Johann Adam Hiller worked in music at a period when the art was changing shape around them.
The record lists Johann Adam Hiller as German composer and conductor (1728–1804).
Johann Adam Hiller was born at Osiek Łużycki in 1728. His recorded nationality is Germany. He trained at Leipzig University and Kreuzschule.
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, conductor and choir director.
The instruments recorded are flute.
His work is classed as opera.
A musical reputation rests on a handful of works that refuse to date.
That the work came out of Germany shaped it: musical traditions, training institutions and the reach of a recording industry all differ by country.
Johann Adam Hiller died in 1804, aged 76. The recordings and scores remain, which is the only durable form a musical life takes.
