Neumann, Věroslav(b Citoliby, nr Louny, Bohemia, 27 May 1931). Czech composer. He studied composition with Řídký at the Prague Academy of Musical Arts (1950–54) and at the same time directed several of the city's youth ensembles and its military ensemble. He worked with the Czech Music Fond (1958–60), and in the Union of Czechoslovak Composers (1962–9) occupied several positions, including that of general secretary and president (1968–9). During the 1950s he composed numerous mass songs, some of which were published and received awards at the Fifth World Youth Festival in Warsaw in 1955. His style of composition marked him as a traditionalist during these early years, though later he created a more personal style, taking ideas from new music such as the abandonment of strict metrical structures and the employment of akatoric procedures within tightly defined limits. His vocal works and songs for children have enjoyed widespread popular appeal. In 1982 his Soleils couchants received 3rd prize at the international choral competition in Tours, while in 1987 he won the prize of the Union of Czech Composers and that of the Czech publishing house Panton. A lecturer at the Popular Conservatory, a secondary music school, in Prague from 1969, in 1991 he was appointed director of the Prague Conservatory. WORKS(selective list)
JIŘÍ MACEK Neumann, Werner(b Königstein, 21 Jan 1905; d Leipzig, 24 April 1991). German musicologist. He studied the piano and music theory at the Leipzig Conservatory, and musicology (with Kroyer and Zenck), psychology and philosophy at Leipzig University, taking the doctorate there in 1938 with a dissertation on Bach’s choral fugues. His subsequent career was devoted to work on Bach. While working in Leipzig as a music teacher, critic and lecturer at the Musikhochschule he founded (1950) and directed the Bach-Archiv as the German centre for the collection of Bach documents; after joining the board of the Neue Bach-Gesellschaft (1952) he became co-editor of the Bach-Jahrbuch and the Neue Bach-Ausgabe (1953), to which he contributed several volumes. In 1954 he acquired professorial status. His writings include studies of Bach’s cantatas and their texts; he has also edited a pictorial biography and, with H.-J. Schulze, three volumes of Bach documents. He was twice honoured with a Festschrift, published as the fifth and ninth volumes of the series Bach-Studien (Eine Sammlung von Aufsätzen, ed. R. Heller and H.-J. Schulze, Leipzig, 1975 and Johann Sebastian Bachs Traditionsraum, ed. R. Szeskus and J. Asmus, Leipzig, 1986). WRITINGSJ.S.
