Johann Michael Malzat - String quintet no. 1, 2, 3 번

Johann Michael Malzat (1749-1787) was a composer and choirmaster, son of Josef Malzat. He attended the grammar school in Kremsmünster, where he was a chorister and possibly also a cellist (see Weiss). He was subsequently a teacher in the abbeys of Stams in the Tyrol (1778–80) and Lambach in Upper Austria (1781), a member of the church choir in Bozen (now Bolzano) (1780–81), household musician in Schwaz (1784) and finally choirmaster in the university church in Innsbruck (1786–7). His instrumental works in particular enjoyed wide distribution and were advertised by Traeg in Vienna as late as 1799. His extant works include three masses, a Requiem, 13 shorter sacred pieces, an oratorio, a Singspiel, a cantata, three lieder, five symphonies, a Sinfonia concertante with solo violin and oboe, a cello concerto, six string quintets (one ed. W. Senn, Vienna, 1949), four quartets for oboe, flute and strings, three string trios, four sonatas for violin and cello, and a sonata for cello and bass (in A-FK, HE, Imf, CH-E, EN, FF, SGs, D-Bs, HR and elsewhere). Among works advertised by Traeg, but now no longer extant, are two concertos for english horn, presumably written for his brother Ignace Malzat, and four sinfonias concertantes. (Other instrumental works attributed by Traeg simply to ‘Malzat’, and now lost, cannot be identified with any specific member of the family; they include quintets for flute or oboe and strings and sextets for oboe, two horns and strings.)
