Johann Philipp Kirnberger

Japanese: キルンベルガー（英語表記）Johann Philipp Kirnberger

1721‐83
German music theorist and composer. He studied under JS Bach for two years from 1739. From 1758 he served as the court conductor of Princess Anna Amalia of Berlin for the rest of her life. His compositions and performances were precise but lacked inspiration, and he was not highly praised by his contemporaries. His talents were more evident as a teacher and theorist, and he has written books on harmony, counterpoint, music teaching methods, and tuning. [Tsuneko Arakawa]

ドイツの音楽理論家，作曲家。1739年より2年間J.S.バッハに師事。58年より終生ベルリンのアンナ･アマーリア王女の宮廷楽長を務めた。作品および演奏は正確ではあるが霊感に乏しく，同時代者からも高い評価は得られなかった。本領はむしろ教師，理論家として発揮され，和声，対位法，音楽教授法，調律に関する著書がある。【荒川恒子】
