Všichni známí violoncellisté je v určité fázi své kariéry hráli, případně stále hrají. Také se velmi často objevují jako povinný program na nejrůznějších mezinárodních hudebních soutěžích, jako je například soutěž Petra Iljiče Čajkovského v Rusku. Díky jejich velké oblibě u violoncellistů minulosti i současnosti a výborné dostupnosti zvukových nosičů je dnes k dispozici mimořádné množství krásných nahrávek, které mohu ve své práci podrobně zanalyzovat a popřemýšlet nad jejich interpretačním přínosem. Konkrétně tuto skladbu jsem si pak vybrala z toho důvodu, že se mi celkově velice líbí tvorba Petra Iljiče Čajkovského a Variace na rokokové téma jsou jednou z jeho nejznámějších instrumentálních skladeb. Mám v plánu jí nastudovat a věřím, že poslech jejích mistrovských interpretací mi umožní lépe pochopit její charakter a harmonickou strukturu. Cílem práce je, jak už jsem předtím uvedla, podrobná analýza notového materiálu a dostupných zvukových nahrávek jednotlivých interpretací. Pro účel práce jsem si vybrala tři významné hudebníky, jejichž verze budu podrobněji rozebírat. Jedná se o tyto interprety: Yakov Slobodkin, Daniil Shafran a Janos Starker. Také bych do své práce chtěla zahrnout stručný životopis každého jednotlivého violoncellisty. Hlavní obsah práce je rozdělen do tří kapitol. V první se věnuji historii vzniku Variací a jejich stručnému hudebnímu rozboru – k tomu použiji zapůjčený notový materiál. Ve druhé kapitole se objevují krátké životopisy interpretů, ve třetí pak konečně samotná komparace jednotlivých interpretačních pojetí. Třetí kapitola je nejdůležitější část celé práce. 5 1. Petr Iljič Čajkovskij a Variace na rokokové téma 1.1. Stručný životopis P. I. Čajkovského Petr Iljič Čajkovskij se narodil 7. května 1840 ve Votkinsku. Jeho otec Iljia Petrovič byl vyučeným inženýrem v Petrohradě a následně pracoval jako vedoucí Kamsko- Votkinské fabriky. Oba rodiče se amatérsky věnovali hudbě – otec hrál na flétnu, matka zpívala a občas hrála na klavír. Mladý Petr Iljič měl tak již od útlého věku přístup k základům hudebního vzdělání, což bylo umocněno soukromými lekcemi klavírní hry, jež několik let dostával. Díky domácímu orchestrionu se seznamuje s hudbou Mozarta, Rossiniho, Belliniho, Donizettiho. V roce 1852 nastupuje na právnickou školu v Petrohradě a během studia se dál aktivně zajímá o hudební život – navštěvuje koncerty, operní představení atd. Také se věnuje klavíru a dokonce zpívá ve sboru. Po ukončení studia (1859) pracuje Čajkovskij na Ministerstvu spravedlnosti, roku 1861 cestuje po Evropě a později nastupuje na Petrohradskou konzervatoř, kde studuje kompozici u Antona Rubinsteina. Od roku 1863 se věnuje již výhradně hudbě. Vystupuje jako korepetitor, dává soukromé klavírní lekce a hudební teorii. Později (1866) získává místo na moskevské konzervatoři a učí hudební teorii a skladbu. Také píše hudební kritiky a komponuje své první symfonie, opery, komorní hudbu aj. Z tohoto období pochází také Variace na rokokové téma. Z konzervatoře odchází v roce 1878 a dále se věnuje především kompozici. Cestuje po Evropě (Švýcarsko, Itálie, Francie, Německo), což si může dovolit díky finanční podpoře ze strany mecenášky Naděždy von Meck. Koncem 80. let vystupuje jako dirigent v Rusku i v zahraničí. Seznamuje s mnoha významnými evropskými hudebníky, jako například Edvard Grieg, Richard Strauss, Gustav Mahler, Antonín Dvořák aj. 6 V roce 1891 odjíždí do Ameriky a diriguje své vlastní skladby v New Yorku, Baltimoru aj. V New Yorku dokonce řídí premiérový koncert při příležitosti slavnostního otevření Carnegie Hall. Čajkovskij umírá roku 1893 v Petrohradě devět dní po premiéře své šesté symfonie. 1.2. Historie vzniku skladby Dne 25. března 1875 se v novinách Ruské vědomosti objevil článek ohledně violoncellového repertoáru, který prý “není adekvátně doplňován novými skladbami”1. Autorem tohoto článku byl sám Petr Iljič Čajkovskij, který o rok později v prosinci 1876 začíná komponovat Variace na rokokové téma pro violoncello a orchestr. Čajkovskij byl velkým milovníkem hudby 18. století – inspirace stylem rokoko. Onou inspirací je však spíše radostná nálada a elegance tohoto stylu, než přehnaná pompéznost a bohatá ornamentace. Samotné téma je pak poměrně jednoduché a má typicky ruský hudební nádech. Variace jsou věnovány osobnímu příteli Petra Iljiče Čajkovského, významnému violoncellistovi a pedagogovi Wilhelmu Fitzenhagenovi, jenž Čajkovskému radil ohledně nástrojové techniky. Fitzenhagen upravil skladbu podle sebe – změnil celkový počet variací a jejich pořadí. Také

  • Benjamin Britten in the Music Culture of the Soviet Union in the 1960S (To the 100Th Anniversary of the Composer's Birth)
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Vol. 3 No. 14 [Special Issue - July 2013] Benjamin Britten in the Music Culture of the Soviet Union in the 1960s (to the 100th Anniversary of the Composer's Birth) Alexander Rossinsky Department of Art Altai State University Russia Ekaterina Vorontsova Department of History Altai State University Russia Abstract The period of the 1960-s was difficult and controversial. Former allies of the anti-Hitler coalition turned to be on different sides of the acute ideological struggle which nearly led to the world war. Tremendous work was carried by artists, musicians who united disparate peoples into the community calling for the universal values. The central place in such the sphere of music belongs to one of the greatest composers of the 20th century, Benjamin Britten. Together with the Soviet musicians he pushed the world back from the sharp ideological confrontation. Keywords: B.Brittten, P.Pears, USSR, M.Rostropovich, G.Vishnevskaya, D.Shostakovich, symphonic and chamber music. The events unfolding in the world, which had survived the most destructive war in the history of human civilization, were dramatic and characterised by multi-vector directions of their development. The countries that joined the anti-Hitler coalition in the 40s, in the 60s were experiencing the peak of their ideological hostility, teetering on the verge of unleashing the third world war. At the same time, the Soviet Union, headed the unpredictable and highly controversial leader Nikita Khrushchev, pursued a policy of flirtations with liberalism in an attempt to overcome the cult of personality of Joseph Stalin and remove the notorious “Iron Curtain”, which for decades had protected the USSR from Western influence.

    A Comprehensive Guide for Learning Cello Vibrato Yang Lu A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts University of Washington 2020 Reading Committee: Sæunn Thorsteinsd´ottir,Chair Patricia Shehan Campbell Rachel Lee Priday Program Authorized to Offer Degree: School of Music c Copyright 2020 Yang Lu University of Washington Abstract A Comprehensive Guide for Learning Cello Vibrato Yang Lu Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Assistant Professor Sæunn Thorsteinsd´ottir Music Vibrato has become such a critical technique in today's instrumental performance that it is surprising to find it only lightly recorded in pedagogical literature, especially with respects to systematic teaching. The learning process for vibrato often comes verbally from teacher to student and is treated as the learning of a mechanism of expression. This study presents a comprehensive learning guide for vibrato on the cello. There are a number of different characteristics in vibrato technique, and based on these characteristics I demonstrate relevant exercises and excerpts for learning and practicing vibrato. I also provide a collection of cello excerpts as different applications of vibrato in performance scenarios. This study will analyze recording excerpts by renown cellists in performance environments using digital signal processing techniques to visualize and discuss the vibrato in selected passages. The goal of this study is to document a systematic method for educators to help students achieve musical expression through a thorough understanding of vibrato. CONTENTS Contents .

Les recherches 1945 de pièces “originales” ou “rares” nous ont conduits d’émerveillement très passagers en déceptions immédiates, sans compter les moments où nous n’étions évidemment pas d’accord sur la pertinence de programmer telle ou telle découverte. Mais le Trio de Weinberg a vite fait l’unanimité. La charge émotionnelle qu’il charrie, la qualité et l’originalité de l’écriture, la personnalité du compositeur (un jeune homme face aux affres du XXè siècle), le challenge instrumental qu’il propose... tout était réuni pour en faire LA pièce que nous voulions défendre. Personne n’en ressort d’ailleurs indemne: ni le public,... ni les musiciens! L’idée de consacrer notre premier album à Weinberg et plus particulièrement à cette période charnière autour de l’année 1945 devint une évidence.
