Carl Friedrich Abel

  • #ClassicsaDay #ClassicalDistancing Week 2

    May 15th, 2020 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: #ClassicalDistancing, #ClassicsaDay, Carl Friedrich Abel, Classical music, Eric Honour, Steven Paulus, Vincent Persichetti, Wu Man

    Normally the Classics a Day theme for May involved May Day (#SovietaDay). Having a theme centered around social distancing/self-quarantine seemed more appropriate. The challenge for May is post works for unusual solo instruments or works about solitude. Here are my selections for the second week of #ClassicalDistancing 05/11/20 Eric Homour – Devil’s Branch According to […]

  • Carl Friedrich Abel Concertos Given New Life

    In 2018 a collection of music by Carl Friederich Abel was discovered in Poland. In 1787 Count Maltzan purchased the manuscripts at Abel’s estate sale in London. He later returned to his native Poland, the collection soon forgotten. The Maltzan Collection has 29 works — 22 of them previously unknown. Six receive their recording world […]

  • #ClassicsaDay #ClassicalShorts Week 3

    Feb 22nd, 2019 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: #ClassicsaDay, Barbara Strozzi, Carl Friedrich Abel, Classical music, George Enescu, Jean Sibelius, Joseph Jongen, Paul Hindemith, Twitter

    February is the shortest month of the year. That fact inspired #ClassicsaDay team (of which I’m a member) to make short classical pieces the theme for the month. The challenge is to select stand-alone works, not movements of larger pieces. Participants post links to short classical pieces in the social media channel of their choice, […]

  • Carl Abel Symphonies Op. 1 and Op. 4

    Feb 26th, 2018 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Carl Friedrich Abel, CD Review, Classical music, CPO, Kölner Akademie, Michael Alexander Willens, Orchestral music

    Carl Abel was a student of Johann Sebastian Bach and a business partner with his son Johann Christian. His music shares some of the qualities of the “London” Bach. The works on this collection come from two publications. Abel’s Opus 1 was published in 1760, his Opus 4 two years later. Both sets feature short, […]

  • Carl Friedrich Abel’s Op. 7 Symphonies — Better Than Mozart?

    Sep 20th, 2017 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Carl Friedrich Abel, CD Review, Classical music, CPO, La Stagione Frankfurt, Michael Schneider, Orchestral music

    For quite a while the 6th symphony of Carl Friedrich Abel’s Op. 7 was attributed to Mozart as his third. It’s a logical error. Young Mozart hand-copied the work in 1764 for study while visiting London. When the manuscript was found in his papers, stylistically it matched Mozart’s and was in his hand, and so… […]
