Johann Mattheson is one of the most frequently quoted writers about music in history. It is not often that in programme notes of discs with German music of the 18th century he is not mentioned. He was a productive writer, wether it be about performance practice or matters of style and taste. And he also was a keen observer of the musical developments in his time. In his writings he didn't hide his aesthetic preferences. Whereas a contemporary like Johann Sebastian Bach made frequent use of counterpoint, Mattheson stated unequivocally that the very foundation of music was melody.
As so often happens with writers on music who were also composers, they are frequently quoted but their music is largely ignored. There seems to be a kind of prejudice that writers - in particular music theorists - can't be really good composers. Mattheson has fallen victim to this prejudice, and so have the likes of Johann Josef Fux and 'Padre' Martini. But if you listen to their compositions there is no reason to look down on them as if they are just dull illustrations of music theory. Recent recordings of the oeuvre of Fux and Martini are evidence of that.
Mattheson's oeuvre as a composer - especially a composer of vocal music - hasn't really been explored yet. Some years ago I had the rare opportunity to attend a performance of an opera by Mattheson. It was not staged, but even so it was enough to prove that Mattheson had a lot to offer. It is a big shame his operas and oratorios are almost completely ignored. Mattheson's keyboard music has fared a little better. Recently the Brazilian harpsichordist Cristiano Holz recorded a selection of the same collection performed here (a disc I haven't heard yet) and in the late 1970s the Canadian harpsichordist Bradford Tracey recorded also four suites from this set. And Vladimir Ruso made a recording of Die wohlklingende Fingersprache of 1735. Even so Colin Booth has done us a great favour by recording the complete set of suites of 1714.–Johan van Veen
