Abstract
-
This dissertation focuses on the works for flute and piano of Joachim Andersen. Andersen was born in Copenhagen in 1847 and died in the same city in 1909. He was a virtuoso flute-player, composer, and conductor. Chapter I deals with his biography. Since Andersen never took up the Boehm-system flute, an explanation of flute construction and a comparison between the old- and new-system flutes follow in chapter II. The same discussion also addresses the importance of the Paris Conservatoire in the establishment of the modern flute and the broadening of repertoire in consequence of that. Chapter III deals with the importance of light character pieces for flute, not only because of the lack of other types of repertoire in that era, but also as the establishment of the flute-player as a virtuoso during critical years of transition between old- and new-systems. For pedagogical reasons the works of Andersen were divided into three categories: easy to moderate, moderate to difficult, and difficult. Three examples follow to illustrate each category: opp. 52, 7, and 26. For each piece there is an explanation of the form, harmonic issues, and interpretative and/or breathing suggestions. The final appendix presents a catalogue of all works by Andersen. Information on published editions, dedications, a commentary on the level of difficulty, form, key signature, and other related issues as a guideline for the flute teacher and the student follow in the pieces for flute and piano.
