One seeks the name of Johann Carl Eschmann (b. in Winterthur on 12 April 1826, d. in Zurich on 17 October 1882) in most of the major music encyclopaedias in vain. Neither in the New Grove, nor in Die Musik in Geschichte und Gegenwart, nor even in the Swiss Musician’s Encyclopaedia is he to be found; only in Hugo Riemann's Musiklexikon is he mentioned. In all the great libraries of the world – be they in London, Washington or Munich – one finds in total no more than a handful of his works. And yet, as even a perfunctory glance at his music will suffice to prove, he was a highly talented composer from the school of Mendelssohn and Schumann. Thanks to his descendants’ donation of his musical estate to the Zentralbibliothek Zürich (Zurich Central Library) in 1997, his complete oeuvre is now accessible to the general public for the first time. |
