Johann Georg Linike [Lienike, Linecke, Linicke, Linigke, Lünicke]
(c.1680 - Hamburg, 7 April 1762)

German composer and violinist. He came from a family of musicians. From 1696 he was active in Berlin, where he was student of Johann Theile. Also there, he was second violinist in the court chapel at Berlin by 1710. He visited London in 1721 and remained at least until winter 1724-25. After 1725 he became the first violinist in the opera orchestra at Hamburg under the direction of Reinhard Keiser. During the season 1725-1726, he participated in performances of operas by George Frideric Handel under the direction of Georg Philipp Telemann. In August 1728, he became the ducal Kapellmeister in Mecklenburg-Strelitz. There, he led the orchestra, which comprised at least 14 musicians, and was also responsible for developing a music library. In 1742, Johann Christian Hertel assumed direction of the orchestra, and Linike became the court keyboardist. In 1752, the orchestra was disbanded, and it was not until 1761 that he received a pension. As a composer, he wrote the cantata 'Quando sperasti', four concertos and several chamber pieces. His works show relatively conservative Baroque traits in the prevalence of imitative entries at the beginning of movements, a pervasive two-part texture, and a tendency towards consistent motivic extension within individual movements. His brother Christian Bernhard Linike (1673-1751) was a cellist and composer, active in Berlin and Cöthen.
