ISBN10: 8763545608, ISBN13: 9788763545600, [publisher: Museum Tusculanum Press, Copenhagen] Hardcover Hardcover. Johann Adolph Scheibe (17081776) is considered to be the most important composer and Kapellmeister in Denmark in the eighteenth century. Although he is mainly known for his critique of Johann Sebastian Bachs style of composition and, to a lesser extent, of Bach as a music theoretician, Scheibe was an immensely productive composer, producing two operas, a series of cantatas, works composed for special occasions, instrumentals and several song collections including childrens songs and songs to the freemasons. This book is the first catalogue of Scheibes oeuvre. Comparing Scheibes music theoretical and aesthetic ideas, this book offers a balanced view of Scheibes extensive work and importance for cultural life, in particular in regards to music, in Copenhagen and the Duchies during the eighteenth century.
