  • EPTA Conference Germany 2020 Beethoven As
    EPTA Conference Germany 2020 Beethoven as student and teacher Nils Franke Dean of Higher Education, University Centre Colchester, UK [email protected] 1. Beethoven as keyboard student Until just after the beginning of the 21st century, musicological studies of Beethoven as a student have focused predominantly on two elements: the first is the likely influence that Beethoven’s father Johann, himself a professional musician, may have had on his son’s artistic development. The second component was concerned with Christian Gottlob Neefe’s teaching of the young Beethoven, for which on very few surviving sources remain. The significance of young Beethoven’s parental home tended to focus on his father’s occupation as a professional singer, and, given the practices at the time, private music tutor. In contrast, Neefe’s output as a court musician was more tangible in its relevance to Beethoven’s subsequent achievements by ranging from conducting to playing the organ and composition. What was shared by both scenarios was a lack of academically credible sources that offered sufficient information for a more detailed picture of Beethoven’s initial studies to emerge. This changed in 2006 when the diaries of Gottfried Fischer (1780-1864) became available in an annotated scholarly edition, a master baker in Bonn whose family owned the house in which Beethoven’s parents rented an apartment. Fischer compiled his diaries between 1837 and 1857, but drew heavily on observations written down by his sister Cäcilie (1762-1845), who was eighteen years his senior and would thus have been in a position to witness some of the musical activities that formed part of the lives of the Beethoven family in the late 1770s and early 1780s.

The question, however, remains as to what extent this report- ed scepticism truly reflects people’s opinions and feelings about Europe. We all consider it normal to cross borders within Europe, often while using the same money, as well as to take part in exchange programmes, invest in enterprises across Europe and appeal to European institutions if national regulations, for example, do not meet our expectations.

  • Beethoven's Expanding Orchestral Horizons, 1795-1800 Theodore Albrecht Haydn's Concert in the Kleiner Redoutensaal, December
    Beethoven’s Expanding Orchestral Horizons, 1795-1800 Theodore Albrecht Once Beethoven had tasted his initial success before the Viennese Tonkünstler-Societät’s public (as opposed to salon concerts of the nobility) on March 29-30, 1795, he began planning an Akademie of his own. For a typical potpourri program, he would need a new concerto, a symphony, plus works by other composers, and at least one or two vocal works. Even though he would need to get further use from his Piano Concerto in B-flat, he already had a Concerto in C Major in the works. He was also sketching a Symphony, likewise in C major. He worked on it, periodically, through 1795 and 1796, but it never progressed very far.1 Haydn’s Concert in the Kleiner Redoutensaal, December 18, 1795 Beethoven’s next public appearance playing his Concerto in B-flat was at a concert given by Joseph Haydn, primarily to introduce three of the six Symphonies (recently composed in London) to Viennese audiences on December 18, 1795. The concert took place in the Kleiner Redoutensaal, the smaller of the Imperial Ballrooms, often used for chamber music performances. The identity of the orchestra was not specified,2 but given the location---that is, not in the Burgtheater itself---and Griesinger’s mention that the Kärntnertor Theater’s orchestra under Wranitzky had performed Haydn symphonies,3 it is possible that this ensemble was in fact the orchestra employed. If so, Beethoven would probably again have had a positive experience in making music with Wranitzky. 1Beethoven did not use bound sketchbooks before the so-called “Grasnick 1 Sketchbook,” begun in the middle of 1798.

The composer spent the first two decades of his life here, became a professional musician in this city and absorbed here the impulses and ideas of the Enlightenment that shaped his later creative output, too. To this extent, it is logical that Bonn is preparing to celebrate Beethoven with a kind of “Cultural Capital Year” to mark his 250th birthday. In this special year, opportunities have been cre- ated in abundance to engage with the “great mogul,” as Haydn called him. There is still more to be discovered in his music, as in his life, too. In this sense, a symposium that approaches the phenomenon of Beethoven from the music-medicine perspective represents an additional and necessary enrichment of the anni- versary year. When I began my tenure as artistic director of the Beethoven- feste Bonn in 2014, I set out to bring forth something that was always new, special and interdisciplinary.

    DETERMINING THE AUTHENTICITY OF THE CONCERTO FOR TWO HORNS, WoO. 19, ATTRIBUTED TO FERDINAND RIES Amy D. Laursen, B.M.E., M.M. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS December 2015 APPROVED: William Scharnberg, Major Professor Kris Chesky, Related Field Professor Brian Bowman, Committee Member Benjamin Brand, Director of Graduate Studies, College of Music James Scott, Dean of the College of Music Costas Tsatsoulis, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Laursen, Amy D. Determining the Authenticity of the Concerto for Two Horns, WoO. 19, Attributed to Ferdinand Ries. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), December 2015, 100 pp., 1 table, 27 figures, 57 musical examples, references, 108 titles. Ferdinand Ries is credited as the composer of the Concerto for Two Horns, WoO. 19 preserved in the Berlin State Library. Dated 1811, ostensibly Ries wrote it in the same year as his Horn Sonata, Op. 34, yet the writing for the horns in the Concerto is significantly more demanding. Furthermore, Ries added to the mystery by not claiming the Concerto in his personal catalog of works or mentioning it in any surviving correspondence. The purpose of this dissertation is to study the authorship of the Concerto for Two Horns and offer possible explanations for the variance in horn writing. Biographical information of Ries is given followed by a stylistic analysis of Ries’s known works. A stylistic analysis of the Concerto for Two Horns, WoO. 19 is offered, including a handwriting comparison between the Concerto for Two Horns and Ries’s Horn Sonata. Finally, possible explanations are proposed that rationalize the variance in horn writing between the Concerto for Two Horns, WoO.

  • Beethoven and Russia
    Min-Ad: Israel Studies in Musicology Online, Vol. 17, 2020 Arkady Klimovitsky – Beethoven and Russia Beethoven and Russia ARKADY KLIMOVITSKY St. Petersburg State Conservatory Russian Institute of Art History Abstract: The article considers various connections of Beethoven’s contacts with Russian culture. First, it traces Beethoven’s ties with Russian aristocrats living in Vienna and working in the Russian Mission, who were generous patrons of the arts in general, and famous musicians in particular, and who commissioned musical compositions from Beethoven. Among these were Count Georg & Countess Anna Margarete Browne, Baron Philipp Adamovich Klüpfel, and Count Andrei Kirillovich Razumovsky. The article also discusses Beethoven’s use of Russian folk songs in compositions dedicated to these patrons. Keywords: Beethoven, Russian folk songs, patronage, Count Andrei Razumovsky, Baron Philipp Klüpfel, Count Georg & Countess Anna Margarete Browne. Beethoven was the only master of the Viennese classic school whose creative work remained outside the scope of the eighteenth-century St. Petersburg music lovers.1 His works did not belong to the concert repertoire or domestic music-making, nor was his name mentioned in memoirs or private correspondences. The first publication of his music took place on the eve of the nineteenth century. On 10 May 1799, the Saint-Petersburg News (Sankt-Peterburgskie vedomosti, 1799, no. 37) notified its readers of the publication of Beethoven’s Grand Trio pour le forte-piano, violon ou clarinette et basse, Op. XI (cost 3 rubles)2—a year after its composition and publication in Vienna. It was in Vienna that the connoisseurs from St. Petersburg had their first contacts with Beethoven.
