Productomschrijving

Leopold Jansa was born on 23 March 1795 in Wildenschwert (Bohemia). We know nothing of his first musical attempts, which began during his High School years in Brünn. It seems he diligently taught himself to play the violin. Complying with his father's wishes, Jansa went to Vienna in 1817 to study law, but decided after a short while to devote himself entirely to music, studied composition with Jan Hugo VoriÜek und Emanuel Förster and managed to compete as a violinist with such local celebrities as Mayseder, Schuppanzigh and Böhm. In 1823 Jansa became a member of the Braunschweig orchestra. After returning to Vienna in 1824, he joined the Court orchestra and from 1834 on held the post of musical director of Vienna University. After Schuppanzigh's death, and with his quartet, he continued the tradition of public chamber music concerts. During a concert tour in London in 1849 he stood up for the banned Hungarian rebels, whereupon he was summarily deprived of his Austrian citizenship. He spent his years of exile in England as a respected violin teacher of 'high position'. In 1868, political circumstances permitting, Jansa returned to Vienna. Here, 'enriched' by an Imperial pension, he worked as a highly esteemed teacher, composer and influential organizer of concerts until his death on 24 January 1875. This composer's output has survived as popular study material for violin methods. But the Biedermeier charm of his Duets, Trios and Quartets, mainly for strings, the Paraphrases and Variations on popular pieces of the contemporary repertoire deserve a better fate. His treatment of the instruments is invariably felicitous. With modest means, the player of Leopold Jansa's pieces will acquire a mastery of the melodic Schubertian attitudes now back in fashion. The three Duos for violin and viola op. 70 are clear evidence of this. They belong among the most effective and excellent works of this genre, and may well enrich concert programmes as well (Amadeus BP 2551). Jansa's Cantilene in D major, first published in 1867 by Schott, is a most attractive recital piece, which makes bravura use of the viola's great expressive possibilities - without being exaggeratedly difficult!
