Abstract

Ovaj diplomski rad obuhvaća izvore nadahnuća za nastanak Brahmsovih kasnih komornih djela za klarinet, njihovo skladanje, stilske karakteristike i izvješća o izvedbama iz Brahmsova vremena. Tema rada tiče se u prvom redu Brahmsova glavnog nadahnuća, poznatog klarinetista 19. st. Richarda Mühlfelda, ali i ostalih okolnosti iz tog razdoblja Brahmsova života koje su ga nagnale da nastavi skladati. Sadržaj nudi komentare na Mühlfeldovo sviranje, točnije njegovu kvalitetu tona, muzikalnost i tehničke vještine koji spomenutog klarinetista čine Brahmsovom muzom. Puna progresivnih ideja, njegova četiri djela za klarinet - Trio u a-molu, op. 114, Kvintet za klarinet i gudače, op. 115 i dvije Sonate za klarinet i klavir, op. 120 - predstavljaju vrhunac njegovog zrelog stila.

Abstract (english)

This Master´s thesis focuses on the main sources of inspiration for Brahms´ late clarinet chamber music, the compositional process in these works, their stylistic characteristics and accounts of the performances during his lifetime. The composer´s main inspiration was the famous 19th century clarinettist Richard Mühlfeld, but there were also other reasons for Brahms´ late surge of creativity as a composer. The thesis also examines reports of Mühlfeld's playing, in particular his sound quality, musicality and technical skills, which so inspired Brahms to rediscover his Muse and produce his four late masterpieces of chamber music. Full of progressive ideas, the four Clarinet works, the Trio in a minor Op. 114, the Clarinet Quintet Op. 115 and the two Clarinet Sonatas Op. 120 represent the pinnacle of his mature style.
