Johann Christoph Schultze

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johann Christoph Schultze , rarely also Schultz (* 1733 in Berlin ; † August 22, 1813 in Berlin) was a German conductor and composer .

Life

Johann Christoph Schultze was baptized on October 11, 1733 in the Protestant St. Mary's Church in Berlin . His parents were Ephraim Schultz (e) (* around 1710; † around 1784) and Anna Christina strengcken (daughter of Martin strenghts). They married on September 27, 1731 in St. Mary's Church. Ephraim worked as a shoemaker and was the "printing master at the Höllandische Sprütze at the Pommeranzenbrücke" in Berlin. On February 11, 1785 , Johann Christoph married Sophie Henriette Edler (* around 1763; † 1839), daughter of Friedrich Edler, in the church in Dorotheenstadt in Berlin. A daughter, Maria Carolina, was born on August 2, 1785 (no other children are known). Johann Christoph died in Berlin on August 22, 1813 .

Schultze came from a German family of musicians and composers who were musically active from the second half of the 18th century to the 19th century. Although the composer is largely forgotten today, his works are occasionally performed. He was probably one of the last composers to write for the flûte à bec ( recorder ), which was already out of fashion at the time .

From 1768, Schultze was Kapellmeister ( " music director and preliminary violinist" ) at the Döbbelin Theater , and later at the Royal National Theater in Berlin . He was also the violin teacher of the later composer Carl Friedrich Zelter (1758-1832). Although he set Goethe's poem Der König in Thule (1811) to music, for an unknown reason he left Schultze with the task of arranging the orchestral parts.

Further details from his life are not known.
