Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Baptismal name Johannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus Mozart (27 January 1756 ² 5 December 1791), was a prolific and influential composer of the Classical era. He composed over 600 works, many acknowledged as pinnacles of symphonic, concertante, chamber, piano, operatic, and choral music. He is among the most enduringly popular of classical composers. Mozart showed prodigious ability from his earliest childhood in Salzburg. Already competent on keyboard and violin, he composed from the age of five and performed before European royalty. At 17, he was engaged as a court musician in Salzburg, but grew restless and travelled in search of a better position, always composing abundantly. While visiting Vienna in 1781, he was dismissed from his Salzburg position. He chose to stay in the capital, where he achieved fame but little financial security. During his final years in Vienna, he composed many of his best-known symphonies, concertos, and operas, and portions of the Requiem, which was largely unfinished at the time of Mozart's death. The circumstances of his early death have been much mythologized. He was survived by his wife Constanze and two sons. Mozart learned voraciously from others, and developed a brilliance and maturity of style that encompassed the light and graceful along with the dark and passionate. His influence on subsequent Western art music is profound. Beethoven wrote his own early compositions in the shadow of Mozart, of whom Joseph Haydn wrote that "posterity will not see such a talent again in 100 years." Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born to Leopold and Anna Maria Pertl Mozart at 9 Getreidegasse in Salzburg, capital of the sovereign Archbishopric of Salzburg, in what is now Austria but, at the time, was part of the Bavarian Circle in the Holy Roman Empire. His only sibling to survive past birth was Maria Anna (1751²1829), called "Nannerl". Wolfgang was baptized the day after his birth at St. Rupert's Cathedral. The baptismal record gives his name in Latinized form as Joannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus Mozart. He generally called himself "Wolfgang Amadè Mozart" as an adult, but there were many variants. His father Leopold (1719²1787) was from Augsburg. He was deputy Kapellmeister to the court orchestra of the Archbishop of Salzburg, a minor composer, and an experienced teacher. In the year of Mozart's birth, his father published a violin textbook, Versuch einer gründlichen Violinschule, which achieved success. During Mozart's youth, his family made several European journeys in which he and Nannerl performed as child prodigies. These began with an exhibition, in 1762, at the court of the Prince-elector Maximilian III of Bavaria in Munich, and at the Imperial Court in Vienna and Prague. A long concert tour spanning three and a half years followed, taking the family to the courts of Munich, Mannheim, Paris, London, The Hague, again to Paris, and back home via Zurich, Donaueschingen, and Munich. During this trip, Mozart met a great number of musicians and acquainted himself with the works of other composers. A particularly important influence was Johann Christian Bach, whom Mozart visited in London in 1764 and 1765. The family again went to Vienna in late 1767 and remained there until December 1768. After finally returning with his father from Italy on 13 March 1773, Mozart was employed as a court musician by the ruler of Salzburg, Prince-Archbishop Hieronymus Colloredo. The composer had a great number of friends and admirers in Salzburgand had the opportunity to work in many genres, composing symphonies, sonatas, string quartets, serenades, and a few minor operas. Several of these early works are still performed today. Between April and December 1775, Mozart developed an enthusiasm for violin concerto 9s, producing a series of five (the only ones he ever wrote), which steadily increased in their musical sophistication. The last three³K. 216, K. 218, K. 219³are now staples of the repertoire. In 1776 he turned his efforts to piano concertos, culminating in the E-flat concerto K. 271 of early 1777, considered by critics to be a breakthrough work. Mozart's new career in Vienna began well. He performed often as a pianist, notably in a competition before the Emperor with Muzio Clementi on 24 December 1781, and he soon "had established himself as the finest keyboard player in Vienna". He also prospered as a composer, and in 1782 completed the opera Die Entführung aus dem Serail ("The Abduction from the Seraglio"), which premiered on 16 July 1782 and achieved a huge success. The work was soon being performed "throughout German-speaking Europe", and fully established Mozart's reputation as a composer. Mozart fell ill while in Prague for the premiere on 6 September of his opera La clemenza di Tito, written in 1791 on commission for the Emperor's coronation festivities. He was able to continue his professional functions for some time, and conducted the premiere of The Magic Flute on 30 September. The illness intensified on 20 November, at which point Mozart became bedridden, suffering from swelling, pain, and vomiting. Mozart was nursed in his final illness by Constanze and her youngest sister Sophie, and attended by the family doctor, Thomas Franz Closset. It is clear that he was mentally occupied with the task of finishing his Requiem. However, the evidence that he actually dictated passages to his student Süssmayr is very slim. Mozart died at 1 a.m. on 5 December 1791 at the age of 35. The New Grove gives a matter-of- fact description of his funeral: Mozart was buried in a common grave, in accordance with contemporary Viennese custom, at the St Marx cemetery outside the city on 7 December. If, as later reports say, no mourners attended, that too is consistent with Viennese burial customs at the time; later Jahn (1856) wrote that Salieri, Süssmayr, van Swieten and two other musicians were present. The tale of a storm and snow is false; the day was calm and mild. The cause of Mozart's death cannot be known with certainty. The official record has it as "hitziges Frieselfieber" ("severe miliary fever", referring to a rash that looks like millet seeds), a description that does not suffice to identify the cause as it would be diagnosed in modern medicine. Researchers have posited at least 118 causes of death, including trichinosis, influenza, mercury poisoning, and a rare kidney ailment. The most widely accepted hypothesis is that Mozart died of acute rheumatic fever. Mozart's sparse funeral did not reflect his standing with the public as a composer: memorial services and concerts in Vienna and Prague were well attended. Indeed, in the period immediately after his death, Mozart's reputation rose substantially: Solomon describes an "unprecedented wave of enthusiasm" for his work; biographies were written (first by Schlichtegroll, Niemetschek, and Nissen; see Biographies of Mozart); and publishers vied to produce complete editions of his works. Johann Sebastian Bach (31 March 1685 ² 28 July 1750) was a German composer, organist, harpsichordist, violist, and violinist whose sacred and secular works for choir, orchestra, and solo instruments drew together the strands of the Baroque period and brought it to its ultimate maturity. Although he did not introduce new forms, he enriched the prevailing German style with a robust contrapuntal technique, an unrivalled control of harmonic and motivic organization, and the adaptation of rhythms, forms and textures from abroad, particularly from Italy and France. Revered for their intellectual depth, technical command and artistic beauty, Bach's works include the Brandenburg concertos, the Goldberg Variations, the Partitas, The Well-Tempered Clavier, the Mass in B minor, the St Matthew Passion, the St John Passion, the Magnificat, The Musical Offering, The Art of Fugue, the English and French Suites, the Sonatas and Partitas for solo violin, the Cello Suites, more than 200 surviving cantatas, and a similar number of organ works, including the celebrated Toccata and Fugue in D minor and Passacaglia and Fugue in C minor. Bach's abilities as an organist were highly respected throughout Europe during his lifetime, although he was not widely recognized as a great composer until a revival of interest and performances of his music in the first half of the 19th century. He is now generally regarded as the finest composer of the Baroque, and as one of the greatest of all time. Johann Sebastian Bach was born in Eisenach, Saxe-Eisenach, on 31 March (O.S. 21 March) 1685. He was the youngest child of Johann Ambrosius Bach, the director of the Stadtpfeifer or town musicians,[5] and Maria Elisabeth Lämmerhirt. His father taught him to play violin and harpsichord.[6] His uncles were all professional musicians, whose posts ranged from church organists and court chamber musicians to composers. One uncle, Johann Christoph Bach (1645²93), was especially famous and introduced him to the art of organ playing. Bach was proud of his family's musical achievements, and around 1735 he drafted a genealogy, "Origin of the musical Bach family".[7] Bach's mother died in 1694, and his father eight months later.[8] The 10-year-old orphan moved in with his oldest brother, Johann Christoph Bach (1671²1721), the organist at the Michaeliskirche in nearby Ohrdruf.[9] There, he copied, studied and performed music, and apparently received valuable teaching from his brother, who instructed him on the clavichord. J.C. Bach exposed him to the works of the great South German composers of the day, such as Johann Pachelbel (under whom Johann Christoph had studied)[10] and Johann Jakob Froberger; possibly to the music of North German composers; to Frenchmen, such as Jean-Baptiste Lully, Louis Marchand, Marin Marais; and to the Italian clavierist Girolamo Frescobaldi.

  • Anmerkungen Zu Den Klopstock-Texten Im Œuvre Johann Rudolf Zumsteegs
    Joachim Kremer Der „musikalische Klopstock mit all’ seinen Tugenden“: Anmerkungen zu den Klopstock-Texten im Œuvre Johann Rudolf Zumsteegs 1. Zur süddeutschen Klopstock-Rezeption Etiketten und Schlagwörter sind oft erfolgsträchtig, und dies nicht zuletzt wegen der ihnen innewohnenden Vereinfachung, die nicht immer im Sinne einer Konzentration auf das Wesentliche vollzogen worden sein muss. Dies wird auch an der Person und dem Werk Johann Rudolf Zumsteegs erkennbar, gilt er doch in der Liedforschung als einer der bedeutenden Vorbereiter Franz Schuberts und Carl Loewes. Das Zeugnis Josef von Spauns, dass Schubert als Vierzehnjähriger „mehrere Päcke Zumsteegscher Lieder vor sich“ hatte und dem Freund mitteilte, wie ergriffen er von diesen sei, sowie die Tatsache, dass seine erste veröffentlichte Ballade Der Liedler (D 209), auch Hagars Klage (D 5) oder Die Erwartung (D 159) dem Muster Zumsteegs folgten, gilt dabei als zusätzlicher Beleg. Zumsteegs Balladen „deuten“ – so der MGG-Artikel Lied – „bereits auf entsprechende Kompositionen Schuberts und Loewes voraus“, im CD-Booklet zur Ritter Toggenburg- Aufnahme wird sogar ausdrücklich sein Schicksal bedauert, „Vorläufer zu sein“.1 Ein zweites, bezogen auf Zumsteeg oft genanntes Schlagwort ist seit der Dissertation Kurt Haerings das der „Schwäbischen Liederschule“.2 Neben Christian Friedrich Daniel Schubart gilt er als bedeutender schwäbischer Liedkomponist, wenn auch die Bezeich- nung als Liedkomponist zu kurz greift. Dies ist mit der spezifschen Arbeit Zumsteegs am und mit dem Text begründet, der sich in differenzierter Weise mit dessen Ausdeu- tung auseinandersetzt. Inbegriff eines solchen vom Deklamatorischen ausgehenden Vortrags ist das Wirken Christian Friedrich Daniel Schubarts, der mit großer Wirkung auf der Orgel improvisierte, aus Klopstocks Messias deklamierte und sich dabei selbst am Klavier begleitete.3 Als ein Meister des spontanen mündlichen Vortrags schildert er in seinen Lebenserinnerungen sein Wirken als „Rhapsode“: 1 Peter Jost, Lied, in: MGG2, Sachteil Bd.
