life and work

Joseph Huglmann, about whose life little is known, was a pianist, composer and music teacher who worked in Vienna and was also active in publishing . Referring to the Congress of Vienna , he created the piano composition Polymelos, or Musikalischer Congress (printed in 1814), in which different folk tunes represent the different opinions that came together at the congress. Huglmann also provided a variation on a waltz by Anton Diabelli (who had inspired a total of 50 contemporary composers to each create a variation on a self-composed waltz, which was published under the title " Vaterländischer Künstlerverein "; Beethoven processed the theme in his own Diabelli variations ). Huglmann provided an arrangement of the imperial hymn that was set up on the pianoforte for four hands. He created a piano version of the music from Boieldieu's opera Johann von Paris .
