Anton Diabelli : Sonatina in F major, Op. 168 No. 1

Moderato cantabile; Andante cantabile; Allegretto -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Austrian composer and music publisher Anton Diabelli (1781-1858) is remembered for two things. First, there was the waltz he sent around to various composers of the day in 1819, requesting them to write variations for an anthology. The challenge was, of course, best met by Beethoven, who wrote a whole set. Second, there are the eleven sonatinas (Opp. 151 and 168), which are still studied by many students to this day. I had never systematically studied them, although I probably learned one or two movements as a boy. However, I was given a copy of the Op. 168 set recently, and got much pleasure from playing through them - admiring the way Diabelli distilled the essence of a late classical sonata into miniature forms. Just for a change, I have used a different camera angle for this video - but anyone learning this piece should not copy my hand movements, as I have acquired some unusual mannerisms through the years! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Played by Phillip Sear www.psear.co.uk

This sonatina sets an odd musical problem, in that the first two bars of the RH melody and harmony of the first and second movements are identical, but in different keys. One has to be careful to take a markedly different tempo for the second movement to disguise this fact - otherwise the work does not hang together. I am not sure if Diabelli did this deliberately or if he compiled these sonatinas from movements he already had 'in stock'. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Played by Phillip <b>...</b>

Anton Diabelli - Tranquil opus 39 - Romantic Guitar
This is a presentation of a "new" guitar. In fact an old romantic guitar from around 1820-30. Probably from Italian origin, then restaured in Monaco in 1903 by François Vial (violin maker). And now restaured by Didier Jarny (back ,bars, soundboard, bone frets). Sounds very nice with low tension strings (bass by Savarez, treble Nylgut by Aquila) Music is a short and very easy piece by Anton Diabelli.

The first movement of this sonata vaguely echoes Weber in its horn-like opening. The linked second and third movements use the same theme. I have to say that the rapid repeated chords in the accompaniment figures towards the end of the rondo really require a piano with a looser action than mine! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Played by Phillip Sear www.psear.co.uk

210px|thumb|Anton Diabelli, lithograph by Josef KriehuberAnton (or Antonio) Diabelli (5 September 1781 – 8 April 1858) was an Austrian music publisher, editor and composer. Best known in his time as a publisher, he is most familiar today as the composer of the waltz on which Ludwig van Beethoven wrote his set of thirty-three ''Diabelli Variations''.
Early life
Diabelli was born in Mattsee near Salzburg. A musical child, he sang in the boys' choir at the Salzburg Cathedral where he is believed to have taken music lessons with Michael Haydn. By age 19, Diabelli had already composed several important compositions, including six masses.Diabelli was trained to enter the priesthood and in 1800 he joined the monastery at Raitenhaslach, Bavaria. He remained there until 1803 when Bavaria closed all its monasteries.
Career
In 1803 Diabelli moved to Vienna and began teaching piano and guitar and found work as a proofreader for a music publisher. During this period he learned the music publishing business while continuing to compose. In 1809 he composed his comic opera, ''Adam in der Klemme.'' In 1817 he started a music publishing business and 1818, partnered with Pietro Cappi to create the music publishing firm of Cappi & Diabelli.The firm, Cappi & Diabelli became well known by arranging popular pieces so they could be played by amateurs at home. A master of promotion, Diabelli selected widely-accessible music such as famous opera tune arrangements, dance music, or hundreds of the latest popular comic theater songs
The firm soon established a reputation in more serious music circles by championing the works of Franz Schubert. It was Diabelli who first recognized the composer's potential, become the very first to publish Schubert's work with Der Erlkönig in 1821. Diabelli's firm continued to publish Schubert's work until 1823 when an argument between Cappi and Schubert terminated their business. The following year, Diabelli and Cappi parted ways, with Diabelli launching a new publishing house, Diabelli & Co, in 1824.
Following Schubert's early death in 1828, Diabelli purchased a large portion of the composer's massive musical estate from Schubert's brother Ferdinand. As Schubert's total compositions number nearly 1000, Diabelli's firm was able to publish "new" Schubert works for more than 30 years after the composer's death.
Diabelli's publishing house expanded throughout his life, before he retired in 1851, leaving it under the control of Carl Anton Spina. When Diabelli died in 1858, Spina continued to run the firm, and published much music by Johann Strauss II and Josef Strauss. In 1872, the firm was taken over by Friedrich Schreiber, and in 1876 it merged with the firm of August Cranz, who bought the company in 1879 and ran it under his name.
He died in Vienna at the age of 76.
Compositions
Diabelli produced a number of works as a composer, including an operetta called ''Adam in der Klemme'', several masses and songs and numerous piano and classical guitar pieces. Among these are pieces for piano four hands that are popular among amateur pianists.Diabelli's composition ''Pleasures of Youth: Six Sonatinas'' is a collection of six sonatinas depicting a struggle between unknown opposing forces. This is suggested by the sharp and frequent change in dynamics from forte to piano. When forte is indicated, the pianist is meant to evoke a sense of wickedness, thus depicting the antagonist. In contrast, the markings of piano represent the protagonist with its softer, more tranquil tones.
Diabelli Variations
The composition for which Diabelli is now best known was actually written as part of an adventuring story. In 1819, as a promotional idea, he decided to try to publish a volume of variations on a "patriotic" waltz he had penned expressly for this purpose, with one variation by every important Austrian composer living at the time, as well as several significant non-Austrians. The combined contributions would be published in an anthology called ''Vaterländischer Künstlerverein''. Fifty-one composers responded with pieces, including Beethoven, Schubert, Carl Czerny, Johann Nepomuk Hummel, Ignaz Moscheles, and the eight-year-old Franz Liszt (although it seems Liszt was not invited personally, but his teacher Czerny arranged for him to be involved). Czerny was also enlisted to write a coda. Beethoven, however, instead of providing just one variation, provided 33, and his formed Part I of ''Vaterländischer Künstlerverein''. They constitute what is generally regarded as one of the greatest of Beethoven's piano pieces and as the greatest set of variations of their time, and are generally known simply as the ''Diabelli Variations'', Op. 120. The other 50 variations were published as Part II of ''Vaterländischer Künstlerverein''.

Leon Koudelak classical guitarist.
Koudelak has toured internationally in most parts of Europe, Asia and the Americas. He inspired famous composers such as Tom Pegram, Apostolos Paraskevas or Michael Buchrainer to write guitar music. He founded the Liechtenstein Guitar Festival, Ligita, the Asia Internationa Guitar Festival and the Pattaya Classical Guitar Festival. Among many in the international music scene he is known as "La mano santa de la guitarra" ('the holy hand of the guitar'). 1996 he released a CD with the major Guitar Solo Works by Joaquin Rodrigo which brought him worldwide recognition. Maestro Rodrigo wrote him a letter expressing great enthusiasm after listening to his CD about his interpretation. On the following concert tour, Koudelak played a complete program with works by Joaquin Rodrigo. Leon Koudelak enter the ranker list "the most famouse classical guitarists of all time".
Early life and career
When Leon was six years old, his family moved to Algeria from the former Czechoslovakia. His father was a musician and medical doctor. Leon was brought up on American jazz as his father appreciated the likes of Duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong. His father also exposed Leon to a lot of classical music, especially those of Slavic extraction such as Antonín Dvořák, Leoš Janáček and Bohuslav Martinů.When his father's work contract expired in Algeria, he opted to return to Switzerland rather than eastern Europe. During his time in Switzerland as a nascent classical guitarist, Koudelak heard Andres Segovia for the first time. This would galvanize, at quite an early age, his desire to be a musician.
In his later teenage years, he studied with the most famous guitarists and teachers such Karl Scheit (he was the last student of Karl Scheit) at the University of Music and Performing Arts, Vienna, at the Zurich University of Music and Arts with Konrad Ragossnig and was one of the few students of Julian Bream in Liechtenstein. He obtained a Bachelors Degree, the Master of Arts Education and the Masters of Arts Degree (Mag. Art.) in Vienna and Zurich . During his time in Vienna he studied as well Contemporary Music with Roman Haubenstock-Ramati.
After he became a prize winner in Madrid, he was contacted by a Swiss Concert Agency with which he signed a long-year contract and as well an exclusive contract with Tyrolis Music. 1989 He has recorded his first album with Tyrolis Music called : "Music from Spain, Brasil and Mexico" and 1993 the following CD “Modern Trend of Factories for Guitar". At this time he performed on music festivals and concerts in Europe, in countries like such Germany, Great Britain, Spain, Portugal, Czech Republic and Slovak Republic, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, Hungary, France, Greece or Liechtenstein. He did the premieres in Vienna of works by composers such as Roman Haubenstock-Ramati, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Michael Buchrainer.
In 1996 the albums “Joaquin Rodrigo – "guitar music" and 1997 “Pavana Triste" were released by Tyrolis Music and led him to major guitarfestivals and concerhalls around the world. The album “Joaquin Rodrigo –"guitar music" becomes one of the best selling CD in classical guitar music, highly praised by critics around the world.
1998 he did a interview with the guitar magazin "Gitarre & Laute". which earned criticism because of this statement about the classical guitar repertoire, which actually was misunderstood.
the 21st century
At the beginning of the 21st century, Koudelak flirted with Asia, as there was a greater potential on interest in classical guitar and guitar players than anywhere else. By chance, he met Woratep Rattana-umpawan in Thailand who suggested to found a guitar festival and make the classical guitar popular in Asia. This has led to found the Asia International Guitar Festival in Bangkok, which becomes the biggest guitarfestival in Asia and led to an unusually high increase in interest for the classical guitar in Thailand. Finally after being the artistic director of the LiGiTa (Liechtensteinische Gitarren Tage) over 10 years, Koudelak start to work at the same position in Bangkok for the Asia International Guitar Festival in 2001. The same year he recorded in a prominent music studio in Bangkok the CD " Exotic Fruits" which was released 2002 by Tyrolis Music and became the CD of the year by French Technical Periodical " Les Cahiers de la Guitar".In 2002, back to Europe, he led the premiere of the guitar concert “Evasion 2002 – “Eschner - guitar concert” by Michael Buchrainer with the “Symphony Orchestra Liechtenstein” at the Festival of Liechtenstein (LiGiTa). In the years 2003, 2006 and 2007 he went back to Europe to performe concerts but definitly stayed based in Asia.
"apoyando" and "sin apoyar"
Emilio Pujol mentioned in his guitarschool in five volumes, the "apoyando" and "sin apoyar". Where the name "tirando" instead of "sin apoyar" comes from is not comprehensible but used in many new guitar methods. The "apoyando" comes from the flamenco tradition of playing guitar. With the "apoyando" it is possible to create a louder sound and clear tone. This is what Francisco Tárrega and Emilio Pujol introduce in the guitar technic. Andres Segovia was a great representative of this technic. Followed by John Williams, Julian Bream, Pepe Romero, Karl Scheit, Konrad Ragossnig, Eliot Fisk, Flavio Cucchi, Marco Tamayo or Jorge Luis Zamora. Leon Koudelak lived in the years 1983 to 1986 in Spain, learning with flamenco guitarists the flamenco technic. In that time he became a close friend of the master of Flamenco "Merenge de Cordoba". Later he changed from the Apoyando technic to a mixture between "apoyando" and "sin apoyar". The Barock, Classic and Romantic repertoires are played with "sin apoyar", but in the music by Joaquin Turina, Joaquin Rodrigo, Manuel de Falla or other Spanish composers it is not possible to interpret the music correctly without the flamenco technic. In particular the Concierto de Aranjuez where the scales need to be played loud. Today the "apoyando" almost disappeared as the performers use microphones and amplifier. The real spirit from the Spanish guitar sadly disappeared as well and is only represented today by a few artists. But it continue to stay alive in the flamenco music and more and more classical guitarist like Pavel Steidl discover this technic again.
Nowadays
Today, Koudelak resides in in Thailand, on an extended respite from excessively touring.He founded 2008, together with Woratep Rattana-umpawan, the Thailand Guitar Society and teaches in Bangkok at Mahidol University (College of Music, Mahidol University) and Silpakorn University. In addition to being invited to play in music festivals, often with Woratep Rattana-umpawan as Duo, he also organizes music festivals in Thailand and acts as artistic director.
To his classical guitar playing he improvises with passion as seen in this video on youtube with Flavio Cucchi and Jorge Luis Zamora, write and arrange music for guitar.
