		Much of Scheidt's better-known music came during his appointment as Kapellmeister: three volumes of instrumental pieces, one collection each of motets and vocal concertos, and the Tabulatura nova, a massive collection of organ music.

		The development of specialization came about as the direct result of foreign influence, and a period of foreign study was a prerequisite for a successful career as Kapellmeister.
		Although in the final decades of the seventeenth century French style had dominated the music at court, by the turn of the eighteenth century Italian music had begun to rise markedly in popularity.
		Perhaps most interesting are the compositions by two contemporary Württemberg Kapellmeister, Theodor Schwartzkopff and Johann Christoph Pez, whose obscurity is due largely to the relative inaccessibility of the Rostock collection in recent years.

		But, since most sources relate that this move took place in 1822, and one would hope that Lewy was in Switzerland for at least part of 1823 when son Carl seems to have been born, the chronology obviously needs some re-examination.
		Moreover, Kreutzer's Concertante, doubtless written especially for the new arrivals, supports the suggestion that the Kapellmeister was indeed instrumental in their engagement and that he had known them earlier from his own travels in Switzerland.
		Born in Landau on December 5, 1795, Hürth was appointed chamber musician to the Grand Duke of Hesse and first bassoonist at the Court Theater in Mainz (probably when the court was re-established in 1816 after the Napoleonic wars) and, in 1818, set out on a tour of the principal cities on the Continent.
