His proficiency on the violin was rewarded with a position at the court of Mannheim around 1741. Educated by Jesuits in Jihlava, and at Prague University, his early ambitions were toward performance, not composition. Johann Stamitz was born in Německý Brod in 1717 and died in Mannheim in 1757. When Holzbauer arrived, he quickly earned the Kapellmeister position, unseating another significant Mannheim composer: Johann Stamitz. Ignaz Holzbauer (1711-1783) joined six years later, after a successful staging of his opera Il figlio delle selve at the Elector’s home at Schwetzingen. He wrote symphonies and liturgical music, but is best remembered for his contributions to developing the string quartet. Richter had developed his craft in Vienna, Stuttgart, Ettal, and Kempten before joining Mannheim as a bass. In 1746 or 1747, Karl Theodor hired Franz Xaver Richter (1709-1789). In 1754, cellists Innocenz Danzi (1730-1798) and Anton Fils (1733-1760) were added, and in 1758 or 1759 the clarinetist Johann Michael Quallenberg (c.1726-1786) was engaged by the orchestra.5 In 1747, flutist Johann Baptist Wendling (1723-1797), oboist Friedrich Ramm (1744-c.1808), and the bassoonist Georg Wenzel Ritter (1748-1808) joined the court. Karl Theodor persuaded several eminent performers to join the Mannheim orchestra. Compositional ideas that may have germinated in Mannheim, including the four movement symphony, were introduced to the much larger French audience through these cultural exchanges.4 Mannheim composers could also benefit financially from the music publishing industry in Paris. The relationship between Mannheim and Paris was particularly productive for both sides. Several musicians from Mannheim received tuition elsewhere in Europe, including study tours in Italy for Christian Cannabich (1731-1798) and Georg Joseph Vogler (1749-1814).3 Many performers also embarked on concert tours in other major cities. Some became permanent fixtures in the court orchestra, others stayed only briefly before leaving for other court positions. The size and power of the Mannheim court attracted many talented musicians. By 1778, the year that he left Mannheim for Munich, the number was ninety.2
By 1747, Karl Theodor had expanded the roster of musicians at the court to sixty-one. Mannheim continued to flourish under the young Elector. The centerpiece of Mannheim musical life was the opera house, designed by Alessandro Galli-Bibiena (1686-1748) and completed in 1742.1 When Karl Philipp died shortly after the opera house was completed, he was succeeded by his eighteen-year-old nephew, Karl Theodor (1724-1799). A patron of the arts and sciences, Karl Philipp leveraged his wealth and influence to grow Mannheim into one of Europe’s finest musical courts. In 1716, Karl Philipp (1661-1742) became Elector Palatine of Mannheim.
