Joseph Joachim’s Network in Prague: ‘It was very original and funny there, and they had excellent food and drink’

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

On 31 January 1873, Joseph Joachim arrived in Prague with the prospect of performing publically for the first time there. In a letter to his wife dated 2 February, he writes: ‘After the concert, I ate at the – Capuchin monastery with Pater Barnabas. It was very original and funny there, and they had excellent food and drink […]. Among others, a cousin of Julie von Asten’s attended, a chemist. We sent a telegraph to Ambros in Vienna’. A hand-written note on Pater Barnabas Weiss’s score of Beethoven’s op. 20 reveals that Joachim returned three days later. In the note, dated 5 February 1873, Joachim thanks the monk for ‘anregende Stunden’ (‘inspiring hours’). Little is known about Joachim’s private circles in Prague and his possible earlier visits to the Bohemian capital. The Prague paper Ost und West was aware of Joachim as early as 1839, when a short note from Peßt states that ‘a musical child prodigy, an eight-year old violinist, Joseph Joachim, a student of Serwaczyński’s, causes much furore. (We hear of so many miracles that soon we will no longer wonder)’. Prague’s amazement with Joachim seemingly continued as can be seen in Jan Branberger’s early accounts of the Prague Conservatory. Here, Branberger deduces that the conservatory’s Director, Johann Friedrich Kittl, had planned to invite Joachim to Prague as early as 1858 and again in 1862 and 1864. It is known that Joachim did not get involved with the conservatory until later, but Andreas Moser suggests that Joachim stayed in Prague as early as 1846, en route from Leipzig to Budapest. This paper is devoted to Joseph Joachim’s network in and around Prague. Taking into consideration autobiographical and private sources surrounding Joachim’s circle, I hope to explore Joachim’s earlier encounters with Prague’s semi-private musical scene, thus illuminating lesser-known facets of Joachim’s musical activities in Prague.
