Karl (Carl) Friedrich Abel 
(Köthen, 22 December 1723 - London, 20 June 1787)

German composer, impresario, and virtuoso viola da gamba player. The son of the gambist at the court of Anhalt- Cöthen and brother of Leopold August Abel, he received his early training from his father. Upon the recommendation of Johann Sebastian Bach, he obtained his first post in the Saxon Kapelle in 1748, but a decade later he immigrated to England to become the chamber composer for Queen Charlotte. On 29 February 1764 he performed his first joint concert with Johann Christian Bach at the Carlisle House on Soho Square. Its success began a collaborative series of 10 to 15 annual subscriptions concerts there and later at Hannover Square known as the Bach-Abel Concerts. Although competition began to weaken their appeal beginning with a series of concerts at the Pantheon in 1774, it was the death of his partner, Bach, in 1782 that caused these popular events to cease. At this time, Abel toured Paris and Germany, briefly staying in Potsdam at the court of Crown Prince Friedrich Wilhelm of Prussia, ultimately returning to London in 1785. He remained active as a performer on an instrument long out of fashion up until his death.

Abel had a reputation as a generous and likeable person, who offered aid in establishing younger musicians. He also had a penchant for living well. As a soloist, he was particularly praised for his sensitive and lyrical playing, particularly in the slow movements. Charles Burney noted that “the most pleasing, yet learned modulations, the richest harmony and the model elegant and polished melody were all expressed with feeling, taste, and science.” He is also known to have played the keyboard and French horn. His 233 works were almost entirely concentrated on instrumental genres; only a couple of arias and a song exist of his vocal compositions. These include 44 sonatas for viola da gamba and keyboard, 42 symphonies, 39 trio sonatas (two violins, two flutes, and violin/cello with keyboard), 28 miscellaneous pieces for viola da gamba, 24 violin sonatas, 12 piano trios, 12 string quartets, 10 flute quartets, seven flute sonatas, six keyboard concertos, three sinfonia concertantes (including one for two clarinets), two flute concertos, two cello concertos, and a number of miscellaneous keyboard works. His music has been cataloged according to WK (or Kn) numbers. #ClassicalMusic
