Abstract
Statement of the problem. The historical context of the influence of trombone players on the performance style of European schools has not yet been studied despite the widespread use of method books “The schools of trombone playing” by all musicians, from amateurs to professionals. However, in the past, leading teachers and methodologists mainly from conservatories presented the performance trends of that time and developed new ones in their works, which guided the further development of the future generations’ performers. Recent research and publications. The issue of method books and their influence on European trombone schools was actively studied at the end of the 20th century (Guion, 1988; Lapie, 1995; Weiner, 1993, 1995, 1999 a, b). In this context, an important place belongs to the article “Slide trombone training and method books in France (1794–1960)” (Sluchin & Lapie, 1997), which contains a lot of information about method books of that period, the evolution of European trombone schools, the contribution of method books authors to the development of trombone playing in the nineteenth century and a detailed analysis of the most influential authors. The most significant recent works are dissertations that examine the history of the Paris Conservatory, the creativity of prominent trombone teachers and their works on methodology (Velázquez, 2019; Carlson, 2015). Ukrainian researchers have not studied this issue yet. The purpose of the article is to study the influence of the method books “The schools of trombone playing” on European trombone art. Research methodology. The focus of the research is to study the most famous and innovative method books of the nineteenth century. The article applies the historical and chronological approach as the leading one in the study and organization of the research material; comparative approach to find the main differences between these “schools”; systematic and analytical approach to identify the most significant differences and their influence on the development of trombone mastery; historical and cultural approach to study the process of formation of national European trombone schools. The novelty of the study is manifested in the chronological classification of all known trombone schools in the nineteenth century and a detailed analysis of the most influential ones. Results and conclusion. Having analyzes the most significant European schools of trombone playing from the very first work by A. Brown, written in 1794, to the work by J. B. Arban, we have traced the process of historical development of the technical skills of musicians and identified the sources of the European method of trombone performance. In this context, the role of France is revealed as outstanding, because the first trombone class opened at the Paris Conservatory led to the emergence of the first original “school of playing”. This was followed by a whole cascade of similar works, first in France and then in other European countries. During the nineteenth century, thanks to the aforementioned method books and the Paris Conservatory, the French had a constellation of trombone players, including: Leo Arnaud, Michel Becquet, Henri Couillaud, Paul Deliss, AntoineDieppo, VincoGlobokar, AndréLafosse, DanielLassalle, JacquesMédecin, Fabrice Millischer, Nicolas Moutier, Jérôme Naulais, Alfred Alexandre Quentin, and many others. After the French success, Germany took the initiative and, thanks to the work of Franz-Josef Fröhlich, created its own school of tromboneplaying with a large number of performers, such as Friedrich August Bellecke, Johannes Culottes, Karl Traugott Queisser, Friedrich Schenker, and Paul Weschke. Thanks to A. Wirth, in the 1870s, a British method of trombone playing emerged, and hence a number of British performers of the XIX–XX centuries, including Byron Fulcher, Lance Green, Gustav Holst, Chris Houlding, Lindsay Schilling, John Kenny, Dave Stewart, and Roger Argente.
问题的陈述。尽管从业余到专业的所有音乐家都广泛使用了“长号演奏流派”的方法书籍,但关于长号演奏者对欧洲各流派演奏风格影响的历史背景尚未得到研究。然而,在过去,主要来自音乐学院的著名教师和方法论家在他们的作品中呈现了当时的表演趋势,并发展了新的趋势,指导了后代表演者的进一步发展。最近的研究和出版物。方法书的问题及其对欧洲长号流派的影响在20世纪末得到了积极的研究(Guion, 1988;Lapie, 1995;Weiner, 1993,1995,1999 a, b)。在这一背景下,一个重要的位置属于文章“幻灯片长号训练和方法书在法国(1794-1960)”(Sluchin & Lapie, 1997),其中包含了大量关于该时期的方法书的信息,欧洲长号流派的演变,方法书作者对19世纪长号演奏发展的贡献,并对最有影响力的作者进行了详细分析。最近最重要的作品是研究巴黎音乐学院历史的论文,杰出长号教师的创造力及其方法论作品(Velázquez, 2019;卡尔森,2015)。乌克兰的研究人员还没有研究这个问题。本文的目的是研究方法书籍《长号演奏流派》对欧洲长号艺术的影响。研究方法。研究的重点是研究19世纪最著名和最具创新性的方法书籍。本文在研究材料的研究和组织中,以历史和时间顺序的方法为主导;用比较的方法找出这些“学派”之间的主要区别;用系统分析的方法找出最显著的差异及其对长号掌握发展的影响;用历史文化的方法研究欧洲民族长号流派的形成过程。这项研究的新颖之处在于对19世纪所有已知的长号流派进行了时间分类,并对最具影响力的长号流派进行了详细分析。结果与结论。分析了欧洲最重要的长号演奏流派,从1794年A. Brown的第一部作品到J. B. Arban的作品,我们追溯了音乐家技术技能的历史发展过程,并确定了欧洲长号演奏方法的来源。在这种背景下,法国的作用显得尤为突出,因为在巴黎音乐学院开设的第一个长号班导致了第一个原创的“演奏学校”的出现。随后,一大批类似的作品相继出现,先是在法国,然后在其他欧洲国家。在19世纪,由于上述的方法书籍和巴黎音乐学院,法国有了一大批长号演奏家,包括:利奥·阿诺、米歇尔·贝克、亨利·库伊约、保罗·德利斯、安东尼·迪波、温科·格洛博卡、安德雷·拉福塞、丹尼尔·拉萨勒、雅克·姆萨迪因、法布里斯·米舍尔、尼古拉斯·穆蒂埃、Jérôme诺莱、阿尔弗雷德·亚历山大·昆汀和许多其他人。在法国成功之后,德国采取了主动,并由于Franz-Josef Fröhlich的工作,创建了自己的长号演奏学校,拥有大量演奏家,如Friedrich August Bellecke, Johannes Culottes, Karl Traugott Queisser, Friedrich Schenker和Paul Weschke。由于a . Wirth,在19世纪70年代,一种英国的长号演奏方法出现了,因此出现了一些19 - 20世纪的英国演奏家,包括Byron Fulcher, Lance Green, Gustav Holst, Chris holding, Lindsay Schilling, John Kenny, Dave Stewart和Roger Argente。
