German-Dutch oboist, viola da gamba player and composer. He, and at least two other musicians named Riehman (Jan [Johan] Frederick (?-1778) and Johan Daniel (fl. c.1738-1757)), served the house of Orange-Nassau between about 1702 and about 1778. It is unlikely that any of these musicians served Karl, Elector of Hessen-Kassel (1654-1730), as has previously been suggested. Of Riehman's opp.2 and 3 only a single incipit survives. His six op.1 sonatas (Amsterdam, 1710), all of five movements in the order Preludio–Allemanda–Corrente–Sarabanda–Giga, are written in an idiomatic style that shows evidence of both Italian and French influence. Most exhibit thematic resemblances between the Allemanda and Corrente, and some show thematic linking of all the movements reminiscent of the variation suite. The preludes sometimes display the free multi-tempo sonata scheme seen in the preludes of composers such as Kühnel and Schenk. Technically his sonatas are not as difficult as Schenk's, but they do require considerable facility. His Davids Harpzangen is notable as the first Dutch publication to provide figured basses for the complete Genevan psalter and for a rich harmonic sense throughout.
