Dittersdorf jako člověk

Dittersdorf's Personality

Petr Koukal

Musicologica Olomucensia vol. 30, (2019):9-31 | DOI: 10.5507/mo.2019.011  

The author of the paper searches for the answer as to what Carl Ditters von Dittersdorf's personality was like. In the case of this composer, we not only have his own biography, but also numerous archive evidence preserved in this country. The answer to such a question needs to be sought already in his childhood. His father was not only a theatre tailor, as stated in the existing domestic literary sources, but the imperial and theatre embroider. The contacts of his father in theatre circles and the nobility apparently influenced Dittersdorf's future life, among other things his interest in opera. The author also observes how Dittersdorf's personality...

Carl Ditters von Dittersdorf was one of the most productive composers of 1700s, which is also reflected by several hundred records in the central evidence of music resources in the Czech Republic, the Union Catalogue of Music (SHK) of the National Library of the Czech Republic. Coincidentally, the catalogue was established by the musicologist Oldřich Pulkert (1929-2016), who devoted many years to Ditters' works. His last, unfortunately unfinished, project was a thematic catalogue of Dittersdorf's works that were found in Pulkert's estate. The paper informs about the representation of Dittersiana in SHK and the form of Pulkert's catalogue, and proposes...

Jana Spáčilová

Musicologica Olomucensia vol. 30, (2019):39-56 | DOI: 10.5507/mo.2019.013  

The study focuses on the relationship between Carl Ditters and Olomouc, particularly to the music ensembles of Olomouc bishops, which has not yet been the subject of targeted research interest. The contribution documents Ditters' compositions in the repertoire of Olomouc churches with a particular focus on the St. Wenceslas Cathedral whose music ensemble was led by Josef Puschmann, and the pilgrimage church at Svatý Kopeček [the Holy Hill] near Olomouc, where the oldest copy of Ditters' Missa solemnis in C (Krebs 327) from the year 1770 is preserved. The study also investigates Ditters' works in the archbishop's library in Kroměříž, acquired...

Recepce Dittersovy operní tvorby v zámeckém divadle řádu německých rytířů v Bruntále

Perception of Ditters' Opera Works in the Castle Theatre of the Teutonic Knights in Bruntál

Markéta Haničáková

Musicologica Olomucensia vol. 30, (2019):57-69 | DOI: 10.5507/mo.2019.014  

The paper briefly introduces the castle theatre in the residence of the order of Teutonic Knights in Bruntál, in particular its operation, repertoire, reprise rate of opera works and turnout. It also mentions the relationships between the Bruntál music-theatre stage and the nearby opera centres in Silesia and Northern Moravia at the turn of the 1800s, which had an important influence on the establishment of the repertoire of the castle theatre. The paper focuses on the personalities of the Bruntál theatre stage - Franz Josef Krones and especially Franz Josef von Thürheim, as well as on the transfer of sheet music among the neighbouring theatre centres,...

Dittersovy skladby ve schwarzenberské hudební sbírce a v hudebním životě knížecího dvora

Ditters' Compositions in the Schwarzenberg Music Collection and the Music Life of the Princely Court

Martin Voříšek

Musicologica Olomucensia vol. 30, (2019):70-94 | DOI: 10.5507/mo.2019.015  

From the perspective of the number of Dittersdorf's compositions preserved, the Schwarzenberg music collection is a relatively small, but very valuable one, particularly in the field of orchestral music. Some of the copies preserved here could be considered unique with regard to the present state of investigation (although their authorship is therefore questionable). Despite this fact, this source of information on Ditters' music presently remains rather unknown, and for instance in the RISM catalogue it is recorded only partially. The aim of this study is therefore to create a more detailed overview of the identified Dittersiana, as well as to reflect...

Instrumentální tvorba Carla Ditterse von Dittersdorfa u pařížských nakladatelů

Instrumental Works of Carl Ditters von Dittersdorf at Paris Publishers

Jana Franková

Musicologica Olomucensia vol. 30, (2019):95-115 | DOI: 10.5507/mo.2019.016  

The production of Paris publishers in the second half of the 1700s is considered the most fruitful in contemporary Europe; as such it also significantly contributed to the dissemination of the repertoire of foreign authors, including composers from Central Europe. Carl Ditters von Dittersdorf ranks among the best-known Viennese composers of his generation, and it was perhaps even thanks to his success with Paris publishers that an awareness of his works has been preserved up until the present. Paris prints of his compositions belong to the very first editions; they appeared since 1766 and the greatest increase in the number of works published came...

Současný stav bádání o životě a díle Carla Ditterse von Dittersdorfa v Polsku

Recent State of Research on the Life and Work of Carl Ditters von Dittersdorf in Poland

Agnieszka Drożdżewska

Musicologica Olomucensia vol. 30, (2019):116-130 | DOI: 10.5507/mo.2019.017  

The paper presents the current state of research conducted by Polish scholars in the field of exploration and analysis of sources related to the work of Carl Ditters von Dittersdorf. This Vienesse-based composer played an important role in shaping the image of musical culture of Silesia at the end of the 18th century, especially due to his activity as a director of music at the bishop's court in Javorník castle. Another reason was his artistic contacts with most important cultural centers of the entire region, such as Wrocław, Nysa, Bílá Voda and Oleśnica.First remarks concerning preserved sources on Dittersdorf in Poland appeared in 1960s in various...

Anton Neumann. New Findings on the Life and Work of a Forgotten Composer, Violinist and Kapellmeister

Marek Čermák

Musicologica Olomucensia vol. 30, (2019):131-152 | DOI: 10.5507/mo.2019.018  

Anton Neumann (1721-1776) was a composer, violinist and Kapellmeister whose numerous original compositions are preserved in domestic as well as foreign music collections. The aim of the study is to introduce new findings on Neumann's life and point out the importance of his preserved works, many of which manifest features of the "Sturm und Drang" style. Thanks to their characteristic composition style, Neumann's works even enable us to determine the authorship for materials where the first name is missing. An extensive research project has demonstrated that his works are included in collections in Central, and partly also Western, Northern and...

Johann Georg Orsler - A Silesian Musician in the Service of the Nobility and Questions Regarding His Work

Václav Kapsa

Musicologica Olomucensia vol. 30, (2019):153-165 | DOI: 10.5507/mo.2019.019  

Originally a Silesian musician, Johann Georg Orsler (or Orschler) was active in many places that are important for the music history of the Czech Lands: he was sent by the Count of Zerotin to study music at Rosetter and Fux in Vienna; in 1720s his activities are documented in Prague, followed by Moravia and Vienna in the service of Johann Matthias of Thurn and Valsassina, Count Franz Anton von Rottal, Count Joseph Johann Adam of Liechtenstein, or Count Thomas Vinciguerra of Collalto. The study summarizes the currently known biographic facts, and searches for the answer to the question of which of the prevalently instrumental compositions preserved...
