[LUTE] Re: Rust, Friedrich Wilhelm
I made in 1988/89 a reconstruction of the three sonatas for violin (flute) and lute (still available). Below you will find the text from my edition, published in 1998. The sonata for viola is not edited (re-intabulated) for lute. Friedrich Wilhelm Rust (1739 -1796) Three Sonatas for Lute and obligato Violin/Flute reconstructed by Andreas Schlegel 1. The riddle and its solution The present edition is unusual in some respects. The reason for this is that there is no known source of these three sonatas which stems from the time of the composer Friedrich Wilhelm Rust and which transmits the music in an âincorruptâ state. The trail leading to this edition proceeds via âfraudâ and reconstruction. But, one thing at a time... The Sources and their History Two sources of these sonatas survive: 1. Manuscript âRust 53â (Staatsbibliothek Preussischer Kulturbesitz, Berlin). This contains the lute part, notated in tablature, and the violin part, written in standard notation, of all three sonatas. 2. âMs. 40150â (formerly in the Preussische Staatsbibliothek; now held by the Jagiellonska Library, Krakow). This contains, among other things, merely the lute part, notated in tablature, of the first two sonatas. âRust 53â probably remained in the possession of Rustâs family after the composerâs death, and thus was handed down to his grandson Wilhelm Rust, cantor of the Thomas Church in Leipzig and music researcher. This Wilhelm Rust was probably the author of the article âTabulaturâ in the âMusicalisches Konversations-Lexikonâ by Mendel and Reissmann published in 1878. The first 17 measures of Friedrich Wilhelm Rustâs second sonata appear there as an example of lute tablature. In 1892, the three sonatas were published in Wilhelm Rustâs arrangement for piano and violin by Schweers & Harke of Bremen. The strange thing about the 1892 edition and about the present condition of the source âRust 53â is that the lute part is virtually unplayable; long passages are completely unidiomatic. Stranger yet: the 1892 tablature part is no longer the same one used as an illustration in Mendel and Reissmannâs lexicon. Thus, âRust 53â was changed extensively after 1878. Voices were added, the texture was made more dense and, to some extent, strongly romanticized. Strangest of all, these radical changes were penned into the original tablature-manuscript - with all the effort involved, it being a matter of hundreds of careful erasures and insertions! Two persons come into question as arranger: either the then-owner of the source Wilhelm Rust, who thus would have carried out the changes sometime between 1878 and his death in May 1892, or an unknown person who carried them out sometime after their appearance in Rustâs edition. According to the latter hypothesis, it would seem that the intervention in âRust 53â was intended to mask the difference between the original manuscript and Wilhelm Rustâs piano edition. One can imagine these arrangements in the context of the âRust caseâ: Wilhelm Rust wanted to use the ârevisedâ editions of his grandfatherâs works to present him as Beethovenâs predecessor. This fraud was not discovered until 1912/13, when Ernst Neufeldt noticed it. Although it seems likely that Wilhelm Rust was the author of this arrangement and thus the âcounterfeiterâ of the source âRust 53â, it is not possible at the moment to claim this for sure. However, there does exist the previously-mentioned second source. âMs. 40150â. As the present author pointed out in his article âZur Neuausgabe der Sonaten für Laute und obligate Violine/Flöte von Friedrich Wilhelm Rustâ (âConcerning the re-edition of the sonatas for lute and obligato violin/flute by Friedrich Wilhelm Rustâ) in Gitarre und Laute 6/1989, pp. 41-47, the manuscript âRust 53â, at least as far as the lute part of Sonatas 1 and 2 is concerned, is probably a copy of the manuscript âMs. 40150â. According to a note by Wilhelm Rust, âMs. 40150â was unknown until January 1892 at least. It was not until 1897 that the music researcher and lute connoisseur Wilhelm Tappert bought this manuscript in a antiquarian book store. The source went from Tappert to the former Royal Library in Berlin. In 1944 it was transferred for safekeeping to Fürstenstein; thenceforth it was considered, in the West at least, as missing. Not until a few years ago, in 19! 88, did the present editor succeed in finding the manuscript in the Biblioteka Jagiellonska in Krakow. This in turn made it possible to compare the original (âMs. 40150â) and the counterfeit (âRust 53â). This comparison and its consequences will now be exemplified on the basis of the lute part of the second movement of the second sonata: Let us begin with the more or less usual editorial interventions: the provision of dynamic markings and articulation signs, realization of

I looked at its facsimile at the Lincoln center library 25 years ago, but I remember little. The slow movement looked interesting. RT http://turovsky.org Feci quod potui.

[LUTE] Rust, Friedrich Wilhelm
Anyone knows anything about a Sonata per liuto et viola d'amore (C Major) by Friedrich Wilhelm Rust? There is a facsimile of the score in Berlin with both parts in notation - I am just wondering about the quality of the music. I am not the only one, and there is a nice controversy about his works that may have been "modernized" by his grand son, Wilhem Rust, that involved Debussy and Vincent D'Indy among others. Friedrich Wilhelm wrote music for the tangent piano, as well as violin, harp and oboe. He also wrote a Sonata for Violin and Lute (No.2) in d minor according to YouTube.
