Jarmil Burghauser is mostly known as the editor of the complete critical edition of Antonín Dvořák's work. In addition to that he issued editions of Smetana, Fibich or Janáček. He also instrumented many pieces of these composers. Even though the sources refer to his fruitful activities in the field of composing, Burghauser as a composer is not very known. The aim of this thesis is to introduce Jarmil Burghauser as a composer of chamber music for brass instruments through the analysis of selected compositions. The objective is also to put Burghauser in the context of Czech musical work in the 20th century.

Escrito em uma época na qual o compositor dava seus passos iniciais na trilha que o conduziria à notoriedade internacional, se mantém até hoje à sombra do Concerto op. 104 em si menor, considerada pelos violoncelistas como a obra magna do gênero, dentro de um restrito repertório solístico existente para este instrumento. Este trabalho, através de múltiplas abordagens enfocando aspectos editoriais, históricos, analíticos e interpretativos, tem o objetivo de trazer ao conhecimento dos intérpretes e do público uma obra que, na versão de Günther Raphael, recebeu a formatação necessária para que passasse a apresentar uma organização formal digna do período de maturidade deste compositor / Abstract: In 1865, when was 24 years old, Dvorák composed a Cello Concerto with piano accompaniment that, in spite of two orchestral versions after the composer¿s death, still remains in a situation of obscurity.

Richard Strauss's Duett-Concertino for Clarinet and Bassoon with Strings and Harp, AV 147 was one of the last works written by this celebrated composer. This double concerto has been largely unrecognized by performers and scholars until a recent surge in recorded performances. Some factors that hinder performances of the Duett-Concertino include unusual scoring and difficult rhythmic passages, as well as a lack of acknowledgement or understanding of the programmatic elements represented in the music. Sketches and letters show that the Duett-Concertino was inspired by a fairytale, which may have been the popular Beauty and the Beast. The programmatic analysis in this study examines the musical gestures of the piece, which, when combined with the cues provided in the sketches and letters, construct a musical interpretation of the fairytale. Recognition of the extra-musical features of the Duett-Concertino is essential for an effective performance and, in turn, creates additional performance possibilities such as narration and choreography.
