| Popis: | 106 Vitali’s Chaconne was first arranged and published in 1867 by the German violinist and composer Ferdinand David (1810-1873). His arrangement of Chaconne presents the characteristics of Baroque music combined with romantic harmonic language and performance techniques, and it is has been one of the most frequently performed works. This work is also transcribed for different instruments. However, the original manuscript of this Chaconne (Facsimile) is never found, so whether Vitali is the real composer has not been verified. The name "Tomaso Vitalino" is written at Jacob Lindner’s copy of manuscript, on which David's arrangement is based, but it remains questionable if "Tomaso Vittalino" refers to the Baroque composer Tomaso Antonio Vitali (1663-1745). Moreover, there is little known about Vitali as a composer, plus the strong orientation of romantic music style shown in David's arrangement, questions about the real composer of this work have been raised with controversial discussions among scholars. David’s arrangement was followed by the Leopold Charlier (1867-1936) version, a rearranged edition of David’s version. One the other hand, Diethard Hellmann (1928-1999) presented a scholar edition of Jacob Lindner’s manuscript, which offers an authentic reading of Lindner’s manuscript. In addition, this Chaconne is also transcribed for different instrumental combinations. Furthermore, there are a various recordings of Vitali’s Chaconne, providing variety of thoughts and styles in interpretation. In addition, some performers even rearrange and/or combine parts of the existing editions to show their own view of this work. All these efforts brought about more possibilities of presentation and interpretation in this work. This dissertation is divided into five chapters, the first chapter explains the research motivation and methods. The second chapter describes the background of the work and integrates all relevant literature comments about the composer's controversy. The third chapter introduces different editions of this work, and analyzes the music structure based on the most frequently performed edition arranged by the contemporary violinist Leopold Charlier. The fourth chapter discusses the different aspects of interpretation through the comparisons of the recordings of both David and Chalier’s editions. The fifth chapter summarizes the contributions of these different editions to Vitali's Chaconne and the important aspects about its interpretation. Keywords: Vitali’s Chaconne, violin, edition comparison, variation. |
