Kdo vzpomene si muzikanta, jenž tu kdysi žil, jak rohem naši zemi proslavil a revoluci první pozdravil? Kdo zná dnes jeho slavnou píseň, již lid si sblížil a revoluci první proslavil? V mramor šedý jméno jeho zlatem vytesáno, života činů je zbytkem všeho, co v paměť vepsáno. Kdo vzpomene a poznat míní, jak nevolník se proti moci postavil, jak on /a mnozí neznámí jiní/ dávno činem života cíl oslavil! (Bohumil Pospíšil) 6 Úvod Ke zpracování práce na téma J. V. Stich-Punto: historie a současnost jeho díla a odkazu pro budoucí generace, mě vedly okolnosti nejen studijní, ale i osobní. Hudební skladatel a virtuos J. V. Stich – Giovanni Punto mi je jako pedagogovi na lesní roh velice blízký. Se svými žáky v hudební škole nacvičujeme komorní díla J. V. Sticha (dueta, tria), studujeme a uvádíme i jeho koncerty (např. č. 5, 6, 7). Vše podtrhuje skutečnost, že často účin kuji se souborem Corni Boemi při koncertech na zámku v Žehušicích. Od října do konce ledna se zúčastňujeme i loveckých parforsních honů a dalších loveckých slavností konaných na žehušickém panství. Velký podíl repertoáru tvoří vždy díla J. V. Sticha. Jako motto jsem si vybral báseň bývalého učitele a ředitele základní školy v Žehušicích Bohumila Pospíšila (1914–1996), který se věnoval významným osobnostem čáslavského regionu. Svými verši vyjádřil hlubokou úctu k nejslavnějšímu žehušickému rodákovi. Báseň zhudebnila pro smíšený sbor s doprovodem tria lesních rohů Jitka Snížková (1924–1989), klavíristka, cembalistka, hudební skladatelka a muzikoložka. 7 1. Osobnost Jana Václava Sticha-Punta Část práce nazvaná Osobnost Jana Václava Sticha-Punta je rozdělena do tří tematických celků. První oddíl se vztahuje k rozboru skladatelské činnosti Sticha-Punta, analýzou zahraničních a českých titulů. Následující oddíl popisuje Punta jako virtuosa, dále rozbor hry na nástroj a používání nové techniky za jeho doby. V poslední části se budeme zabývat vlivem Sticha-Punta na Mozarta a Beethovena. 1.1. Stich-Punto skladatelem V úvodu této části práce musím uvést, že Stich-Punto (28. 9. 1746 – 16. 2. 1803) byl zejména výkonným umělcem. Jako skladatel se uplatňoval méně. Během svého života nebyl pravděpodobně honorován za komponování ani vyhledáván jako skladatel. Za možnou výjimku by se dalo označit složení Hymne à la Liberté en trio avec grand orchestre, který byl jeho prvním vokálním dílem. Punto byl doporučen a osloven, aby složil hymnus ke slavnosti Rozumu, konané ve francouzském Rouenu v revoluční době roku 1793. Získal-li za tuto skladbu finanční honorář, nelze objektivně prokázat.1 Zejména v počátcích skládal Punto hudbu pro svou potřebu, aby mohl nechat vyniknout své hráčské umění při koncertech nebo psal skladby z přátelství ke svým kolegům-hudebníkům. Například J. L. Dusíkovi věnoval šest sonát pro violoncello.2 O složení koncertu se dovídáme v knize Jana Branbergera, kde se píše: „Koncert pro lesní roh, cyklickou skladbu o třech až čtyřech částech, před Puntem snad ještě nikdo nenapsal. […] Učitelé Puntovi, hlavně Hampl a Houdek, tehdejší nejlepší cornisté světa, pomýšleli na koncerty pro svůj nástroj, ale nebyli skladebně tak schopní, aby vytvořili umělé dílo vybroušené tradiční formy. Punto se sice neučil doposud nikde skladbě, ale jeho hudební nadání mu umožnilo, že se na koncert odvážil. “3 První vzdělání v kompozici získal Stich-Punto od Sacchiniho v Benátkách. V důsledku nových zjištění svůj první koncert pro lesní roh přepracoval, změnil jeho formu a doplnil jej. Podrobnosti o okolnostech vzniku dalších Puntem napsaných koncertů neznáme. Někdy se lze setkat v literatuře se zmínkou, že se Punto snažil skládat, ale čím byl ovlivněn a jaký byl jeho postup komponování, není známo. Bohumír Štědoň ve svém článku mimo jiné uvádí, že J. V. Stich vydával skladby jiných mistrů za své.4 Na obhajobu Sticha musím uvést, že v jeho době docházelo velmi často k takzvanému parodování, kdy skladatel opětovně použil starší skladby nebo jejich části v nových skladbách. Stich-Punto tak mohl parodovat svá vlastní či cizí díla. Parodování mělo nejméně dvě výhody. Pomáhalo skladatelům zvládnout nesmírně vysoké nároky na počet skladeb, které museli komponovat po celý rok, a také tím mohli vrátit do hudebního provozu zdařilou hudbu, pro jejíž uplatnění by v její původní podobě nebyla příležitost. Johann Sebastian Bach také často parodoval cizí díla, ale vypůjčený materiál doplnil svými nápady a vznikaly skladby velmi uznávané. Parodování se dopouštěl i český skladatel Jakub Jan Ryba (1765 – 1815). Z důvodů výše uvedených se domnívám, že označení Punta za uměleckého podvodníka je příliš kritické. 1KAPSA, Václav.

Theodor von Frimmel uvádí5, že Stich byl tzv. nižší skladatel, avšak jako hornista má neobyčejné zásluhy o rozvoj techniky hry na lesní

  • 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

    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.TIie sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages, ihis ntay have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete i copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.

  • Modern Horn Playing in Beethoven: an Exploration of Period Appropriate Techniques for the Orchestral Music of Beethoven for the Modern Horn Player
    Modern Horn Playing in Beethoven: An Exploration of Period Appropriate Techniques for the Orchestral Music of Beethoven for the Modern Horn Player Matthew John Anderson A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts University of Washington 2016 Reading Committee: Timothy Salzman, Chair David Rahbee Jeffrey Fair Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Music ©Copyright 2016 Matthew John Anderson I. Abstract The historically informed movement has made it increasingly apparent that orchestras can no longer interpret Beethoven, Mahler, Mozart, and Bach in exactly the same manner. It is now incumbent upon each member of the orchestra, as well as the conductor, to be aware of historic performance traditions in order to color the music with appropriate gestures. It is therefore important for horn players to explore the hand horn traditions of the baroque, classical, and early romantic periods in an effort to perform the correct inflections in a way that the composer might have expected the music to sound. As an example, in the second movement of the Beethoven’s third symphony, beginning in the second half of the eighteenth measure from the end of the movement and going into the next measure, the second horn goes from a concert middle C down a half step to a B natural. Original practice would cause the B natural to be ¾ covered which would have caused tension in the sound. Modern horns can just depress second valve to play the note giving a completely different color. The intention of this document is to inform current and future generations of hornists techniques to not only re-create sounds of the period on modern instruments, but also to create new pathways to learning repertoire through deconstructing the orchestral passages, creating new ways towards a complete understanding of the literature.

Rooney B.M., University of Missouri-Columbia, 2002 M.M., University of Cincinnati, 2004 Committee Chair: Dr. bruce d. mcclung ABSTRACT A survey of solo horn works composed in the late twentieth century exhibits the strong influence of horn performers on the instrument’s expanding solo repertoire. Hornists such as Jeffrey Agrell, David Amram, Paul Basler, Randall Faust, Lowell Greer, Douglas Hill, Lowell Shaw, Jeffrey Snedeker, and many others have contributed worthwhile new works to the horn repertoire. These works take advantage of recent compositional trends in order to showcase the full spectrum of musical possibilities available to the modern hornist. The goal of this study is to draw attention to the large body of horn solo repertoire that has been composed by hornists from 1970 to 2005, to explore the technical challenges it poses, to consider common trends among the works of several hornist-composers, and to encourage performance of this repertoire. Chapter One provides an overview of the project and examines the relevant existing research.

  • DETERMINING the AUTHENTICITY of the CONCERTO for TWO HORNS, Woo. 19, ATTRIBUTED to FERDINAND RIES
    DETERMINING THE AUTHENTICITY OF THE CONCERTO FOR TWO HORNS, WoO. 19, ATTRIBUTED TO FERDINAND RIES Amy D. Laursen, B.M.E., M.M. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS December 2015 APPROVED: William Scharnberg, Major Professor Kris Chesky, Related Field Professor Brian Bowman, Committee Member Benjamin Brand, Director of Graduate Studies, College of Music James Scott, Dean of the College of Music Costas Tsatsoulis, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Laursen, Amy D. Determining the Authenticity of the Concerto for Two Horns, WoO. 19, Attributed to Ferdinand Ries. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), December 2015, 100 pp., 1 table, 27 figures, 57 musical examples, references, 108 titles. Ferdinand Ries is credited as the composer of the Concerto for Two Horns, WoO. 19 preserved in the Berlin State Library. Dated 1811, ostensibly Ries wrote it in the same year as his Horn Sonata, Op. 34, yet the writing for the horns in the Concerto is significantly more demanding. Furthermore, Ries added to the mystery by not claiming the Concerto in his personal catalog of works or mentioning it in any surviving correspondence. The purpose of this dissertation is to study the authorship of the Concerto for Two Horns and offer possible explanations for the variance in horn writing. Biographical information of Ries is given followed by a stylistic analysis of Ries’s known works. A stylistic analysis of the Concerto for Two Horns, WoO. 19 is offered, including a handwriting comparison between the Concerto for Two Horns and Ries’s Horn Sonata. Finally, possible explanations are proposed that rationalize the variance in horn writing between the Concerto for Two Horns, WoO.

The natural horn was a valve-less brass instrument that was quite popular during the 18 th century. The natural horn evoked a very particular aesthetic: light, nimble, virtuosic, “natural”, voice-like. Then the new invention of valves was applied to brass instruments in the early 19 th century. Because of the highly pleasing sound produced by the natural horn the application of valves to the instrument met a fair amount of resistance. So the natural horn continued to be used well after the invention of the valve horn. My thesis is that this happened due to the influence of tradition, performers, and a particular naturalist aesthetic that persisted from the classical period into the romantic.
