Events

Johann Sebastian Bach

  • Johann Sebastian Bach has been the Thomaskantor and musical director of the Thomaskirche in Leipzig since May 30, 1723 . In 1729 he also took over the management of the Collegium musicum founded by Georg Philipp Telemann in 1701 . Through the additional management of the college, he considerably expands his scope in Leipzig's musical life. With this student ensemble he performs German and Italian instrumental and vocal music, including his own concerts that he wrote in Weimar and Köthen, which he will later transform into harpsichord concerts with up to four soloists. The concerts take place once or twice a week in the Zimmermannisches Caffee-Hauß (destroyed in the war in 1943) or in the associated garden.
  • December 8th : Johann Sebastian Bach's cantata Tönet, you timpani! Sound out trumpets! will be premiered as a congratulatory cantata on the occasion of the birthday of Maria Josepha , Electress of Saxony and Queen of Poland, with the subtitle Dramma per musica in Leipzig.
  • Johann Sebastian Bach becomes a father for the seventeenth time. The tenth child together with his second wife Anna Magdalena Bach , Johann August Abraham is born and dies in the same year. Her daughter Regina Johanna, born in 1728, also dies. Between 1726 and 1733, seven small children died in the family, and one son (Gottfried Heinrich) was mentally disabled. In 1728, at the age of 51, Bach's last surviving sister Maria Salome also died. Some Bach biographers suspect that this stroke of fate caused Bach to get into a creative crisis in the following years.

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 .

Georg Philipp Telemann

  • First page of the 2nd movement of the overture from Part II of the table music by G. Ph. 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 on Gänsemarkt for an annual salary of 300 thalers , is rebuilding the Collegium musicum, which was founded by Matthias Weckmann in 1660 but has since ceased to perform, and is also taking 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.
  • Georg Philipp Telemann publishes his Tafelmusik , a collection of instrumental works. The original title is Musique de table . The work is one of Telemann's best-known compositions and is considered the climax and at the same time one of the last examples of court music .
  • For Au gust the Strong writes Telemann, the funeral music immortal fame Friederich August (falsely called Serenata Eroica), the mayor of Hamburg Garlieb Sillem the funeral music swan song.
  • Telemann publishes his music collection singing, playing and figured bass exercises , which was very well known in his time.
  • He is also planning a music-theoretical treatise on the recitative in 1733. However, this has not been handed down, so it must be assumed that it was either lost or was discarded by Telemann.

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

  • Wilhelm Friedemann Bach becomes organist at the Sophienkirche in Dresden. Here Johann Gottlieb Goldberg is one of his students, and he maintains the acquaintance of Dresden court musicians such as Johann Adolph Hasse , Johann Georg Pisendel and Silvius Leopold Weiss .
  • Giovanni Battista Bononcini , forced by a plagiarism affair , goes from London to Paris and composes here for the “ Concert spirituel ”.
  • Pietro Gnocchi , who has been Kapellmeister at the Brescia Cathedral since 1723, also becomes the cathedral's organist.
  • Carl Heinrich Graun composes the opera Lo Specchio della Fedelta for the wedding celebrations of the Prussian Crown Prince Friedrich and the Beverness Princess Elisabeth Christine, which premiered in 1733 in Salzdahlum . The Crown Prince was so enthusiastic about the opera that he expressed the wish that Duke Ludwig Rudolf would allow him to sign the composer to his court in Rheinsberg . In fact, in 1735, together with his brother - the concertmaster and composer Johann Gottlieb Graun - he will join the chapel of the Prussian Crown Prince and later King Frederick the Great as Vice Kapellmeister.
  • Johann Adolph Hasse , to whom King August the Strong, who died in February 1933, bestowed the title of “Royal Polish and Electoral Saxon Kapellmeister ”, officially entered Dresden on December 1, 1733 under the new ruler August III. on. Until then, Hasse and Faustina Bordoni will travel through Italy and increase their fame with joint opera appearances.
  • From 1733 onwards, Georg Friedrich Kauffmann published Harmonische Seelenlust on a subscription basis , the first printed collection of choral preludes for organ since Samuel Scheidt's Tabulatura Nova (1624). This collection will contain all of Kauffmann's chorale arrangements, but Kauffmann died of consumption before the entire edition was published and his widow continued the publication until 1736. Overall, see the harmonics Seelenlust 66 basso - chorales and 98 chorale preludes.
  • Jean-Marie Leclair is "Ordinaire de la musique du roi" at the court of Louis XV. , to whom he thanked his Op. 2 dedicated. He will hold this position until 1737. He also gave numerous public concerts at the Concerts spirituels until 1737 .
  • Carl Theodorus Pachelbel , who emigrated to North America in 1730 and initially lived in Boston , was appointed to the Trinity Church in Newport as the first organist , having previously been involved in the installation of the new organ from England. He worked here until 1735.
  • Giovanni Battista Pergolesi composed the opera Il prigionier superbo for the Empress' birthday on August 28, 1733 with the interlude La serva padrona , which, detached from the main opera, was soon re-enacted everywhere and became the first repertory piece in musical theater.
  • Nicola Antonio Porpora accepted an invitation to London to take over the artistic direction of the newly founded Opera of the Nobility , which was sponsored by the Prince of Wales and competed with the Georg Friedrich Handel opera company supported by King George II . With his first work for this company, Porpora made a clever move. After it became known that Handel's opera Arianna in Creta , planned for the 1733/1734 season, is based on the arrangement of a libretto by Pietro Pariati ( Arianna e Teseo ), which Porpora had previously set to music, Paolo Antonio Rolli immediately wrote a sequel. The new opera Arianna in Nasso opens the season at Lincoln's Inn Fields Theater on December 29, 1733, four weeks before Handel can present his Ariadne on January 26, 1734 at the Haymarket Theater.
  • After several failures, Jean-Philippe Rameau succeeds in staging his first scenic work, the operatic drama Hippolyte et Aricie based on Jean Racine's tragedy Phèdre . This work is in the tradition of Jean-Baptiste Lully , but it far exceeds the musical richness that has been accustomed to date. A contemporary thinks "this opera contains enough music to make ten out of it".
  • Jan Dismas Zelenka , who after the death of the Dresden conductor Johann David Heinichen in 1729, whom he had already represented during his illness, applied to Elector Friedrich August II to succeed him, is subject to Johann Adolf Hasse . In 1733 he was only appointed court composer and in 1735 a “church composer”. With the exception of occasional trips to Prague, he stayed in Dresden until his death in 1745.
