  • Analysis and Performance Problems of Vítězslava Kaprálová’S
    ANALYSIS AND PERFORMANCE PROBLEMS OF VÍTĚZSLAVA KAPRÁLOVÁ’S STRING QUARTET, OP. 8 (1935-1936) by MARTA BLALOCK (Under the direction of Clint Taylor) ABSTRACT Vítězslava Kaprálová might have been forgotten due to her untimely death during the World War II, however her music has resurfaced in the past decades and her name is well known in the Czech Republic. With no published edition of Kaprálová’s String Quartet, currently available instrumental parts and recordings vary from the original autograph. This study focuses on historical and theoretical analysis of the work, editorial suggestions, and performance issues. The original autograph is compared to two copyist manuscripts of individual parts as well as two available sound recordings.

  • 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.
