| | Louis Spohr - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Spohr was born in Braunschweig in the Duchy of Brunswick-Lüneburg and showed talent for the violin from his early childhood. | | | Spohr was a noted violinist, and invented the violin chin-rest. | | | He also wrote an assortment of other quartets, duos, trios, quintets and sextets, an octet and a nonet, works for solo violin and for solo harp, and works for violin and harp to be played by him and his wife together. |

| | Spohr was born in the North German city of Braunschweig (Brunswick) on 5 April 1784 and as a boy showed talent for the violin. | | | It was at this time that Spohr wrote his first mature compositions – some violin duets followed by his first Violin Concerto, Op 1. | | | In later years Spohr scaled down his public violin appearances but his renown as a conductor led to many invitations to take charge of music festivals, including the inauguration of the Beethoven Monument in Bonn in 1845 as well as further visits to England in 1839, 1843, 1847, 1852 and 1853. |

| | He asked Spohr to compose chamber music, thirty ducats for a quartet, thirty-five for a quintet, with Tost to retain the manuscript and to be performed only with Tost in attendance. | | | The first violin part is reminiscent of the quatuor brillant works of which Spohr was an adept exponent and is virtuosic to a considerable degree. | | | In its aversion to easy effects or to the innovative Spohr might be seen as a retrogressive composer but, as the Op 33 No 2 Quintet shows, there is plenty of room for a craftsman of lyric abundance in the chamber literature. |

| | Encouraged by her, he wrote a number of chamber pieces with piano parts so that this string quintet is the only work for strings alone that Spohr wrote in the first 9 years of his new marriage (previously he had regularly produced sets of chamber music for strings). | | | A virtuoso violinist, Spohr wrote chamber music all his life. | | | She had shared his early successes and the two of them had been a notable harp and violin duo (Spohr wrote a number of duos for them to play and these have also been released on Naxos). |

| | Born in Northern Germany in 1784, Spohr showed early talent for and interest in the violin, and by age fifteen he was a member of the ducal orchestra at Braunschweig. | | | Also, in addition to having invented both the violin chin-rest and rehearsal numbers/letters for printed music, he was the first major conductor to use a baton. | | | Although virtually unknown to general audiences, the musical legacy of German composer, conductor and violinist Ludwig Spohr (known to English audiences of the day as Louis Spohr) is far-reaching indeed. |

| | Spohr wrote fifteen violin concertos, the first completed in 1803 and the last in 1844. | | | The later symphonies move from the classical style that he had inherited to music with a programmatic element. | | | His compositions include a number of works with violin and harp, written for himself and his wife, the harpist Dorette Scheidler. |

| | INKPOT#34 CLASSICAL MUSIC REVIEWS: SPOHR Piano Trios Nos. 2 and 4. Hartley Piano Trio (Naxos) |
| | As I begun playing the disc at home, close to midnight, I experienced that feeling of anticipation, maybe a bit of trepidation, which we get when we're about to listen to a piece of music for the first time. | | | This movement is light-hearted, moving from a skipping theme to a lyrical second subject wonderfully fitted the piano-violin-cello partnership. | | | After all, if none of the names here (including Spohr) are familiar to you, then you could just let the music and music-making speak for itself. |

| | After previously offering an expertly performed complete cycle of Louis Spohr's violin concertos for CPO (and an outstanding bargain at six CDs for the price of two!), violinist Ulf Hoelscher returns, this time with his sister, scholar/violinist Gunhild Hoelscher, in a recording of Spohr's Concertantes 1 and 2 for two violins and orchestra. | | | This somber passacaglia-like meditation is a marvel, with a fiercely sentimental violin melody punctuated throughout by clusters of brooding string figures. | | | The unusual if not unprecedented scoring of the second-movement Larghetto is also fascinating, as Spohr eschews the orchestra's winds, violins, and violas, leaving the soloists accompanied only by the cellos and a double bass. |

| | Review |
| | By the way, sources reveal there are two other Spohr violin concertos, and I'm not referring here to the two he wrote for two violins and orchestra. | | | This set will obviously will appeal not only to Spohr admirers but to those seeking a solid composer from the first half of the 18th century. | | | Considering the fact that Spohr was only twenty-one years old when he completed it, it is a remarkable achievement. |

| | Publisher description for Library of Congress control number 83026206 |
| | Published in Spohr's 200th anniversary year, this book is the first to deal at length with both the life and the works of a composer who exerted a strong influence on the development of nineteenth-century music. | | | The chronological account of Spohr's life unfolds in parallel with the description of his musical output; a final chapter considers the decline of his reputation after his death. | | | And, since so little of Spohr's very substantial output is available in modern editions and is seldom performed, the book will also prove useful to practical musicians in search of worthwhile music for performance. |
