Johann Paul Schiffelholz
Johann Paul Schiffelholz , also Schiffelholtz (born March 13, 1685 in Heideck , † January 28, 1758 in Ingolstadt ), was a Bavarian choir director and composer .
Life
Johann Paul Schiffelholz, a contemporary of Joseph Meck , was born in 1685 as the seventh son of councilor Johann Jakob Schiffelholz and his wife Maria Magdalena in Heideck, Bavaria, north of Eichstätt . In 1704 he married the daughter of the Ingolstadt choir director at the University Minster Johann Zinzl. Schiffelholz became Zinzl's successor and held this position for more than 50 years until his death in 1758.
Schiffelholz was regarded as an "excellent violin player and composer". His appearance with a long allonge wig, a red cloak with gold clasps and tassels, a hair pouch, sword and chapeaubas was solemn.
Works
For the violin he composed 16 concerts, which are described in Schilling's Encyclopedia of the Entire Musical Science or Universal-Lexikon der Tonkunst of 1838 as “among the better artifacts of their time and of their kind”. Furthermore, he composed a trio for two bassoons and basso continuo as well as works for Colascione , an instrument from the lute family . Similar to Johann Valentin Rathgeber , his style points in the direction of the gallant Rococo style .
