Johann Friedrich Reichardt (1752 - 1814) Allemagne Johann Friedrich Reichardt (25 November 1752 – 27 June 1814) was a German composer, writer and music critic. Much of Reichardt's reputation as a composer rests on his Lieder that number about 1500, using texts by some 125 poets. Important among these are the settings of Goethe's texts, some of which were known to, and influenced, Schubert. He was also known by his Singspiele, a genre that he refined with Goethe's support. He also wrote 49 songs to Herder's texts. Aside from his music, his work as an essayist has maintained its value up to this day. The collection of poems Des Knaben Wunderhorn is, in the epilogue, dedicated to Reichardt. This was probably in the expectation that he would set the text to music. However, such a setting from Reichardt was never composed. (Hide extended text)...(Read all) Source : Wikipedia
