Ernst (Ernest, Ernesto) (Dieterich Adolph) Eichner [Eicher, Eichler, Eigner, Eihner, Euchner, Fichner, Richner]
(Arolsen, bap. 15 February 1740 - Potsdam, early 1777)
German bassoonist, violinist and composer. The son of a musician, Johann Andreas Eichner (1694-1768), he studied under his father before becoming, on 1 September 1762, Kapellmeister at the court of Duke Christian IV in Zweibrücken. After his symphonies were published in Paris, he obtained a position as violinist with the Mannheim orchestra in 1768, winning a prestigious award in Paris in 1772 for his compositions after tours there and in London. In 1773 he accepted a position in Potsdam with the musical ensemble of Crown Prince Friedrich (later Friedrich Wilhelm). He interrupted his service there only once, to visit Arolsen and Leipzig (1775). His early death passed unnoticed by the musical public. Despite so, he was one of the most significant and progressive composers of the mid-century German symphony, though he often chose to retain the three-movement format. Eichner, no doubt consciously, sought a synthesis of the forms and idioms of his time; he fits into none of the important 18th-century ‘schools’, but was a solitary figure who, like so many of his contemporaries, aimed to give structure and substance to the new genre of the ‘concert symphony’. His music is known for its colorful and sensitive orchestration. His output includes 30 symphonies, 18 concertos (mostly for winds), 14 quartets, a quintet, two wind divertimentos, 12 trios for strings, seven sonatas, six duos, and six keyboard sonatas. He married Maria Magdelena Ritter and his daughter, Adelheid Eichner (c.1761-?), was a singer and composer with a precocious talent.
This (actually all of Eichners works) has a very particular and genuine 18th century feeling. A minor key, yet not deeply sad but rather uplifting! Maybe this kind of music is lesser apreciated by modern audiënces? Why are his works forgotten?
So good!!!!
Excellent! 💖
Thank you for the rare music of lesser known musicians and the additional information.
A short life, many musical works. But was he ever in Bern? - The old painting is certainly very interesting, but why no picture from his places of work?
First of all, thanks for your comment! Regarding the paintings, they are just a music add not necessarily related with the composers. I am trying to connect music and paintings in their eras but not more. Besides, is hardly find high resolution pictures of composers and their way of life (cities, relatives, etc.). Regards and enjoy music!
@@Reciclassicat Thank you for your prompt reply. That's how I thought it would be. It shouldn't be a reproach. Everything would be more consistent, therefore my question.
May I know: Are you German?
Thank you once again for the many works from the meantime (Baroque - Viennese Classicism)...
@@dieterpeszat2105 Dear Dimar. I am not German. I am Spanish but my only flag in my life is Music & Musicians! Thanks again!
@@Reciclassicat Thank you for sharing some personal data and motifs. Most people accept everything , but I always want to fully understand the context. I think the deep involvement with good music gives you a rich life. Thank you very much for the education you gave me. It helps those interested to better understand life and cultural development.
I love you. Always a good future!
nice
Why does it end in a minor key?
something intresting about it?, why should it end in a major key?.
@@herrvonunknowngut7141 I should have been more specific. I wanted to ask why it started and ended in a minor key while the key is apparently supposed to be D major.
@@vituzui9070 Thank you for your answer.
My mistake. The symphony is in d minor. Sorry!
