Kuhnau, Johann Christoph, Wer nur<\/a><\/p>\n
\n\n \n\t
Johann Christoph K\u00fchnau (1735 – 1805) was a German composer and conductor. He was born in Volkst\u00e4dt, near Eisleben. He received his musical training early in live from a town musician in Ascherleben. In 1763 he became teacher at the Realschule in Berlin, in 1788 at the Dreifaltigkeitsschule and in 1788 he became Kantor at the Dreifaltigkeitskirche in Berlin.
\nHe was mostly known as editor of a hymnal for part-singing, but he edited contemporary organ music as well. The chorale prelude on “Wer nur den lieben Gott l\u00e4sst walten” comes from his edition “Choral Vorspiele f\u00fcr das Orgel und das Klavier”.
\nIt is undoubtely based on a chorale prelude on the same melody by Johann Philipp Kirnberger: K\u00fchnau adds a right hand part where in Kirnbergers piece the left hand plays solo. And save for a few adaptions in the chorale melody almost all the notes of Kirnberger’s piece are in K\u00fchnau’s piece as well. Perhaps this adaptation was meant as a tribute to Kirnberger, who had high praise for K\u00fchnau’s hymnal.<\/p>\n
