Uhde, Johann Otto(b Insterburg, East Prussia, 12 May 1725; d Berlin, 20 Dec 1766). German composer and violinist. From the age of eight he was an apt student of the violin, and at 14, after his father had become a high court councillor in Berlin, he became a favoured soloist at the musical soirées of the minister von Happe. In Berlin he studied the violin with the Brunswick orchestra leader Simonetti, and keyboard and composition with Christoph Schaffrath. As an adult, inspired by the Berlin Opera, he became a good solo singer. In 1743 he entered the university in Frankfurt an der Oder as a student of law, and from 1746 until his death he carried on a distinguished legal career in Berlin. Uhde was one of the most talented among the large and influential number of mid-18th-century German amateurs of music. Like such amateurs as the lawyer Krause and the poet Gerstenberg, he helped to develop a new attitude towards the lied as a form of poetical expression; unlike them, he showed considerable versatility as a composer. According to Hiller, several of Uhde's compositions were published anonymously in Berlin; this probably refers to anthologies such as the Musikalisches Mancherley. His musical estate is now in Harvard University Library, Cambridge, Massachusetts. WORKS

Austrian composer. A pupil of Franz Schmidt at the Vienna Music Academy, he received the diploma in composition (1932) with honours. He subsequently secured a position as Kappelmeister of the Swiss Festspielmusik in Zürich, composing scores for a variety of cultural and industrial films. He returned to Vienna in 1938 and in 1940 was drafted into the Austrian Army. From 1940 to 1942 he commanded a French prison camp in Neumarkt. He joined the faculty of the Vienna Music Academy in 1945, where he taught theory, orchestration and composition until his retirement in 1980. He was the recipient of the Vienna Schubert Prize (1943), the Austrian State Prize (1960), the Vienna Music Prize (1961), the Viennese Gold Medal of Honour (1969) and the Austrian Badge of Honour for Service and Arts (1980). He also served as the president of the Austrian Gesellschaft der Autoren, Komponisten und Musikverleger (1970) and the Künstler-Union (1976). Synthesizing elements from neo-classicism, atonality, serialism and traditional tonal and contrapuntal idioms, Uhl's style combines technical sophistication and musical charm. The wit and humour, rhythmic inventiveness, thematic development and advanced harmonic language of his works give his music a vitality that is at once engaging and appealing. WORKS(selective list)
