플레옐 [Ignace Joseph Pleyel]프랑스 작곡가:Ignaz Josef Pleyel이라고도 씀.

1757. ~ 1831 (영조33년~ 순조33년 75년)  오스트리아 태생 프랑스의 작곡가, 음악 출판업자, 피아노 제조업자.

 

어려서부터 음악을 배웠으며 1772년 아이젠슈타트에 가서 요제프 하이든의 제자이자 하숙생이 되었다.

후에 플레옐은 그들이 친밀한 관계였다고 말했으며 하이든의 인형극 오페라 〈불타버린 집 Das abgebrannte Haus〉(1776?)의 서곡(아니면 적어도 서곡의 1·2악장)이 실제로는 플레옐의 작품이라는 점에서 하이든이 그를 상당히 존중했음을 알 수 있다. 그의 첫번째 직책은 아마도 프레스부르크에서 에르되디 백작의 악장이었던 듯한데 백작에게 그는 자신의 현악4중주 작품 1(1782~83)을 헌정했다. 1784년경 스트라스부르 성당의 부악장이 되었으며 1789년 악장이 죽자 그 자리를 계승했다.

 

1789년 그는 일련의 공공연주회를 기획하고 지휘했으며 그 연주회를 통해 자신의 작품들을 대중에게 알리는 기회를 가졌다. 스트라스부르 시기는 음악적으로 가장 생산적이었던 때였으며 작품 대부분이 1787~95년에 작곡되었다. 그의 작품 중 상당수가 유럽과 북아메리카에 널리 알려졌다. 프랑스 혁명으로 종교적·음악적 삶에 지장을 받게 되자 1791년 스트라스부르를 떠나 런던으로 갔는데 그곳에서도 그의 연주회는 많은 청중들을 끌어들였으며 그의 작품들, 특히 〈Symphonies Concertantes〉와 현악4중주들은 비평가들로부터 격찬을 받았다. 1795년초 파리에 정착해서 음악 상점을 열고 출판사를 설립했다. 이 출판사가 운영되었던 39년 동안 루이지 보케리니, 베토벤, 무치오 클레멘티, 얀 라디슬라프 두세크, 하이든의 작품들을 포함한 약 4,000여 곡이 출판되었다. 플레옐은 하이든의 현악 4중주와 교향곡을 시작으로 최초의 축소판 악보를 출판했다. 1813년 모든 사업에서 물러나려고 시도했지만 메종프레옐사(社)는 1834년 파리의 여러 음악 출판업자들에게 원판과 인쇄된 작품들을 팔고 완전히 출판을 중단할 때까지 유지되었다.

 

1807년 피아노 제조회사인 플레옐이 파리에서 설립되어 계속 번창했다. 1815년 플레옐의 장남인 카미유(1788~1855)가 회사의 합법적 동업자가 됨으로써 회사의 이름을 '이냐스플레옐에피스에네'로 했다. 유능한 경영자일 뿐만 아니라 감수성이 뛰어난 훌륭한 피아니스트로 인정받았던 카미유는 프레데리크 쇼팽의 절친한 친구였으며 쇼팽은 플레옐 회관에서 그의 파리 데뷔 연주회와 고별 연주회를 가졌다(후에 쇼팽은 1839년에 제작된 플레옐 그랜드 피아노를 소유했음). 1855년에 카미유가 죽자 그의 사위인 오귀스트 볼프(1821~87)가 뒤를 이었으며 회사의 이름도 플레옐 볼프사가 되었다. 볼프가 죽은 후에는 그의 사위인 귀스타브 리용(1857~1936)이 회사를 이끌었고 그는 다시 회사의 이름을 플레옐리용사로 바꾸었다. 이 회사는 19세기말 크로매틱 하프의 개발로 잘 알려져 있다.<출처:다음백과

Life

Early years

He was born in Ruppersthal in Lower Austria, the son of a schoolmaster named Martin Pleyel. He was the 24th of 38 children in the family.^[1] While still young, he probably studied with Johann Baptist Vanhal, and from 1772 he became the pupil of Joseph Haydn in Eisenstadt. As with Beethoven, born 13 years later, Pleyel benefited in his study from the sponsorship of aristocracy, in this case Count Ladislaus Erdődy (1746–1786). Pleyel evidently had a close relationship with Haydn, who considered him to be a superb student.

Among Pleyel's apprentice work from this time was a puppet opera Die Fee Urgele, (1776) performed in the marionette theater at the palace of Eszterháza and in Vienna. Pleyel apparently also wrote at least part of the overture of Haydn's opera Das abgebrannte Haus, from about the same time.

Pleyel's first professional position may have been as Kapellmeister for Count Erdődy, although this is not known for certain. Among his early publications was a set of six string quartets, his Opus 1.

Pleyel Museum and his birthplace, Ruppersthal, Lower Austria

In the early 1780s, Pleyel visited Italy, where he composed an opera (Ifigenia in Aulide) and works commissioned by the King of Naples.

Strasbourg 1783–1795

Attracted to the benefits associated with an organist position, Pleyel moved to Strasbourg, France in 1783 to work alongside Franz Xaver Richter the maître de chapelle at the Strasbourg Cathedral.^[2] The Cathedral was extremely appealing to Pleyel as it possessed a full orchestra, a choir, and a large budget devoted to performances.^[3] After establishing himself in France, Pleyel voluntarily called himself by the French version of his name, Ignace. While he was the assistant maître de chapelle at Strasbourg Cathedral, he wrote more works than during any other period in his musical career (1783–1793).^[4] At the cathedral, he would organize concerts that featured his symphonies concertantes and liturgical music.^[5] After Richter's death in 1789, Pleyel assumed the function of full maître de chapelle. In 1788 Pleyel married Françoise-Gabrielle Lefebvre, the daughter of a Strasbourg carpet weaver. The couple had four children, the eldest being their son Camille. Maria Pleyel, née Moke (1811–1875), the wife of Camille, was one of the most accomplished pianists of her time.

In 1791, the French Revolution abolished musical performances in church as well as public concerts. Seeking alternative employment, Pleyel traveled to London, where he led the "Professional Concerts" organized by Wilhelm Cramer. In this capacity Pleyel inadvertently played the role of his teacher's rival, as Haydn was at the same time leading the concert series organized by Johann Peter Salomon. Although the two composers were rivals professionally, they remained on good terms personally.

Just like Haydn, Pleyel made a fortune from his London visit. on his return to Strasbourg, he bought a large house, the Château d'Ittenwiller in nearby St. Pierre.

With the onset of the Reign of Terror in 1793 and 1794, life in France became dangerous for many, not excluding Pleyel. Pleyel was brought before the Committee of Public Safety a total of seven times due to the following: his foreign status, his recent purchase of a château, and his ties with the Strasbourg Cathedral.^[6] He was subsequently labeled a Royalist collaborator. The outcome of the Committee's attentions could easily have been imprisonment or even execution. With prudent opportunism, Pleyel preserved his future by writing compositions in honor of the new republic. All were written in Strasbourg at times surrounding the Terror. Below are the pieces composed with dates of publication and details:^[7]

1. La Prise de Toulon ("The capture of Toulon") for solo and 3 voice choir with piano accompaniment. (19 February 1794)
2. Hymne de Pleyel chanté au Temple de la Raison ("Hymn sung in the Temple of Reason") for choir with piano accompaniment. (1793 or 1794; dates disputed)
3. Hymne à l'Être Suprême ("Hymn to the Supreme Being") two part cantata (performed 8 June 1794)
4. La Révolution du 10 août ("The Revolution of August 10") for soloists, choir, and orchestra (10 August 1794)^[8]

Most of these compositions debuted at the Strasbourg Cathedral. However, during the Terror, churches were outlawed and the Strasbourg Cathedral was known as the Temple de l'Être Suprême (Temple of the Supreme Being). He became a naturalized French citizen and thus came to be known as Citoyen (citizen) Pleyel.^[9] With his involvement in artistic propaganda and loyalism to the new regime, Pleyel can be seen as the ultimate musical champion of Strasbourg republicanism.^[10]

In addition to composing the above works for the Strasbourg public, Pleyel also contributed to the Parisian music scene during the Revolution. one example is Le Jugement de Pâris, a pantomime-ballet by Citoyen (Citizen) Gardel and performed with Pleyel's music (along with that of Haydn, and Étienne Méhul) on 5 March 1793.^[11]

Pleyel as businessman

Pleyel moved to Paris in 1795. In 1797 he set up a business as a music publisher ("Maison Pleyel"), which among other works produced a complete edition of Haydn's string quartets (1801), as well as the first miniature scores for study (the Bibliothèque Musicale, "musical library"). The publishing business lasted for 39 years and published about 4000 works during this time, including compositions by Adolphe Adam, Luigi Boccherini, Ludwig van Beethoven, Muzio Clementi, Johann Baptist Cramer, Johann Ladislaus Dussek, Johann Nepomuk Hummel and Georges onslow.

Pleyel visited Vienna on business in 1805, meeting his now elderly mentor Haydn for a final time and hearing Beethoven play.

In 1807, Pleyel became a manufacturer of pianos; for more on the Pleyel piano firm, see below.

Old age

Pleyel retired in 1824 and moved to the countryside about 50 km outside Paris. He died in 1831, apparently quite aware that his own musical style had been fully displaced by the new Romanticism in music.^{[citation needed]} He was buried in Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris.

Pleyel's music

Pleyel was prolific, composing 41 symphonies, 70 string quartets and several string quintets and operas. Many of these works date from the Strasbourg period; Pleyel's production tailed off after he had become a businessman.

<작품:교향곡41곡, 현악4중주 70곡, 현악5중주 및 오페라  다수>

Recent scholarship has suggested that the theme for the Variations on a Theme by Joseph Haydn, by Johannes Brahms, opus 56a, was probably composed not by Haydn but by Ignaz Pleyel.

<최근 연구는  브람스의 하이든 주제에 의한 변주곡은 하이든 곡이 아니고 플레옐 곡일지도 모른다.>
