Ein Kapitel aus dem Buch Bade- und Kurmusik

Abstract

It is little known that Jewish musicians were also pioneers of spa music. In order to understand this phenomenon, a brief digression into the history of Jewish visitors to the spas, which were considered fashionable in the early modern period, is necessary. Their real attraction was and still is the hot or cold mineral springs described as healing or disease-relieving. Early on, these places developed into meeting places for the European nobility and upper middle classes. Wealthy Jews who also wanted to enjoy themselves there soon found their way there. It is not surprising that such encounters could lead to conflict when you consider the hostility that Jews - rich and poor - were subjected to in everyday life in the early modern period in a Christian majority society in which hatred of Jews was also promoted by the churches. In the 17th and 18th centuries entertainment for the spa guests was provided by Jewish bands which played, for example in Bad Schwalbach, Wiesbaden, Bad Ems, and Schlangenbad. At the beginning of the 19th century, the “era of spa and fountain music performed by minstrels” (Walter Salmen) came to an end. Musical tastes had changed. Dance musicians were no longer in demand, but virtuosos and orchestral musicians who could play a modern repertoire of music at short concerts.
