Abstract
The musical culture
of eighteenth-century London
was
greatly affected by the
Industrial
Revolution, which dominated England.
With the technological advances of the Industrial
Revolution, musical instruments were mass produced to meet the demands
of the increasing
middle class. The pianoforte became the quintessential middle class instrument,
and
London
Pianoforte School composer
Johann Samuel Schroeter played a key role in popularizing this
newer instrument.
Konrad Wolff compares Schroeter with Chopin in the sense of being a “piano
specialist”
as all his
compositions include the pianoforte.
Despite Schroeter’s prominent
influence upon
the development of piano technique and
that of the keyboard
concerto, very little
is known about him today.
The present study introduces a modern performing edition of the keyboard concertos, Op. 6, Nos. 1-6,
of Johann Samuel Schroeter.
It is hoped that transcribing Schroeter’s keyboard
concerti into modern notation will make his music more accessible to modern-day pianists. In
addition, this study includes a preface that discusses Schroeter’s
background,
compositional
style, performance practices, and pianistic techniques as illustrated by this set of works.This
project aims to bring recognition to a
musician who, despite
his significant contributions to the
development of the pianoforte
concerto, was virtually forgotten by the early nineteenth century,
and whose music has been largely ignored in our time.
