about
Johann Peter Guzinger , also Johann Petrus Gulzinger (born June 2, 1683 in Tussenhausen; died May 6, 1773 in Eichstätt) was a German composer, chamber musician and violist. Little is known about the life of Johann Peter Guzinger. Various sources show that he was court and chamber musician to the Bishop of Eichstätt between 1726 and 1740 and was therefore a member of the court orchestra. He was particularly well known and appreciated for his virtuoso playing of the viola d'amore , for which he also composed. He dedicated the Concerto grosso in C major to Duke Ludwig Rudolf, Prince of Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel (archived in the Herzog August Bibliothek). It can therefore be assumed that he was also active in this region, at least on the occasion of a concert tour, or that there were connections there. Some of his compositions are still preserved, especially the works for viola d'amore are still performed by baroque ensembles today.
