'Fantasy on the Freischütz' by P. Taffanel in relation to the opera

By Ju Hee Kim

Carl Maria von Weber's Der Freisch tz is a well-known opera in Europe, and Paul Taffanel, inspired by it, composed his Fantasia for Flute and Piano sur le Freisch tz. This thesis compares the two different works, Carl Maria von Weber's Der Freisch tz and Paul Taffanel's sur le Freisch tz. The themes presented and varied in the fantasy are described in terms of their characteristics and textual significance in the opera. Paul Taffanel's variation work 'sur le Freisch tz' is a highly virtuosic piece for flute and piano. This thesis analyses both versions of Der Freisch tz in terms of their historical background, content and musical differences. In summary, it concludes that there are differences from a flute-playing perspective.
