  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION The present volume contains Carl Philipp Emanuel revision of the body of work that had accrued up to that Bach’s first two published sets of keyboard sonatas: the time.2 For the publication of his two keyboard cycles, Bach six “Prussian” (Wq 48) and six “Württemberg” (Wq 49) chose engravers and printers from Nuremberg: Balthasar Sonatas. The exact date of publication for each collection Schmid for Wq 48, and Johann Wilhelm Windter/Johann is not entirely clear. NV 1790 gives 1743 for the first set Ulrich Haffner for Wq 49. The connection with Nurem- and 1745 for the second, while the Autobiography gives 1742 berg, for which Bach’s father likely served as the catalyst, and 1744, respectively. Advertisements in the Nuremberg lasted well into the 1760s.3 newspaper Friedens- und Kriegs-Currier might have pro- The source situation of the “Prussian” and “Württem- vided some clarification, but no mention has been found berg” Sonatas may be described as quite favorable: both of the Wq 48 print in any of the 1742 issues, and no issues exist in authorized prints. After their publication Bach from 1743 or 1744 appear to be extant. An advertisement most likely destroyed or gave away the original autographs, for the Wq 49 set does show up in 1745, but this is proba- as he would do with later prints. Some autograph sketch bly not for the first printing. A composition date for each material exists for Wq 49/3 (see appendix), and some em- of the twelve sonatas is given in NV 1790; for Wq 48 the bellishments and varied reprises exist for Wq 49/6 (see dates range from 1740 to 1742, and for Wq 49 from 1742 source A), but no other source has survived that can be to 1744.

  • The Pedagogical Legacy of Johann Nepomuk Hummel
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: THE PEDAGOGICAL LEGACY OF JOHANN NEPOMUK HUMMEL. Jarl Olaf Hulbert, Doctor of Philosophy, 2006 Directed By: Professor Shelley G. Davis School of Music, Division of Musicology & Ethnomusicology Johann Nepomuk Hummel (1778-1837), a student of Mozart and Haydn, and colleague of Beethoven, made a spectacular ascent from child-prodigy to pianist- superstar. A composer with considerable output, he garnered enormous recognition as piano virtuoso and teacher. Acclaimed for his dazzling, beautifully clean, and elegant legato playing, his superb pedagogical skills made him a much sought after and highly paid teacher. This dissertation examines Hummel’s eminent role as piano pedagogue reassessing his legacy. Furthering previous research (e.g. Karl Benyovszky, Marion Barnum, Joel Sachs) with newly consulted archival material, this study focuses on the impact of Hummel on his students. Part One deals with Hummel’s biography and his seminal piano treatise, Ausführliche theoretisch-practische Anweisung zum Piano- Forte-Spiel, vom ersten Elementar-Unterrichte an, bis zur vollkommensten Ausbildung, 1828 (published in German, English, French, and Italian). Part Two discusses Hummel, the pedagogue; the impact on his star-students, notably Adolph Henselt, Ferdinand Hiller, and Sigismond Thalberg; his influence on musicians such as Chopin and Mendelssohn; and the spreading of his method throughout Europe and the US. Part Three deals with the precipitous decline of Hummel’s reputation, particularly after severe attacks by Robert Schumann. His recent resurgence as a musician of note is exemplified in a case study of the changes in the appreciation of the Septet in D Minor, one of Hummel’s most celebrated compositions.

  • NEWSLETTER of the American Handel Society
    NEWSLETTER of The American Handel Society Volume XVIII, Number 1 April 2003 A PILGRIMAGE TO IOWA As I sat in the United Airways terminal of O’Hare International Airport, waiting for the recently bankrupt carrier to locate and then install an electric starter for the no. 2 engine, my mind kept returning to David Lodge’s description of the modern academic conference. In Small World (required airport reading for any twenty-first century academic), Lodge writes: “The modern conference resembles the pilgrimage of medieval Christendom in that it allows the participants to indulge themselves in all the pleasures and diversions of travel while appearing to be austerely bent on self-improvement.” He continues by listing the “penitential exercises” which normally accompany the enterprise, though, oddly enough, he omits airport delays. To be sure, the companionship in the terminal (which included nearly a dozen conferees) was anything but penitential, still, I could not help wondering if the delay was prophecy or merely a glitch. The Maryland Handel Festival was a tough act to follow and I, and perhaps others, were apprehensive about whether Handel in Iowa would live up to the high standards set by its august predecessor. In one way the comparison is inappropriate. By the time I started attending the Maryland conference (in the early ‘90’s), it was a first-rate operation, a Cadillac among festivals. Comparing a one-year event with a two-decade institution is unfair, though I am sure in the minds of many it was inevitable. Fortunately, I feel that the experience in Iowa compared very favorably with what many of us had grown accustomed Frontispiece from William Coxe, Anecdotes fo George Frederick Handel and John Christopher Smith to in Maryland.
