Autor: Alexander Maasmann (fl.1700-1715) Obra: Suite de clavecin (1714) Intèrprets: Fernando de Luca (cembalo) Pintura: Jan Davidsz. de Heem +••.••(...)) - Stilleven met boeken / Alexander Maasmann was a Harpsichordist, Organist and composer active in Eastern Prussia during the baroque era. Almost nothing is known about his life, not even his date of birth or death. In 1715, his suite in a minor was published by Hare & Walsh in London titled:"A Compleat Suite of Lessons for the Harpsicord, as Overture, Allemand, Saraband, Corant, Gavott, Chacoon, Jigg & Minuett." It is certain that he did not do much travelling, however he was known throughout England and France. Around the year 1700 he was the Organist at the Königsberg Cathedral on the Island of Kneiphof.
1) Overture – Largo, Vivace: 00:00 2) Allmanda: 4:27 3) Sarabanda: 8:37 4) Corrente: 11:46 5) Gavotta: 15:04 6) Ciaccona: 16:47 7) Giga:19:29 8) Minuet: 22:32 Although we do not know when Alexander Maasmann was born, nor when he died, we do know that he published the present suite in 1715. It is the only work of his that survives, which is a real pity, considering the fact that it is quite good. The title page presents it as “A Compleat Suite of Lessons for the Harpsichord as Overture. Allemand. Saraband. Corant, Gavott. Chacoon. Jigg and Minuett”. Note the unusual spellings, and also punctuation – periods instead of commas to separate the items listed. Interesting is that the same names of movements, when placed above each individual work, often is spelled differently from the title page! Maasmann was from eastern Prussia, but it would not be unreasonable to assume that he (like many musicians of the day) had moved to London, considering the fact that it was there that he published this fine suite.
