	Johann Joseph Fux - LoveToKnow 1911
		JOHANN JOSEPH FUX (1660-1741), Austrian musician, was born at Hirtenfeld (Styria) in 1660.
		As a proof of the high favour in which he was held by the art-loving Charles VI., it is told that at the coronation of that emperor as king of Bohemia in 1723 an opera, La Constanza e la Fortezza, especially composed by Fux for the occasion, was given at Prague in an open-air theatre.
		Fux at the time was suffering from gout, but the emperor had him carried in a litter all the way from Vienna, and gave him a seat in the imperial box.

		In the Ciaconna in D we find Fux exploring the art of Air-with-Variations in a composition which might be seen as a precursor of Bach's similar works.

		Here's one of those wonderful yet dubious compilations that purport to tell us what "may" be historically correct but can in no way be proven--in this case, what music was in the library of J.S. Bach.
		Bach's "French connection" is represented by works of André Raison (a sturdy if predictable organ mass), Nicolas De Grigny (two sturdy if predictable short organ fugues plus a couple of other pieces), and Jean-Henri d'Anglebert (an elaborate and technically demanding harpsichord suite).
		These pieces show a clear mastery of form and melodic invention that's always engaging and skillfully combined with the texts and instrumental accompaniments.

	On Bach's Art of the Fugue
		Fugue is a process that Bach cared deeply about, and that had an illustrious history preceding him (with notable exponents such as Palestrina, Tallis, Byrd, Buxtehude, Sweelinck, Pachelbel, de Grigny, and Vivaldi, to name a few).
		Many ancient and Baroque theorists such as Johannes Tinctoris and Johann Fux contended that fugue was an adequate human representation of the harmonia mundi (the ancient notion of musical spheres, or a divine music created by the revolutions of the heavenly bodies).
		Further, Bach belonged late in life to Lorenz Mizler’s Society for Musical Sciences, a group that upheld the ancient arts of counterpoint and polyphony just as they were going out of fashion throughout Europe and as gallant music ascended in popularity.
