Almanac
March 14
1681 Georg Philipp Telemann – German composer (d.1767); one of the most prolific composers in history; to date, there is no complete catalogue of his gigantic output.
1727 Johann Gottlieb Goldberg baptized – German composer and harpsichordist (d.1756); famous for lending his name to—and probably the first performer of—J. S. Bach's Goldberg Variations; although Goldberg would only have been 14 at the time Bach wrote the music in 1741, he was already a widely-respected harpsichordist.
1804 Johann Strauss Sr. – Austrian composer (d.1849); composer of the Radetzky March, and head of the musical dynasty that included his sons Johann Jr., Josef and Eduard.
1824 first performance of Franz Schubert’s String Quartet No. 13 ‘Rosamunde’ in Vienna, by the Schuppanzigh Quartet; published the following September, this was the only chamber work of Schubert's published in his lifetime.
1847 premiere of Giuseppe Verdi’s opera Macbeth, in Florence at the Teatro della Pergola; almost 20 years later, revised and expanded in a French version and given in Paris on April 19th 1865.
1885 premiere of Gilbert & Sullivan's The Mikado in London where it ran at the Savoy Theater for 672 performances, the second longest run for any work of musical theater and one of the longest runs of any theater piece up to that time.
2001 first performance of Richard Danielpour’s Cello Concerto No. 2 ‘Through the Ancient Valley’ by the New York Philharmonic, Kurt Masur conducting, with soloist Yo-Yo Ma.
