With his Symphony No. 3, known as Eroica, composed in 1803, Beethoven radically altered the evolution of symphonic music. The work was inspired by Napoléon Bonaparte’s republican ideals while rejecting that ‘hero’s’ assumption of an imperial mantle. Beethoven broke precedent by employing his art “as a vehicle to convey beliefs,” expanding beyond compositional technique to add the “dimension of meaning and interpretation. All the more remarkable…the high priest of absolute music, effected this change.” (composer W.A. DeWitt) Beethoven, in a word, brought Romanticism to the concert hall, “replac[ing] the Enlightenment cult of reason with a cult of instinct, passion, and the creative genius as virtual demigod. The Romantics seized upon Beethoven’s emotionalism, his sense of the individual as hero.” (composer/writer Jan Swafford) The expression of this new sensibility took many forms, ranging from intensified expression within classical forms, exemplified by Felix Mendelssohn or Johannes Brahms, to the unbridled fervor of Piyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, the revolutionary virtuosity and structural innovations of Franz Liszt, the hallucinatory visions of Hector Berlioz, and the megalomania of Richard Wagner.

Important passages in orchestral works such as Strauss’ Don Quixote (1898) and Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring (1913) further advanced the perception of the bass clarinet as a solo instrument, and beginning in the 1970’s, composers such as Harry Sparnaay and Brian Ferneyhough began writing solo works for unaccompanied bass clarinet. In the twenty-first century, clarinet virtuoso and composer Eric Mandat experiments with the capabilities of the bass clarinet in his piece Chips Off the Ol’ Block, utilizing enormous registral leaps, techniques such as multiphonics and quarter-tone fingerings, as well as incorporating jazz-inspired rhythms into the music.

  • Czech Music Culture in London and Post-1989 Developments in Czechoslovakia at the Time
    International Journal of Arts and Commerce ISSN 1929-7106 www.ijac.org.uk CZECH MUSIC CULTURE IN LONDON AND POST-1989 DEVELOPMENTS IN CZECHOSLOVAKIA AT THE TIME Markéta Koutná Univerzita Palackého v Olomouci, Filozofická Fakulta, Katedra muzikologie Czech Republic E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: The study deals with Czech-London musical relations, particularly Czech music culture in London within the context of cultural, social and political change in 1989. An analysis of the opera, chamber music, and symphonic production of Czech music in London between 1984 and 1994 identifies how and whether the Czechoslovak Velvet Revolution affected the firm position that Czech music culture had held in the capital of the United Kingdom. Key words: Czech musical culture, London, emigration, composers, the Velvet Revolution, 1989 The musical relations between the Czechs and London represent an important current issue. As the capital of the United Kingdom, London naturally takes the lead within the British cultural scene. With its population, budget, and institutional capacities, it is one of the world’s major social and cultural centres, and thanks to the high interest of London-based institutions in Czech music, it is also one of the world's top producers of Czech music. The current research examines how, if at all, the events of November 1989 influenced the position of Czech musical culture in London and the relationship between Czech and London musicians. I became interested in this issue while researching data for my dissertation on Czech musical culture in London.1 Using the specific example of interpretations of Czech opera, chamber music and 1 The study is a part of the student grant project IGA_FF_2015_024 Influence of the Velvet Revolution on Czech Musical Culture in London and all the data used in the study draw on the author’s research for her dissertation Czech Musical Culture in London Between 1984 and 1994.

Marius Constant) Le tombeau de Couperin • La valse Maurice Ravel’s Valses nobles et sentimentales present a vivid mixture of atmospheric impressionism, intense expression and modernist wit, his fascination with the waltz further explored in La valse, a mysterious evocation of a vanished imperial epoch. Heard here in an orchestration by Marius Constant, Gaspard de la nuit is Ravel’s response to the other-worldly poems of Aloysius Bertrand, and the dance suite Le tombeau de Couperin is a tribute to friends who fell in the war of 1914-18 as well as a great 18th century musical forbear. ‘It is a delightful and assorted collection… presented in splendid performances by the Orchestre National de Lyon led by their music director, the venerable American conductor Leonard Slatkin.’ (Classical.net / Volume 1, 8.572887) Volume 1 of this series of Ravel’s orchestral music (8.572887 and NBD0030) has proved an immediate hit and has been warmly received by the press. Gramophone admired Leonard Slatkin’s ‘affinity with [Ravel’s] particular world of sound’, and of the Orchestre National de Lyon, stated that ‘it augurs well as a companion to the orchestra’s Debussy set 8.572888 Playing Time: 66:39 under Jun Märkl.’ The Blu-ray version provides a spectacular alternative to CD, ‘the orchestral colors… are beautifully realized by Slatkin and his forces, and well-preserved in either hi-res format’ (Audiophile Audition 7 47313 28887 8 5-star review).

  • VIRTUOSITY, EXPERIMENTATION, and INNOVATION in HORN WRITING from EARLY 18Th-CENTURY DRESDEN1
    112 HISTORIC BRASS SOCIETY JOURNAL VIRTUOSITY, EXPERIMENTATION, AND INNOVATION IN HORN WRITING FROM EARLY 18th-CENTURY DRESDEN1 Thomas Hiebert hough the opulence of the Dresden court orchestra in the early 18th century is well documented, much of the music composed for that illustrious group remains T unpublished and hence relatively unknown.2 One subset of this music in manuscript form is a substantial repertory which includes virtuosic parts for horn. The unusual treatment of the horn in these works is seen only sporadically in written music before the middle of the 18th century. Accordingly, the horn parts written for the Dresden horn players are unprecedented among other collections from the time. Much attention has been given to the early 18th-century Austro-Bohemian horn tradition. Austro-Bohemia produced many noteworthy players and Vienna was an important site in the development of horn construction, but surprisingly little horn music from this region survives from, or perhaps even existed in, the first half of the 18th century.3 Manuscript and employment records indicate that there were other centers where the horn was played at this time, for example: Darmstadt, Schwerin, Leipzig, London, Berlin, and various locations in Italy.4 Nowhere, however, was the volume of soloistic horn literature so large and the development of horn playing techniques and writing styles so significant for the future of the instrument as in Dresden. This is chronicled in the extant compositions.5 Works likely written for the Dresden homists span a wide
