Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, the historical development of German musician training from the 18th century to the middle of the 19th century is described by old musician Types, so called Musicus (composer, music director, and musician with academic knowledge) and Musikant(musicians who only play Instruments).
Before the 18th century, the Musikant type Instruction acquired music skills in Apprenticeship System. And the Musicus type acquired music skills in relation to churches and schools while receiving intellectual elite education. And from the middle of the 19th century, training through the Conservatory (College of Music) began in earnest. Between both period, the Musikant type had an apprenticeship system,too, but the institutionalization by the state began.The Musicus type instruction was more institutionalised(en-school), but the required music level was still high as before period.It was also revealed that the Conservatory after the mid-19th century was a place to cross over both types.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

西洋音楽史学的な面から言えば、徒弟制度型音楽家養成→音楽院・開放型ヴィルトゥオーソの養成という単線型の史的展開の合間を埋め、傍系として見られていた教員養成の領域に音楽家を生み出す力があったことを改めて明らかにできた。一方、教科教育の展開や教育思潮ばかりに目が行きがちだった音楽教育学の面からは、このような教員養成と音楽家の関係は従来顧みられることがなかった。このような両学問領域の盲点を指摘し、改めて音楽家養成の歴史には解明すべき点が多くあることを浮き彫りにしたことに意義があったと考えている。
