Abstract
This project examines the first movements of the nine woodwind quintets by Franz Ignaz Danzi (1763-1826), Opp. 56, 67, and 68, in order to substantiate the ubiquitous claims surrounding the composer as being a “founder” of the genre, alongside Anton Reicha (1770-1836). A brief background on Danzi provides information on the composer’s musical training as well as his compositional career, which had direct impact on the composer’s blended Classical and pre-Romantic style. Additionally, there is a chapter dedicated to the development of wind chamber music during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. This consideration to earlier wind music, particularly the Harmonie, will aid in placing Danzi at the genesis of the modern woodwind quintet. Lastly, I have included extensive formal and stylistic analyses of the first movements in order to show key aspects of the composer’s transitional style within a new medium—the woodwind quintet.
