2 unusual facts about Thomas Stoltzer


Thomas Stoltzer

One personal letter of Stoltzer's is still extant, dated February 23, 1526 and addressed to Duke Albrecht of Prussia in Königsberg; in this letter Stoltzer relates the news of a recently completed psalm setting and intimates that he would like to join Albrecht's court.

Stoltzer may have studied with Heinrich Finck; while no concrete evidence of this association exists, he was at the least intimately familiar with Finck's work since he quotes from Finck's music copiously.
