  Johann Fux - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Johann Joseph Fux (1660 – February 13, 1741) was an Austrian composer, music theorist and pedagogue of the late Baroque era.
Fux was born to a peasant family in Hirtenfeld in Styria.
Fux's work repeated some of Diruta's, possibly coincidentally, since he is not known to have had a copy: in any event, Fux presented the idea with a clarity and focus which made it famous as a teaching method.

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.
Fux died at Vienna on the I3th of February 1741.
As a contrapuntist and musical scholar generally, Fux was unsurpassed by any of his contemporaries, and his great theoretical work, the Gradus ad Parnassum, long remained by far the most thorough treatment of counterpoint and its various developments.

 Johann Joseph Fux Biography / Biography of Johann Joseph Fux Biography
Johann Joseph Fux was born in Hirtenfeld, Styria.
During Fux's tenure as kapellmeister the style at court was known for its so-called luxuriant counterpoint, even in such a predominantly melodic form as opera.
Fux addresses himself to the details of writing in the learned style, which took as its supposed point of departure the contrapuntal writing of Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina.

 Johann Joseph Fux: a concise biography
Johann Joseph Fux (1660-1741) is remembered less for his music than for his famous textbook on counterpoint, the Gradus ad Parnassum, Yet his music is well worth remembering for its own sake; it was not for nothing that the Emperor Leopold I made Fux his court-composer and music-director.
Fux filled the post with distinction, composing and directing many operas and oratorios, as well as dozens of smaller pieces.
In 1725 Fux published his famous Gradus ad Parnassum, a textbook from which most of the composers of the next generation learnt their counterpoint - indeed Bach himself had a copy in his library.

The music of Johann Joseph Fux has never sounded as fine as it does on this new CPO disc of sacred works.
The three Fux Sonatas (K320, K376, and K396) are well placed on the program, and Fux imparts an attractive blend of lyricism and austerity to his music.
In conclusion, the music of Fux is not essential listening, but the new CPO disc is a marvel of engineering with performances that are entirely top-rate including the sublime contributions from the five vocal soloists.
