We cordially invite you to the lecture from the cycle Dialogo della musica, which will be given by Risto Pekka Pennanen (Helsinki) on the topic of De-Canonising Music History through the Late Habsburg Archival Documents: Bosnia and Bohemia under the Analytical Gaze of Historical Ethnomusicology.
The lecture will take place on Tuesday, October 8, 2024 at 5 pm in the Musicological library IAH, Puškinovo nám. 9, Prague 6.
The rich archives of the Habsburg administration contain a remarkable number of sources on music, musicians, talking machines, soundscape and musical societies – to name a few relevant themes. The scholarly use of such archival documents is not straightforward, however. Extracting data from in the archives of Bosnia and Bohemia, this talk concentrates on the major problems in finding data about Bohemian musicians and their impact on the musical life of the two provinces. The example cases are the Gregor Damenkapelle, the children of Emanuel Ekl in Josef Mazura’s Damenkapelle, barrel organist Barbora Hnídková, and the phonograph owners Johann Škarda and Jan Ptačník.
