| Added by alfredo17, 10 Jul 2022 Preface Wolfgang Schindlöcker (21. 08. 1786 Wien – 18. 01.1864 Würzburg) was born in a family of musicians. He learnt violin from his father Michael Schindlöcker, trumpetist and violinist of the Imperial chamber music Wien, and cello from his uncle Philipp Schindlöcker, the principal cellist of Empress Maria Theresia. Already in the age of 15 he started playing in the public and has been engaged in the court theatre. In 1807 he became chamber musician in the grand ducal chapel in Würzburg. When in 1815 the court music in Würzburg was dissolved, all musicians formally went into pension, but still had to do service in the court church. In 1852 they were finally retired and in 1864 Schindlöcker died as the last surviving court musician. Wolfgang Schindlöcker was an outstanding cellist, and taught his instrument from 1812 – 1825 at the Academic Music Institute Würzburg. In the years from 1828 to 1835 he performed concert tours through North America. Schindlöcker composed several pieces of chamber music, some of which have been printed during his lifetime: - Grand Duo d minor op. 5 for 2 Cellos, Johann André, Offenbach. “Dedicated to his pupil Gm. Steigerwald”. Available digitally at IMSLP - ‘Duetto 2’ for 2 Cellos, Rism ID no. 1001136881 - Duo A major for violin and cello. RISM ID no 1001136456 - Sonatas C major for 2 cellos , RISM ID no 1001001057. Digitally available IMSLP - 3 Adagios and Fugue for 2 Cellos . Kunz WW 115a, Deutscher Musikrat, literature list for “Jugend musiziert” - Fantasie and Polonaise for flute, violin, 2 violas and cello, Johann André, Offenbach 1819 - Divertimento F major or “Serenade pour Flute, Cor de Bassette, Alto et Violoncelle dedié a son Ami François Steigerwald ouvre 6”. Johann André, Offenbach 1823 - Quartetto no. 2 for flute, basset horn, viola and cello - Quartetto no. 3 for flute, basset horn, viola and cello Here the Quartetto no. 3 is presented. It is based on a manuscript, originally preserved in the music collection “Fürstlich Löwenstein-Wertheim-Freudenbergsche Musiksammlung” in Wertheim. We are grateful to Heinrich Fink for a copy of this work. The copy consists of 4 hand written single parts. These parts were partially inconsistent and contained errors in the harmonies. They have been tacitly improved. Since the basset horn is a rare instrument, we have prepared a part for clarinet in B in lieu of the basset horn.
