Lutobor asked me to compose a great concerto for flute which would match the violin, cello or piano repertoire. It was Jean-Pierre Rampal who recorded the concerto in 1956 and premièred it in 1957. Thanks to Rampal, the flute had turned out to be an important solo instrument. Rampal’s successors contributed to the incredible development of the flute and I was always proud to be able to make a contribution to this development with my music. I felt honoured by the commissions by world-famous flautists like Rampal, Galway, Milan, Fabbriciani, Adorján, Petrucci… Being inspired by their abilities, it was a challenge for me to compose new pieces for them, solo pieces, chamber music works and concertos. One of the most prestigious contemporary flautists, Carlo Jans, decided, after having recorded my complete work for flute and orchestra, to record my integral chamber music work for flute as well. Surprised by this astonishing and ambitious idea, I was of course delighted and honoured. Carlo’s admirable and infallible virtuosity made it possible to realize this ambitious project in collaboration with his eminent Czech, Luxembourgian, American and Latvian friends. My gratitude also to the technical crews of the studios for their excellent work. Thanks a lot, all my admiration and gratefulness to all of you. Sincerely Jindfiich FELD Prague, May 2006 Jindfiich Feld (1925–2007) was born in Prague on 19 February 1925. His father was a renowned professor of violin at the Prague Conservatory and his mother was a violinist, so there were innumerable opportunities for him to hear music during his childhood. He studied violin and viola with his father and enjoyed playing chamber music, but his life-long interest was focused on musical composition. His formal training in composition was at the Prague Conservatory and at the Academy of Music, where he graduated in 1952. In the same year he earned a Ph.D. from the Charles University in Prague with majors in musicology, aesthetics and philosophy. For a number of years he was a freelance composer. In the late 1950’s his compositions began to attract considerable international attention, and he received numerous commissions. As his music was gradually given performances in many musical centres of the world, his contacts with Czech and foreign musicians often motivated him to write new works for them. This was apparently what was behind his love for instrumental music, both orchestral and chamber, which constituted the main focus of his compositional efforts. Feld’s output may be divided into three periods. The first reflects the composer’s ties with the tradition of European and especially Czech music, and is exemplified by his graduation work, Concerto for Orchestra. It already shows the author’s characteristic features: tonal basis to the harmony, formal clarity, sense of instrumental virtuosity, rhythmic vitality etc. These were developed further, in particular, in his Concerto for Flute and Orchestra (1954), performed by Jean-Pierre Rampal, (recorded by Carlo Jans and the Prague Radio Symphony Orchestra conducted by Vladimír Válek for Pavane Records ASW 7469) and the Concerto for Violoncello and Orchestra (1958). In 1956 he also wrote what was his only stage work, a children’s opera The Postman’s Tale. In the same year as the concerto, Feld wrote for his friend Hlavsa Four Pieces for Solo Flute (recorded by Carlo Jans Complete Chamber Music Work for flute by Jindfiich Feld Vol III UP 0120). In this 1st period Feld also wrote his most popular piece for flute: the Sonata for Flute and Piano (1957), commissioned by Rampal immediately after the first performance of the concerto (recorded first by Carlo Jans and Daniel Blumenthal for Pavane Records ADW 7392, for the second time in the composer’s orchestration for flute and string orchestra by Carlo Jans and the Prague Chamber Orchestra for the Czech label ArcoDiva UP 0097 and for the third time on Vol II UP 0119 of the present collection). The second period, which evolved in the sixties, can be characterized by a very individual amalgamation of his personal style with modern technical methods of composition (dodecaphony, serial technique, aleatorics etc), which contributed to a stylistic crystallization of his creative output. The two most important compositions of this period are the String Quartet No. 4 (1965), extensively performed by the Smetana and many other quartets, for which he was awarded the State Prize in 1968, and the Symphony No. 1 (1967), which has been performed by the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra under the direction of Antonio de Almeida. Other works of this period that exemplify Feld’s sense for architectural proportions, effective instrumentation, rhythmical pulsation etc., are the Suite for String Chamber Orchestra, or Three Frescoes for Orchestra performed by the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra, and also the Dramatic Fantasy The Days of August, composed in 1968–69 as a protest against the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968. This work was premièred in Adelaide (South Australia) by the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra conducted by Henry Krips in August 1969, on the first anniversary of this brutal act. A very difficult work for flute and bass-clarinet (or bassoon) was created in this period, Duo (1962). This appears in the version for flute and bassoon in our collection in Vol III. The dodecaphonic Trio for Flute, Violin and Violoncello of 1963 is recorded in CD Nr. I of the collection. Feld’s third period, comprising his output in the seventies and eighties, can be considered a synthesis of his creative activity characterized by further intensification of both content and expression.

His largest and most important work is the oratorio-cantata Cosmae chronica Boemorum, composed on a medieval Latin text by the first Czech chronicler Cosmas (+1125), and based on Czech history. In 1968 and 1969, Jindfiich Feld accepted an invitation to be Guest Professor of Composition at the Adelaide University in Australia. He continued his interest in teaching at the Prague Conservatory, where he was Professor of composition from 1972 until 1986. In 1972, Feld wrote a Trio for Violin, Violoncello and Piano, reproduced in the version Trio for Flute, Violoncello and Piano on CD Nr. II. During his professorship at the conservatory, he wrote for the German flautist Lucchesi Contrasts for Solo Flute (1973) reproduced on CD Nr. III. The French publisher Leduc commissioned several pieces, like Two Dances for Flute and Guitar (1975), recorded on CD Nr. III, or Five Inventions for Two Flutes (1975) recorded by Carlo Jans and Carine Forget on CD Nr. I of the collection. Jindfiich Feld was also guest lecturer at Indiana University (Bloomington, USA) in 1981 and 1984. In addition, he lectured at several other American universities as well as in Denmark, Norway, Germany, France, Great Britain and in 1991 in Japan. He was the recipient of numerous prizes in various competitions in Czechoslovakia and other countries. Jindfiich Feld then continued to add to his catalogue many varied works. Among these were several pieces for flute (e.g. Concert Fantasy for Flute and String Orchestra, written for the “International Competition Jean-Pierre Rampal, Paris 1980” (recorded by Carlo Jans and the Prague Radio Orchestra with Vladimír Válek for Pavane Records ASW 7469) In 1981, another virtuoso composition was written for the German flautist Immanuel Lucchesi, the piece Concert Duo for Two Flutes (1981) full of many difficult passages and requiring much ensemble rehearsal, is here recorded by Carlo and his wife on CD Nr. III of the collection. A jubilant, concertant piece for a brilliant player is the Sonatina for Flute and Harp (1986) (CD Nr. II). During a stay in Prague in 1989, the famous flautist James Galway ordered a concerto for flute, piano and orchestra. Feld, impressed by the virtuosity of Galway and his pianist Phillip Moll, wrote a cheerfull, virtuoso piece Concertino pour flûte, piano et orchestre (recorded by Carlo Jans, Daniel Blumenthal, piano and the Prague Radio Orchestra with Vadimír Válek for Pavane Records ASW 7469). Since the Czechoslovak democratic revolution in November 1989, he was active as a key member of several committees and organizations in his country (e.g. “Association of Czech Musicians and Musicologists”). In 1990, he accepted the position of Head of the Music Department of the Czechoslovak Radio until 1992. We also find in his catalogue works for wind band. In 1998, he completed his most important work of the last period, Symphony No. 3 “Fin de siècle”, followed in 2001 by the Sinfonietta with the subtitle “Pour les temps d’harmonie”, commissioned by Radio France. The nineties were very fertile for the flute: For Roberto Fabbriciani, Jindfiich Feld wrote the demanding virtuoso piece Introduction, Toccata and Fugue for Solo Flute (1991), CD Nr. II. For Susan Milan, Feld created his formidable, virtuoso work Quintetto Capriccioso (1994–1995). Beside his String Quartet No. 6, dedicated to the PraÏák Quartet, this is one of Feld’s most important works. We find the recording of Quintetto Capriccioso for Flute, Violin, Viola, Violoncello and Harp (1994/1995) with the Czech harpist Katefiina Englichová and members of the MartinÛ Quartet as the opening piece on CD Nr. I of the collection. In the same period, Feld wrote for his American friends Lana Johns and Joel Harrison the American Sonatina for Flute and Piano (1995) recorded by Carlo Jans and Daniel Blumenthal on CD Nr. I. The duo Jans – Greisch presents on CD Nr. I the Divertimento for Flute and Guitar (1996). The work for flute and string quartet Flautarchia (2000), full of musical contrasts, was recorded in collaboration with the MartinÛ Quartet and opens CD Nr. II of the Complete recording of Feld’s chamber music for flute. The years 2001/2002 bring us three impressive, humorous, satirical pieces: in 2001 the German Publisher Zimmermann asked all the current composers represented by the house to compose variations on the well known Serenata by Ricardo Drigo. Feld wrote Fantasia Concertante sul tema della Serenata di Riccardo Drigo (2001) an humorous piece for piccolo/bass flute and piano, originally for soprano/bass ocarina, an instrument played by Feld himself, recorded here by Jans and Blumenthal to close CD Nr. II of the collection. In the same year, the Hungarian-German flautist András Adorján requested a solo flute piece suitable for an encore, based on the famous flute solo in the last act of Mozart’s Magic Flute. Adorjáns’ former student Carlo Jans presents the “sorcery” Erinnerung an Mozart für Zauberflöte Solo on CD Nr. I. As a test piece for a competition, Feld wrote for the Italian flautist Gian-Luca Petrucci the difficult solo piece Fantaisie – Variations sur un thème de Leonardo de Lorenzo (2002), CD Nr. II. The Nocturne (2002) for Flute and String Trio, written and dedicated to the memory of Feld’s friend, the great French flautist Jean-Pierre Rampal, closes the 3-CD collection, but does not conclude the composer’s fruitful output. The Musique Concertante pour flûte, alto, harpe et orchestre à cordes was written in 2005 at the request of the Luxembourgish Ambassador Pierre-Louis Lorenz for the Bohemia-Luxembourg Trio (Carlo Jans, flute, Jitka Hosprová, viola, Katefiina Englichová, harp). The piece is written for a combination of instruments revealed by the famous Sonata for flute, viola and harp by Claude Debussy. However it is unique in combining this trio of instruments with string orchestra. The piece was first performed at the Rudolfinum Hall in Prague in March 2007. This piece is the last piece, Jindfiich Feld wrote for his favourite instrument, the flute (recorded by the Bohemia – Luxembourg Trio and the Prague Chamber Orchestra for the Czech label ArcoDiva UP 0097 and published as the final work on Vol III of the present collection). Carlo Jans – flute He began his first flute lessons at the age of seven, violin lessons at twelve. On the completion of his training in Luxembourg and Nancy (class of Jacques Mule), he continued his studies at the Con- feld 16.9.2009 9:46 Str. 4 The most important works of this period are Concertos for Piano, Violin, Saxophone, Harp and others, String Quartet No. 5, Saxophone Quartet, Symphony No. 2 or Laus Cantus for Soprano Voice and String Quartet, dedicated to the memory of Johann Sebastian Bach (1985).

On the completion of his training in Luxembourg and Nancy (class of Jacques Mule), he continued his studies at the Con- feld 16.9.2009 9:46 Str. 5 servatoire Royal de Liège, (Diplôme Supérieur de flûte) and at the Royal Conservatory of Maastricht (Soloist’s Diploma). Being a student of Raymond Guiot, former soloist at Paris Opera, he was honoured with the “1. Prix Supérieur de la Ville de Paris”.

PoÏádal mne tehdy také o napsání velkého flétnového koncertu, kter˘ by snesl srovnání s repertoárem nástrojÛ jako jsou housle, violoncello nebo klavír. A nebyl to nikdo jin˘ neÏ Jean-Pierre Rampal, kdo tento koncert v roce 1956 natoãil a pak ho vefiejnû provedl v premiéfie v roce 1957. Díky Rampalovi zaãala b˘t flétna velmi dÛleÏit˘m sólov˘m nástrojem. Jeho následovníci pak pfiispûli k tomu, Ïe tento nástroj pro‰el neuvûfiiteln˘m v˘vojem a já jsem velmi hrd˘ na to, Ïe jsem mohl psát pro takové interpretaãní zjevy jako byli Rampal, Galway, Milan, Fabbriciani, Adorján, Petrucci a dal‰í. KdyÏ jsem psal své nové skladby pro flétnu (sólové, komorní nebo koncertantní), byl jsem inspirován pfiedev‰ím jejich umûním. Jeden z nejrenomovanûj‰ích flétnistÛ souãasnosti – Carlo Jans – se rozhodl po tom, co nahrál komplet m˘ch skladeb pro flétnu a orchestr, natoãit komplet m˘ch komorních skladeb pro tento nástroj. Byl jsem nesmírnû pfiekvapen tímto ambiciózním a udivujícím projektem a samozfiejmû to pro mne byla velká pocta a potû‰ení. Bez obdivuhodné a neselhávající virtuozity Carlo Janse ve spolupráci s jeho skvûl˘mi hudebními pfiáteli z âeské republiky, Lucemburska, Ameriky a Loty‰ska by tento projekt nebyl vÛbec moÏn˘. Jsem rovnûÏ velmi vdûãn˘ v‰em pracovníkÛm ve studiích, ktefií se na pfiípravû nahrávek podíleli, za jejich skvûlou práci. Vám v‰em patfií mÛj obdiv a velké podûkování VበJindfiich Feld Praha, kvûten 2006 Jindfiich Feld (1925–2007) se narodil v Praze v hudební rodinû, kde získal základy svého vzdûlání. Po studiu na PraÏské konzervatofii studoval na Hudební fakultû AMU a ve stejném roce 1952, kdy svá studia zakonãil, získal i doktorát na Filozofické fakultû Univerzity Karlovy – muzikologie, estetika a filozofie. ProtoÏe jeho tvorba nacházela hned od poãátku ‰irokou interpretaãní a posluchaãskou odezvu, mohl pÛsobit dlouhé období ve svobodném povolání a vûnovat se pouze kompozici. AutorÛv v˘voj lze ãlenit do tfií vût‰ích období. První je spojeno s autorov˘m navázáním na tradice evropské a zejména ãeské hudby, jak je zfiejmé i v jeho absloventské práci – Koncert pro orchestr. Tato kompozice jiÏ ukazuje autorovy charakteristické rysy: tonální základy jeho harmonie, jasnost formy, smysl pro nástrojovou virtuozitu, metrorytmickou invenci atd. Tyto rysy jsou pak dále rozvíjené pfiedev‰ím v Koncertu pro flétnu a orchestr (1954), uveden˘m Jeanem-Pierrem Rampalem (nahrávka: Carlo Jans a Symfonick˘ orchestr âeského rozhlasu, dirigent Vladimír Válek, Pavane Records ASW 7469) a v Koncertu pro violoncello a orchestr (1958). V roce 1956 napsal své jediné scénické dílo, dûtskou operu Po‰Èácká pohádka. V tomto období napsal Jindfiich Feld pro svého pfiítele Lutobora Hlavsu Čtyři kusy pro sólovou flétnu (nahrávka: Carlo Jans a Daniel Blumenthal, Pavane Records ADW 732, stejní interpreti rovnûÏ v pfiedkladaném kompletu Vol III, ArcoDiva UP 0120, ve verzi pro flétnu a smyãcov˘ orchestr: Carlo Jans, PraÏsk˘ komorní orchestr, ArcoDiva UP 0097). Druhé období spadá do ‰edesát˘ch let a je pro autora charakteristické tím, Ïe jeho osobní styl vstfiebával svébytn˘m zpÛsobem moderní kompoziãnû technické metody tehdej‰í doby (dodekafonii, seriální techniku, aleatoriku atd), coÏ pfiispûlo k v˘raznûj‰ímu stylovému vyhranûní jeho tvorby. NejdÛleÏitûj‰ími skladbami tohoto období jsou Smyãcov˘ kvartet ã. 4 (1965), ãasto hran˘ Smetanov˘m kvartetem i mnoha jin˘mi kvartety a v roce 1968 poctûn˘ Státní cenou, dále pak Symfonie ã. 1 (1967), provedená âeskou filharmonií za fiízení Antonia de Almeidy. Dal‰í díla tohoto období, která dosvûdãují FeldÛv smysl pro architektonickou proporãnost, efektní instrumentaci, v˘raznou rytmickou pulzaci jeho hudby apod., jsou kupfiíkladu Suita pro smyãcov˘ komorní orchestr, uvedená také jako abstraktní balet roku 1963 v Hanoveru v choreografii Yvonne Georgi, nebo Tfii fresky pro orchestr, provedené âeskou filharmonií, ale také Dramatická fantasie pro symfonick˘ orchestr „Srpnové dny“, vytvofiená na pfielomu let 1968–69 jako protest proti sovûtské invazi do âeskoslovenska v roce 1968. Premiéra tohoto díla se konala v jihoaustralské Adelaide v provedení adelaidského symfonického orchestru za fiízení dirigenta Henryho Kripse v srpnu 1969 k prvému v˘roãí tohoto brutálního ãinu. Velmi obtíÏnou skladbu pro flétnu a basklarinet (pfiípadnû fagot) Duo napsal Jindfiich Feld v roce 1962. Je vydávána v rámci tohoto kompletu v tfietí ãásti, zatímco Trio pro flétnu, housle a violoncello z roku 1963 vychází na tomto pfiedkládaném disku. Tfietí období, obsahující tvorbu z let sedmdesát˘ch a osmdesát˘ch, lze povaÏovat za syntézu autorovy tvÛrãí ãinnosti, charakterizovanou v˘razov˘m i obsahov˘m prohloubením jeho osobního slohu. Pfiineslo v˘znamná díla jako jsou koncerty pro sólov˘ nástroj a orchestr (klavírní, houslov˘, saxofonov˘, harfov˘ a dal‰í), Smyãcov˘ kvartet ã. 5, Saxofonov˘ kvartet, Symfonii ã. 2 nebo Laus Cantus pro soprán a smyãcové kvarteto, vûnovan˘ památce J. S. Bacha (1985). NejzávaÏnûj‰ím a nejrozsáhlej‰ím dílem je v‰ak kantáta-oratorium Kosmova kronika česká (Cosmae Chronica Boemorum), na stfiedovûk˘ latinsk˘ text prvého ãeského kronikáfie Kosmy (+1125), líãící nejstar‰í události rané ãeské historie. V roce 1968 a 1969 pÛsobil Jindfiich Feld jako hostující profesor kompozice v Austrálii na universitû v Adelaide. Jeho zájem o pedagogickou ãinnost se projevil i pozdûji v âeskoslovensku, kde vyuãoval jako profesor skladby od roku 1972 aÏ do roku 1986 na praÏské konzervatofii. V roce 1972 napsal Feld Trio pro flétnu, violoncello a klavír (pÛvodnû pro housle, violoncello a klavír), které je v kompletu na CD ã. II. Bûhem pÛsobení na konzervatofii napsal i Kontrasty pro flétnu (1973), které vycházejí v kompletu na CD ã. III nebo Pět invencí pro dvě flétny (1975) – na pfiedkládaném disku. feld 16.9.2009 9:46 Str. 7 S technick˘mi a v˘razov˘mi moÏnostmi flétny mne seznámil na poãátku padesát˘ch let mÛj pfiítel a flétnista âeské filharmonie Lutobor Hlavsa.

Tyto rysy jsou pak dále rozvíjené pfiedev‰ím v Koncertu pro flétnu a orchestr (1954), uveden˘m Jeanem-Pierrem Rampalem (nahrávka: Carlo Jans a Symfonick˘ orchestr âeského rozhlasu, dirigent Vladimír Válek, Pavane Records ASW 7469) a v Koncertu pro violoncello a orchestr (1958). V roce 1956 napsal své jediné scénické dílo, dûtskou operu Po‰Èácká pohádka. V tomto období napsal Jindfiich Feld pro svého pfiítele Lutobora Hlavsu Čtyři kusy pro sólovou flétnu (nahrávka: Carlo Jans a Daniel Blumenthal, Pavane Records ADW 732, stejní interpreti rovnûÏ v pfiedkladaném kompletu Vol III, ArcoDiva UP 0120, ve verzi pro flétnu a smyãcov˘ orchestr: Carlo Jans, PraÏsk˘ komorní orchestr, ArcoDiva UP 0097). Druhé období spadá do ‰edesát˘ch let a je pro autora charakteristické tím, Ïe jeho osobní styl vstfiebával svébytn˘m zpÛsobem moderní kompoziãnû technické metody tehdej‰í doby (dodekafonii, seriální techniku, aleatoriku atd), coÏ pfiispûlo k v˘raznûj‰ímu stylovému vyhranûní jeho tvorby. NejdÛleÏitûj‰ími skladbami tohoto období jsou Smyãcov˘ kvartet ã. 4 (1965), ãasto hran˘ Smetanov˘m kvartetem i mnoha jin˘mi kvartety a v roce 1968 poctûn˘ Státní cenou, dále pak Symfonie ã. 1 (1967), provedená âeskou filharmonií za fiízení Antonia de Almeidy. Dal‰í díla tohoto období, která dosvûdãují FeldÛv smysl pro architektonickou proporãnost, efektní instrumentaci, v˘raznou rytmickou pulzaci jeho hudby apod., jsou kupfiíkladu Suita pro smyãcov˘ komorní orchestr, uvedená také jako abstraktní balet roku 1963 v Hanoveru v choreografii Yvonne Georgi, nebo Tfii fresky pro orchestr, provedené âeskou filharmonií, ale také Dramatická fantasie pro symfonick˘ orchestr „Srpnové dny“, vytvofiená na pfielomu let 1968–69 jako protest proti sovûtské invazi do âeskoslovenska v roce 1968. Premiéra tohoto díla se konala v jihoaustralské Adelaide v provedení adelaidského symfonického orchestru za fiízení dirigenta Henryho Kripse v srpnu 1969 k prvému v˘roãí tohoto brutálního ãinu. Velmi obtíÏnou skladbu pro flétnu a basklarinet (pfiípadnû fagot) Duo napsal Jindfiich Feld v roce 1962. Je vydávána v rámci tohoto kompletu v tfietí ãásti, zatímco Trio pro flétnu, housle a violoncello z roku 1963 vychází na tomto pfiedkládaném disku. Tfietí období, obsahující tvorbu z let sedmdesát˘ch a osmdesát˘ch, lze povaÏovat za syntézu autorovy tvÛrãí ãinnosti, charakterizovanou v˘razov˘m i obsahov˘m prohloubením jeho osobního slohu. Pfiineslo v˘znamná díla jako jsou koncerty pro sólov˘ nástroj a orchestr (klavírní, houslov˘, saxofonov˘, harfov˘ a dal‰í), Smyãcov˘ kvartet ã. 5, Saxofonov˘ kvartet, Symfonii ã. 2 nebo Laus Cantus pro soprán a smyãcové kvarteto, vûnovan˘ památce J. S. Bacha (1985). NejzávaÏnûj‰ím a nejrozsáhlej‰ím dílem je v‰ak kantáta-oratorium Kosmova kronika česká (Cosmae Chronica Boemorum), na stfiedovûk˘ latinsk˘ text prvého ãeského kronikáfie Kosmy (+1125), líãící nejstar‰í události rané ãeské historie. V roce 1968 a 1969 pÛsobil Jindfiich Feld jako hostující profesor kompozice v Austrálii na universitû v Adelaide. Jeho zájem o pedagogickou ãinnost se projevil i pozdûji v âeskoslovensku, kde vyuãoval jako profesor skladby od roku 1972 aÏ do roku 1986 na praÏské konzervatofii. V roce 1972 napsal Feld Trio pro flétnu, violoncello a klavír (pÛvodnû pro housle, violoncello a klavír), které je v kompletu na CD ã. II. Bûhem pÛsobení na konzervatofii napsal i Kontrasty pro flétnu (1973), které vycházejí v kompletu na CD ã.
