Abstract

Ludvig van Beethoven, well-known in music circles mainly due to his instrumental achievements, was indeed vividly interested in vocal-instrumental field. The focal point of his studies of the works of his predecessors , baroque and classicism masters, was the interrelation between the text and the score. The first Klangrede study was the oratorio entitled Christ on the Mount of Olives Op.85, the libretto by F.X. Huber. However, neither the Vienna audience nor the composer himself were contented with it. Thorough changes (in 1804 and 1811) resulted in implementing numerous elements from the Fidelio opera but the work still remained unsatisfying.
