Jiří Hartl (1781–1849), a teacher from Northern Bohemia: the dance repertoire of his band in the light of his manuscript heritage

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The collection of dance music manuscripts from the late 18th and early 19th century by Jiří Hartl is unique among European sources, in terms of quality and size. Jiří Hartl (1781–1849), born in North Bohemia into a family of village teachers, was a skilled musician, playing the violin, clarinet, organ and bassoon. In 1803–1846, Hartl had a teaching post in Stará Paka and, as was typical of village teachers, was responsible for the local organ, establishing a tradition of figural music. His commitments included leading a dance band, which would accompany various urban and rural dance events. This is evidenced by the collection, which contains 840 dance instrumental tunes, most of them recorded in 1810–1820. The records are those of the first violin with instrumentation glosses, solo contributions of other instruments, and the names of most of the dances. The collection also contains verbal notes, which help to reconstruct the composition of Hartl’s band (at least two violins, normally a viola, always a double-bass, 1–2 clarinets and a trumpet, sometimes a flute and bassoon). The manuscripts contain numerous popular dances of European origin, including ländler, steyrisch, schotisch, marsch, ungarisch, zweitritt, contra, menuetto, deutschen, bauer, bonapart, englese, furiant, kögeltanz etc. Of equal importance is the motivation behind the collection, which clearly served the bandmaster’s practical needs. The collection provides a picture of the practice of music composed for specific purposes two centuries ago and of the dance repertoire. Hartl’s legacy and life story epitomize the difficult work of small-town teachers in Bohemia in the early 19th century. It was their work that laid the building blocks on which a rich environment of dance societies grew in the following decades, providing essential support for cultural growth and a successful national emancipation movement of the 19th century.
