Dynamicsanddissonance: Theimpliedharmonictheoryof
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. Keywords and phrases: Quantz, Versuch, Affettuoso di molto, thoroughbass, disso- nance, dynamics, Kirnberger, Temperley, line of fifths, Tonnetz. 1. Dynamic Markings in Quantz’s ing.

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. -

During his years in Ruppin and Rheinsberg as Crown Prince, Frederick had already assembled a small chamber orchestra. The cultural life at the Prussian court was to receive an entirely new significance after Frederick’s accession to the throne in Berlin in 1740. Within a short time, Berlin’s musical life began to flower thanks to the young king’s decision to construct an opera house and to engage outstanding instrumentalists, singers and conductors. As a compensation for the demanding affairs of state, the Prussian king enjoyed playing and composing for the flute in a style closely following that of histeacher Johann Joachim Quantz. Quantz called this the mixed style, one that combined the German style with the bestelements of the Italian and French national styles. -

The Eminent Pedagogue Johann Joachim Quantz As Instructor Of
Kulturgeschichte Preuûens - Colloquien 6 (2018) Walter Kurt Kreyszig The Eminent Pedagogue Johann Joachim Quantz as Instructor of Frederick the Great During the Years 1728-1741: The Solfeggi, the Versuch einer Anweisung die Flöte traversière zu spielen, and the Capricen, Fantasien und Anfangsstücke of Quantz, the Flötenbuch of Frederick the Great and Quantz, and the Achtundzwanzig Variationen über die Arie "Ich schlief, da träumte mir" of Quantz (QV 1:98) Abstract Johann Joachim Quantz (1697-1773), the flute instructor of Frederick the Great (1712-1786), played a seminal role in the development of the Prussian Court Music, during its formative years between 1713 and 1806. As a result of his lifetime appointment to the Court of Potsdam in 1741 by King Frederick the Great, Quantz was involved in numerous facets of the cultural endeavors at the Court, including his contributions to composition, performance and organology. Nowhere was his presence more acutely felt than in his formulation of music-pedagogical materials an activity where his knowledge as a preminent pedagogue and his skills as a composer, organologist and performer fused together in most astounding fashion. Quantz's effectiveness in his teaching of his most eminent student, Frederick the Great, is fully borne out in a number of documents, including the Solfeggi, the Versuch, the Caprices, Fantasien und Anfangsstücke, and the Achtundzwanzig Variationen über die Arie "Ich schlief, da träumte mir". While each document touches on different aspects of the musical discipline, these sources vividly underscore the intersection between musica theorica and musica practica and as such provide testimony of Johann Joachim Quantz as a genuine musicus. -
The Recorded Examples Les Illustrations Sonores
The recorded examples The eight CDs that accompany this treatise follow its argument closely. Lengthy works or those on a large scale are represented by a few well-chosen excerpts; we have also chosen to refer the listener to certain complete recordings that are easily available through normal commercial channels. The greatest performers of our time have devoted their talents to making these works live again; some of these works have also enjoyed stage revivals, as was the case with Lully’s Atys, conducted by William Christie and directed by Jean-Marie Villégier in 1987 in a staging that has since become legendary. More recently, the young conductor Sébastien Daucé has presented the first reconstruction of aballet de cour, the Ballet royal de la Nuit. Les illustrations sonores Les huit disques qui accompagnent cet ouvrage suivent pas à pas le cours de ce récit. En ce qui concerne les œuvres de grande envergure, elles ne sont illustrées ici que par quelques extraits représentatifs. Il convient évidemment de se référer aux quelques enregistrements complets qui sont disponibles sur le marché du disque. Les plus grands interprètes de notre époque ont apporté tout leur talent à faire revivre ces ouvrages, bénéficiant parfois aussi de la possibilité d’une représentation scénique, comme ce fut le cas pour Atys de Lully, dont le spectacle dirigé par William Christie pour la musique et par Jean-Marie Villégier pour la mise en scène fut, en 1987, un événement mémorable. Tout récemment, c’est le jeune chef Sébastien Daucé qui a proposé la première reconstitution d’un ballet de cour, Le Ballet royal de la Nuit… 140 CD I AIRS DE COUR & BALLETS DE COUR 1. -

Neue Bach-Ausgabe of 1969, 152 – 32 Pages Fewer Than Bärenreiter
Early Music Review EDITIONS OF MUSIC have been rejected. What Bach is concerned with is the total length, not so much as individual pieces but groups J. S. Bach Complete Organ Works vol.8: of pieces (e.g. the first 24 preludes and fugues) and the idea is most lengthily shown in the B-minor Mass. The Organ Chorales of the Leipzig Manuscript “18” is a dubious choice because nos. 16-18 were written Edited by Jean-Claude Zehnder. after the composer’s death. I wonder whether the first Breitkopf Härtel (EB8808), 2015. & piece in the collection, Fantasia super Komm, Heiliger 183pp + CD containing musical texts, commentary & Geist, was expanded from 48 to 105 bars as the quickest synoptical depiction. €26.80. way to complete the round number. The total bars of any individual chorale is only relevant to the total, and the bought the Bärenreiter equivalent (vol. 2) back in 1961, only round sum covers BWV 651-665. It does seem an three years after it was published. Bach evidently was odd concept and I can’t take it seriously – the 1200 bars I expecting to produce a larger work than the six Organ do not help guess how to fit such a length into CD discs. Sonatas, assembled around 1730; he then waited a decade But that Bach wrote “The 15” rather than “The 18” could, before moving on around 1740, using the same paper. He even without a total bar count, suggest that BWV 666-668 copied 15 pieces, then had a break. BWV666 and 667 were should be left as an appendix. -
