Instrumental retouche in the Czech orchestral practice
Bubák, Jan ; Koutník, Tomáš (advisor) ; Olivieri-Munroe, Charles (referee)
The aim of this thesis is not to give an ultimate judgment about retouches and alterings that conductors can make to a score but to create a clear overview. This means summarizing all means how the original score is manipulated without changing the denotational picture of it. First of all, the processes that can be applied to a score are being categorized. The survey is helping to defina what could be understood under the term "retouch". Any other alterings should be considered not as retouch but as an arrangement. The analyzed score material comprises classical to mid 20th century repertoire. This thesis explores the useof retouches with regard to historical development of orchestral style. Futhermore the scanning field is limited to the Czech orchestral practice. In the mext chapters the most frequent retouches are analyzed. The author ztries to give reasons why these are considered as a part of our´orchestral tradition´or if it is something that belongs to the past and should be revised again. The thesis is also searching for reasons that led the conductors to introduce these retouches.
