Selected String Quartets of the Bohemian Composers of the Late 18th Century in Southbohemian Music Collections, Study and Edition
ŠIMEK, Martin
There are several historical music collections in the South Bohemian region, which to a greater or lesser extent also include chamber music that is mostly found in the Schwarzenberg music collection preserved in Český Krumlov. In the second half of the 18th century, there was an extensive production of works for chamber ensembles, especially for the cast of the string quartet. Over the course of several decades, quartet music had developed from a genre designed for home music performances to sophisticated concert music intended for connoisseurs. Czech composers also took part in this development. The selection of works by these authors not yet published in the new era will be the subject of this work including the new edition and placement in the contemporary context. The selection includes compositions by Jan Pavel Veselý (1762-1810), a native of Hluboká nad Vltavou and Vojtěch Jírovec (1763-1850), a native of České Budějovice.
