  • MTO 19.3: Brody, Review of Matthew Dirst, Engaging Bach
    Volume 19, Number 3, September 2013 Copyright © 2013 Society for Music Theory Review of Matthew Dirst, Engaging Bach: The Keyboard Legacy from Marpurg to Mendelssohn (Cambridge University Press, 2012) Christopher Brody KEYWORDS: Bach, Bach reception, Mozart, fugue, chorale, Well-Tempered Clavier Received July 2013 [1] Historical research on Johann Sebastian Bach entered its modern era in the late 1950s with the development, spearheaded by Alfred Dürr, Georg von Dadelsen, and Wisso Weiss, of the so-called “new chronology” of his works.(1) In parallel with this revolution, the history of the dissemination and reception of Bach was also being rewritten. Whereas Hans T. David and Arthur Mendel wrote, in 1945, that “Bach and his works ... [were] practically forgotten by the generations following his” (358), by 1998 Christoph Wolff could describe the far more nuanced understanding of Bach reception that had arisen in the intervening years in terms of “two complementary aspects”: on the one hand, the beginning of a more broadly based public reception of Bach’s music in the early nineteenth century, for which Mendelssohn’s 1829 performance of the St. Matthew Passion represents a decisive milestone; on the other hand, the uninterrupted reception of a more private kind, largely confined to circles of professional musicians, who regarded Bach’s fugues and chorales in particular as a continuing challenge, a source of inspiration, and a yardstick for measuring compositional quality. (485–86) [2] In most respects it is with the latter (though chronologically earlier) aspect that Matthew Dirst’s survey Engaging Bach: The Keyboard Legacy from Marpurg to Mendelssohn concerns itself, serving as a fine single-volume introduction to the “private” side of Bach reception up to about 1850.

    I DMITRI SHOSTAKOVICH AND THE FUGUES OF OP. 87: A BACH BICENTENNIAL TRIBUTE THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF MUSIC By Robert M. Adams, B. M. Denton, Texas August, 1981 Adams, Robert M. , Dmitri Shostakovich and the Fugues of Op. 87: A Bach Bicentennial Tribute. Master of Music (Music Theory), August, 1981, 242 pp., 12 tables, biblio- graphy, 16 titles. In 1950-51, for the bicentennial of the death of J. S. Bach, Dmitri Shostakovich wrote his collection of Twenty-four Preludes and Fugues, Op. 87. This thesis is a study of the fugal technique of Shostakovich as observed in Op. 87, in light of the fugal style of Bach as observed in The Well-Tempered Clavier, Volume One. Individual analyses of each of the twenty-four Shostakovich pieces yield the conclusion that Op. 87 is an emulation of Bachian fugal methods as observed in The Well-Tempered Clavier, Volume One.

  • EPTA Conference Germany 2020 Beethoven As
    EPTA Conference Germany 2020 Beethoven as student and teacher Nils Franke Dean of Higher Education, University Centre Colchester, UK [email protected] 1. Beethoven as keyboard student Until just after the beginning of the 21st century, musicological studies of Beethoven as a student have focused predominantly on two elements: the first is the likely influence that Beethoven’s father Johann, himself a professional musician, may have had on his son’s artistic development. The second component was concerned with Christian Gottlob Neefe’s teaching of the young Beethoven, for which on very few surviving sources remain. The significance of young Beethoven’s parental home tended to focus on his father’s occupation as a professional singer, and, given the practices at the time, private music tutor. In contrast, Neefe’s output as a court musician was more tangible in its relevance to Beethoven’s subsequent achievements by ranging from conducting to playing the organ and composition. What was shared by both scenarios was a lack of academically credible sources that offered sufficient information for a more detailed picture of Beethoven’s initial studies to emerge. This changed in 2006 when the diaries of Gottfried Fischer (1780-1864) became available in an annotated scholarly edition, a master baker in Bonn whose family owned the house in which Beethoven’s parents rented an apartment. Fischer compiled his diaries between 1837 and 1857, but drew heavily on observations written down by his sister Cäcilie (1762-1845), who was eighteen years his senior and would thus have been in a position to witness some of the musical activities that formed part of the lives of the Beethoven family in the late 1770s and early 1780s.

  • A Study of Musical Rhetoric in JS Bach's Organ Fugues
    A Study of Musical Rhetoric in J. S. Bach’s Organ Fugues BWV 546, 552.2, 577, and 582 A document submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS in the Keyboard Division of the College-Conservatory of Music March 2015 by Wei-Chun Liao BFA, National Taiwan Normal University, 1999 MA, Teachers College, Columbia University, 2002 MEd, Teachers College, Columbia University, 2003 Committee Chair: Roberta Gary, DMA Abstract This study explores the musical-rhetorical tradition in German Baroque music and its connection with Johann Sebastian Bach’s fugal writing. Fugal theory according to musica poetica sources includes both contrapuntal devices and structural principles. Johann Mattheson’s dispositio model for organizing instrumental music provides an approach to comprehending the process of Baroque composition. His view on the construction of a subject also offers a way to observe a subject’s transformation in the fugal process. While fugal writing was considered the essential compositional technique for developing musical ideas in the Baroque era, a successful musical-rhetorical dispositio can shape the fugue from a simple subject into a convincing and coherent work. The analyses of the four selected fugues in this study, BWV 546, 552.2, 577, and 582, will provide a reading of the musical-rhetorical dispositio for an understanding of Bach’s fugal writing. ii Copyright © 2015 by Wei-Chun Liao All rights reserved iii Acknowledgements The completion of this document would not have been possible without the help and support of many people.

  • Thinking in Song
    THINKING IN SONG Prosody, Text-Setting and Music Theory in Eighteenth-Century Germany A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Martin Kuester January 2012 © 2012 Martin Kuester THINKING IN SONG Prosody, Text-Setting and Music Theory in Eighteenth-Century Germany Martin Kuester, Ph.D. Cornell University 2012 Eighteenth-century music theorists habitually used terms that were apparently im- ported from grammar, rhetoric and poetics. While historians of music theory have commonly described these words as reflecting metaphorical attempts to understand music by analogy with language, this study emphasizes their technical value, especially with respect to vocal music, which includes both domains. In the case of Johann Mat- theson, Johann Adolph Scheibe, Joseph Riepel and Friedrich Wilhelm Marpurg, the literal meaning of this common vocabulary can be recovered by viewing their general composition rules���������������������� in the previously une�amined������������ conte��������������������������������t of their theories for compos- ing te�t and music of vocal works. Chapter One questions the applicability of a ‘metaphor of music as a language’ to eighteenth-century musical thought and proposes a new framework, centered on what Scheibe and others considered �����������������������������������������������the origin of both music and language, prosody. Chapter Two e�amines Mattheson’s famous minuet analysis and concludes that a prosodic sub-discipline of music theory provided a vocabulary that applied, in ten- dency, to words and notes of vocal music, simultaneously. Chapter Three traces the interaction of prosodic parameters in the longer history of ‘musical feet,’ pointing out eighteenth-century theorists’ successful efforts to adapt or re-adapt their terminol- ogy to the practice of modern vocal composition.

M. Denton, Texas August, 1961 PREFACE The chorale Wie schn iihtet derMorgenstern was popular from its very outset in 1589. That it has retained its popularity down to the present day is evident by its continually appearing in hymnbooks and being used as a cantus in organ compositions as well as forming the basis for other media of musical composition. The treatment of organ compositions based on this single chorale not only exemplifies the curiously novel attraction that this tune has held for composers, but also supplies a common denominator by which the history of the organ chorale can be generally stated. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page PREFACE . * . * . * . * * * . * .

  • La Proprietà Intellettuale Nelle Cappelle Musicali Del '700
    67 Riccardo Di Pasquale Violinista La Proprietà intellettuale nelle Cappelle musicali del ’700 Il caso Luchesi La vicenda umana di Andrea Luchesi, musicista italiano del XVIII secolo, costituisce un caso emblematico di attribuzione della paternità dell’opera di un compositore ad altri autori. Il merito storico di avere riscoperto la figura di Andrea Luchesi, dopo duecento anni di oblio, è di Giorgio Taboga, studioso trevisano, che sul musicista Luchesi ha condotto una ricerca dagli esiti sorprendenti.1 Andrea Luchesi, Kapellmeister dell’elettore di Colonia tra il 1771 e il 1794, sarebbe il vero autore di numerose partiture di F. J. Haydn e di W. A. Mozart. È bene precisare da subito che quelle di Taboga non sono affermazio- ni generiche ma conclusioni derivanti da una ricerca accurata e suppor- tata da elementi di fatto circostanziati. Recentemente anche altri studiosi hanno dato il loro contributo alla riscoperta di Luchesi. In particolare Luigi Della Croce ha avallato la figura di Luchesi come maestro di Beethoven e i musicologi Luca Bianchini e Anna Trombetta lo hanno accreditato come probabile vero 1 In realtà il primo studio su Luchesi fu pubblicato a Bonn nel 1937 da T. A. Henseler, Andrea Luchesi, der letzte Bonner Hofkappelmeister zur Zeit des jungen Beethoven, nel quale l’autore mise in luce il ruolo di Luchesi come maestro di Beethoven. Nel 1983 seguì il libro della dott.ssa Claudia Valder-Knechges, Des Kirchenmusik Andrea Luchesis, pubblicato a Merseburger. Oggi Giorgio Taboga è il massimo conoscitore di Andrea Luchesi e lo studioso che ha prodotto la ricerca più approfondita. 68 Riccardo Di Pasquale autore della sinfonia Jupiter attribuita a Mozart.
