Daniel Gottlieb Treu
Daniel Gottlieb Treu (also Daniele Teofilo Fedele; * 1695 in Stuttgart , † August 7, 1749 in Breslau ) was a German violinist and composer of the late Baroque.
Life
An important teacher of Daniel Gottlieb Treus was Johann Sigismund Kusser , who himself had worked for a long time in Paris under Jean-Baptiste Lully . Treu was made possible by the Duke of Württemberg to stay in Venice, where he had contacts with Antonio Vivaldi and Antonio Biffi, among others .
During his time in Venice, from 1725 to 1727, Treu composed twelve operas. As he quickly mastered Italian, the Teatro Sant'Angelo appointed him its “composer”. His stage works include four early works composed in Germany. More mature works are Caio Martio Coriolano , Don Chiscotte , Astarte , Endimione (libretto: Pietro Metastasio ) and Ulisse e Telemaco . In 1727 he performed with an Italian opera company in Prague and Breslau. From 1740 he was Kapellmeister of Count Karl von Schaffgotsch, the brother of the Prince-Bishop of Breslau in Hirschberg. In addition to his operas, Treu wrote two textbooks in Latin. According to his autobiography, he has composed a "mass" of works of all kinds, all of which have been lost. The two theoretical treatises, which Ernst Ludwig Gerber described in detail around 1800, have not yet been found either.
