Beveridge<br>Journal of Czech and Slovak Music 30 (2021), pp4\u201311<br>The front cover of the volume includes a photograph, allegedly of Anton\u00edn Dvo\u0159\u00e1k as a boy, and in this article David Beveridge assembles the extant evidence to present both sides of the debate. Among the images he refers to are the earliest undisputed photographs of the composer, dating from 1868 and 1870 (when Dvo\u0159\u00e1k was 27 and 29 respectively). The article is one of three in the volume devoted to the composer, of whom this year marks the 180th anniversary of his birth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"Recent-interviews-with-Czech-women-composers\"><strong>Recent interviews with Czech women composers, part 1<\/strong><br>\u0160t\u0115p\u00e1n Fil\u00edpek<br>Journal of Czech and Slovak Music 30 (2021), pp12\u201341<br>This is the first of a two-part series of interviews between the Czech cellist and composer \u0160t\u011bp\u00e1n Fil\u00edpek and a number of Czech women composers in the last two years. The interviews were originally published in Czech for the portal for classical music KlasikaPlus and subsequently translated into English by Tom Moore. The interviewees are Jana V\u00f6r\u00f6\u0161ov\u00e1, Mark\u00e9ta Broth\u00e1nkov\u00e1, Petra \u0160u\u0161ko, So\u0148a Vetch\u00e1, Lenka Nota and Petra \u010ctver\u00e1\u010dkov\u00e1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"Anton\u00edn-Dvo\u0159\u00e1k-and-the-concept-of-Czechness\"><strong>Anton\u00edn Dvo\u0159\u00e1k and the concept of Czechness<\/strong><br>David R. Beveridge<br>Journal of Czech and Slovak Music 30 (2021), pp42\u201368<br>Here the subject of Dvo\u0159\u00e1k and his Czechness is addressed comprehensively and in a systematic way. After a study of the earliest publications which emerged after the composer\u2019s death in 1904 the author proceeds to identify the range of non-Czech music with which Dvo\u0159\u00e1k became familiar and whose influence he acknowledged. Then the composer\u2019s reported statements about elements of Czechness and Slavicness in his music are examined. The core of the article is devoted to those compositions which bear the terms \u2018Czech\u2019 and \u2018Slavonic\u2019 in their titles and the extent, if any, to which Dvo\u0159\u00e1k was responsible for these descriptions. Finally the composer\u2019s roles as a patriot and as an ambassador of the Czech cause abroad are considered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"Musica-Antiqua-Bohemica\"><strong>Musica Antiqua Bohemica<\/strong><br>Patrick Lambert<br>Journal of Czech and Slovak Music 30 (2021), pp69\u201397<br>Another article in the series entitled \u2018Czech music through the eyes (and ears) of an Englishman\u2019, this survey of the Czech company Supraphon situates its origins and early expansion in the personal journey of the author\u2019s gradual engagement with Czech music through its recordings. The focus is on a series which was launched in the early 1960s and which experienced a rapid development, especially in the export market. Richly illustrated with many of Supraphon\u2019s colourful covers and with quotations from contemporary critical reception, the article introduces the reader to the full range of principal Czech performing musicians and refers to some of the major technological changes which took place in the recording industry over the last three quarters of a century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"Zden\u011bk-Fibich-as-viewed-by-Leo\u0161-Jan\u00e1\u010dek\"><strong>Zden\u011bk Fibich as viewed by Leo\u0161 Jan\u00e1\u010dek<\/strong><br>Veronika Vejvodov\u00e1<br>Journal of Czech and Slovak Music 30 (2021), pp98\u2013106<br>In this article the author presents all of the available evidence of the connections between the two Czech composers in sections which treat of references to Fibich in Jan\u00e1\u010dek\u2019s professional correspondence, the older composer\u2019s part in Jan\u00e1\u010dek\u2019s (unsuccessful) bid to have Amarus published, comments about Fibich and his lover Ane\u017eka Schulzov\u00e1 in the correspondence between Jan\u00e1\u010dek and his \u2018muse\u2019 Kamila St\u00f6sslov\u00e1, copies of Fibich\u2019s music in Jan\u00e1\u010dek\u2019s possession, compositions by Fibich which Jan\u00e1\u010dek heard and conducted, and references to his compatriot in Jan\u00e1\u010dek\u2019s critical writings and in his lectures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"etr-Eben\u2019s-Lidov\u00e9-p\u00edsn\u0115-a-koledy\"><strong>Petr Eben\u2019s Lidov\u00e9 p\u00edsn\u0115 a koledy [Folk Songs and Carols]<\/strong><br>Sonya Szabo-Reynolds<br>Journal of Czech and Slovak Music 30 (2021), pp107\u2013117<br>Eben\u2019s work is a collection of over one hundred Czech, Moravian and Slovak Folk Songs and Carols, arranged for piano \u2018in an easy style\u2019. The author draws on her experience as a music teacher as she identifies a number of pedagogical benefits which may be derived from the individual pieces. Among the more important of these is an acknowledgement of Eben\u2019s care with articulation in the arrangements; this aspect underscores the issues of accentuation and inflection in the folksong lyrics. The author\u2019s descriptions of the music are reinforced by music examples, and the article incorporates a translation of Eben\u2019s original preface to the collection, also a list of titles with translations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"The-many-loves-of-Anton\u00edn-Dvo\u0159\u00e1k-A-personal-voyage-of-discovery\"><strong>The many loves of Anton\u00edn Dvo\u0159\u00e1k: A personal voyage of discovery<\/strong><br>Patrick Lambert<br>Journal of Czech and Slovak Music 30 (2021), pp118\u2013146<br>The genesis of this article was a challenge to devise a sequence of music which would reflect Dvo\u0159\u00e1k\u2019s \u2018Czech soul\u2019. This sequence is achieved by the author\u2019s selecting representative examples from Supraphon\u2019s extensive archive of Dvo\u0159\u00e1k recordings stretching back to the early 1950s. The complete project is a set of CDs bearing the above title, and its appearance in September 2021 celebrates the 180th anniversary of the composer\u2019s birth. By way of introduction to this activity the author charts his own discovery and deepening admiration for Dvo\u0159\u00e1k\u2019s music. The latter part of the article explains the choices of music made and how these correspond to the author\u2019s \u2018many loves\u2019, which are given subheadings such as \u2018Slav soul\u2019, \u2018Nation and homeland\u2019, \u2018Family\u2019, \u2018Young love recalled\u2019, \u2018Nature\u2019 and \u2018God and religion\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"Joseph-K\u00fcttel-leading-flautist-in-Prague\"><strong>Joseph K\u00fcttel (c1809\u20131857), leading flautist in Prague<\/strong><br>Tom Moore<br>Journal of Czech and Slovak Music 30 (2021), pp147\u2013169<br>Although his name may be forgotten today, Joseph K\u00fcttel had a successful international career during the 1830s and 1840s, including a position as professor of flute at the Kinderfreund Music Institute in Prague. He was born in Halle and began musical study at the age of fourteen. The author charts the course of K\u00fcttel\u2019s career with a trawl of year-by-year accounts of concerts, press reports and biographical information. Contemporary sources unite in praising his technical prowess as a flautist, and his influence as a teacher in Prague is implied by favourable comments on performances by his students. Interesting details of then-popular compositions, also the layout and content of programmes, add to our knowledge of aspects of performance practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u25b2&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=\"#top-of-page\">top of page<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Contents of this Volume A note about the cover photograph \u25ba Recent interviews with Czech women composers, part 1 \u25ba Anton\u00edn Dvo\u0159\u00e1k and the concept of Czechness \u25ba Musica Antiqua Bohemica \u25ba Zden\u011bk Fibich as viewed by Leo\u0161 Jan\u00e1\u010dek \u25ba Petr Eben\u2019s Lidov\u00e9 p\u00edsn\u0115 a koledy [Folk Songs and Carols] \u25ba The many loves of &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dvorak-society.org\/?page_id=6959\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Journal of Czech and Slovak Music: Volume 30 (Abstract) 2021<\/span> <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-6959","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dvorak-society.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/6959","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dvorak-society.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dvorak-society.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dvorak-society.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dvorak-society.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6959"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.dvorak-society.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/6959\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6980,"href":"https:\/\/www.dvorak-society.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/6959\/revisions\/6980"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dvorak-society.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6959"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
