Latest revision as of 21:41, 6 July 2024

"The Musical Party" by Johannes Voorhout. Reincken is playing the harpsichord.

Johann Adam Reincken (?-1722) (also known as Jan Adam or Jan Adams) was a German organist and composer.

Life

The year of Reincken's birth is not known. It has been theorized to be 1623 or 1628, but, if true, this would mean that several events in his life were unusually late, such as the beginning of his musical study. There is evidence of someone named "Jan Reinse" being baptized in Deventer on 10 December 1643. "This date, too, is problematic, but it is at least consistent with the baptismal records of Adam Reincken's other children in 1639, 1640 and 1641,"[1]. He died in Hamburg in 1722.

Works

Lost manuscripts

The Fugue in G Minor and Toccata in G Minor do not appear in any remaining manuscripts.

Fugue in G Minor[2]

The Fugue in G Minor is known to have been located in D-DS Ms. Nr. 4061. This manuscript has been lost (it contained another fugue by Reincken as well), and only an incipit from a catalogue listing of it remains. However, one of the pieces had already been published by in Historischen Klavierkonzerten vol. 3 by Buchmayer.

Toccata in G Minor[3]

The Toccata in G Minor was published in Le parfait organiste by François Joseph Fétis in 1830. The manuscript that this piece is from is not known (the source of the manuscript is recorded as "dans les bibliotheques de plusieurs mateurs, en Allemagne"), as well as its fate, wether it has been destroyed or lost. Apparently this publication was almost entirely forgotten, as this piece was not included in any edition of the known keyboard works of Reincken, and this piece was revealed to Klaus Beckmann by Ewald Kooiman.

Only the Allemande and Sarabande carry the inscription: "J.A. Reinke", but there can be no doubt that the entire suite is by Reincken, especially since the Courante is a variation of the Allemande.		 [5]

Before the discovery of the manuscript copied by Johann Sebastian Bach, the only copy of An Wasserflüssen Babylon that was known was a copy by Johann Christoph Altnickol. Since Altnickol was Bech's son in law, it seems likely that he copied the piece directly from Bach's copy which we now have. Despite this possible connection, the Bach manuscript contains some important readings, such as this part in which the Altnickol copy has poorer imitation and is missing one measure:[8]
