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.
- March 29 : Johann Sebastian Bach's St. Matthew Passion (BWV 244), whose premiere took place on 11 April 1727 performing at the St. Thomas Church in Leipzig for the first time in the revised version of Bach, which is considered as valid today and most performances The work is based. It is available in a fair copy from the second half of the 1730s, which is considered to be Bach's most beautiful and meticulous autograph and which indicates the great importance that he himself attached to the work. The score now belongs to the Berlin State Library and is one of its most precious original manuscripts.
- October 7th : On the birthday of August III. Johann Sebastian Bach performs his cantata Schleicht, playing waves, and mumbles gently (BWV 206) for the first time. The librettist of the work is unknown, but could have been Christian Friedrich Henrici (also known as Picander).
- November 19 : After the two-movement original version of the B minor Mass from 1733 was submitted to the electoral court in Dresden, Bach received the long-awaited message to be able to call himself a “ royal Polish and electoral Saxon composer at Dero Hoff-Capelle”. The title is neither associated with privileges nor with income, but strengthens his position vis-à-vis the Leipzig authorities.
- December 1st : Johann Sebastian Bach plays the new organ of the Frauenkirche in Dresden , which was completed in November by Gottfried Silbermann .
- Numerous hymns by Johann Sebastian Bach are published in Georg Christian Schemelli's Musicalisches Gesang-Buch .
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 .
- February 19 : The world premiere of the Cäcilienode The Alexanderfest by George Frideric Handel based on an ode by John Dryden takes place in the Covent Garden Theater in front of 1,300 people. Between the acts, Handel plays the Concerto grosso in C major (HWV 318), which will remain associated with the name Alexanderfest . A second performance in the presence of the entire court will take place on February 25th . The work is performed almost continuously every year to this day.

Domenico Scarlatti
- Domenico Scarlatti is the Portuguese princess Maria Bárbara de Bragança , whom he met at the court of the pious and extravagant King John V in Lisbon and taught as a music teacher, after her marriage to the Spanish heir to the throne Don Fernando of Asturias (from 1746 King Ferdinand VI. ) followed to Spain. From October 1730 to May 16, 1733, the Alcázares Reales in Seville was his permanent residence and place of work. Then the farm moves north to the area around Madrid , where, depending on the season, it alternates between the castles of Buen Retiro , El Pardo , Aranjuez , La Granja and El Escorial . Scarlatti is probably still in the "private" service of Maria Bárbara and seems to devote himself almost exclusively to the harpsichord and the composition of his sonatas.
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.

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.
