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

In Lettland kann kaum von einem großen Mozartkult im eigentlichen Sinne des Wortes gesprochen werden. Die betrifft vor allem die Vokalmusik etwas anders verhält es sich mit der Instrumentalmusik.

Music theory has acquired a unique position in between many fields, most notably composition, historical and systematic musicology and music pedagogy. Motivated by the topic »music theory and interdisciplinarity«, this essay explores the fields spanned by today’s music theory in seven short chapters. The first chapter describes changes of the discipline in German-speaking countries since the 1960s and its development from a simple synonym of practical harmony and a propedeutic means for music analysis to a postmodern, rich and scholarly ambitous field that can hardly be reduced to a common denominator. In the second chapter the author, drawing on Fritjof Capra’s The Tao of Physics, argues that music theory should not limit itself to purely »technical« issues, but must also address emotional or expectational realms of musical meaning. The third chapter further explores this point by discussing the opposition between musical theory and practice, suggesting that music theory indeed has the potential to let these two poles stimulate one another. The same is true for the often debated divide between »artistic« and »scholarly« aspects of music theory, explored in the fourth chapter: They are not mutually exclusive, but rather always have influenced each other, as evidenced by eighteenth-century treatises. Exchange with related disciplines such as music psychology has increased since the 1960s, as chapter five summarizes, although the relationship between music theory and musicology sometimes remains problematic. In the sixth chapter, a short analytical approach to four examples from the standard repertoire (Schubert, Bach, Brahms, Mozart) attempt to demonstrate the potential of specifically music-theoretical viewpoints. The final section advocates the strengthening of a specific profile for music theory: The liberation from dogmatic thought and systematic rigour should not lead us to overstretch music-theoretical questions.

During his lifetime, Johann Christian Bach (1739--1782) was considered the most famous musician of the Bach family throughout England and Europe. Although his music was highly regarded in the eighteenth century, little scholarly work has been undertaken on the historical and analytical aspects of his compositions. His keyboard compositions are valuable in tracing his musical development since this was the only genre that he wrote throughout his career in Berlin, Milan and London. Previous analyses of Bach's keyboard music have mainly focused on stylistic development, thus neglecting the importance of phrase and larger formal functions. / I adopt William Caplin's theory of formal functions to analyze Bach's solo keyboard sonatas: the Solo in A minor from Berlin (1750--55), three sonatas from the Milan collection (1755), six sonatas from London Op. 5 (1767), and six sonatas from London Op. 17 (1773--4). I demonstrate that Bach gradually refines phrase and thematic functions of the exposition of first-movement sonatas. I examine Bach's use of core technique and subordinate theme-like units in development sections and discuss the reasoning behind different recapitulation strategies. I also compare the sonata forms of the first movement to the second and third movements, and discuss other types of large-scale formal design (theme and variations, minuet and trio, and rondo). / Many sources indicate that Mozart was greatly influenced by Bach, but they remain vague in describing the type and extent of this influence. Building on previous melodic, motivic and stylistic studies, I draw important phrase-structural connections between the music of Bach and Mozart. I discuss the construction of Mozart's early piano pieces (KV 6 through K 284) and demonstrate that he adopts particular phrase-structural and thematic designs similar to pieces from Bach's Op. 5 and 17 collections. Through form functional analysis, I illustrate Bach's development of phrase and thematic structures and provide important phrase-structural evidence of his influence on the music of Mozart.

The work is divided into three parts called “acts”. The author tries to demonstrate that the censorship, instead of suffocating the creative talent, stimulates him to seek ways to evade it. Even though in the adaptation Lorenzo da Ponte deleted the parts which were more offensive to the nobility, he maintained the subversive character of Beaumarchais’ work; and Mozart, contradicting many people’s beliefs, was not ignorant neither indifferent towards the meaning of his operas. The relations between music and literature, based on Lorenzo da Ponte’s libretto and Mozart’s music, are also analyzed. / As relações intertextuais entre a peça “As bodas de Fígaro”, escrita por Pierre Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais, em 1784, e a ópera homônima composta por Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, dois anos depois, sob adaptação de Lorenzo da Ponte. O trabalho está dividido em três partes, denominadas de “atos”. O autor procura demonstrar que a censura, ao invés de sufocar o talento criador, apenas o incentiva a buscar meios de burlála. Lorenzo da Ponte, mesmo tendo alijado da adaptação as partes mais ofensivas à nobreza, preservou o caráter subversivo da obra de Beaumarchais; e Mozart, ao contrário do que muitos imaginam, não era ignorante, ou mesmo indiferente, ao significado de suas óperas. São analisadas também as relações entre música e literatura, com base no libreto de Lorenzo da Ponte e na música de Mozart.

This dissertation explores the use of topics for dramatic purposes in Mozart's Così fan tutte. The five analytical chapters are organized around a central question: how do pastoral and fanfare topics shape the plot of Così fan tutte? Chapter 2 highlights the role topics and tropes play in emplacing and nuancing emergent meaning in the Così fan tutte motto. Chapter 3 examines transformative topical tropes in "Ah guarda, sorella." Chapter 4 shows how the horn fifths and fanfare topics in "Per pietà, ben mio" frame Fiordiligi's choice: the Albanian or Guglielmo. Chapter 5 illustrates the relationship between fanfare topics and galant recitative schemas to articulate formal boundaries between accompanied recitatives and arias. The expectations of closure emplaced by the examples from Così fan tutte nuance a reading of "Hai già vinta la causa!" from Le nozze di Figaro. Chapter 6 discusses the role of recitative intrusions and their articulation of the Count's unrest in "Vedrò mentre io sospiro." Detailed analyses and close readings of the topics and tropes in this dissertation drawn from throughout Così fan tutte showcase Mozart's rich deployment of topics in varied musical and dramatic roles.
