The thesis speculates on the possible influence of Mozart's Requiem on Cherubini's Requiem in D Minor, concluding that Cherubini's setting of the Sequence ("Dies irae") was indeed influenced by Mozart's setting of this liturgical text both on the micro and macro levels.

De nombreux préjugés entourant les sonates pour piano de Mozart, notamment leur trop grande simplicité, font en sorte qu’elles ne font pas partie du répertoire de prédilection (Newman 1983). De manière générale, les problèmes d’interprétation reliés à la musique de Mozart ont souvent été relevés (Badura-Skoda 1980; Levin 1992; Ogata 2012) et sa musique instrumentale a fait l’objet d’analyses comparatives avec sa musique vocale (Chantavoine 1948; Keefe 2001; Klorman, 2013). Plus précisément, Jones (1985) compare les sonates pour piano de Mozart avec ses opéras, mais ne suggère pas un renouvellement concret du jeu pianistique –et donc une revalorisation de ce répertoire. De plus, Irving soutient que la sonate K.457 emprunte le langage de l’opéra (1997: 100): «The material is of narrative, even dramatic kind. This is evident from the beginning, which presents a dialogue suggestive of two radically conflicting characters, [...]» (Irving 2010 : 99). Nous aborderons donc la sonate K.457 en tant que «récit» au sens de Grabócz (2009b), c’est-à-dire: des productions sonores qui se déroulent comme une «intrigue». Ainsi, suivant une démarche narratologique, en quoi un examen des stratégies d’écriture opératiques de Mozart permettrait-il de mieux comprendre celles présentes dans la sonate K.457 ? Comment cette approche pourrait-elle influencer notre jeu pianistique ? Nous associerons d’abord les paramètres musicaux caractérisant quelques personnages de certains des opéras de Mozart (Idomeneo 1781, Die Entführung aus dem Serail 1782, Le Nozze di Figaro 1786, Don Giovanni 1789, Die Zauberflöte 1791) aux éléments musicaux propres au 1er mouvement de la sonate K / Mozart’s piano sonatas suffer from prejudices, such as unnecessary difficulties, which lead pianists to set this music aside(Newman 1983). Mozart’s performance practice is often discussed (Badura-Skoda 1980; Levin 1992; Ogata 2012) and his instrumental music is the purpose of many comparative analysiswith his vocal music (Chantavoine 1948; Keefe 2001; Klorman, 2013). More precisely, Jones’ (1985) compares Mozart’s piano sonatas with his operas, but he does not propose new interpretation tools. Moreover, Irving suggests that Mozart’s piano sonata K.457 shows an operatic language (1997 : 100): «The material is of narrative, even dramatic kind. This is evident from the beginning, which presents a dialogue suggestive of two radically conflicting characters, [...]» (Irving 2010: 99).Thus, this work will be regarded as a “story” following Grabócz’s definition (2009), whic his, sounds’continuity taking the form of a plot . How could narratology give a new understanding of the writing strategies specific to the first movement of this sonata? How could it influence our influence our own piano playing? We will first compare writing strategies related to the opera’s characters appearing at the same time in some of Mozart’soperas(Idomeneo 1781, Die Entführung aus demSerail 1782, Le Nozze di Figaro 1786, Don Giovanni 1789, Die Zauberflöte 1791) and in this movement. These similarities will then be associated with Grabócz’s “figures dynamiques de la mise en intrigue”, which are “suspense” and “curiosity”. Finally, we will take a look at how these analyses influencedour interpretation of this work, and how our creative process impacted our researches.

The purpose of this study was to create a document which would provide a variety of insights into Mozart's Trio in E-Flat, K. 498, for piano, clarinet, and viola. Three specific areas were investigated. A melodic analysis of the work was developed with the intention of illuminating the structure of the musical material itself. This analysis explored the dual forces of unity and contrast. Specific motivic shapes were explored which serve to unite the various thematic areas of the work; other elements were identified which are consistently utilized to create contrast and conflict.Secondly, the writer undertook a comparison of current editions of K. 498. Editions were identified as one of three types. Those editions identified as Authentic sought to reflect Mozart's original manuscript; Interpretive editions presented an editorial view of the Trio. Imitative editions were developed entirely from previously existing editions. Comparisons were made both within individual categories as well as between categories. The writer conducted a personal investigation of Mozart's manuscript which provided valuable information regarding the authenticity of certain passages.The study concluded with an investigation of current views on the presentation of K. 498 in performance. Information was obtained from recorded performances of the Trio. In addition, the writer conducted a survey of the opinions of teachers and performers. Comments on the revision of specific passages relative to pitch are included, as well as opinions on tempo, meter, dynamics, articulations, stresses, balance, the interpretation of specific phrases, and musical character. / School of Music

Este trabalho trata do processo de transcrição do Concerto em Dó Maior K 299 para Flauta e Harpa de Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. O objetivo geral foi a transcrição da parte da harpa do concerto para violão de sete cordas. Por meio da análise comparativa de transcrições do próprio compositor do concerto e do estudo de referencial teórico, foram classificados os procedimentos necessários para a realização da transcrição, que são: compressão de registro, supressão de notas, mudança na disposição de notas, e transferência da parte da harpa para a orquestra. Esses procedimentos vão diretamente ao encontro da adaptação idiomática e musical ao instrumento para o qual verte a transcrição, e à fidelidade ao original da obra. Concluiu-se, por fim, que a transcrição de uma obra, deve se embasar em uma metodologia aplicada, que defina as diretrizes do processo e adapte a linha composicional do original às escolhas pessoais do transcritor. / The present work deals with the Concerto in C Major for Flute and Harp K299 by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The main objective was the transcription of the Harp part of the concerto for a seven-string guitar. Through comparative analysis of transcriptions made by the composer himself, along with further reading, the necessary procedures to accomplish this transcription were identified and classified. They are: range compression, suppression of notes, change in the disposition of notes and the transference of accompaniment material from the harp part to the orchestra. Such procedures agree with an idiomatic and musical adaptation for the target instrument, while remaining accurate to the original work. It was concluded that the transcription of a work must be based on an applied methodology that define the guidelines and adapt the original compositional idiom to the personal choices of the transcriber.

This thesis deals with a chamber music, especially for a woodwind instruments in the classicism. In the beginning we focus on the general aspects of the classicism and thereafter we continuously approach a musical classicism which we divide into three periods. Following chapters deal with the masters of classical and preromantic music - W. A. Mozart, L. v. Beethoven and A. Rejcha

Is conducting from the piano "real conducting?" Does one need formal orchestral conducting training in order to conduct classical-era piano concertos from the piano? Do Mozart piano concertos need a conductor? These are all questions this paper attempts to answer.
