THE POLONAISE AND MAZURKA IN MID-EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY DRESDEN: STYLE AND STRUCTURE IN THE MUSIC OF JOHANN CHRISTIAN ROELLIG

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  16 August 2016

Abstract

While recent studies have explored the significance of the Polish style in the music of Georg Philipp Telemann and Johann Sebastian Bach, and the importance of Polish dances in Dresden has long been recognized, the eighteenth-century German polonaise remains a largely neglected area of inquiry. The restoration of the library of the Singakademie zu Berlin in 2000 has made it possible to explore an important collection of mostly unica sources of music by Saxon composers from c1740 to 1763 amassed by the Meissen porcelain mosaic artist Carl Jacob Christian Klipfel (1727–1802). Klipfel's collection includes music by Johann Christian Roellig (born 1716), possibly the most prolific composer of polonaises in Dresden during this period and one of the earliest German composers to write mazurs (mazurkas) in instrumental works. The first-hand knowledge of the Polish style that musicians employed by the Saxon electoral court and Count von Brühl gained as a result of frequent journeys to Warsaw resulted in Dresden polonaises that are relatively un-‘Germanized’. This article examines the social and musical contexts of the polonaise in mid-eighteenth-century Dresden, including the repertoire of the annual Redouten (masked balls), then examines the polonaises and mazurkas of Roellig and his contemporaries, including Johann Georg Knechtel, Georg Gebel and Gottlob Harrer. A survey of the use of the polonaise in Redoutentänze, symphonies and partitas reveals significant differences in style and structure between these genres.

1 There are just three named examples that can be attributed to Bach: one for keyboard (in the Sixth French Suite, bwv817) and two for orchestra (in Brandenburg Concerto No. 1, bwv1046, and the Ouverture in B minor, bwv1067). There are more examples in the works of Telemann, including a number of Ouverturen (twv55:D13, F14, A2, a2, a4 and B12), Danses d'Polonese (D-ROu Mus. saec. XVII 18. 53/3 and 3a, dated after 1717–1722) and a single movement for flute or violin and continuo, dated 1728 (twv41:D4).

9 Paczkowski, ‘Aria Tempo di Polonaise’, 80, observes that there are also many collections of songs or odes containing sung polonaises, such as Sperontes's Singende Muse an der Pleisse (Leipzig, 1736), in which a third of the pieces are polonaises.

10 Schulenberg, Music of Wilhelm Friedemann Bach, 96, comments that ‘if any members of the Bach family actually saw polonaises being danced, these were more likely stylized versions in Dresden court ballets than the Polish folk dances from which the [former] presumably evolved’. Yet it seems inconceivable that Friedemann did not attend civic Redouten in the period 1733–1746, and thus it would have been not ‘court ballet’ but functional dances in the polonaise style that he experienced.

33 The 1764 non-thematic catalogue (Verzeichniss Musicalischer Werke, 4) lists three sets of orchestral dances that appear to be by Steinmetz: VIII. Polonese, a 2 Corni, 2 Oboi, 2 Violini & Basso, X. Polonese, a 2 Violini & Basso. 12 gl. and XII. Polonese, a Violini unis e Basso. 8 gl. Little is known of Steinmetz (1717–1753), who worked in Dresden. Gebel (VI Menuetti & VI Polonese per il Cemb. Solo; Verzeichniss Musicalischer Werke, 38) is presumably Georg Gebel, junior (1709–1753), who was appointed to the Dresden Kapelle of Count von Brühl in 1735. He took lessons on the pantaleon from Hebenstreit and left Dresden in 1747 to become Kapellmeister to the Prince of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt. Horn (VI Menuetti per il Cembalo Solo and VI Polonese per il Cembalo Solo; Verzeichniss Musicalischer Werke, 38) may be Johann Ludwig Horn or, more probably, Christian Friedrich Horn (fl. 1730–1760), who was Konzertmeister of the Brühl Kapelle. Johann Christian Fischer (1733–1800) is listed in the Dresden court calendar of 1764 as a member of the Hofkapelle. Some time after that, he started touring as an oboe soloist and eventually settled in London, where he married the daughter of Thomas Gainsborough, who painted a full-length portrait of him.

45 For example, eight of the polonaises in W. F. Bach's Fk12 (Nos 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11) modulate to the dominant at the end of the first repeated section, whereas Nos 2 and 6 modulate to the relative major.

54 Both Roellig's 1755 and 1756 sets of minuets and Knechtel's 1755 set of minuets begin in D major but end in B flat major. Neruda's set of minuets ends in G major, whereas Hiller's ends in D minor. Roellig's 1755 and 1756 sets of polonaises end in either A major or A minor, while Klipfel's 1755 set ends in G major and the ‘Gebel’ and Neruda sets end in F major. All have similar modulatory patterns and explore closely related keys in the first half of the sequence before moving to flat keys (B flat major, E flat major and C minor) in the second half.

It is significant that Breitkopf offered sets of dances by as many as four composers in any given year, perhaps an indication of the amount of music required for an evening of dancing, or that organizers of Redouten had a choice of material to distribute among different venues. In any case, the Breitkopf listings illustrate the richness of the repertoire.

58 The fourth homage cantata is Die Lust von jenem Schreckenbilde (D-Bsa, SA 1177(5)), performed in Meissen on 7 October 1753. Not only does the symphony include a polonaise movement, but the work is also suitably scored for a royal birthday, with trumpets, timpani, two oboes and strings. It is possible that two other Roellig symphonies with a polonaise or alla polacca central movement were associated with lost vocal works: the Symphony in D major of 1747 (SA 2301 and SA 2398) and the Symphony in B flat major (SA 3202) for posthorn, two oboes and strings.

Poniatowski (1732–1798) was the last King and Grand Duke of Poland (1764–1798), and visited Dresden in 1747.

63 Hasse's opera also features a hunt scene in which Dido and Aeneas are separated from the rest of the hunting party and make love in a remote cave. Ortrun Landmann appears to have been the first to observe the symbolic meaning of polacca sections in Hasse operatic sinfonias in ‘Bermerkungen zu den Hasse-Quellen der Sächsischen Landesbibliothek’, in Colloquium ‘Johann Adolf Hasse und die Musik seiner Zeit’, ed. Friedrich Lippmann (Laaber: Laaber, 1987), 493–494.

65 See Springthorpe, ‘Who Was Röllig?’, 131–133, for a summary of the typical movement plans of Roellig's Dresden partitas and suites. Saxon and other composers associated with the Dresden partita include Johann Adam (1704–1779), Johann Friedrich Drobisch (1723–1762), Fritsch (fl. 1737), Georg Gebel (1709–1753), Gottlob Harrer (1703–1755), J. A. Hasse (1699–1783), Johann Adam Hiller (1728–1804), Johann Ludwig Horn (fl. 1735–1762), Christian Gottfried Krause (1719–1770), Johann Kropfgans (1708–c1770), George Simon Löhlein (1725–1781), Christian Gottlob Neefe (1748–1798), Johann Baptist George Neruda (c1707–c1780), Johann Christian Roellig, Markus Ruslaub (fl. 1760–1785), Johann George Schürer (c1720–1786), Gottfried Siegmund Schwägrichen (1694–1741), Johann Erhard Steinmetz (fl. 1750), Johann George Tromlitz (1725–1805) and Johann Gottlieb Wiedner (c1714–1783). The Dresden partita is a topic of my ongoing research.

66 Partita in D major (D-Bds SA 2319) / Divertimento in D major (SA 4338), Partita in D minor (SA 2318) / Divertimento in D minor (SA 3242), and Partita in G major (SA 2397/SA 2340) / Divertimento in G major (SA 2423; SA 2423). On the dating of these works see Springthorpe ‘Porcelain, Music and Frederick the Great’, 28–30. The Partitas are arrangements of the first three works in VI Divertimenti for flute or violin and cembalo (Breitkopf catalogue, 1763, part 4, 14). With the exception of Roellig and Binder, all the composers of divertimenti advertised in the Breitkopf catalogues of 1761–1767 were of Austrian or Bohemian descent and worked in the Austrian orbit (Maximilian Joseph Hellmann, Joseph Haydn, Georg Christoph Wagenseil, Antonin Kammel, Karl Kohaut, Leopold Mozart, Carl Ditters von Dittersdorf and Leopold Hofmann). It is possible that Wagenseil's visit to Dresden in 1756 was a catalyst for interest in the divertimento, a new genre to the city in the late 1750s. There is a large collection of his music, including many divertimenti, among the materials previously in the former court library (now in D-Dlb).

67 The movements in D major and G major adopt a slightly different model in which the first half of the coda is varied from previous versions of the Tranquillo, alla Polaca section.

68 Telemann coined the phrase ‘die lustige polnische Ernsthaftigkeit’ in a commentary on the Lied ‘Sanfter Schlaf’ (tvwv25:63 in Singe-Spiel- und General-Bass-Übungen, No. 25), quoted in Zohn, Music for a Mixed Taste, 487.

70 Other popular proportions are 4:||:6 (five examples), 4:||:10 (four), 10:||:20 (four) and 6:||:12 (three).

71 Other proportions include 4:||:8, 4:||:12 (two examples), 4:||:14, 5:||:8, 6:||:10 (two), 6:||:14, 6:||:16, 6:||:24, 8:||:8 (two), 8:||:10, 8:||:14, 8:||:16, 8:||:20, 8:||:24, 10:||:12, 10:||:14, 12:||:16 and 12:||:18.

72 The earlier group of polonaises belongs to works in which all the movements are very brief: Partita in F minor (D-Bsa, SA 3237) for flutes and strings, the Partitas in A minor (SA 2341) and D major (SA 2432) for flute and cembalo, and the second of six suites for wind band (SA 2415/2) in B flat major.

73 Partitas in C major (D-Bsa, SA 2342), C minor (SA 3233), G major (SA 2352) and A major (SA 2356/2) and Divertimento in A major (SA 2355), all for strings; Partita in C major (SA 3234) and Divertimento in G minor (SA 3236), both for flute and cembalo (possibly arrangements of lost orchestral works). SA 3236 is the fourth work in VI Divertimenti for flute or violin and cembalo (Breitkopf catalogue, 1763), and SA 2342 and SA 3233 are arrangements of the fifth and sixth works in the same collection.

74 Breitkopf catalogue, Raccolta V, No. 3 (D-Bsa, SA 2415/3), for wind band. The work was arranged ‘a6’ for trumpets and strings (SA 2535) and ‘a2’ for violin and cembalo (SA 2418/5). Other examples of an entire movement based upon the music of the first repeating section include the central movements of the symphonies in C major (SA 2300) and B flat major (SA 3202), discussed above.

75 Similarly, the ‘E’ phrase in D-Bsa, SA 2421, quoted above, also consists of a one-bar sequence and a cadential bar (AAAB).

76 According to Maja Trochimczyk, ‘Polonaise (Polonez)’ <www.usc.edu/dept/polish_music/dance/polonaise.html> (30 July 2014), the trio first appears in polonaises by Michał Kleofas Ogiński (1765–1833), composed c1790. However, earlier examples are found in Telemann's ouvertures, such as twv55:a2.

77 In the Partitas in D major (D-Bsa, SA 2338, c1748) and G major (SA 2345 and 2395, c1748–1754), the second dance is called ‘trio’, whereas in the Partita in B flat major (SA 2410, c1756), it is called ‘Polonoise 2’.
