Carl STAMITZ
Carl Philipp Stamitz (May 7, 1745 in Mannheim - November 9, 1801 in Jena) is one of the most representative composers of the second generation of those who worked at the court of the Elector Palatine in Mannheim during the second half of eighteenth century. His father, Johann Stamitz, conductor, musical form his son before other masters (Christian Cannabich, Ignaz Holzbauer and Franz Xaver Richter) taking its place. After remaining a time second fiddle to the court, he left Mannheim in 1770 and participated in the age of 25 years in Paris, engaged as composer at the court of Louis Duke de Noailles. It was at Versailles, two years later, he composed The Royal Promenade, the first of a series of symphonies. Despite gray areas, we know he went to Augsburg, Vienna, Strasbourg and London. It is found in 1779 in The Hague at the court of William V of Orange, where, 23 November 1783, he plays Beethoven at the age of 12 years. The following years are in many ways (and perhaps especially financially) and a high volatility, while composing, he held various positions. At his death in November 1801, just months after the death of his wife, his possessions are fully sold to pay debts. Like other members of the Mannheim School, Carl Stamitz was much practiced Sinfonia Concertante (it has left many concertos for woodwinds and strings) and chamber music. It is the origin of the style galant. In 1810, a catalog of his works, since disappeared, was published. He is the brother of Anton Stamitz (1750-1800?).
