Added by kheidtmann, 25 Oct 2019 AMEB Grade 1 (Australian Music Examinations Board) Johann Kuhnau (160-1722) was a German polymath: known primarily as composer today, he was also active as novelist, translator, lawyer, and music theorist, being able late in life to combine these activities with the duties of his official post of Thomaskantor in Leipzig, which he occupied for 21 years. One year after his death, Kuhnau was succeeded as Thomaskantor by Johann Sebastian Bach, but it was only after 3 much more preferred candidates (Telemann, Graupner and Fasch (both pupils of Kuhnau)) refused. Like Kuhnau before him Bach also used the title Clavier-Übung (keyboard practice, 1-4) for his keyboard publications. |
