abstract: A new arrangement of the Concerto for Two Horns in E-flat Major, Hob. VIId/6, attributed by some to Franz Joseph Haydn, is presented here. The arrangement reduces the orchestral portion to ten wind instruments, specifically a double wind quintet, to facilitate performance of the work. A full score and a complete set of parts are included. In support of this new arrangement, a discussion of the early treatment of horns in pairs and the subsequent development of the double horn concerto in the eighteenth century provides historical context for the Concerto for Two Horns in E-flat major. A summary of the controversy concerning the identity of the composer of this concerto is followed by a description of the content and structure of each of its three movements. Some comments on the procedures of the arrangement complete the background information. / Dissertation/Thesis / D.M.A. Music 2011

Joseph Haydn’s final oratorio, The Seasons (1801), has consistently been neglected in performance and scholarship, particularly when compared to its earlier, more successful counterpart, The Creation (1798). A number of factors contribute to this neglect, central among them the belief that The Seasons lacked the musical innovation of Haydn’s setting of the Judeo-Christian creation story, a thought that would gain further momentum as aesthetic and musical tastes changed throughout the nineteenth century. Yet Haydn’s final oratorio is a work of remarkable musical artistry and insight, especially when considered in the context of the eighteenth-century culture of sensibility and the rise of sentimental opera, conventions with which Haydn’s would have been intimately aware given his work in opera composition and production from 1762 to 1790. By examining the ways in which Hanne, one of the three central characters in The Seasons, is constructed as sentimental in van Swieten’s libretto and Haydn’s score, I demonstrate how the librettist and composer engage the trope of the sentimental heroine. Hanne features many of the expected qualities: she is chaste, virtuous, and possesses refined sensibility and sensitivity. Furthermore, her singing style is firmly rooted in sentimental traditions. Yet her music is also imbued with coloratura and musical markers of nobility. Through these musical choices and by textually defining Hanne through joy rather than suffering and pathos, Haydn and van Swieten depart from typical constructions to rethink the sentimental heroine. Therefore, in his final major musico-dramatic work, Haydn experiments with one of the central operatic tropes of the eighteenth century. In being aware of this feature, we might simultaneously arrive at a renewed appreciation for The Seasons and of Haydn’s abilities as a musical dramatist. / Graduate

From Introduction: In the middle of the eighteenth century, when Haydn began composing his first string quartets, violin writing was highly advanced and the violin an established solo instrument, its supremacy already firmly endorsed by the Italian Violin Schools of the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. The pace of development of the cello, however, was not comparable to that of the violin, despite the fact that the first cello known to us was made in 1572.

Para isto, selecionamos críticas de jornais e revistas do século XVIII que discorrem sobre esses aspectos da produção haydniana. No sentido de possibilitar a melhor compreensão do sentido setecentista desses termos, é necessário tratar também de outros conceitos relacionados a eles: a idéia de cômico e as visões setecentistas sobre o riso. Estas informações estão contidas em obras teóricas sobre as artes do século XVIII, como a enciclopédia sobre as artes de Sulzer (1771-74) e a estética musical de Schubart (1784). A recuperação destas noções é utilizada para obter uma melhor compreensão das críticas escritas a Haydn em sua própria época. Elas apresentam visões negativas ou positivas de Haydn, e, com os fundamentos teóricos, é possível atribuir seus conteúdos a premissas conservadoras, de orientação retórica, ou que seguiam as tendências da disciplina então recém surgida, a estética. Assim, as críticas a Haydn permitem criar subsídios para estudar o humor e a agudeza em obras que indubitavelmente representam o estilo maduro destes compositor: os quartetos de cordas op. 33 (1781) / Abstract: This investigation proposes a study of the theoretical context that involves the works of Joseph Haydn (1732-1809), concentrating in the ideas of humor and wit [Witz]. This ideas have been related to the music of Haydn since his own time. Therefore, we selected some eighteenth century journal and magazine critics that involves these aspects of his production. In order to have a better comprehension of the eighteenth century meaning of these concepts, it is necessary to handle also other related notions: the idea of comic and the Eighteenth-Century visions about laughter, contained in works like the arts encyclopedia by Sulzer (1771-74) and the music aesthetic by Schubart (1784). These notions enables us to have a better comprehension of the eighteenth century critics involving the music of Haydn. They contain negative or positive visions about his music, and it is possible to attribute this visions to conservative, rhetorically oriented, or to aesthetic (then a recently created discipline) premises. These critics allow us to create subsidies to observe how humor and wit occur in works that undoubtedly represent Haydn¿s mature style: the string quartets op. 33 (1781) / Doutorado / Doutor em Música

[EN] As far as I know, no research has been done so far on the reception of Joseph Haydn's music, particularly that concerning the liturgical repertoire, in Latin, in the main centres of production of church music in the Valencian Community. The first source with music by Haydn, dated in Valencia in 1789, when the musician's composing activity was at its best -the organ part of the "Grosse Orgelsolomesse" ("Great Organ Solo Mass")-, appears n Valencia only three years after he composed Die sieben letzten Worte unseres Erlösers am Kreuze ("The Seven Last Words of our Saviour on the Cross") commissioned to Haydn by the Hermandad of the Santa Cueva in Cadiz. On the other hand, the number of compositions wrongly attributed to Joseph Haydn is, in all probability, much higher when it comes to church music than any other genre, which offers a wide and interesting field to study. / [ES] Hasta donde conozco, no se ha realizado hasta la fecha un estudio sobre la recepción de la música, particularmente en lo referido al repertorio litúrgico -en latín- de Joseph Haydn, en los principales centros de producción musical eclesiástica de la Comunidad Valenciana. La primera fuente con música de Haydn datada en Valencia, en 1789, en plena actividad compositiva del músico de Rohrau -la parte para el órgano de la "Grosse Orgelsolomesse" ("Gran misa para solo de órgano")-, aparece en Valencia sólo tres años después de la composición de Die sieben letzten Worte unseres Erlösers am Kreuze ("Las siete últimas palabras de nuestro salvador en la cruz"), fruto del encargo que hiciera la iglesia de la Santa Cueva de Cádiz al compositor. Por lo demás, el número de atribuciones de composiciones, equivocadamente adjudicadas a Joseph Haydn es, seguramente en el campo de la música de iglesia, mucho mayor que en otros géneros, lo que ofrece un amplio e interesante campo sobre el cual poder investigar. / [CAT] Fins hui, no s'ha fet cap estudi sobre la recepció de la música, en particular el cas referit al repertori litúrgic -en llatí- de Joseph Haydn, en els principals centres de producció musical eclesiàstica de la Comunitat Valenciana. La primera font amb música de Haydn datada en València, en 1789, en plena activitat compositiva del músic de Rohrau -la part per a l'orgue de la "Grosse Orgelsolomesse" ("Gran Missa per a solo d'orgue")-, apareix en València només tres anys després de la composició de Die sieben letzten Worte unseres Erlösers am Kreuze ("Les set paraules de nostre Salvador en la Creu"), fruit del encàrrec que fera la cofraria de la Santa Cova de Cádiz al compositor. A banda d'això, el nombre d'atribucions de composicions, adjudicades per equivocació a Joseph Haydn és, segurament en el camp de la música d'església, molt més gran que en altres gèneres, la qual cosa oferix un ampli i interessant camp sobre el que poder investigar. / Aparisi Aparisi, J.
