Johann Friedrich Daube (1730 â 19 September 1797) was a German musician and music theorist.
Daube was born in Hesse, and his early career was as a chamber musician at Stuttgart in the court orchestra of Württemberg. From about 1760 he was councillor and secretary of the Augsburg Academy of Fine Arts and Science; he later lived in Vienna, where he died in 1797.
Works
Daube published the following:
- Generalbass in drei Akkorden ("Basso continuo in three chords"; published in Leipzig, 1756). "Founded on the rules of the old and new authors, together with a lesson based on this, to get from each key through two middle chords into one of the other 23 keys."
- Der musikalische Dilettant (Vienna, 1773). "A treatise and composition on the newer and older kinds of fugal settings."
- Anleitung zum Selbstunterricht in der musikalischen Composition beide für die Instrumental- als Vokalmusik ("Instructions for teaching oneself musical composition, both for instrumental and vocal music"; Vienna, 1798).
One composition by Daube is known to have been published: Sechs Lautensonaten im modernen Geschmack, Op. 1 ("Six lute sonatas in the modern style"), dating from his time in Stuttgart and published in Nuremberg.
