About this title

Synopsis

English Summary: Johann Jacob Froberger (1616-1667) is one of the most fascinating phenomena in 17th century music. His biography took him across Europe and to all the important musical centers of his time, including Rome, Vienna, Paris and London. This cosmopolitan style in his life story is reflected in a variety of ways in his work, which was fundamental to baroque piano music and exerted influence well into the 18th century. This volume contains new research and extensive documentation on the composer's life and work, including a collection of all biographical sources. German Description: Johann Jacob Froberger (1616-1667) zahlt zu den faszinierendsten Erscheinungen in der Musik des 17. Jahrhunderts. Seine Biographie fuhrte quer durch Europa bzw. in alle wichtigen musikalischen Zentren seiner Zeit, darunter Rom, Wien, Paris und London. Dieser kosmopolitische Zuschnitt seiner Lebensgeschichte spiegelt sich auf mannigfache Weise in seinem Schaffen wider, das grundlegend fur die barocke Claviermusik war und bis weit in das 18. Jahrhundert Einfluss ausgeubt hat. Der vorliegende Band enthalt neue Forschungen sowie eine umfangreiche Dokumentation zu Leben und Werk des Komponisten einschliesslich einer Sammlung samtlicher biographischer Quellen. "Avec discretion" ist eine von Froberger haufig verwendete Spielanweisung. Insofern sich der Begriff einerseits also auf die Art des musikalischen Vortrags bezieht, andererseits aber tief in der Kultur der Fruhen Neuzeit wurzelt, kann er zugleich fur das thematische Spektrum des Bands stehen, das von Fragen der Auffuhrungspraxis uber Biographisches bis hin zum ideengeschichtlichen Kontext seiner Musik reicht.
