| Added by magataganm, 11 Nov 2013 Johann Philipp Kirnberger (also Kernberg, 1721 - 1783) was a musician, composer (primarily of fugues), and music theorist. He was a student of Bach and is known mostly as a theorist and musical commentator. Most of his works are for keyboard, the theorist's medium, and recordings of any of them remain infrequent. The music dates from the 1760s. The two trios for flute, cello, and harpsichord -- more than trio sonatas in places -- he dismisses with the statement that they "seem to have been conceived...as contrapuntal finger exercises." There is a lot of sheer figuration in all these pieces, but no more than one would expect from a keyboardist student of Bach's, and the contrasts between stout Baroque chords in the harpsichord and lighthearted ornament in the flute, which tends to make itself known as a movement proceeds, is charming. The works for solo harpsichord are purely in the Bach mold, but all the works with flute show evidence of an intriguing effort to reconcile the teachings of a very conservative mentor with new stylistic trends. This isn't an essential work for the casual listener, but it will give those who love the music of the middle eighteenth century both enjoyment and food for thought: the trios may have more to do with the roots of chamber music than is generally supposed. Although this piece was originally written for Flute (Recorder) and continuo, I created this arrangement for Flute and Concert (Pedal) Harp. | |||
