Friedrich Wilhelm Rust (6 July 173928 February 1796) was a German violinist, pianist and composer.〔 He hailed from a renowned musical family in Germany. He was the father of the pianist and organist Wilhelm Karl Rust and the grandfather of Thomaskantor, composer and Bach scholar Wilhelm Rust.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Wilhelm Rust (Composer, Thomaskantor) )〕 == Life == He was born in Wörlitz near Dessau, Saxony-Anhalt on 6 July 1739. Encouraged to study violin, Rust was taught early on by his older brother, Johann Ludwig Anton, who was an accomplished musician with J.S. Bach's orchestra and played as a violinist in Leipzig.〔 Rust also studied piano, particularly the works of Johann Sebastian Bach; he was able to play his collection of preludes and fugues in all keys ''Das Wohltemperierte Clavier'' from memory at the age of 13〔 or 16, according to other sources.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Rust Variant: Its Appearance and Disappearance )〕 His father, a princely ''Kammerrat'' and bailiff, died in 1751, and he moved with his mother and brother to Gröbzig. He attended the Lutheran gymnasium in Cöthen beginning in 1755, and from 1758 took law at University of Halle.〔 During this period, he studied composition and organ with Wilhelm Friedemann Bach, who he described as "stingy with his art". From 1762, he took music lessons with Carl Höckh in Zerbst, and with Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach and Franz Benda in Berlin and Potsdam.〔 In 1765–66, he accompanied Leopold III, Duke of Anhalt-Dessau, on a trip to Italy. While there, he trained with Giovanni Battista Martini, Pietro Nardini, Gaetano Pugnani, Giuseppe Tartini and G. Benda.〔〔 He also became interested in the viola d'amore, for which he would compose at least nine pieces. In 1766, he returned to Dessau, where he worked as an educator and music organizer. He created a subscription concert series in 1769,〔 and on September 24, 1774, he founded an opera theatre.〔 In 1774, Rust was made court music director and married Henriette Niedhardt, a former pupil, who was a singer, with whom he had eight children.〔 His eldest son died in a drowning accident and his youngest son, Wilhelm Karl, became a well known music instructor.〔 He met Goethe in 1776, who was "deeply impressed" by the composer.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2 May 2013 )〕 His ''Sonata per il Clavicordio all imitazione de Timpani del Salterio e del Liuto'' (1792) was considered interesting in part because of its imitation of the timpani by the tremolo effect. Rust died in Dessau on 28 February 1796, aged 56.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Friedrich Wilhelm Rust」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
