Carl Neuner

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Carl Borromäus Neuner , also Karl Neuner ( baptized July 29, 1778 in Au (today in Munich ), † April 1, 1830 in Munich ), was a German violinist, double bass player, singer and composer.

Life

Carl Neuner was the fourth child of Martin Neuner and his wife Anna Kottmillerin and was born in the Munich suburb of Au. According to WeGA , the father is said to have been a beer guide. Robert Eitner , on the other hand, states that the father was a musician and the first teacher of his son, who then continued his education in Tegernsee and learned from Valesi and Joseph Graz. This corresponds roughly to the depiction of Lipowsky from 1811, according to which Martin Neuner himself was a pupil of Franz von Cröner and Carl Neuner was trained in singing by the court tenorist Walesi [sic!]. According to Lipowsky, Carl Neuner came to the violin in the seminar of the Benedictine Abbey in Tegernsee. He learned to compose from the court piano master Joseph Gratz [sic!]. Lipowsky names Hercules' Death , Venus and Adonis , The Union of Dance with Music , The Robber's Cave and Doctor Faust as compositions . In his article for The Music in Past and Present from 1961, Anton Würz combines the various statements about his father in the formulation that he was music-savvy, but was a beer guide by profession.

In 1797 he graduated from the (today's) Wilhelmsgymnasium in Munich . He then completed the first year of the two-year basic course (= philosophy) at the adjoining lyceum.

In 1800 Neuner became an accessist and ballet repetiteur in the Munich court orchestra. In 1804 he applied for a gratuity for this activity, which he received from 1806. In 1809 he became a "real court musician". From around 1814 he worked as a double bass player in the orchestra. This activity was more highly paid; he now had a salary of 800 guilders. Around 1827/28 he retired for health reasons. Neuner died in his father's house on Mariahilfplatz.

Carl Neuner wrote the music for the tragedy of Freyschützen by Franz Xaver von Caspar around 1811/13 . He also composed numerous ballet music. Harlekin's Wedding, for example, was premiered on May 28, 1811 with a text by Adam Schlotthauer and remained in the repertoire of the Munich Ballet for several years. His ballet Die Zauberhöhle was performed for the first time on February 17, 1817.

Carl Neuner is considered to be the composer of the Christmas carol Sleep, you heavenly boy , which was published in 1814.
