Full biography Antonin Reichenauer
Antonin Reichenauer (also spelled Anton Reichenauer or Antonn Reichenauer) was a Baroque composer who lived from around 1694 to 1730. He was a native of Bohemia (now the Czech Republic) and is known for his instrumental works, particularly his concertos. Reichenauer was active in Prague, where he was a member of the court orchestra of Count Wenzel von Morzin.
It is believed that Reichenauer studied with Johann Joseph Fux, a prominent composer and music theorist at the time. Reichenauer's music shows the influence of Italian Baroque composers, particularly Antonio Vivaldi, as well as the emerging galant style of the early 18th century.
Reichenauer's surviving works include concertos for a variety of instruments, including oboe, bassoon, and violin, as well as chamber music and a few vocal pieces. His music is characterized by lively rhythms, virtuosic solos, and intricate counterpoint. In addition to his own compositions, Reichenauer also played a key role in the development of the Bohemian Baroque style, influencing other composers in the region.
Today, Reichenauer's music is still performed and recorded by early music ensembles, and he is recognized as an important figure in the Baroque music of central Europe.
