Composer
J. Schmitt
Joseph Schmitt (Gernsheim, Germany 1734 – Amsterdam, the Netherlands 1791)
As a composer, performer, conductor, teacher, theorist and publisher as well as the founding director, conductor and artist in residence of the first purpose-built concert hall in the Netherlands (“Felix Meritis” in Amsterdam), Joseph Schmitt is the most important musical figure in the Dutch music culture of the later 18th century. Schmitt was also a happening international cultural personality on the world stage of the 18th century. His music was published and performed all over Europe. He rubbed shoulders with the international musical and cultural elite of the time – what one might call the artistic jet set of the 18th century. In terms of the flow of creativity, aesthetics, cultural influences and the exchange of ideas in the 18th century, Schmitt represents an astounding set of historical cultural connections, which link him to composers such as Abel, the Bach Sons, Haydn, Mozart and the Mannheim masters.
