Christian Heinrich Rinck is remembered in music for work that changed what came after it.
The record lists Christian Heinrich Rinck as German composer and organist.
Christian Heinrich Rinck was born at Elgersburg in 1770. His recorded nationality is Saxe-Coburg and Gotha.
The concert hall and the public audience were new in this period; music was beginning to be written for buyers rather than employers.
He worked as composer, organist and music critic.
The instruments recorded are organ.
What survives in music is rarely what sold best at the time.
That the work came out of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha shaped it: musical traditions, training institutions and the reach of a recording industry all differ by country.
Christian Heinrich Rinck died in 1846, aged 76. The recordings and scores remain, which is the only durable form a musical life takes.
