- W102190573 abstract "I. Introduction THE LITERATURE CONCERNING THE LIFE AND WORKS OF LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN HAS LONG INDICATED THAT THE COMPOSER'S PREFERRED VIOLINIST IN CHAMBER MUSIC WAS IGNAZ SCHUPPANZIGH (1776-1830). Born in Vienna, assembled around himself a string quartet whose personnel, of course, changed during his three decades in the Habsburg capital but always dedicated itself to the works of Haydn, Mozart, and, especially, Beethoven. In March 1826 second violinist Carl Holz even referred to the ensemble as Beedioven's Leibquartett-the composer's personal quartet.1 The Schuppanzigh entry in the recent second edition of The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians includes a chronological chart of these string quartet players, but next to the name of the violist Schreiber (active in the 1790s and possibly beyond) is the parenthetical annotation, name unknown.2 In fact, Schreibers first name, Anton, had already appeared in the periodical literature on Beethoven in 1984(3) and in essay collection emanating from the Beethoven-Haus in Bonn in 1988,4 but apparendy escaped notice. In the following study, I shall examine archival and other documentary sources with a discriminating eye and thus provide a first look at Anton Schreibers life and activities. Beyond this, I shall take the opportunity-in conjunction with these new details concerning Schreiber himself-to speculate, more closely than has heretofore been possible, about the first readings and performances of Beediovens Rasumovsky String Quartets, Opus 59. II. Anton Schreiber (1766/67-after 1830) Anton Schreiber was born in Jaromirsch, Bohemia, probably between June 1766 and June 1767,5 the son of weaver Anton Schreiber and his wife Anna.6 Situated nine miles north-northeast of Koniggratz (today's Hradec-Kralove), Jaromirsch (today's Jaromer) was typical of the small farm and market towns in Bohemia where the attractive music and musical education of the late Counter-Reformation still helped peacefully to fend off Prussian Protestantism to the north.7 In this environment, most village school children learned to sing and to play at least one instrument in addition to their elementary reading, writing, religion, and other subjects. If they were talented, the boys often found their way to a larger town nearby for further education. Thus, by 1795 or 1796, and probably somewhat earlier, Schreiber had moved to Prague, where he played second violin in the opera orchestra of the National Theater.8 Like his elder colleague, contrabassist Anton Grams, he probably also performed in the local private Kapelle of Prince Lobkowitz, and possibly in the orchestra of the Strahov Monastery's parish church.9 Two decades later, lexicographer Gottfried Johann Dlabacz, who had been choir director at the Strahov Monastery, recalled Schreiber as an outstanding violin player... in the Italian Opera in Prague, from which he was called to Prince Lobkowitz's Kapelle in Vienna as a virtuoso.10 Indeed, on January 1, 1797, at the time when young Prince Franz Joseph Maximilian Lobkowitz (1772-1816) attained his majority, Schreiber was employed as a violinist in the prince's newly constituted house orchestra in Vienna with a salary of 500 gulden. The violist for the small core ensemble of six players was Anton Alois Siegel, but Schreiber probably played viola occasionally when needed. By 1810 his salary had been raised to 750 gulden, and he remained in his position until the Kapelle was dissolved in June 1813.11 During this period, Prince Lobkowitz had also placed his instrumental personnel at the disposal ofVienna's theaters,12 probably the Theater der Wien at first (from perhaps 1803 through 1809 or so) and the Karntnertor Theater thereafter. Schreibers earliest recorded public appearance as a violist seems to have been at Beethoven's first concert for his own benefit, held at the Burgtheater on April 2, 1800, when he participated in a performance of the composers Septet, Opus 20, with violinist Ignaz Schuppanzigh, violoncellist Philipp Schindlocker, contrabassist Johann Dietzel, clarinettist Joseph Bahr (Beer), hornist Mathias Nickel, and bassoonist Wenzel Matuschek. …" @default.
