Friedrich Wilhelm Kücken

Being a composer Kucken wrote two operas, choral functions, piano parts, instrumental functions and music. His popularity rested upon the acclaim of his music such as for example “Das Madchen von Juda.” The selling point of his music was within qualities such as for example basic melodies, folk configurations, and occasional simple harmonies. As students, Kucken continually used himself you start with chamber music in the home, thoroughbass with Luhrss, piano, violin and flute with Aron and Rettberg, orchestration with Halevy, counterpoint with Birnbach (1832) and Sechter (1841-43), and vocal composing with Bordogni (post 1843). His two operas had been “Die Flucht nach der Schweiz,” and “Der Pratendent.” Kucken preserved several performing positions in Stuttgart between 1851 and his reirement in 1861.
