Timpani technique by Fred D. Hinger
Zhdanovich, Anton ; MIKOLÁŠEK, Daniel (advisor) ; Holub, Petr (referee)
This bachelor thesis focuses on contemporary problems of primarily orchestral timpani playing. In this thesis, I tried to explain, why a timpani player is often unable to reach the desired quality of sound and tone of the instrument, which make it impossible to reach the right musical character in the context of that particular musical piece. The goal of this work is to enrich the Czech school of timpani playing and to contribute to the growth of interpretation abilities of beginning and intermediate timpani players. Another goal is to show a different tradition of kettledrum playing with all its details. I focused on the practical side of the instrument playing and I describe the methods and the process of solving technical and musical problems of interpreters in this paper. The character of this thesis is completely practical and focuses on the description of one of the many other world traditions of timpani playing.
