Even with regular concert-going, people only had limited opportunities to hear any work. At the beginning of the 1800s, there was an enormous market of arrangements for home use, ranging from solo- violin transcriptions of melodies from operas, through works for chamber ensemble, ‘enlargements’ of piano works, re- instrumentations of other works, and reductions of orchestral pieces. An important ‘point of sale’ for much of this type of chamber music, was that it should function in a number of configurations. Duo transcriptions of opera arias were written so that they could be played by flutes or violins, and transcriptions involving piano usually functioned acceptably with all the ‘accompanying’ melody instruments missed out. It was in these versions that most people learnt the popular repertoire, playing or listening in the home or salon. It would be three decades into the 1800s before ‘full scores’ of orchestral pieces became available for study; Robert Schumann, writing in his 1841 ‘Marriage Diary’ with his new wife, Clara, spoke of his wish for a library of these for the two of them to work at together, playing the orchestra scores at the piano. -

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. -
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. -

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. -
Toccata Classics TOCC0040 Notes
P ANTON REICHA’S VIENNA STRING QUARTETS: VOLUME TWO by Ron Drummond This is the second of four CDs devoted to the eight string quartets that Anton Reicha (1770–1836) composed in Vienna, themselves part of a larger project to record all of Reicha’s surviving string quartets. In undertaking these recordings – world premieres, all – the Kreutzer Quartet is filling in a major gap in the history of the quartet as a form. At the time of their composition in 1802–5 the Vienna quartets were startlingly original, and their contributions to the form remain as instructive as they are idiosyncratic. The extent of their influence on Beethoven and Schubert is only starting to become clear, but early signs indicate it was not inconsiderable. A Creative Engagement Neither the friendship nor the creative rivalry between Reicha and Beethoven has received even a fraction of the scholarly attention it deserves. Even to begin to dig beneath the surface of their relationship – begun in the orchestra at Bonn when both were in their mid-teens and carried on intermittently for the rest of their lives – is to discover a rich intellectual and aesthetic engagement all the more astonishing for having gone unexamined for so long. Reicha’s seven years in Vienna, from late 1801 to late 1808 – the heart of Beethoven’s ‘heroic’ decade – were a crucial period in his own development. As Reicha later recalled, The number of works I finished in Vienna is astonishing. Once started, my verve and imagination were indefatigable. Ideas came to me so rapidly it was often difficult to set them down without losing some of them. -
Klopstock, Hamburg Und Die Musikalische Welt Klaus-Peter Koch
Klaus-Peter Koch Klopstock, Hamburg und die musikalische Welt Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock weilte Anfang April 1751 das erste Mal in Hamburg. Er war zu diesem Zeitpunkt fast 27 Jahre alt und befand sich auf der Hinreise nach Dänemark, um dort die jährliche Pension in Anspruch zu nehmen, die für ihn der Staatsmann Johann Hartwig Ernst von Bernstorf beim dänischen König erwirkt hatte, um sein großes Werk Der Messias vollenden zu können. In Hamburg begegnete er dem Dichter Friedrich von Hagedorn, dem Pastor an St. Katharinen und ebenfalls Dichter Joachim Johann Daniel Zimmermann, dem Buchhändler und Verleger Johann Carl Bohn sowie dem Rektor des Johanneums Johann Samuel Müller.1 Ein Zusammentreffen mit Georg Philipp Telemann, der zentralen Gestalt auf musikalischem Gebiet in Hamburg, wird in den Quellen mit keinem Wort erwähnt. Auch für die folgende Zeit, als Klopstock seinen Hauptwohnsitz in Dänemark hatte und regelmäßig Hamburg aufsuchte, sind Begegnun- gen nicht aktenkundig, und diese Quellensituation ändert sich nicht bis zu Telemanns Tod 1767. Dass keine Begegnung beider quellenmäßig abgesichert ist, muss aber keines- wegs bedeuten, dass direkte Kontakte nicht stattgefunden hätten. Im Gegenteil: Viele Indizien deuten darauf hin.2 Da ist zunächst einmal die schon erwähnte zentrale Stellung Telemanns im Musik- leben Hamburgs hervorzuheben. Schon 1721, 30 Jahre vor Klopstocks erstmaligem Hamburg-Aufenthalt, hatte Telemann seine Tätigkeit für Hamburg als Kantor am Johan- neum, ein städtisches Schulamt also, und Director musices an den fünf Hauptkirchen aufgenommen. Was letzteres betrifft, so war Telemann damit für die Musikausübung an St. Michaelis, St. Petri, St. Jacobi, St. Nicolai und St. Katharinen verantwortlich. Hinzu kam sein Wirken als Kapellmeister an der Hamburger Gänsemarktoper. -

Dr. Stephan Eisel An der Vogelweide 11 53229 Bonn [email protected] (17. Januar 2020) Stephan Eisel Die Musikstadt Bonn Die Musikliebhaberey nimmt unter den Einwohnern sehr zu“ – so charakterisierte das renommierte Magazin für Musik am 8. April 1787 Beethovens Heimatstadt, und ohne Zweifel wuchs der Komponist in einer ausgesprochenen Musikstadt auf. Das Zentrum bildeten die Hofkapelle und das Hoftheater, in dem die aktuellsten Opern der Zeit gespielt wurden. Darum herum hatte sich zugleich eine außerordentlich vielfältige Szene begabter Laienmusiker gebildet, zu denen auch der Kurfürst selbst gehörte. Als jüngster Sohn der Kaiserin Maria Theresia hatte Max Franz eine solide Musikausbildung erhalten, musizierte selbst vor allem an der Bratsche und nannte eine außergewöhnliche Notensammlung sein Eigen. Mit Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart war er persönlich bekannt und hatte auch die Möglichkeit ventiliert, diesen zum Bonner Hofkapellmeister zu berufen. Das Rückgrat der Musikstadt Bonn waren die örtlichen Musikerfamilien. Dass bei den Beethovens ab 1733 mit dem Bassisten und späteren Hofkapellmeister Ludwig van Beethoven d.Ä., seinem Sohn Johann (Tenor) und dem Enkel Ludwig drei Generationen aus einer Familie der Hofkapelle angehörten, war dabei keineswegs ungewöhnlich. Eine besonders einflussreiche Bonner Musiker-Dynastie war die Familie Ries. Johann Ries, gleichsam der „Urvater“ der Familie, war schon 1747 als Trompeter und ab 1754 als Geiger Mitglied in der Hofkapelle. Zwei seiner vier Kinder wurden ebenfalls Mitglieder des Orchesters: Johanns älteste Tochter Anna Maria (verheiratete Drewer) war 1764-1794 eine viel gelobte Sängerin, sein Sohn Franz Anton galt als Wunderkind und wurde 1774 offiziell als Geiger in die Hofkapelle aufgenommen, der er – in den 90er Jahren als Konzertmeister bzw. -
