When his father died in 1704, young Gottlieb went to Vienna, where his brother was working as a chamber musician at the royal court. In 1717, Karl the Sixth appointed him “Imperial Court and Chamber Organist”, a very prestigious position indeed! Gottlieb was a pupil of Johann Joseph Fux, one of the most famous composers of the time, whose treatise on counterpoint is still used today. Muffat became an excellent composer, most especially of keyboard works (organ as well as harpsichord). In 1739 he published his “Componimenti Musicali”, a collection of six suites and a fine set of variations for harpsichord. These works, though unfortunately still largely neglected today, display an incredible richness of imagination, as well as supreme compositional skill. This recording features the first work in this collection, the magnificent Suite in C Major.
