In my master's thesis I will focus on the harpsichord. This instrument is usually classified as a baroque instrument, but in Bohemia the harpsichord experienced its greatest prosperity in Classicism. I will focus on the characteristics of the instrument and differences between the harpsichord and the piano. I will also try to characterize the classical work for harpsichord, the form of a classical solo concerto and the specifics of the interpretation of compositions on harpsichord and piano. Than I will examine the work for harpsichord by Jan Křtitel Vaňhal, put the composition in the context of the author's concert work and determine the diferences between the concerto for harpsichord and the piano concerto in Classicism in Bohemia. Finally, I will comment on the new complete score of Jan Křtitel Vaňhal's Harpsichord Concerto in C major, which I will compare with his Piano Concerto in A major. I also want to create a theoretical basis for the attached new completation of full score of Concerto in C major by J. K. Vaňhal. KEYWORDS Harpsichord, Fortepiano, Jan Křtitel Vaňhal, solo concert, classical period

Dagens solistiska framträdanden inom den klassiska musiken kan se olika ut, men det finns särskilda aspekter och kvalitéter som kännetecknar de mest framstående solisternas framföranden. Det kan handla om hur solisten kommunicerar med andra personer i rummet, vad kroppsspråket uttrycker, med mera. Den här skriftliga reflektionen inom ett konstnärligt examensarbete behandlar och redovisar en process rörande instudering av olika framförandepraxis och senare även tillämpning av dessa på Launy Grøndahls trombonkonsert. I inspiration av framstående solister som Christian Lindberg och Martin Fröst är studiens syfte att som solist utveckla en förmåga att ge en tilltalande helhetsbild för publiken, där inte bara det musikaliska spelar in, utan även det performativa runt omkring. Detta har resulterat i en klar och tydlig bild av viktiga punkter som bör ligga i fokus vid ett framträdande av trombonkonserten, och även andra stycken inom liknande genrer och sammanhang. Fördjupning i detta ämne är viktigt då dessa aspekter tenderar att utelämnas inom de flesta musikutbildningarna i Sverige, och särskilt vid utbildningar inriktade på klassisk musik. / <p>1.
