Johann Christian Kittel (1732 - 1809)
Allemagne

Johann Christian Kittel (18 February 1732 - 17 April 1809) was a German organist, composer, and teacher. He was one of the last students of Johann Sebastian Bach. He was born in Erfurt, and first studied with Jakob Adlung. He moved to Leipzig in 1748 and was a favourite pupil of Johann Sebastian Bach until his death two years later. He was appointed organist and teacher in Langensalza in 1751, following which he returned to Erfurt as organist of the Barfüsserkirche, in 1756, moving to the Predigerkirche in 1762. His students included M.G. Fischer, K.G. Umbreit, J.W. Hässler and J.C.H. Rinck. He refused many generous and more munificent offers, including one in 1790 from Duchess Anna Amalia of Saxe-Weimar to travel to Italy, remaining in Erfurt for the rest of his life. He played many evening recitals there and was famous as a virtuoso organist; Goethe, Herder, and Wieland all went to hear him play, and he made a concert tour to Hamburg in 1800, remaining there for a year while preparing a book of chorales for Schleswig-Holstein. He considered himself to be 'grounded in the principles of Bach' and aimed 'to awaken, maintain and heighten feelings of devotion in the hearts of his hearers by means of music'. His teaching and composition fulfilled this aim by a restriction to simple forms which were best suited to liturgical use. He wrote some large-scale organ works such as double chorale variations based on Bach's examples, though he was influenced by the contemporary galant style, with a strong emphasis on melody. His piano sonatas of 1789 have features in common with the Viennese classical school. (Hide extended text) ... (Read all)
