About Albertus Groneman
Albertus Groneman, also Johann Albert Heinrich Groneman (baptized on the 6th December 1711 in Hamm; buried on the 1st June 1778 in The Hague) was a Dutch composer of German descent. Johann Albert Heinrich Groneman came from a Westphalian family and came to the Netherlands around 1730. On the 11th February 1732 he enrolled as a musician at Leiden University. Before 1734, Groneman married Wijntje van Arkel and settled as a composer in The Hague between 1736 and 1742. In 1742 he received the place of bell player on the Grote or St. Jakobskirche, where he was appointed organist a year later. Even before his appointments in The Hague, he had made a name for himself as a violin virtuoso. After his wife died in 1751, he suffered from a nervous disease around the middle of the decade, during which time his valuable collection of instruments was auctioned. A little later, Groneman appeared again as a musician and married a second time in 1758. Gronemann died in 1778 and was born on the 1st. June of the year in the Grote Kerk in The Hague. His flute sonata collections were published by the London publisher Walsh, his trio sonatas were printed in Paris. Excerpts from a flute sonata appeared in the duo collection Recueil de Pièces by the French flutist Michel Blavet. Groneman's sonatas are kept insensitive and gallant style of preclassicalism. The violin sonatas are virtuoso. While the first sonatas are still four-movement, the later sonatas show the more modern three-movement.
