Using concertante principle in works by Alfred Schnittke
Fila, Jan ; RIEDLBAUCH, Václav (advisor) ; FILAS, Juraj (referee)
Concertante principle is one of the compositional technic that goes along in the western music
for more than four hundred years. Basis for this historic techniques are used until now. For
researcher arises the question: Exists the concertante principle in the newer musical literature,
or merely is a relic of the distant past? In the last few decades has been one of the strongest
personalities, who dealt with the using of the concertante principle, the Russian-German
composer Alfred Schnittke, who wrote several dozen concertante works. In music history
after the Second World War, we can hardly find any another person that would be dealt with at length this genre. The aim of this thesis is to examine in detail, how the composer treated
with this technique if used only historically given compositional techniques, or innovatively
replaced. As a method of investigation was chosen analysis of large amounts of scores, on
which there is evidence Schnittke use and targeted using of concertante principle.
