Příspěvek se zabývá hudební analýzou melodických linií v Symfoniích č. 42-47 (ED. 10: D21, F8, Bb8, Eb6, G10 and C11) J. Myslivečka. Detailně jsou zkoumány následující aspekty: instrumentace basových linií, oktávová zdvojení melodie v rámci hudební věty, podíl smyčcových a žesťových nástrojů na provedení melodie. Symfonie jsou srovnávány s Myslivečkovou orchestrální operní hudbou ze stejného období, která využívá identickou instrumentaci, stejně tak s podobně instrumentovanými symfoniemi W. A Mozarta z období 1772-1774. Cílem komparace je určit společné jmenovatele děl obou tvůrců, dále definovat specifický kompoziční rukopis J. Myslivečka.

On the Instrumentation of the Melody Line of Joseph Mysliveček's Symphonies Nos. 42-47

The aim of this paper is to look at the design of the melody line in J. Mysliveček's Symphonies nos. 42-47 (ED. 10: D21, F8, Bb8, Eb6, G10 and C11) from a music-analytical perspective. The following aspects are presented in details: instrumentation of the bass line, octave doublings of the melody line within a movement, as well as the participation of the low strings and the brass section in the performance of the melody. These symphonies will then be compared with opera symphonies from the same period which also have the same instrumentation, in order to find differences and similarities between them. Furthermore, J. Mysliveček's symphonies are compared to symphonies by W. A. Mozart of the same period (1772-1774) with the same instrumentation to determine relationships on the one hand, and to stress special features of the symphonic works of J. Mysliveček on the other hand.
