Nettl, Paul(b Hohenelbe [now Vrchlabí], Bohemia, 10 Jan 1889; d Bloomington, IN, 8 Jan 1972). American musicologist of Czech-German descent, father of Bruno Nettl. He was educated at the German University in Prague, where he studied law (JurD 1913), musicology with Heinrich Rietsch (PhD 1915) and theory with Gerhard von Keussler. After military service in World War I he worked in Vienna under Adler. In 1920 he returned to Prague, where he taught at the German University and served temporarily as head of the musicological institute. In 1930, when it became clear that his Jewish origins would prevent permanent academic advancement, he became more active in journalism, and became music director for German radio in Czechoslovakia (1933). After the German occupation in 1939 he made his way to the USA, where he taught at the Westminster Choir College in Princeton, New Jersey, and in New York and Philadelphia. He was professor of musicology at Indiana University in Bloomington (1946–59), and also held positions at the Cincinnati Conservatory and at Roosevelt University in Chicago. After his retirement he continued to write and to teach part-time at Indiana until 1963, also lecturing for Südwestdeutscher Rundfunk, Stuttgart, and elsewhere. Nettl published many books and articles dealing with his primary research subjects: the music of the 17th and 18th centuries, Austrian and Bohemian music history, dance history, Mozart and Beethoven. He also wrote widely for the general reader, covering such diverse subjects as Mozart's involvement with freemasonry, national anthems, Luther and music, and Casanova and music; he published over 400 items altogether.

MATTHEWS Neubauer [Neubaur], Franz Christoph(b Hořín, nr Mělník, c1760; d Bückeburg, 11 Oct 1795). Czech violinist and composer. He was born of peasant parentage in the Czech-speaking part of central Bohemia. He received his early musical training from a local schoolmaster and was already a skilled violinist and composer when, still very young, he went to Prague to continue his studies. Like many of his Czech contemporaries he left his native country, and his early travels took him to various monasteries in Bavaria, performing and composing in return for food and lodging. Documentary records indicate that in autumn 1780 he visited the Augustinian monasteries Au am Inn and Gars am Inn as well as the Benedictine monastery Attel am Inn. In 1781 he stayed in the Upper Bavarian cloisters of Diessen, Andechs, Schäftlarn and Fürstenfeld. Further journeys took him to Munich and Vienna, where, according to Schlichtegroll, he made the acquaintance of Haydn, Mozart, and his compatriots Kozeluch and Wranitzky. Important among other monasteries visited were Ottobeuren, where he taught music intermittently from 1783 to 1787, St Blasien (1786), and Schöntal, where Abbé Vogler expressed great admiration for his talents; records also confirm sojourns in Konstanz, Speyer, Heilbronn, Zürich and Koblenz. Neubauer obtained his first permanent position at Weilburg in 1790, but was forced to flee by the invasion of the French revolutionary armies. Following several appearances as a performer in Hannover, he briefly held a position at Minden before finally accepting an invitation from the Princess of Schaumburg-Lippe to join the court at Bückeburg. The resident Konzertmeister there was J.C.F. Bach, and Neubauer’s arrival precipitated immediate rivalry between the two composers. After Bach’s death Neubauer succeeded him, but within a year he succumbed to an illness that was attributed to excessive drinking. Neubauer was a prolific and remarkably facile composer, as is shown by the number and variety of works he wrote during his short life. Predictably, as with most minor composers of the late 18th century, the influence of Haydn and Mozart can be detected in his works, which, although somewhat uneven, are considerably more than an eclectic fusion of traits from both composers, and reveal a skilled craftsman and imaginative composer with a marked individuality. His symphonies, quartets, concertos (particularly that for piano) and a piano trio are among his best instrumental works. For the most part they adhere to the three-movement plan, but in other respects are typical of his age. The forms are clear and well balanced, with the expected tonal organization of the Classical period, but in the development sections far-ranging modulations emphasize mediant relationships that are approached by shifts from major to minor. The quartets are not in the customary violin-dominated style, and go far towards achieving equal participation of all the instruments. Although he was known among earlier chroniclers principally as a ‘Sonatenkomponist’, recent research confirms that Neubauer’s considerable body of church music occupied a significant position at the time. His Missa Solemnis ex Dis is notable for containing a clarinet part and his Stabat mater (1781) is of remarkable quality. Other vocal music includes collections of solo songs, some of which achieve a surprising equality between voice and piano. WORKSinstrumentalthematic index in Sjoerdsma
