Full biography Johann Friedrich Reichardt
Johann Friedrich Reichardt (1752-1814) was a German composer , writer, music critic, and Kapellmeister (music director) of the royal court in Berlin. He was known for his significant contributions to the German Lied (art song) and was considered one of the greatest song composers of his time. Reichardt's compositions were influenced by the German Classical period, and he often set poems of famous German poets such as Goethe and Schiller to music.
Aside from his music career, Reichardt also had a passion for writing, contributing to many literary publications of his time. He wrote literary criticism, essays, and travelogues, in addition to his own published poetry.
Reichardt was also a music historian and scholar, and he played an essential role in the development of German national identity through music. He encouraged the use of traditional German folk music in composition and rejected the influence of foreign musical styles such as French and Italian.
Reichardt's daughter Luise Reichardt also became a composer and highly regarded songwriter. Overall, Johann Friedrich Reichardt left an indelible mark on German music and culture, and his contributions continue to be celebrated and studied to this day.
