Johann Sebastian Bach

georg Friedrich Handel

  • Georg Friedrich Handel , who founded the “second opera academy” together with Johann Jacob Heidegger in 1729 , is the musical director of this successor organization to the Royal Academy of Music .
  • Handel has lived in London at 25 Brook Street since July / August 1723 and lived here on two floors until his death in 1759. Almost all works created since 1723 are composed in this house. Preparations for the performances often take place in the Handel dining room .
  • January 15 : The opera Ezio by Georg Friedrich Handel based on a libretto by Pietro Metastasio is premiered at King's Theater on London's Haymarket. The work becomes a failure. Despite the support of King George II , who attends all performances except for the premiere, the piece is only performed four times and then never played again during Handel's lifetime.
  • February 15 : Handel's new opera Sosarme, Re di Media , is more successful than his predecessor at its world premiere at King's Theater in London's Haymarket. The libretto is based on the work Dionisio, Re di Portogallo by Antonio Salvi .
  • Anna Maria Strada, 1732 (painted by Johannes Verelst)
    February 23 : The oratorio Esther by Georg Friedrich Handel, which is expected to have its world premiere in 1718, will be performed privately on Handel's birthday in the Crown & Anchor Tavern ( beach ). The performance will be conducted by Bernard Gates, director of the Chapel Royal Children's Choir and a friend of Handel. The performance is repeated twice privately. A public performance of     Esther as "Oratorio or sacred Drama" in the York Buildings has suddenly been announced for April 20th . It is not known who was behind this event, but Handel responded immediately. He revised the work to include many new numbers, most of which he adopted from his anthems and Italian operas. This second version will be performed on May 2nd at the King's Theater on Haymarket. The announcement contains the note "There will be no action on the stage, but the house will be fitted up in a decent man, for the audience". At the first public performance, the cast is as follows:
  • May 17 : Thomas Arne (the father of the composer Thomas Augustine Arne ) produces Handel's Acis and Galatea with John Frederick Lampe and Henry Carey at the Little Theater in London . Susanna Arne (later Cibber) and Gustavus Waltz are involved as singers, both of whom later join Handel's opera and oratorio troupe.
  • May 23 : Georg Friedrich Handel brings the pasticcio Lucio Papirio dittatore to the stage of the King's Theater in London. The original music is by Geminiano Giacomelli and Nicola Porpora , the libretto by Carlo Innocenzo Frugoni based on a literary model by Apostolo Zeno . Almost at the same time there is another production of Zeno's drama in Rome, with music by Giovanni Porta .
  • November 4 : Another pasticcio of Handel is premiered at the King's Theater with Catone . The libretto is Catone in Utica by Pietro Metastasio , the original music is by Leonardo Leo .

Domenico Scarlatti

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. In this position Telemann undertook to compose two cantatas per week and one passion per year, but in later years he would fall back on earlier works for his cantatas. He also composes numerous pieces of music for private and public occasions, such as memorial days and weddings.
  • In addition, Telemann has taken over the management of the Hamburg Opera at Gänsemarkt for an annual salary of 300 thalers , rebuilds 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 Margraves of Bayreuth . From time to time he delivers instrumental music and an opera there every year.

Antonio Vivaldi

  • Antonio Vivaldi has been musical director of the Teatro Sant'Angelo in his hometown of Venice since 1726 . There, both as a composer and as a violin virtuoso, he became a living legend and a “pilgrimage destination” for many musicians from all over Europe.

Other biographical events

  • Michel Blavet becomes music superintendent of the Count of Clermont, a position he held until his death in 1768.
  • Giovanni Battista Ferrandini , who had already got a job as an oboist in the court orchestra in Munich as a boy, was promoted to chamber composer. In 1737 he becomes director of chamber music.
  • Francesco Geminiani decides to settle in Dublin after a stay in Paris . His professional activities fluctuated between the failed attempt to publish a music magazine, virtuosity, the writing of music theoretical works and trading in paintings by important Italian painters as well as his own.
  • When the Chapel of San Giovanni was abandoned for financial reasons, Geminiano Giacomelli returned to Parma and resumed his two positions at the court and at the Church of Madonna della Steccata until 1737.
  • Title page of Lodovico Giustini's " Sonate da cimbalo di piano e forte detta volgarmente di martelletti ", Florence 1732
    Lodovico Giustini composes in Florence , the Sonata da cimbalo di piano e forte detta volgarmente di martelletti , op. 1, as commissioned by the Brazilian clergyman and diplomat João de Seixas da Fonseca Borges. In this Sonata collection is the first surviving compositions that explicitly for by Bartolomeo Cristofori developed in the late 17th century fortepiano were written (fortepiano) and were devoted to the younger brother of the Portuguese King John V, Don Antonio de Braganca, . The sonatas of this collection with piano music, his only ones, are suite-like cycles of the church sonata type with four to five movements , in which, despite the traditional sequence of movements, the new possibilities of the fortepiano can only be determined by pressing a key - in contrast to the contemporary compositions for harpsichord come into their own. If interpreted appropriately, Giustini's compositions open the door to a new epoch in music history, in which the affects are primarily conveyed through the differentiation of volume and make tone sequences previously perceived as expressionless socially acceptable.
  • Pietro Metastasio , who has lived in a large apartment in Vienna since the early summer of 1730, at Stadt No. 1187, the “Great Michaelerhaus”, takes in his friend Nicolò Martines and his family.
  • Giovanni Battista Pergolesi becomes conductor of Ferdinando Colonna , Prince of Stigliano . The performance of the comic opera Lo frate 'nnamorato on September 27th at the Teatro dei Fiorentini brought him continued success.
  • In 1732, Jean-Philippe Rameau was given a permanent position as organist, which he kept until at least 1738.
  • Johann Gottfried Walther publishes his Musicalisches Lexicon in Leipzig . It is the first encyclopedic music lexicon in the German language, which brings together terms, personal articles and literature.
