O regime da cidade virtuosa é o tema central dos escritos políticos de Alfrb÷ levando a uma ordem política cujos princípios são a realização da excelência humana ou da virtude, conduzindo à atividades úteis à aquisição da perfeição e da felicidade, pois o homem não se torna perfeito meramente pelos princípios naturais presentes nele e ele não é eternamente perfeito, mas precisa adquirir sua perfeição através da atividade que procede da compreensão racional, da deliberação e da escolha entre várias alternativas sugeridas pela razão. / The virtuous regime is the central theme of Alfrb÷s political writings and theres a political order whose guiding principles are the realization of human excellence or virtue, taking to activities useful to the achievement of perfection and happiness. Man is not rendered perfect merely through the natural principles present in him and he is not eternally perfect, but need to achieve his perfection through the activity proceeding from rational understanding, deliberation and choosing among the various alternatives suggested by reason.

Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsodies are uniformly considered highly challenging in terms of technical execution. However, their artistic value is frequently questioned. This dissertation examines the compositional elements that are often overlooked in these virtuoso works, and provides a viewpoint into their interpretative characteristics. Furthermore, it pursues a claim that besides being excellent performance pieces, these works also make an intriguing contribution to Liszt scholarship, and deserve meaningful consideration in terms of their artistic quality. Following the Introduction (Chapter 1), Chapter 2 provides a brief historical perspective of the critical affirmation Liszt the composer encountered from the musical society. It also includes a short background on Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsodies, as well as the general reactions these works evoked from pianists, audiences, and scholars, during the time they were composed to the present day. As the main body of the dissertation, Chapter 3 investigates the three primary compositional concepts found in Rhapsodies Nos. 6, 10, and 12. These concepts are divided into three subchapters: Transformation of Themes, Controlled Pianistic Textures, and Coloristic Effects. Each of these subchapters provides explanatory information, as well as some of the most characteristic passages presented.

La version intégrale de ce mémoire est disponible uniquement pour consultation individuelle à la Bibliothèque de musique de l'Université de Montréal (http://www.bib.umontreal.ca/MU). / La carrière du pianiste-compositeur Émiliano Renaud (1875-1932) est peu connue. Surnommé le «Paderewski canadien», il est le premier virtuose québécois à avoir établi, à l’instar du maître polonais, de nouveaux standards dans la présentation des récitals, à une époque où ces concerts affichaient surtout des programmes constitués d’extraits de pièces rarement exécutés par un seul interprète et proposés la plupart du temps, sous forme de pot-pourri. Il est également le premier musicien à avoir utilisé la nouvelle technologie de la radio à des fins pédagogiques et l’un des rares compositeurs de l’époque à avoir été édité aux États-Unis. Formé à Vienne et à Berlin auprès de virtuoses renommés, il poursuit d’abord une carrière d’enseignant au Conservatoire d’Indianapolis avant de s’installer à New York du-rant quelques années où il élabore une méthode d’apprentissage du piano. Il revient défini-tivement à Montréal en 1921 et s’implique dans de nombreuses activités musicales : récitals, composition, enseignement et édition. Notre recherche, la première sur le sujet, retrace les principaux jalons de la carrière de ce virtuose du piano au début du vingtième siècle, tout en la situant dans le contexte cul-turel et musical de l’époque. Nous souhaitons ainsi réhabiliter un musicien relégué injuste-ment dans l’oubli après son décès et qui a contribué, à sa manière, au développement de la vie musicale du Québec; tout en nous interrogeant sur la perception de la virtuosité dans la presse musicale de cette époque. Les annexes offrent quelques points de repère dont une chronologie, une liste de son répertoire ainsi qu’un inventaire de ses œuvres. / Little is known of the career of composer and pianist Émiliano Renaud (1875-1932). Called the “Canadian Paderewski”, Renaud is the first Quebec virtuoso to have set up, as his Polish master, new standards in recitals, at a time when concerts mainly offered programs made of a mixture of excerpts rarely played by a single interpreter. Émiliano Renaud is also the first musician to have used the new technology of the radio for pedagogical purposes, as well as one of the few composers of the time to have had his works edited in the United States. Trained in Vienna and Berlin by renowned masters, he first pursued a teaching career at Indianapolis Music School before moving to New York for a few years, where he created a piano learning method. He moved permanently to Montreal in 1921 and was involved in numerous musical activities: giving recitals, composing, teaching and editing. This study, the first on the subject, traces the landmarks of Renaud’s career as a virtuoso at the beginning of the twentieth century. It offers a broad cultural and musical frame through which to assess the artist’s achievements. One of the main aims of this research is to rehabilitate Émiliano Renaud, undeservedly cast into oblivion after his death. This rehabilitation is all the more necessary as Renaud contributed, in his own way, to developing Quebec’s musical life. In a related way, this study also tackles the issue of the reception of the phenomenon of virtuosity by the critics at that period. Annexes provide benchmarks, including a chronology, a list of the musician’s repertoire, and an inventory of his works.

My thesis concerns the life of Clara Schumann (1819 - 1896), a major German concert pianist of the 19th century. It includes a list of her compositions and it describes her activities in piano pedagogy. Through the life of this extraordinary woman, her friends and contemporaries, the thesis provides deeper insights into the overall musical atmosphere of the 19th century. The thesis illuminates the importace of Clara Schumann and her lasting influence on European pianism.

During the early 19th century, the flautist became known as a frivolous “dandy” figure whose extravagant appearance suited his light and virtuoso playing. He becomes a so-called professional virtuoso, generating his own income in the absence of aristocratic patronage while entertaining the rising bourgeois public, who demands light yet virtuoso performances. Many artists are disillusioned in this sphere where the arts seem to be reduced to something that is merely utile to the public – a form of entertainment; a social tool. The greatest concern of writers and poets is that the universal truth of their modern reality will not be expressed in art. It becomes the quest of these seemingly disempowered intellectuals to fight this tendency and to express the existential anguish, uncertainty and ennui of the modern materialist society through their art. It is against this background that the concept of the flautist as “aristocratic virtuoso” is developed. This idea opposes the concept of the “professional virtuoso” of the early 19th century. In this society where artists have to find their voice without the support of the aristocratic classes, 19th century disillusioned poet Charles Baudelaire develops the concept of a symbolic cultural aristocracy, wherein the artist is a privileged outsider “on the inside”; a spectator who takes up all of everyday existence, and transforms it into a profound poetic reality. It is with this theory in mind that I develop my thesis of the flautist as aristocratic virtuoso – a figure who captures the universal beauty of his time through his music and shares it with his audience. This dissertation is, therefore, a study of the events that brought about this re-definition of the role of the flautist in the 19th century. It explores the contribution of prominent composers, the impact of the Société Nationale de Musique Française and the French Flute School, as well as the development of the instrument. AFRIKAANS : Gedurende die vroeë 19de eeu onderskei die fluitis hom as ‘n byna windmakerige “dandy” figuur; sy fisieke voorkoms passend by sy ligte, dartelende tog uiters virtuose spel. Hierdie vroeë 19de eeuse fluitis staan bekend as die professionele virtuoos, omdat kunstenaars nie meer die beskermheerskap van die aristokrasie geniet nie, en vir hulle bestaan afhanklik word van die bourgeois publiek wat indrukwekkende, dog verteerbare vermaak van musici vereis. Verskeie kunstenaars voel vervreem in hierdie sfeer waarbinne die kunste gereduseer word tot iets wat “van nut” is vir die publiek. Die grootste kommer van skrywers en digters is dat dit wat van universele waarde in die realiteit van hulle epog is, nie tot uitdrukking kom in die kunste nie. Skrywers en intellektuele voel hulleself ontmagtig en dit word hulle doel om teen hierdie tendens te stry en deur hulle kuns die eksistensiële angs, onsekerheid en leegheid van die moderne materiële bestel uit te beeld. Dit is in hierdie denkraamwerk dat die konsep van die fluitis as “aristokraat virtuoos” sy oorsprong het. Hierdie idee staan vanselfsprekend in teenstelling met die “professionele virtuoos” van die vroeë 19de eeu. In ʼn samelewing waar die kunste sonder die reële gegewe van die aristokratiese beskerming en bevordering ʼn medium moet vind waarbinne hulle eie moderniteit uitgedruk kan word, ontwikkel die 19de eeuse ontnugterde digter Charles Baudelaire die konsep van ʼn nuutgevonde simboliese “kulturele” aristokrasie. Hy ontwikkel ʼn interessante dualiteit rondom die kunstenaar wat as bevoorregte objektiewe buitestaander ten nouste betrokke is by die samelewing en wat daarvoor verantwoordelik is om die tydelike met die ewige te verbind deur sy/haar kuns. Dis vanuit hierdie idee dat ek ʼn saak maak vir die fluitis as aristokraat virtuoos – as figuur wat binne die medium van musiek die skoonheid van sy tyd vasvang en met sy gehore deel. My studie is dus ‘n ondersoek rondom die gebeurtenisse wat hierdie hervorming in die 19de eeu meebring. Ek bestudeer komponiste wat ‘n belangrike bydrae lewer tot die fluitrepertorium, en ondersoek die stigting van die Société Nationale de Musique Française en die Franse Fluitskool, en die ontwikkeling van die instrument self.
