Georg Philipp Telemann

  • Georg Philipp Telemann has been Cantor Johannei and Director Musices of the city of Hamburg since 1721 , one of the most respected musical offices in Germany.

He also composes numerous pieces of music for private and public occasions, such as memorial days and weddings. In addition, for an annual salary of 300 thalers, he also took over the management of the Hamburg Opera on Gänsemarkt , rebuilt the Collegium musicum, which was founded by Matthias Weckmann in 1660 but has since ceased to perform, and also takes on a position as Kapellmeister for the court of the Margrave of Bayreuth . From time to time he delivers instrumental music and an opera there every year.

Other biographical events

  • Jacques Aubert becomes a member of the Vingt-quatre Violons du Roy , the five-part string orchestra at the French royal court in Versailles .
  • At the last performance of the opera Astianatte by Giovanni Battista Bononcini on June 6th, 1727 at the King's Theater in London, there was a dispute (still known today) between the famous prima donna Faustina Bordoni and Francesca Cuzzoni . In the middle of the performance of the opera, there is a scandal, the two prima donnas begin to argue on the stage and pull each other's hair. This dispute is being discussed all over London and Europe, which ultimately leads to Cuzzoni, who, at Handel's instigation, should no longer sing for the Royal Academy for the 1727/1728 season, is hired again. This reinstatement is mainly due to the personal intervention of the English King George I, who stated in a letter to the directors of the Royal Academy “that if they did not come to an agreement with Cuzzoni, he would no longer come to the opera and also the annual subscription rate of £ 1000 would not settle ”.
  • At the turn of the year 1727/28 there was another scandal in London when Giovanni Battista Bononcini presented the madrigal In una siepe ombrosa as his own creation. In fact, it comes from Antonio Lotti , who published it as part of his Duetti, terzetti e madrigali . From then on, Bononcini, as an "undesirable person", no longer received any orders and also lost his memberships.
