Kapellmeister

(Перенаправлено из Chapelmaster )

Capellmeister ( / k и ɛ p l t m aɪ s ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Мы также / K ː ˈ - / kah- , [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Немецкий: [kaˈpɛlˌmaɪstɐ] ⓘ ), от немецкой Капелле (часовня) и Мейстер (Мастер), буквально «Мастер хора часовни», назначает лидера ансамбля музыкантов. Первоначально, используемый для ссылки на кого -то, кто отвечает за музыку в часовне, этот термин значительно развивался по его значению и сегодня используется для обозначения лидера музыкального ансамбля, часто более мелких, используемых для телевидения, радио и театров.

Историческое использование

[ редактировать ]

В немецкоязычных странах в течение приблизительного периода 1500–1800 гг. Слово Kapellmeister часто назначало директора музыки для монарха или дворянина. Для носителей английского языка это ощущение термина, которое чаще всего встречается, поскольку он часто появляется в биографическом письме о композиторах, которые работали в немецкоязычных странах. В течение этого периода, в Италии, позиция (итальянская: маэстро ди -капелла ) в основном направлена ​​на директора музыки, назначенных соборам и священным учреждениям, а не в королевском или аристократическом покровительстве.

Позиция Kapellmeister была старшей и включала надзор за другими музыкантами. Иоганн Себастьян Бах работал с 1717 по 1723 год в качестве Капеллмейстера для принца Леопольда из Анхальт-Катен . Джозеф Гайдн много лет работал в качестве Капеллмейстера в семье Эстерхази , высокопоставленной благородной семьи Габсбургской монархии . Джордж Фридрич Гендел служил капеллмейстером для Джорджа, избирателя Ганновера (который в конечном итоге стал королем Георгом I в Великобритании ).

A Kapellmeister might also be the director of music for a church. Thus, Georg Reutter was the Kapellmeister at St. Stephen's Cathedral, Vienna, where his young choristers included both Joseph and Michael Haydn.

Becoming a Kapellmeister was a mark of success for professional musicians. For instance, Joseph Haydn once remarked that he was glad his father (a wheelwright) had lived long enough to see his son become a Kapellmeister.[3] The term also implied the possession of considerable musical skill. When the 18th-century actor and musician Joachim Daniel Preisler heard the famous soprano Aloysia Weber (Mozart's sister-in-law) perform in her home, he paid her the following compliment in his diary:

The well-known Mozardt is her brother-in-law and has taught her so well that she accompanies from a score and plays interludes like a Kapellmeister.[4]

By the end of the 18th century, many of the nobility had declined in their economic power relative to the newly prosperous middle class. Eventually, the maintenance of a Kapelle became too expensive for most nobles, which led to a decline in the number of Kapellmeister positions. A well-known instance occurred in 1790, when Prince Anton Esterházy succeeded his father Nikolaus and dismissed almost all of the latter's extensive musical establishment.[5] But Prince Anton was hardly alone in doing this; during this same period, "the steady decline in the number of orchestras supported by aristocratic families represented a ... change that affected all composers and their works."[6] This was a difficult time for musicians, who needed to find new ways to support themselves. For instance, Ludwig van Beethoven (1770–1827) never worked as a Kapellmeister but was supported by a somewhat unreliable combination of noble patronage, publication, and concert income.

The case of Mozart

[edit]

Mozart never was a Kapellmeister in the sense given above. In 1787, he was given a paid position in the court of the Austrian Emperor Joseph II as Kammercompositeur (chamber composer), but authority in matters musical at the court was exercised primarily by Antonio Salieri. In reviews, diaries, and advertising, Mozart was commonly referred to as (Herr) Kapellmeister Mozart. It seems that Mozart's prestige, along with the fact that he frequently appeared in public directing other musicians, led to the use of "Kapellmeister" as a term of respect.[7]

In April 1791, Mozart applied to become the Kapellmeister at St. Stephen's Cathedral and was designated by the City Council to take over this job following the death of the then-ailing incumbent, Leopold Hofmann. This never took place, since Mozart died (December 1791) before Hofmann did (1793).[8]

Similar terms and equivalents

[edit]

Variant spellings capellmeister and capelle, to refer to the orchestra or choir,[9] are sometimes encountered in English language works about composers who held the title.[10][11][12][13]

The word Hofkapellmeister specified that the Kapellmeister worked at a nobleman's court (Hof); a Konzertmeister held a somewhat less senior position.[14]

Equivalent positions existed in other European countries and were referred to with equivalent names. In Finnish kapellimestari is still the primary word used of conductors.

Contemporary usage

[edit]

In contemporary German, the term "Kapellmeister" has become less common than Dirigent (conductor). When used today it designates the director or chief conductor of an orchestra or choir. It suggests involvement in orchestra or choir policy (for example, selecting repertoire, concert schedules, and guest conductors) as well as conducting. In military settings it refers to a bandmaster.[16] The music director of the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra traditionally holds the old-fashioned title Gewandhauskapellmeister.[17][18] In other German opera houses, the term generally refers to a deputy conductor reporting to the Generalmusikdirektor (general music director, usually also the chief conductor). An opera company may have several Kapellmeister, ranked as Erste Kapellmeister (First...), Zweite Kapellmeister (Second...), etc.

The conductor Christian Thielemann has offered a nuanced account of the Dirigent/Kapellmeister distinction in contemporary usage. He suggests that "Kapellmeister" has unfairly acquired a sense of routine or failure to project glamour: "a Kapellmeister now describes a pale, meek figure beating time. A policeman on duty at the podium directing the musical traffic, no more." In fact, Thielemann, who is fully aware of the historical usage of the term, would himself prefer to be called a "Kapellmeister": "it implies such virtues as knowledge of a work, great ability, and dedication to the cause of music".[19]

The term "Kapellmeister Tradition" is commonly used to describe these qualities, as exemplified by such historically important conductors as Otto Klemperer, Clemens Krauss, and Erich Kleiber, in the sense that they have "paid their dues" on their way to international fame.[20]
