Ivan Karlowitsch Cherlitsky

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ivan Karlovich Tscherlizki , too: Johann Heinrich Tscherlitzky , Jean Tscherlitzky Tscherlitzki , Czerlitzky , Scherlitzky , Russian Иван Карлович Черлицкий , Ivan Karlovič Čerlickij (* 20th November 1799 in Kazan , Russian Empire ; † 2. November 1867 in Saint Petersburg ) was a Russian Organist, music teacher and composer.

Life

Tscherlizki came from a musical, Lutheran family. He received his first lessons from his father Karl Tscherlitzki (1773-1841), who worked as a music teacher in various cities in Russia. In 1818 he came to Saint Petersburg. He became organist at the Lutheran Katharinenkirche and also gave concerts at the Lutheran main church Sankt Petri , where his uncle Otto Leopold Czerlitzky († 1831) had been organist since 1813. His sons, Tscherlitzki's cousins ​​Otto, organist at St. Petri from 1831 to 1840 and Karl, music teacher at the Smolny Institute, and Tscherlitzki's brother Alexander (1804–1878), piano teacher at the Smolny Institute, shaped the musical life of St. Petersburg.

I pray to the power of love in the chorale book by Gossner / Tscherlitzki 1825

Tscherlizki became friends with Johannes Evangelista Goßner and published a chorale book for Goßner 's collection of exquisite songs about redeeming love and the songs in the treasure chest , which was published in Leipzig near Tauchnitz in 1825 . It contains 13 of Tscherlizki's own compositions, which, however, have hardly had any lasting effect. Only the melody Glorification (Gossner's) can be found in some US hymn books to this day. Another melody in the chorale book became much more powerful: Here, for the first time, presumably through Tscherlizki, the melody of the Ukrainian composer Dmitri Stepanowitsch Bortnjanski (1751–1825), who worked in Petersburg, was assigned to Gerhard Tersteegen's I pray to the power of love . Through his subsequent activity in Berlin (1826–1858), Goßner conveyed the melody and the German text to the court of King Friedrich Wilhelm III. of Prussia and its successors, from where it found its way into the Great Zapfenstreich .

From 1820 to 1829 and from 1845 to 1853 he taught piano at the Smolny Institute . Around 1831 he was a master student of John Field in Moscow.

His 15 piano transcriptions of Johann Sebastian Bach's organ works , which were published in five volumes in Saint Petersburg in 1844/45, played an important role in the dissemination of Bach's works in Russia, where there were only a few organs. He has also transcribed chamber music works by Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy for piano.

He created symphonies and piano concertos on his own compositions.
