Johann Kaspar Mertz<\/h2>\n

Biography<\/h3>\n

Johann Kaspar Mertz (1806 \u2013 1856) was a guitarist and composer from the Austro-Hungarian Empire.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Mertz was active in Vienna, nearly a generation after the great Mauro Giuliani was there. He was a virtuoso performer on the instrument and toured as far east as Russia. In 1846 Mertz was diagnosed with neuralgia and nearly died from an overdose of strychnine, which was prescribed to treat his nerve pain.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mertz\u2019s most important works are <\/span>Bardenkl\u00e4nge<\/span><\/i> Op. 13, written in 1847, <\/span>Elegie<\/span><\/i>, and <\/span>Fantasie Hongroise<\/span><\/i> (one of the <\/span>Trois Morceaux<\/span><\/i> Op. 65, first published in 1857).\u00a0 Especially in the Bardenklange, Mertz adopts a piano-influenced style borrowed from the likes of Mendelssohn, Schubert, and Schumann. Mertz also famously arranged six of Schubert\u2019s songs for solo guitar in this same style (<\/span>6 Schubert\u2019sche Lieder<\/span><\/i>).<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
