The 17th century Austrian composer and organist Alessandro Poglietti could not complain about favoritisms during his lifetime. Thus, the Austrian Emperor raised him to the peerage, while the Pope made him Knight of the Golden Spur. His end, however, was sad. During the siege of Vienna by the Turks in 1683, Poglietti was murdered by the Tartars, while his vast number of children were taken away.
Pogletti is especially important for his keyboard music. His 12 ricercares form an important link in the 'development' of the instrumental polyphony between Frescobaldi and Bach. No less important is Poglietti's contribution to a very different kind of scholarship, namely the rhetoric, that is, the baroque counterpart of what we would call programatic music. In Poglietti ' s music therefore does not lack imitations of battles, bird sounds, musical instruments, etc .. Much of this can be found in the collection "Il rossignolo". This collection includes a series of variations, in which all kinds of elements from the folk music of various regions are imitated, such as in "Bömisch Dudlsack, Hollandisch Flagolett, Bayrisch Schalmay, Alter Weiber Conduct, Franzosische Baiselements, Pollnischer Sablschertz, Soldaten Schwebelpfeif, Ungarische Geigen, Steyermarckher Horn" ea. "Il rossignolo" can be heard in a performance by Jörg-Andreas Bötticher. This CD also contains two battles: "Toccatina sopra la ribellione di Ungheria" and "Toccata fatta sopra cassedio di Filipsburgo" (HJ) _ musical instruments, etc ..
