FUNCTION AND APPEARANCE OF DOUBLE BASS IN THE LIFETIME OF W. A. MOZART
Hudec, Pavel ; HUDEC, Jiří (advisor) ; ŽALUD, Radomír (referee)
The double bass is among all the other string instruments a very rare one, as to it’s
original development, which differs from the other string instruments. It does not have a
unified number of strings and tuning, as one of the last instruments being currently used. I
would like to put an emphasis on the fact, that the name of W. A. Mozart is figuring only as
an orientation in time, as a kind of brackets to defy the period, which I am describing. It is
also a symbolism; Mozart’s name is very closely related to the city of Vienna, which has in
his time witnessed successes of double bass as a solo as well as a chamber instrument.
In my work I would like to concentrate mainly on this period, and on the periods being
closely related to it and show the different ways and purposes, how this instrument was
being used. For a more authentic look into this age I also translate some crucial
documents, which have not been translated to the Czech language yet. The main aim of
this work is to give a general view about three main countries, where the musical life was
being formed, that is to say in France, Italy, and the German speaking countries.
