Description
Deutsch: Am Cembalo ist Johann Adam Reincken, zu der Zeit Organist an der Katharinenkirche im seidenen Hausrock und mit einem dunkelhäutiger Pagen in einer weltgewandten Attitüde dargestellt, die seinem sozialen Status eigentlich nicht entsprach. Vermutlich ist er Auftraggeber des Bildes. Die frühere Identifizierung der ihm gegenüber sitzenden Person mit dem Notenblatt als Johann Theile (1646-1724), Kapellmeister an verschiedenen norddeutschen Höfen war und Komponist der ersten in Hamburg aufgeführten Oper, wird in der Forschung mittlerweile abgelehnt. Denkbar ist aber, dass diese Person den Komponisten Johann Philipp Förtsch darstellt. Das Notenblatt hat einen Kanon über den Psalm 133,1: Siehe, wie fein und lieblich ist es, wenn Brüder einträchtig beieinander wohnen, ein unbekanntes Werk, das Bezug nimmt auf die Freundschaft und Zusammenarbeit der Musiker als „gelehrte Musiker“, also nicht nur als technisch geschulte Instrumentisten, sondern als Kenner der geistigen Inhalte der Musik. Auch der Komponist Dieterich Buxtehude des Kanon ist wohl abgebildet, vermutlich ist er der Gambenspieler am linken Bildrand. Das Notenblatt auf dem Knie des Herrn neben der Lautenspielerin, weist auch eine Widmung an Reinken und seinen Freund Dietrich Buxtehude (1637 – 1707) auf.
English: The picture shows Johann Adam Reincken at the harpsichord, presumably Dieterich Buxtehude playing a viol, and an unidentified person singing (possibly Johann Philipp Förtsch, singer and composer at the Hamburg opera). Johann Theile definitely is not pictured on this painting - the recent discovery of a portrait of Theile from a contemporary music print shows a different person. The singer in the painting has often been erroneously identified as Buxtehude. Nowadays it is assumed to be a self-portrait of the painter. See also Musical Company, Johannes Voorhout, 1674
