German pianist, composer and music editor. Son of the bassoonist and
Hamburg town musician, Johann Gottlieb Schwencke (1744-1823), he became a
proficient pianist at an early age and performed a concerto by his
father in Hamburg in 1779. In 1782 he went to Berlin, where he studied
with Friedrich Wilhelm Marpurg and Johann Philipp Kirnberger. In 1787-78
he studied at the universities of Leipzig and Halle, and in 1788
succeeded C.P.E. Bach as Hamburg Stadtkantor, a post he held for the
rest of his life. He became a contributor to the 'Allgemeine
musikalische Zeitung' in 1799. His compositions include incidental
music, settings of Klopstock’s Vater unser, performed at the poet’s
funeral, and the ode 'Der Frohsinn' (1799), oratorios and cantatas, two
piano concertos, an oboe concerto, three piano sonatas (1789), three
violin sonatas (1792), six fugues for organ and lieder. His sons Johann
Friedrich Schwencke (1792-1852) and Karl Schwencke (1797-1870) were
instrumentists and composers.
