Short bio Benedikt Anton Aufschnaiter
Full biography Benedikt Anton Aufschnaiter
Benedikt Anton Aufschnaiter (1665-1742) was a German Baroque composer who began his musical career as a musician in an orchestra in Vienna. He eventually secured an appointment as Kapellmeister at the Court of Carniola, in present-day Slovenia. Aufschnaiter composed both sacred and secular music, and his works include operas, orchestral music, chamber music, and vocal and choral pieces. His music is characterized by its lively rhythms, bright harmonies, and colorful instrumentation.
Aufschnaiter's music was widely performed throughout Central Europe during his lifetime, and he was highly regarded by both his contemporaries and later generations of composers. His works were published in several collections, including "Concors discordia" and "Harmonia pastoritia." Aufschnaiter's compositions reflect the Baroque style of the time, with its emphasis on drama, ornamentation, and grandeur. However, his music also displays a distinctive charm and playfulness that set it apart from the works of other Baroque composers.
Today, Aufschnaiter's music is still occasionally performed and recorded, and he is considered an important figure in the history of Baroque music.
