Carlo Artaria

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Carlo Artaria (* 1747 ; † 1808 ) was an important music and art publisher in Vienna . He was the founder of the Viennese parent company Artaria & Co. , which was owned by the family from 1770 to 1931.

Life

Carlo was the son of the art dealer Cesare Timoteo Artaria (1706–1785) and Maria geb. Moissi. He and his uncle Giovanni Casimiro (1725–1797) founded the Mainz parent company, which he left in 1766. With an imperial privilege of February 10, 1770, he founded the parent company in Vienna with his cousin Francesco (1744–1808) in the same year, which in 1789 moved to the house for English greetings (later Artaria house at Kohlmarkt 9). It became a leader in the publishing of fine art prints and maps. In 1778 a music department was added. At times there were partnerships with his brother-in-law Giovanni Cappi (1793–1801) and Tranquillo Mollo (1793–1798).

The music department published the works of Mozart , Gluck , Joseph and Michael Haydn , Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach , Luigi Boccherini , Muzio Clementi , Carl Ditters von Dittersdorf , Johann Nepomuk Hummel , Giovanni Paisiello , Ignaz Pleyel and Antonio Salieri . Beethoven joined in 1793 .

In 1802 Carlo Artaria sold his shares in the Viennese company to his future son-in-law Domenico Artaria , who in 1804 became the first sole owner of the Viennese house. In 1805, Beethoven lost a lawsuit after lengthy disputes over the string quintet in C major, Op. 29 , whereupon he largely ceased his connection with Artaria & Co.

family

Carlo Artaria was married to Maria geb. Cappi. His daughter Teresa (1786–1844) married Domenico Artaria (1775–1842). The couple had three sons, of whom August (1807-1893) was the most famous.
