České ilustrované časopisy osmdesátých let 19. století jako pramen dějin hudební kultury
Populární obrázkové magazíny, usilující oslovit co možná nejširší čtenářské vrstvy, věnovaly hudebnímu dění značnou pozornost. Nejrůznější články a studie fundovaných publicistů, nezřídka opoziční texty odborníků z jiných uměleckých oborů nebo laiků, atraktivní vizuální obsah od reprodukcí fotografií až po karikatury, to vše reflektovalo i spoluutvářelo hudební kulturu. Nashromážděný materiál ze společenských a humoristických časopisů bude prezentován v dílčích sondách věnovaných mediálnímu obrazu vybraných hudebních jevů či hudebníků.

Concert Life in Vienna 1780–1830: The Challenges of Preparing a Concert Database for the 21st Century
Vienna’s musical life in the decades around 1800 was as vibrant as it was loosely defined. For the music historian, the very nature of concert culture presents multiple difficulties in documentation and interpretation: besides the vagaries of naming conventions at this early stage of music journalism, even the notions of what constituted a concert, of public and private, and of the boundaries between audience and players, were all conceptualized in different ways from today. The digital medium however offers many advantages in studying and communicating concert data from this era. In this talk, a presentation of the new web database “Concert Life in Vienna” will serve as a launching point for discussing the ontological challenges associated with and best practices for bringing historical concert data into the digital realm.

Antonín Dvořák in Czech and International Musical Canons
Whether to uphold it or attack it, commentators have often spoken of “the Western canon” of music (as in other arts). Other commentators have stressed the existence of “multiple canons” simultaneously. Dvořák makes an interesting example of a composer who shows the power of both of these concepts and – most importantly – how they interact with each other, since shaping and enforcing any canon is a dynamic exercise in authority and community-building. As there are multiple international canons in conversation against each other, so there are multiple and changing Czech musical canons: from rival historiographical camps to enduring traditions in elementary school textbooks, from university discourse to concert stages. Furthermore, there are often rifts between what people think they “should” know and what they actually listen to across social classes, ethnic groups, and beyond. This talk follows Dvořák’s music through the intersections and disconnections between these different layers.
