'''François-Joseph Fétis''' ({{IPA-fr|fetis|lang}}; 25 March 1784 – 26 March 1871) was a Belgian [[musicology|musicologist]], critic, teacher and [[composer]]. He was among the most influential music intellectuals in continental Europe.<ref>{{cite encyclopedia |last1=Ellis |first1=Katharine |author-link1=Katharine Ellis |last2=Wangermée |first2=Robert |year=2001 |encyclopedia=[[Grove Music Online]] |title=Fétis, François-Joseph |publisher=[[Oxford University Press]] |location=Oxford |doi=10.1093/omo/9781561592630.013.60000200743 |isbn=9781561592630 |url-access=subscription |url=https://www.oxfordmusiconline.com/grovemusic/view/10.1093/gmo/9781561592630.001.0001/omo-9781561592630-e-60000200743 }} {{Grove Music subscription}}</ref> His enormous compilation of biographical data in the ''Biographie universelle des musiciens'' remains an important source of information today.

==Family==
Fétis was born in [[Mons, Belgium|Mons]], [[Hainaut (province)|Hainaut]], eldest son of Antoine-Joseph Fetis and Elisabeth Desprets, daughter of a noted surgeon. He had nine brothers and sisters. His father was titular organist of the [[Saint Waltrude Collegiate Church|noble chapter of Saint-Waltrude]].<ref>F.J. FETIS 1784 - 1871. HET MUZIEKLEVEN VAN ZIJN TIJD. Brussel, Koninklijke Bibliotheek Albert I, 1972/ pag. xxiii</ref> His grandfather was an organ manufacturer. He was trained as a musician by his father and played at young age on the choir organ of Saint Waltrude.

In October 1806 he married Adélaïde-Louise-Catherine Robert, daughter of the French politician [[Pierre-François-Joseph Robert]] and Louise de Keralio, friend of [[Robespierre]]. They had two sons: the elder son [[Édouard Fétis]] (1812–1909) helped his father with the editions of ''[[Revue et gazette musicale de Paris|Revue Musicale]]'' and became member of the Royal Academy. 

In 1866 his wife died, and he withdrew from the Brussels society and court. When his father died, Eduard inherited his complete library and collection of musical instruments.

== Career ==
His talent for composition manifested itself at the age of seven, and at nine years old he was an organist at Saint Waltrude, Mons. In 1800 he went to [[Paris]] and completed his studies at the Conservatory under such masters as [[François-Adrien Boïeldieu|Boïeldieu]], [[Jean-Baptiste Rey]] and [[Louis-Barthélémy Pradher]].<ref name="EB1911">{{EB1911|inline=y|wstitle=Fétis, François Joseph|volume=10|pages=294-295}}</ref>

In 1806 he undertook the revision of the Roman [[liturgical chant]]s in the hope of discovering and establishing their original form. In this year he also began his ''Biographie universelle des musiciens'', the most important of his works, which did not appear until 1834.<ref name="EB1911"/>

In 1821 he was appointed professor at the [[Paris Conservatory]]. In 1827 he founded the ''[[Revue et gazette musicale de Paris|Revue musicale]]'', the first serious paper in [[France]] devoted exclusively to musical matters. Fétis remained in the French capital till 1833, when at the request of [[Leopold I of Belgium|Leopold I]], he became director of the [[Royal Conservatory of Brussels]] and the king's chapelmaster.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Damscrhroder|first1=David|title=Music Theory from Zarlino to Schenker|date=1990|publisher=Pendragon Press|location=Stuyvesant, NY|isbn=0-918728-99-1|pages=85}}</ref> He also was the founder, and, until his death, the conductor of the celebrated concerts attached to the conservatory of Brussels, and he inaugurated a free series of lectures on musical history and philosophy.<ref name="EB1911"/>

Fétis produced a large quantity of original compositions, from the [[opera]] and the [[oratorio]] to the simple [[chanson]], including several musical [[hoax]]es, the most famous of which is the "Lute concerto by Valentin Strobel", premiered with [[Fernando Sor]] as soloist.  Carcassi, as well as Sor, participated in the performance. The work is attributed NOT to the Alsascian lutenist Valentin Strobel, but to Jean (Johann) Strobach, a member of a prominent Bohemian family of musicians.  This Strobach (fl. 1650–1720) served Leopold I, and there is no evidence that Fetis's score is a hoax.   The composition was published in 1698, although no copy is known to have survived, except Fetis' manuscript score, which is in the Royal Conservatory Library in Brussels.{{Citation needed|date=December 2016}}

In 1856, he worked closely with [[Jean-Baptiste Vuillaume]] in writing a fascinating treatise about [[Antonio Stradivari]] (''Antoine Stradivari, luthier célèbre''). It includes detailed chapters on the history and development of the violin family, old master Italian violin makers (including the Stradivari and [[Guarneri]] families) and an analysis of the bows of [[François Tourte]]. His interest in instruments can also be gathered from his very substantial collection, which includes the oldest surviving Arab ''oud''.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://oudmigrations.com/2016/03/02/alexandria-to-brussels-1839/|title=Alexandria to Brussels, 1839|website=oudmigrations|date=2 March 2016|access-date=2016-04-26}}</ref>

Fetis had the privilege to have Paganini, Schumann and Berlioz as contemporaries and to work with the violin maker and dealer, Jean Baptiste Vuillaume. Fetis's work provides a unique window into the times and as such is a particularly valuable reference for the modern researcher, dealer and player.

More important perhaps than his compositions are his writings on music. They are partly historical, such as the ''Curiosités historiques de la musique'' (Paris, 1850), and the ''Histoire générale de la musique'' (Paris, 1869&mdash;1876); and partly theoretical, such as the ''Méthode des méthodes de piano'' (Paris, 1840), written in conjunction with [[Ignaz Moscheles|Moscheles]].<ref name="EB1911"/>

While Fétis's critical opinions of contemporary music may seem conservative, his musicological work was ground-breaking, and unusual for the 19th century in attempting to avoid an ethnocentric and present-centered viewpoint. Unlike many others at the time, he did not see music history as a continuum of increasing excellence, moving towards a goal, but rather as something which was continually ''changing'', neither becoming better nor worse, but continually adapting to new conditions. He believed that all cultures and times created art and music which were appropriate to their times and conditions; and he began a close study of [[Renaissance music]] as well as European folk music and music of non-European cultures. Thus Fétis built the foundation for what would later be termed [[comparative musicology]].

Fétis died in [[Brussels]]. His valuable library was purchased by the Belgian government and presented to the Royal Library. His historical works, despite many inaccuracies, remain of great value for historians.<ref name="EB1911"/>

His pupils included [[Luigi Agnesi]], [[Jean-Delphin Alard]], [[Juan Crisóstomo Arriaga]], [[Louise Bertin]], [[William Cusins]], [[Julius Eichberg]], [[Ferdinand Hérold]], [[Frantz Jehin-Prume]], [[Jacques-Nicolas Lemmens]], [[Adolphe Samuel]], and [[Charles-Marie Widor]]. {{See LMST|François-Joseph|Fétis}}

==Fétis and Berlioz==
Some of his criticisms of contemporary composers have become quite famous, as well as the responses that they engendered. He said of [[Hector Berlioz|Berlioz]], "...what Monsieur Berlioz composes is not part of that art which we distinguish as music, and I am completely certain that he lacks the most basic capability in this art." In the ''[[Revue et gazette musicale de Paris|Revue musicale]]'' issue of 1 February 1835<ref>{{Cite journal  |last=Fétis |first=Joseph |title=Analyse critique: Épisode de la vie d'un artiste |journal=Revue musicale |volume=IX<sup>me</sup> année |issue=5 |pages=33–35 |date=1 February 1835 |place=Paris |language=fr |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=F6q8r0PxmKkC&pg=PA33}}</ref> he wrote of the ''[[Symphonie Fantastique]]'':
{{blockquote|I saw that melody was antipathetic to him, that he only had a faint notion of rhythm; that his harmony, formed by an often monstrous accretion of notes, was nevertheless flat and monotonous; in a word I saw that he lacked melodic and harmonic ideas, and I judged that he would always write in a barbarous manner; but I saw that he had the instinct for instrumentation, and I thought that he could fulfil a useful vocation in discovering certain combinations that others would put to better use than he.<ref>See also

Norton |location=New York |isbn=0-393-09926-1 |page=[https://archive.org/details/lccn_74125861/page/217 217] |edition=1st }}</ref>}}

Berlioz, who had proof-read Fétis' editions of the first eight [[Beethoven]] symphonies for the publisher [[E.-T. Troupenas|Troupenas]],<ref>{{cite web |url=https://imslp.org/wiki/Troupenas |title=Troupenas |publisher=IMSLP |access-date=1 March 2020}}</ref> commented that

{{blockquote|[Fétis had altered Beethoven's harmonies] with unbelievable complacency. Opposite the E flat which the clarinet sustains over a chord of the sixth (D flat, F, B flat) in the andante of the C minor symphony, Fétis had naively written ‘This E flat must be F. Beethoven could not have possibly made so gross a blunder.' In other words, a man like Beethoven could not possibly fail to be in entire agreement with the harmonic theories of M. Fétis.}}

Troupenas did in fact remove Fétis' editorial marks, but Berlioz was still unsatisfied. He went on to criticize Fétis in one of the monologues of ''[[Lélio|Lélio, ou le Retour à la vie]]'', the 1832 sequel to ''Symphonie Fantastique'':

{{blockquote|These young theorists of eighty, living in the midst of a sea of prejudices and persuaded that the world ends with the shores of their island; these old libertines of every age who demand that music caress and amuse them, never admitting that the chaste muse could have a more noble mission; especially these desecrators who dare lay hands on original works, subjecting them to horrible mutilations that they call corrections and perfections, which, they say, require considerable taste. Curses on them! They make a mockery of art! Such are these vulgar birds who populate our public gardens, perching arrogantly on the most beautiful statues, and, when they have soiled the brow of Jupiter, Hercules' arm, or the breast of Jupiter, strut and preen as though they have laid a golden egg.<ref>Fétis, F.-J. Esquisse de L'histoire de l'Harmonie: An English Language Translation of the François-Joseph Fétis History of Harmony. Translated, annotated, and edited by Mary I. Arlin. Stuyvesant, NY: Pendragon Press, 1994, p. xxii.</ref>}}
Not one to be outdone, Fétis may have had the last word in this debate. In the 1845 edition of his treatise ''La musique mise à la porte de tout le monde'', he describes the word "fantastique" saying that "this word has even slid into music. ‘Fantastique' music is composed of instrumental effects with no melodic line and incorrect harmony."

==Theoretical work==
Although known primarily for his contributions to musicology and criticism, Fétis had effects on the realm of music theory as well. In 1841 he put together the first history of harmonic theory, his ''Esquisse de l'histoire de l'harmonie''. Assembled from individual articles that Fétis published in the ''[[Revue et Gazette musicale de Paris]]'' around 1840, the book predates [[Hugo Riemann]]'s more well known ''Geschichte der Musiktheorie'' by fifty years. The ''Esquisse'', as the title implies, is a general outline rather than an exhaustive study. Fétis is attempting to show the "facts, errors, and truths" of previous theories and theorists, as he interprets them, in order to provide a solid grounding for other scholars and to prevent subsequent interpretive mistakes.

Fétis' main theoretical work and the culmination of his conceptual frameworks of tonality and harmony is the ''Traité complet de la théorie et de la pratique de l'harmonie'' of 1844. This book has influenced later theorists and composers including [[Paul Hindemith]], [[Ernst Kurth]], and [[Franz Liszt]]. In the ''Musik-Lexicon'' of 1882, [[Hugo Riemann]] states that "to [Fétis'] meditations we are indebted for the modern concept of tonality…he found himself emancipated from the spirit of a particular age, and able to render justice to all the various styles of music." Though some other theorists, most notably [[Matthew Shirlaw]],<ref>Shirlaw asserts that "anything more ill-considered, more indadequate than Fétis' 'metaphysical' theory of harmony based on the principle of tonality which he himself does not understand, and is unable to explain, it would be difficult to conceive."{{full citation needed|date=October 2013}}</ref> have had decidedly negative views, Riemann's assessment captures the two key features of Fétis' text. Though he did not coin the term "tonality," Fétis developed the concept into its present-day form. He claimed that ''"tonalité"'' is the primary organizing agent of all melodic and harmonic successions and that the efforts of other theorists to find the fundamental principle of music in "acoustics, mathematics, aggregations of intervals, or classifications of chords have been futile."<ref>Arlin, Mary I. "Fétis' Contribution to Practical and Historical Music Theory." Revue belge de Musicologie, Vol. 26/27 (1972/1973), p. 106.</ref>

The majority of the ''Traité complet'' is devoted to explaining how ''tonalité'' organizes music. The primary factor of determining tonality is the scale. It sets out the order of the succession of tones in major and minor (the only two "tonal" modes which he recognizes), the distances which separate the tones, and the resultant melodic and harmonic tendencies.<ref>Fétis, F.-J. Esquisse de L'histoire de l'Harmonie: An English Language Translation of the François-Joseph Fétis History of Harmony. Translated, annotated, and edited by Mary I. Arlin. Stuyvesant, NY: Pendragon Press, 1994, p. xxiii.</ref> Tonality is not only a governed and conditioned state, but it is a socially conditioned one. Scales are cultural manifestations, resulting from shared experience and education. Nature provides the elements of tonalité, but human understanding, sensibility, and will determine particular harmonic systems.<ref>Schellhous, Rosalie. "Fétis's Tonality as a Metaphysical Principle: Hypothesis for a New Science." Music Theory Spectrum, Vol. 13, No. 2 (Autumn, 1991), p. 219-240.</ref> This concept was called a "[[Metaphysics|Metaphysical]] principle" by Fétis, though [[Carl Dahlhaus|Dahlhaus]] argues that the term is used in this case to denote an [[anthropological]], culturally relative sense in his 1990 book Studies on the Origin of Harmonic Tonality, and theorist Rosalie Schellhous posits that the Kantian term "transcendental" might be more appropriate.<ref>Both the Dahlhaus and Schellhous quotes can be found in: Schellhous, Rosalie. "Fétis's Tonality as a Metaphysical Principle: Hypothesis for a New Science." Music Theory Spectrum, Vol. 13, No. 2 (Autumn, 1991), p. 219-240</ref>

In his comparative work, Fétis attempted "a new method of classifying human races according to their musical systems"<ref>{{cite journal |url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/265714749 |title=François-Joseph Fétis, Correspondance (review) |date=January 2008 |journal=Music and Letters |volume=89 |issue=4 |pages=640–642 |last=Murphy |first=Kerry |doi=10.1093/ml/gcn041 |access-date=June 5, 2022}}</ref> following contemporary trends of social darwinism in the emerging fields of ethnology and anthropology.

===Harmonic and rhythmic modulation===
However, if one wishes to interpret Fétis' metaphysical theory, one of his unique theoretical ideas is laid out in book 3 of the ''Traité complet'', that of [[harmonic modulation]]. Fétis argues that tonality has evolved over the course of time through four distinct phases, or ''ordres'':

*Unitonic – Resulting from [[plainchant]] tonality, the unitonic phase consists mainly of [[consonant]] triads with no possibility for modulation due to the lack of the [[tritone]] between the 4th and 7th scale degrees. This phase is also referred to by Fétis as ''tonalité ancienne''.
*Transitonic – Order which began with the introduction of the dominant 7th chord into harmonic discourse, sometime between [[Zarlino]] and [[Monteverdi|Montverdi]]. This development is also directly related to the codification of cadential systems and periodic phrase structure.
*Pluritonic – Modulation is achieved through enharmonic relationships in which one note of a chord is considered the point of contact between different scales. Fétis claims that [[Mozart]] was the first to use such modulations as a means of expression. In this order, the diminished 7th and augmented 6th chords become important as they can modulate to several different tonalities.
*Omnitonic – The final phase of tonality, and one embodied for Fétis by [[Wagner]], where the alteration of the intervals of natural chords and modification by substitution of notes is so complex that it becomes impossible to identify the original chord.<ref>Josephson, Nors S. "François-Joseph Fétis and Richard Wagner." Revue belge de Musicologie, Vol. 26/27 (1972-1973), p. 84-89.</ref> This is seen as a period of extremes, and undesirable compared to the moderately chromatic music of [[Meyerbeer]].<ref>Bloom, Peter A. "Friends and Admirers: Meyerbeer and Fétis." Revue belge de Musicologie, Vol. 32/33 (1978-1979), p. 174-187.</ref>

Fétis later applied this same system of ordres to rhythm, "the least advanced part of music...[where] great things remain to be discovered."<ref>Arlin, Mary I. "Metric Mutation and Modulation: the Nineteenth-Century Speculations of F.J. Fétis." Journal of Music Theory, Vol. 44, No. 2 (Autumn, 2000), p. 261.</ref> Though he did not publish these theories in any of his treatises, they appear in several articles for the ''Revue musicale'' and in some lectures which had a profound impact on [[Franz Liszt|Liszt]].<ref>Móricz, Klára. "The Ambivalent Connection between Theory and Practice in the Relationship of F. Liszt & F.-J. Fétis." Studia Musicologica Academiae Scientarum Hungaricae, T. 35, Fasc. 4 (1993-1994), p. 399-420.</ref> Though music had not yet made it past the first phase, Unirhythm, by Fétis' time, he argues that composers may be able to "mutate" from one meter to another within the same melodic phrase. Though Liszt may have been an open disciple of the ideas of the Omnitonic and Omnirhythmic, the influence of such thinking can perhaps be seen most clearly in the music of [[Johannes Brahms|Brahms]], where [[hemiola]] and mixing of time signatures is a common occurrence.

=="Se i miei sospiri"==
The Italian art song, "Se i miei sospiri", appeared in a Paris concert organized by Fétis in 1833. Fétis published the piece for voice and strings in 1838 and then again in 1843 for voice and piano with alternate lyrics ("Pietà, Signore"). It is these alternate lyrics with which the piece is now typically associated. Fétis attributed the song to [[Alessandro Stradella]] and claimed to possess an original manuscript of the work but never produced it for examination. As early as 1866, musicologists were questioning the authenticity of the song, and when Fétis' library was acquired by the Royal Library in Brussels after his death, no such manuscript could be found. Owing to this and the fact that the style of the piece is inconsistent with Stradella's own period, the authorship of the piece is now typically attributed to Fétis himself. The original Italian text for the song (Se i miei sospiri) was found set to different music by [[Alessandro Scarlatti]] in his 1693 oratorio "The Martyrdom of St. Theodosia".<ref>Glenn Paton, John (1991).
