- Wilhelm_Würfel abstract "Wilhelm Würfel, aka Wenzel Würfel (Czech: Václav Vilém Würfel , Polish: Wilhelm Wacław Würfel; May 6, 1790 - March 23, 1832) was a Czech composer, pianist and conductor. He was born in 1790 in Plaňany near Kolín in central Bohemia. His father was a schoolteacher. He studied piano with his mother. In 1807 he went to Prague where he studied with Václav Jan Tomášek. In 1815 he went to Warsaw where he was appointed a professor at the Warsaw Conservatory. He gave piano performances in Poland, Bohemia, Germany and Russia. In 1824 he returned to Prague and conducted his opera Rübezahl. From 1826 he stayed as a conductor in Vienna. He died in Vienna, aged 41.Works: Operas Rübezahl (Prague, October 7, 1824, Vienna, March, 1825) and Der RothmantelPiano works: Piano Concerto op. 28 (publ. Peters, Leipzig)Rondeau Brillant op. 20, op. 24 (publ. Peters, Leipzig), op. 25,and op. 30 (publ. Tobi Haslinger, Wien)Variations op. 16, op. 17, op. 19,and op. 29Polonoises op. 21, op. 27 (publ. Peters, Leipzig)His most famous pupil was the Polish romantic composer Frédéric Chopin, who studied with him at the Warsaw High School of Music between 1823-26.According to Jonathan Bellman in his book Chopin's Polish Ballade (45), one of Wurfel's programmatic pieces that Chopin must have known is the Grande fantaisie lugubre au souvenir des trois héros Prince Joseph Poniatowski, Kościuszko, et Dąbrowski, composé et dediée à la nation polonaise (Warsaw: Fuss, 1818). The composition exemplifies the flourishing Polish genre of fantasias that used narrative elements and quotations to express Polish nationalism. Wurfel's section headings are as follows: Fateful nightThe sounds of the bells of the three towers [These are the three towers of Wawel Cathedral in Kraków, Poland, where the three heroes are buried]Gloomy presentimentsDeath proclaims the end of the three heroesTerrorAcute suffering of the nationMemory of their self-sacrifice for the countryThey are no moreThe sound of the funeral bell from the cathedral announces the funeral ceremonyFuneral MarchGrateful sentiments of the nation According to Halina Goldberg in her book Music in Chopin's Warsaw (93), "The piece also speaks to the audiences through the evocation of familiar national tunes associated with the three heroes: in the section marked 'Souvenir de leur dévoument pour la patrie,' we hear successively Prince Poniatowski's Favorite March, the Trio of Kościuszko's Polonaise "And When You Depart, Fare Well" (A kiedy odjeżdżasz byawaj że zdrów), and the Dąbrowski Mazurka, (aka the Polish National Anthem)."".
