Dittersovy skladby ve schwarzenberské hudební sbírce a v hudebním životě knížecího dvora
Ditters' Compositions in the Schwarzenberg Music Collection and the Music Life of the Princely Court

Summary/Abstract: From the perspective of the number of Dittersdorf's compositions preserved, the Schwarzenberg music collection is a relatively small, but very valuable one, particularly in the field of orchestral music. Some of the copies preserved here could be considered unique with regard to the present state of investigation (although their authorship is therefore questionable). Despite this fact, this source of information on Ditters' music presently remains rather unknown, and for instance in the RISM catalogue it is recorded only partially. The aim of this study is therefore to create a more detailed overview of the identified Dittersiana, as well as to reflect on the role of these compositions in the music activities of the Schwarzenberg princes and their employees.
