{"title":"Walsh in Europe and Beyond: Dissemination and Reception of English Music Prints in the 18th Century","authors":"Gesa zur Nieden, Berthold Over","doi":"10.1017/S1478570623000210","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1017/S1478570623000210","url":null,"abstract":"Music manuscripts and prints from the eighteenth century have increasingly been regarded by scholars of early-modern music historiography as integral components not only of musical performances, but also of music-based sociability and various forms of exchange and reception. Two historical figures who relate to all of these issues are the London publishers John Walsh (1665/1666– 1736) and his son of the same name (1709–1766), who printed and distributed dances, instrumental pieces, selected arias and entire aria corpuses from operas and oratorios between 1694 and 1766. Research on their prints has so far taken place largely in Britain, and has focused for the most part on George Frideric Handel and on printing techniques. The conference ‘Walsh in Europe and Beyond’, held at the Alfried Krupp Wissenschaftskolleg Greifswald and at the Universität Greifswald, extended this field through a systematic investigation of European and international sheet-music collections, their provenance and the traces of their use. Its aim was to uncover Europe-wide and global distribution channels, user groups and the aesthetic or political functions of eighteenth-century music. The papers presented over the two and a half days were mainly grouped into regional areas. In our introduction, we (Gesa zur Nieden (Universität Greifswald) and Berthold Over (Universität Greifswald)) pointed to several points of departure when investigating the distribution and function of Walsh’s prints in Europe. The presence of these publications in the British Isles and Continental Europe offers many hints: frequent maritime trade facilitated the shipping of these prints, while individuals and diplomatic networks functioned as intermediaries and conduits for transmission. The uses of the Walsh prints are difficult to define with certainty; they seem to flow between categories of material for domestic music-making and objects for remembering performances, promoting celebrity and sharing in contemporaneous discourses about opera. In his keynote address ‘Cultural Transfer in Music in the Age of Enlightenment: Methodology and Research Questions’Martin Eybl (Universität für Musik und darstellende Kunst Wien), starting with Gottfried van Swieten’s order for English prints, painted a cultural-historical picture that linked dissemination to the concepts of influence, cultural transfer, reception and mobility/migration, as well as discourses on translation studies and histoire croisée. He identified several aspects and agents related to the distribution of music: the buying public, cultural localization, mediators of musical material (arrangers, compilers) and limitations (such as regions not using Roman typeface, as in the case of Russia). In his paper ‘The Music Editions of John Walsh Junior and His Successors: Working Practices, Publishing Strategies and Reception’, Donald Burrows (The Open University, Milton Keynes) offered a comprehensive insight into Walsh’s operating principles and policies","PeriodicalId":11521,"journal":{"name":"Eighteenth Century Music","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82516471","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This concept, which broadly refers to the substitution of one culture for another, could be used to characterize the process of arrival and initial diffusion in Spain of what we now call ‘ classical music ’ . Proof that it was felt as a threat to Spanish culture is the journalistic polemic within which, at the end of the eighteenth century, the expression ‘ national music ’ was used for the first time. The controversial repertories were Italian opera and the music of Haydn, both of which delighted some of the country ’ s elite groups (see Teresa Cascudo, ‘ Territory is the Key: A Look at the Birth of “ National Music ” in Spain (1799 – 1803) ’ , in Confronting the National in the Musical Past , ed. Elaine Kelly, Markus Mantere and Derek Scott (London: Routledge, 2018), 196 – 207). The adoption by the elite of the musical practices associated with these repertories, and particularly in the case of the string quartet, has been considered as part of a much more comprehensive ‘ civilizing ’ process, to use the expression of Norbert Elias (see Carolina Queipo, ‘ Prácticas musicales y procesos de civilización de la élite financiera y comercial en la España de Fernando VII: el caso de A Coruña ’ , in Procesos de civilización: culturas de élites, culturas populares.

From the back cover, readers learn that the monograph has garnered praise from leading literary critic Sianne Ngai and that Carolyn Abbate refers to it as a ‘ tour-de-force ’ . In the course of four chapters on operatic and instrumental music, Peculiar Attunements traces a central transformation in musical aesthetics, all while claiming to provide a new history of affect that places music at the centre of its discussion. First, Grant shows how early-modern and eighteenth-century music critics replaced the doctrine of mimesis – in which artworks produce human affects by imitating worldly things – with a concept that privileged an understanding of the individual body ’ s capacity to apprehend indeterminate reverberations. This is what Grant calls the notion of attunement. Second, the book discusses the persistence of eighteenth-century modes of musical attunement in affect theory today. Grant thus formulates his thesis as a critique, one that traces ‘ the structure of events in intellectual history that created these parallel historical turns away from representation and toward affect ’ (23). A self-avowed work of intellectual history, Peculiar Attunements surveys a combination of sources in aesthetic theory, canonical and otherwise","PeriodicalId":11521,"journal":{"name":"Eighteenth Century Music","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87426191","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Telemann Studies Wolfgang Hirschmann and Steven Zohn, eds Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2022 pp. xxxii + 344, ISBN 978 1 108 49383 3","authors":"Barbara M. Reul","doi":"10.1017/S1478570623000155","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1017/S1478570623000155","url":null,"abstract":"When Georg Philipp Telemann (1681–1767) applied for, and subsequently turned down, the vacant post of Thomaskantor in Leipzig, in 1722, he probably did not expect a major English-language publication bearing his last name to grace (real and virtual) bookshelves three centuries later. Telemann Studies is a ground-breaking work that comprises important contributions by sixteen scholars based in Germany, the USA and Japan. They met at Temple University in October 2017 to mark the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of Telemann’s death and ponder the topic ‘Georg Philipp Telemann: Enlightenment and Postmodern Perspectives’. That it took almost five years for these exemplary conference proceedings to appear in print was no surprise to this reviewer. After all, its editors, Wolfgang Hirschmann (Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg) and Steven Zohn (Temple University), are not only the two leading Telemann scholars in their respective native languages, but are also known for their high scholarly standards. For them to collaborate is a stroke of luck as far as global Telemann research is concerned. According to its back cover, this book – which is divided into five parts – attempts to remedy the limited availability of English-language literature on Telemann by examining specific aspects of his life, music and legacy. To that end, the editors provide an unusually lengthy Preface. It begins with a superb overview of how (German) Telemann scholarship developed over the course of the twentieth century; this part of the preface would have made a wonderful separate introductory chapter. Comprehensive summaries of each chapter follow, with the editors taking great pains to explain the authors’ methodological approaches and highlight research findings. This ‘representative cross-section of Telemann studies in the early twenty-first century’ (xxii) is a must-read for anyone who wants to know more about the most influential German composer of the first half of the eighteenth century. To that end, Zohn has skillfully translated chapters written by German scholars Carsten Lange, Nina Eichholz and Ralph-Jürgen Reipsch into English. ‘Enlightenment perspectives’ are explored in part 1. First, Zohn outlines the different ways in which Telemann handled the musical past in two of his Frankfurt cantatas, Sehet an die Exempel der Alten (TVWV1:1259) and Erhöre mich, wenn ich rufe (TVWV1:459). Hirschmann then shifts to the composer’s French pastoral dramas and scrutinizes his little-known (and uncatalogued) Pastorelle en musique from 1714. Telemann’s commentary on the ‘Augenorgel’, or ‘harpsichord for the eye’, is the focus of Joyce Z. Lindorff’s chapter; she draws attention to the eight translations that appeared between 1739 and 1757 in French, Latin and German. In part 2, ‘Urban and Courtly Contexts’, Carsten Lange painstakingly examines Telemann’s connection to the city of Lüneburg, specifically to the local pastor and theologian Roger Brown, who copied some of Te","PeriodicalId":11521,"journal":{"name":"Eighteenth Century Music","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83282407","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Turner","doi":"10.1017/S1478570623000192","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1017/S1478570623000192","url":null,"abstract":"In mid-February scholars and performers gathered in San José to address what some might think are long-answered questions. What was chamber music around the turn of the nineteenth century? What were its conventions, contours and uses? Who listened to it, played it and paid for it? The presenters and participants at ‘Chamber Scenes: Musical Space, Medium, and Genre c. 1800’ amply addressed these questions and others. The conference was hosted by the Ira F. Brilliant Center for Beethoven Studies at San José State University, and adroitly organized by Erica Buurman, director of the Center, and Nicholas Mathew of the University of California Berkeley. Although this was not specifically a conference on Beethoven, Ludwig loomed large, as he is likely to at any conference on instrumental music around the year 1800, and particularly one held at a centre for Beethoven scholarship. In the wake of the unexpectedly curtailed ‘Beethoven year’ of 2020, there was palpable enjoyment among attendees at the meeting of colleagues and friends, and much to appreciate about being together in physical space to present and experience a variety of thought-provoking and enjoyable papers and performances. A number of presentations focused productively on questions of genre, with particular attention paid to dismantling (or at least complicating) the oppositional dualities common in chamber-music scholarship. As Ellen Lockhart (University of Toronto) observed in her paper, the widely accepted definition of chamber music both invokes and invites binaries: public/private, commercial/aesthetic, male/female and professional/amateur, among others. In the first of three lecture-recitals at the conference, Erica Buurman, assisted by the Takács Quartet and historical dance expert Joan Walton (San José State University), demonstrated the heretofore underexplored influences of ballroom and social dance on the second movement of Beethoven’s String Quartet Op. 132. Considering the binary between ‘bodily’ music (in this case, music for dance) and ‘cerebral’ music, Buurman suggested that, contrary to the ideologies of critics such as Eduard Hanslick, chamber music drew on the former as well as the latter. Lockhart too engaged with a binary that might seem inherent in the genre: that of instrumental versus vocal music. Tracing the origins of the term ‘chamber music’, she suggested the term’s indebtedness to baroque vocal genres, and observed the continuing presence of vocality in later chamber music, as in the cavatina movement of Beethoven’s String Quartet Op. 130. Sarah Waltz (University of the Pacific) complicated the aforementioned public/ private binary in an English context, noting that the repertoire for ‘public’ stage concerts and ‘private’ house concerts may not have differed as widely as one might think. ‘Domestic’ chamber genres were often performed publicly, just as ‘larger’ genres, like the concerto, sometimes found their place in domestic venues.

He was a child prodigy – contemporary reports reveal that he was performing publicly at the age of eleven – and pupil of Francesco Geminiani (1687–1762), with whom he maintained a lifelong friendship. In 1728 Dubourg was made Master of the State Musick in Ireland following the death of Johann Sigismund Cousser (1660–1727), who had held the position since 1716. Geminiani, who had first been offered the position, declined it on account of being a Roman Catholic (other theories for Geminiani’s refusal are advanced in Enrico Careri, Francesco Geminiani (1687–1762) (Oxford: Clarendon, 1993), 21). Dubourg’s position as Master required him to compose odes to celebrate the birthdays of the British monarchs in Dublin. Surviving poetry, newspaper reports and music suggest that he composed an unbroken series of two odes per year until his death. Dubourg’s other compositions survive in various eighteenth-century manuscripts and publications. These include dances – minuets, jigs and ‘Dubourg’s Maggott’, for instance – some songs and his ‘graces’ for Corelli’s Op. 5 violin sonatas (on the last see Neal Zaslaw, ‘Ornaments for Corelli’s Violin Sonatas, Op. 5’, Early Music 24/1 (1996), 95–116, and Robert E. Seletsky, ‘18th-Century Variations for Corelli’s Sonatas, Op. 5’, Early Music 24/1 (1996), 119– 130). Dubourg’s most popular work was undoubtedly his variations on the traditional Irish song ‘Eibhlín a Rún’, first published for harpsichord in 1746 (Select Minuets, collected from the Castle Balls, and the Publick Assemblies in Dublin. Composed by the best Masters . . . to which is added Eleena Roon by Mr. Dubourgh, set to the Harpsichord with his Variations (Dublin: William Mainwaring), held at The National Library of Ireland, Dublin (IRL-Dn), Add. Mus. 9013). This publication was advertised in The Dublin Journal for 27–30 December 1746. Despite this substantial compositional output, Dubourg is not well known as a composer. Somewhat addressing this neglect is a recording by the Irish Baroque Orchestra, which mostly features works composed by Dubourg. This album – ‘Welcome Home, Mr Dubourg’ (Linn CKD 532, 2019) – was reviewed by David Rhodes (Eighteenth-Century Music 17/2 (2020), 281–285), who provided a thorough and thoughtful account of its contents, the merit of their inclusion and their context in relation to what we know of Dubourg’s life and career. Unsurprisingly, it includes Dubourg’s variations on ‘Eibhlín a Rún’ and Corelli’s Violin Sonata in A major Op. 5 No. 9 with Dubourg’s graces. The recording features excerpts from the birthday odes for Dublin Castle as well as the ode for George II’s birthday in 1739 in its entirety. Much of the music is not extant, but the autograph manuscripts for this ode and the excerpts included on the recording are held at the Royal College of ","PeriodicalId":11521,"journal":{"name":"Eighteenth Century Music","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75133306","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
