Georg Reutter the Younger
(Johann Adam Joseph Karl) Georg Reutter , called the Younger (baptized on April 6, 1708 in Vienna ; † March 11, 1772 ibid) was an Austrian composer.
Life
Reutter received lessons from his father Georg Reutter the Elder , who was cathedral and court organist in Vienna and assisted him in these functions. Antonio Caldara later became his teacher. After his apprenticeship, Reutter initially applied to be court organist in vain. After a trip to Italy in 1730, which took him to Venice and Rome, he was finally appointed court composer in Vienna on March 1, 1731. In 1738 Reutter succeeded his father as the first conductor at St. Stephen's Cathedral . In this office he was also responsible for the cathedral choir boys, among whom at that time there was Joseph Haydn , whom Reutter himself had brought to Vienna from Hainburg in 1740.
Reutter was in 1740 by Emperor Karl VI. raised to the nobility (Edler von Reutter) and achieved a leading position in Viennese musical life in the following years. Maria Theresa gave him the direction of all table, chamber and church music in 1751, and in 1769 Reutter was officially first court conductor.
His son was Marian Reutter , abbot of Heiligenkreuz Abbey.
Works
Reutter wrote numerous masses (around 80), oratorios and music-dramatic works ( fixed teatrale, dramme per musica , fixed di camera, dialoghi, serenate ) as well as instrumental music. Overall, his work should include 677 numbers.
Unless otherwise stated, the world premieres took place in Vienna.
