Georg Joseph Vogler is remembered in music for work that changed what came after it.
The record lists Georg Joseph Vogler as German composer, organist, teacher and music theorist (1747–1814).
Georg Joseph Vogler was born at Würzburg in 1749. His recorded nationality is Germany.
Music then was written to commission, for a court, a church or a patron, and a composer's freedom was bounded by whoever paid.
He worked as composer, musicologist and music theorist.
The instruments recorded are organ.
His work is classed as opera.
He performed with Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities.
What survives in music is rarely what sold best at the time.
That the work came out of Germany shaped it: musical traditions, training institutions and the reach of a recording industry all differ by country.
Georg Joseph Vogler died in 1814, aged 65. The recordings and scores remain, which is the only durable form a musical life takes.
