garden, England, 2 June 1827] [London: W. Rey, 1827] James Fuld Collection After arriving in Paris in 1823, Liszt and his father made three visits to England (1824, 1825, and 1827). This playbill documents Liszt’s appearance at Covent Garden on 2 June 1827. The featured artist at the end of the first part, Master Liszt performed a fantasia. Such works were of an improvisatory character, introducing familiar tunes that served as themes to be varied and embellished. In this case, Liszt chose the popular melody Rule Britannia. For many years the young virtuoso had already proven most adept at improvising on tunes suggested to him on the spot.

  • Sketch for a Portrait of Kalkbrenner and Chopin
    Interdisciplinary Studies in Musicology 9,2011 © Department o f Musicology, Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznań, Poland DANUTA JASIŃSKA (Poznań) Sketch for a portrait of Kalkbrenner and Chopin ABSTRACT: In this article, the author sketches a portrait of Kalkbrenner and Chopin against the background of musical practice during the 1830s. On the basis of sources, including Chopin’s correspondence and the opinions of his contemporaries and of Chopin scholars, an attempt is made to distinguish characteristic features of the two composers in their mutual relations. Their contacts are outlined, as well as their artis­ tic activities, with particular emphasis on Chopin’s first concert in Paris and the role of pianistic virtuosity linked with the style brillant. Attention is drawn to the properties of the Pleyel piano which Kalkbrenner and Chopin both preferred and to the differing playing aesthetics and artistic images of the two composer-virtuosos. Chosen for the purposes of stylistic comparison are their methods of piano playing, with the accent on the schematic nature of Kalkbrenner’s “finger techniQue”, whilst most crucial for Chopin was to bring out the beautiful Quality of the sound. In the closing remarks, it is stated that the two musicians, in their pianistic, compositional and pedagogic activi­ ties, represented the distinct antithesis of one another and two different schools. Prominent in the portrait of Kalkbrenner are distinct connections with the convention of the style brillant, whilst the portrait of Chopin, who broke through those conven­ tions, is marked by features more profound and individualised. KEYWORDS: Friedrich Kalkbrenner, Fryderyk Chopin, piano, virtuosity, style brillant, variations, piano concerto, piano playing method Friedrich Kalkbrenner is named more than once in the Chopin lit­ erature, primarily on account of the two composer-virtuosos’ contacts in Paris.
