Franz Ignaz Danzi (June 15, 1763 - April 13, 1826) was a German cellist, composer and conductor. Danzi lived at a significant time in the history of European concert music. His career, spanning the transition from the late Classical to the early Romantic styles, coincided with the origin of much of the music that lives in our concert halls and is familiar to contemporary classical-music audiences. Born in Schwetzingen, Franz Danzi worked in Mannheim, Munich, Stuttgart and Karlsruhe, where he died. A staunch friend of Weber, he helped mount some of his operas and was one of the first to conduct opera from a rostrum rather than directing from the keyboard, as was still the custom in the early nineteenth century.
“Franz Danzi was born into a family of Italian musicians. His father, Innocenz Danzi, was a virtuoso cellist and composer, the best-paid musician of the orchestra of the Mannheim elector prince. Franz received his initial musical education from his father and he made such progress that he was appointed court cellist at fifteen.
Danzi created significant works in almost every instrumental and vocal genre. He was a successful artist in his capacity as a composer, a conductor (he was apparently among the first to use a baton) and as a cellist. His biographers invariably highlight his friendship with Weber, which started in Stuttgart in 1807. Danzi did play a decisive role in the life of his friend, 23 years his junior.
For a better understanding of Danzi, here are a few quotations by Danzi's friends and first biographers, F. J. Lipowsky and Fr. Rochlitz. "Even as a youth of twelve or thirteen he was composing all sorts of things, which appealed to his father and the small circle of people who had the opportunity to hear them. These were songs and pieces for cello." As regards Danzi's education, they wrote, "Throughout his life, whose solid foundations he had laid very early, he had a thorough understanding of numerous disciplines and worldly matters not necessarily connected to music, and everything that he ever learnt was available to him, classified and in context. Consequently, he spoke well and wrote well; he was able to eloquently express his intentions and actions; as a conversation partner he was initiatory and captivating; his behaviour was polite and likeable, making a good impression on everyone.” Contemporary papers willingly published the writings of this highly cultivated man, and praised his "mature and rational works that reflected his erudition and mentality - profoundly philosophical and rooted in his knowledge of the Classics." (Note by the cellist Balázs Máté)
Die Werke, die Sie gepostet haben, sind so cool! Ich höre immer gern die Werke, die Sie gepostet haben.
Vielen Dank!
Thank you very much! I'm glad to hear that!
Purely delightful Piano Concerto by this acquaintance of the great W.A.Mozart. Danzi, without a doubt had heard several of Mozart's wonderful piano concertos, as he penned his concerto at least 8 years after Mozart's passing. Mozart's influence is definitely heard in Danzi's work here, with hiis use of the wind instruments, especially the clarinet to add wonderful color to this concerto. He learned from the best, as Mozart loved the clarinet and the other winds, featuring them with obbligato parts in the vast majority of his piano concertos from K.450 (#15) onward. Very enjoyable work by Danzi. It makes you wish he wrote more than just this one.
Joseph Wölfl contributed a few.
@@brendangordon2168I'll have to check him out.
J'ai adoré l'intro.. 🎶💓🎶
Man kann dieses Andante auch als, in Musik übersetzte Beschreibung des irdischen Lebesablaufes ,mit allen seinen Höhen und Tiefen, auffassen. Einfach ein Meisterwerk.
Thank you for this very nice comment!
Eine fließende Melodik, de einem Tränen, ob ihre Schönheit, in die Augen treibt ! Wenn es etwas Göttliches gibt, dann hier in voller Entfaltung.
Thank you again!
Wunderschön, allein schon der Orchestereinsatz am Anfang, und erst das Andante, überirdisch schön, eine Musik nicht von dieser Welt. Ein göttliches Wunder was Menschen schaffen können. Mein innigster Dank an alle, die diese Musik hier wieder der Allgemeinheit zugänglich machen. Wenn wir den Anspruch als Kulturnation stellen wollen, müssten unsere "Öffentlich rechtlichen Medien" vordringlich, diese Komponisten der Vergessenheit entreißen.
Oh, there are so many unjustly forgotten composers who should be brought back to life! But in these turbulent times, culture is often harmed.
Let's thank TH-cam for allowing us to post and listen even if the ads abound.
@@sibarit101 All wright, this times are so turbulent, because we had forgotten our culture and behaviour. The time where Europ was the top in the world is gone. Europ is now old and soon dead. I am not a pessimist, I am a realist ! Ceterum censeo.
very pleasant concerto,indeed
Ganz große Klasse, eine Pianistische Meisterleistung, muss man unbedingt gehört haben
You are right! It's almost painful that this composer and his music are so little known!
@@sibarit101Genau erkannt.
Magnificent piece, wonderfully played. Thank you for posting it.
Thank you too!
This piano concerto in E flat major was not playable because the TH-cam account of the sound source I had was suspended, so I am very grateful for this upload.
The form and color of a typical classical concerto, especially the melody of the second movement, is very beautifully impressed, reminiscent of the second movement of Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 20 in D minor.
What I can say throughout all the songs is that there is a part that resembles Franz Xaver Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 2 in E-flat major, which has the same tonality.
E-flat major is my favorite of the 24 tonality, Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 22 in E-flat major, Beethoven's "Eroica" and "Emperor". Speaking of Hydon, I like to listen to Symphony No. 103 in E-flat major, "Drum Roll".
Anyway, there is no doubt that this Piano Concerto in E-flat major is one of Franz Danzi's masterpieces, and I think it is certain that he is not the only composer of Concerto Symphony in B-flat major OP.47.
Thank you very much for this complete comment.

Thanks for listening!
Coming home to such a beautiful concert after a beautiful journey in Swiss, Italy and Austria is a privilege. As always my friend thanks to you. I like this version more than the pianoforte version of Christoph Hammer.
Thanks, my friend!
I'm glad you had a pleasant trip, especially since I hear that we will have pandemic problems again and we will not be able to travel...
I wish you and your wife many such happy summer days!
I agree with you. I find the fortepiano version pleasant but it lacks the dynamism that the modern piano gives. This is a wonderful version.
