Christoph Willibald Gluck, from 1756 Ritter von Gluck (* 2 July 1714 in Erasbach[1] near Berching, Upper Palatinate; † 15 November 1787 in Vienna), was a German composer. He is considered one of the most important opera composers of the second half of the 18th century.
Life
Travels and assignments took him to Italy, England and later Vienna. His work is unique in the way that it does not only show the huge developments which occurred during Gluck’s lifetime; Gluck was one actively seeking change and contributing to it. His work spans exemplary work of the late baroque period but also the most simplistic (but far from simple) melodies that he is most known for today. [1]
