Mateu Soler i Ramos
(Martorell, c.1720 - Madrid, 1799)

Spanish composer and bassoon player. Brother of Antoni Soler (1729-1783), he was born in Martorell. Nothing is known about his early years. He spent most of his career in Madrid as a bassoon player, first in the monastery of Las Descalzas Reales, then with Manuel Pla playing military music in the court of Carlos III, and after 1780 in the Capilla Real with Juan Oliver. As a composer, the only extant work is a Sonata de Fagotto (1784), which was written as an exam audition for the Capilla Real. The sonata is written in the classic style, not like the ones composed by his famous brother, who was a clavichord player and chapel master in El Escorial. The first sonata movement adopts the form of a simple bi-thematic sonata, while the Andantino follows the form of the binary sonata. The lightest movement is the final Rondo, with an interesting free and easy section in c minore. #ClassicalMusic
