Germany. Medal 1831 commemorating the distinguished composer Carl Friedrich Zelter, by Angelica Facius, Bronze 35 mm, weight 25,50 g, Condition XF, beautiful brown lustrous patina, small spot on reverse, small scratches
Carl Friedrich Zelter (born December 11, 1758, in Berlin; died May 15, 1832, in Berlin) was a German composer and music teacher.
He composed in a variety of musical genres, but his most significant works are his over 200 songs, set to texts by Goethe, Schiller, and writers from the Göttingen Hain circle. These works serve as a transitional link in the development between the ballad forms of the Classical period and Schubert’s songs. Zelter adhered to the frequently expressed principle of the primacy of the text over music, the supremacy of the strophic song, and the subordinate role of the accompaniment. As a leading figure in German music of his time, he contributed to raising the level of musical culture and elevating music to the status of an academic art. His work influenced the establishment of state-subsidized musical institutions. He revived interest in early religious music and raised the standard of its performance, contributing to the preservation of the memory of the works of J.S. Bach and G.F. Handel in the 19th century.
