Tacconi Professor of Musicology Thesis Advisor Mark C. Ferraguto Associate Professor of Musicology R J David Frego Director of the School of Music iii ABSTRACT The Prussian Court at Berlin during the reign of Frederick the Great (1740-1786) was well known as an epicenter of musical activity during the Enlightenment; it attracted many famed composers such as Johann Sebastian Bach, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, and Johann Hasse. Composers Johann Joachim Quantz, CPE Bach, Johann Kirnberger, and Friedrich Wilhelm Marpurg wrote their famous treatises while working at this court, which helped to further knowledge of music and music theory. Frederick the Great was also widely known for his musicality, and he left over one hundred compositions for posterity. While historians have credited the flute-playing king for creating this musical renaissance in Prussia after the death of his philistinian father, the contributions of his musical sisters, Wilhelmine von Bayreuth and Anna Amalia of Prussia have been largely ignored. The presence of a third woman composer, Anna Bon di Venezia, also remains largely unrecognized in musicological circles. It should be of little surprise, however, that this newly enlightened Prussian court enabled the musical advancement of these talented women. Wilhelmine and Anna Amalia developed strong familial bonds with Frederick due to their shared interests and abilities in music, and both sisters became devout patronesses of music in their own rights. It is through Wilhelmine’s auspices that the sixteen-year old Anna Bon appeared at Bayreuth in the highly respected position of Virtuosa di Camera, after being trained in Venice’s famed Ospedale della Pietà. In my thesis, I will review significant flute sonatas by each of these women with a detailed musical analysis, in order to call attention to their works while underlining their importance in the repertoire. I will also discuss circumstances at the Prussian court that allowed for the presence of three women of exceptional musical talent and discuss their exclusion from the canon. Finally, I will discuss why it would better serve the music community to incorporate iv women composers, and especially early women composers back into the Western Music canon, and how this might be achieved going forward. v TABLE OF CONTENTS List of Figures .......................................................................................................................... vi Acknowledgements .................................................................................................................. vii Introduction .............................................................................................................................. 1 Chapter 1 The State of Music in Prussia ................................................................................. 5 Chapter 2 Margravine Wilhelmine von Bayreuth ................................................................... 17 Chapter 3 Anna Amalia, Princess of Prussia .......................................................................... 30 Chapter 4 Anna Bon di Venezia ............................................................................................. 42 Conclusion ............................................................................................................................... 56 vi List of Figures 1.1 Flute Concert at Sanssouci, by Adolph Menzel (1852) ...................................................... 14 2.1 Manuscript, Flute Sonata in A minor, Wilhelmine von Bayreuth ...................................... 24 2.2 Opening, first movement, Flute Sonata in A minor ............................................................ 26 2.3 Opening, second movement, Flute Sonata in A minor ....................................................... 27 2.4 Opening, third movement, Flute Sonata in A minor .......................................................... 28 3.1 Opening, first movement, Flute Sonata in F major, Anna Amalia of Prussia ................... 39 3.2 Opening, second movement, Flute Sonata in F major ....................................................... 40 3.3 Opening, third movement, Flute Sonata in F major .......................................................... 41 4.1 Manuscript cover, Flute Sonata IV in D major, Anna Bon di Venezia .............................. 51 4.2 Opening, first movement, Flute Sonata IV in D major ...................................................... 52 4.3 Opening, second movement, Flute Sonata IV in D major .................................................. 53 4.4 Opening, third movement, Flute Sonata IV in D major ..................................................... 54 vii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Dedicated to my husband Frank DuMont, who has always been my biggest fan and advocate, my parents David and Nancy, who never told me there was anything I couldn’t do, my colleague, Michael Divino, for always being supportive and commiserating with me, and to my advisors Dr. Tacconi and Dr. Ferraguto, for their valuable time, generous insight, and infinite patience. 1 Introduction Frederick the Great of Prussia (1712-1786) has long been considered the “musical king”; his court at Berlin offered many opportunities for composers and performers seeking a royal appointment. A flute player, Frederick employed Johann Joachim Quantz, Carl Phillip Emanuel Bach, Carl Heinrich Graun, and Franz Benda, all of whom contributed greatly to the flute repertoire. Frederick himself composed 121 flute sonatas, four flute concerti, four books of solfeggio, several marches, arias, and cantatas, as well as four symphonies.1 Also during this time, Quantz published his famous treatise on the flute and musical taste. Clearly, Frederick’s court was a hotbed of musical culture. Thus, it should be unsurprising that in this fertile environment, three women composers emerged with their own flute compositions. Certain aspects of music, such as singing and playing keyboard instruments were long thought to be an acceptable activity for young women of stature. However, these activities were not the standard at Frederick William’s court; the family patriarch abhorred music and was indifferent to culture. Despite this, Frederick II began studying flute with Johann Joachim Quantz in 1728. When Frederick II succeeded the throne upon his father’s death in 1740, he was free to pursue music as he wished. Sharing his talents and interests, it is not surprising that two of his own sisters would become not only patrons of music, but also composers and performers. Anna Amalia, his youngest sister, and eldest sister Wilhelmina, Margravine of Brandenburg-Bayreuth, were both drawn into Frederick’s musical world. Princess Anna Amalia (1723-1787) began her musical instruction, encouraged by her mother after the death of her father, Frederick William I of Prussia, by studying with her brother. 1 Andrea Kapell Loewy, “Frederick the Great, Flutist and Composer,” College Music Symposium 20, No. 2 (1990), 118. 2 Later, she studied counterpoint and composition with Johann Philip Kirnberger, who himself had been a student of J.S. Bach’s.2 She is now remembered as a composer in her own right, but mostly as a patroness of music;3 especially since having appointed C.P.E. Bach as her Kapellmeister in 1767.4 In 1755 she was appointed Abbess of Quendlinburg, which greatly increased her personal wealth and allowed her to devote most of her time to music. As a gift for her brother in 1771, she composed her Flute Sonata in F major, a charming work that bears cadences reminiscent of J.S. Bach.5 During her lifetime, Anna Amalia amassed a large collection of literature and music which is still housed today at the Staatsbibliotek in Berlin. Eldest sister Wilhelmine von Bayreuth (1709-1758) grew up alongside her brother Frederick, and shared similar circumstances with her siblings in regard to her musical education. Wilhelmine was a dedicated patroness of the arts. In 1728 she invited lutenist Sylvius Leopold Weiss, along with violinist Johann Pisendel and flutists Pierre Buffardin and Joachim Quantz to her court at Dresden, where they remained for three months. During this time, her brother Frederick would visit her court twice a week to study with Quantz. While Wilhelmine’s favorite instrument was the lute, which she studied with Weiss,6 certainly the influence of her brother and his favorites inspired her to compose for the flute as well. Her Flute Sonata in A minor, composed around 1730 was discovered only recently and is the second autograph manuscript of Wilhelmine’s work known today.7 2 Jill Munroe Fankhauser, “Anna Amalie, Princess of Prussia (1723-1787),” in New Historical Anthology of Music by Women, ed.

    Intégral 30 (2016) pp. 67–80 Dynamics and Dissonance: The Implied Harmonic Theory of J. J. Quantz by Evan Jones Abstract. Chapter 17, Section 6 of Quantz’s Versuch einer Anweisung die Flöte traver- siere zu spielen (1752) includes a short original composition entitled “Affettuoso di molto.” This piece features an unprecedented variety of dynamic markings, alternat- ing abruptly from loud to soft extremes and utilizing every intermediate gradation. Quantz’s discussion of this example provides an analytic context for the dynamic markings in the score: specific levels of relative amplitude are prescribed for particu- lar classes of harmonic events, depending on their relative dissonance. Quantz’s cat- egories anticipate Kirnberger’s distinction between essential and nonessential dis- sonance and closely coincide with even later conceptions as indicated by the various chords’ spans on the Oettingen–Riemann Tonnetz and on David Temperley’s “line of fifths.” The discovery of a striking degree of agreement between Quantz’s prescrip- tions for performance and more recent theoretical models offers a valuable perspec- tive on eighteenth-century musical intuitions and suggests that today’s intuitions might not be very different.

She reflected, “short pieces are not easy to write, and this is the shortest piece I’ve ever written. The reason that short pieces are hard is because you have to pack a lot of information in a short period of time. And because flutes can play fast, I thought that trills and scales at top speed would be the best profiles.” Valentine Trills was commissioned by Carol Wincenc in 1996, who said, “Valentine Trills is one of the most effective solo pieces I play. Audiences are awed by the continuous trilling, turning, spinning and seemingly breathless quality in the piece - all which builds to a thrilling climax.” Please consider this piece’s feelings of brief suspension and exciting momentum as a warm welcome to my recital.

  • Johann Joachim Quantz
    Johann Joachim Quantz Portrait by an unknown 18th-century artist An account of his life taken largely from his autobiography published in 1754–5 Greg Dikmans Johann Joachim Quantz (1697–1773) Quantz was a flute player and composer at royal courts, writer on music and flute maker, and one of the most famous musicians of his day. His autobiography, published in F.W. Marpurg’s Historisch-kritische Beyträge (1754– 5), is the principal source of information on his life. It briefly describes his early years and then focuses on his activities in Dresden (1716–41), his Grand Tour (1724– 27) and his work at the court of Frederick the Great in Berlin and Potsdam (from 1741). Quantz was born in the village Oberscheden in the province of Hannover (northwestern Germany) on 30 January 1697. His father was a blacksmith. At the age of 11, after being orphaned, he began an apprenticeship (1708–13) with his uncle Justus Quantz, a town musician in Merseburg. Quantz writes: I wanted to be nothing but a musician. In August … I went to Merseburg to begin my apprenticeship with the former town-musician, Justus Quantz. … The first instrument which I had to learn was the violin, for which I also seemed to have the greatest liking and ability. Thereon followed the oboe and the trumpet. During my years as an apprentice I worked hardest on these three instruments. Merseburg Matthäus Merian While still an apprentice Quantz also arranged to have keyboard lessons: (1593–1650) Due to my own choosing, I took some lessons at this time on the clavier, which I was not required to learn, from a relative of mine, the organist Kiesewetter.

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.
