The activities of F. Hilferding and J. Starzer in Vienna in the middle of the 18th century
Abstract
The article is devoted to the Austrian choreographer Franz Anton Christoph Hilferding (1710–1768), who stood at the origins of the ballet reform and was one of the first who began the transformation of the ballet genre. The work of this master is still rather modestly studied in the research literature (both domestic and foreign), and his figure is in the shadow of the more famous choreographers of the 18th century G. Angiolini and J. Noverre. The author, relying on scattered information and some new data, examines the activities of Hilferding in the 1750s in Vienna, analyzes the peculiarities of cooperation between the choreographer and composer J. Starzer, reveals the characteristic features of the musical and dramatic solutions of ballet performances and determines the role of the choreographer and composer in the run-up to the ballet reforms.
