    Bernhard Joachim Hagen was a German composer, lutenist and violinist who was one of the most important composers for lute in the late 18th century.

    Hagen was employed at the Bayreuth court as both a violinist and lutenist from 1737 until his death in 1787.

    Hagen's style was shaped by Empfindsamkeit and the beginning of the Sturm und Drang period, and he was clearly influenced by Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach.

    Life
    Little is known about his youth, but he obviously grew up in a musical family: his brother Peter
    Albrecht Hagen (also called Peter Albert van Hagen, 1714 - September 12, 1777) studied the
    violin with Francesco Geminiani, learned to play the lute and organ, and was an organist in
    Rotterdam. There are several transcriptions of Geminiani's violin works for lute by J.B. Hagen
    extant.
    The younger Bernhard Joachim Hagen must have learned to play lute and violin early too, for in
    1737 he was already employed as an assistant to Bayreuth violin virtuoso and Kapellmeister Johann
    Pfeiffer; later he was listed officially as a court violinist. He kept this position at the Bayreuth and
    since 1769 the Ansbach court until his death. Adam Falckenhagen and Charles Durant (Carol
    Duranowski), also called to the Bayreuth court by Wilhelmine of Bayreuth, may have further
    trained him in playing the lute.
    In 1745, Hagen married Anna Fikentscher (born in Bayreuth; died May 22, 1789 in Ansbach).
    During 1760/1761 he visited his brother in Rotterdam and there gave five concerts from November
    till March.

    Works
    Hagen was employed at the Bayreuth court as a violinist and as a lutenist, and his virtuoso lute
    performances and his compositions for lute were known and appreciated. He is one of the most
    important composers for lute in the era following Sylvius Leopold Weiss, and far more important
    than his teachers Falckenhagen and Durant. His style is shaped by the Empfindsamkeit and the

    beginning of the Sturm und Drang period. There is a clearly discernible influence of Carl Philipp
    Emmanuel Bach in Hagen's music.
    Through margravine Wilhelmine's efforts, lute music flourished in the 18th century one last time
    before being rediscovered in the 20th century.
    There are 33 known compositions by Bernhard Joachim Hagen found in the Staats- und
    Stadtbibliothek Augsburg:
    12 Sonatas for Lute solo
    6 Trios for Lute, Violin and Violoncello
    2 Lute concerti
    1 Duo for two Lutes
    1 Duo for Lute und Violin
    Many Lute arrangements of compositions by Geminiani, Locatelli, Arne, and others.
    The facsimile editions of Hagen's solo lute sonatas (1983) and chamber works (1984) have been
    published by Joachim Domning for the Roman Trekel Musikverlag.
    There are two excellent CD recording of Hagen's sonatas by the lutenist Robert Barto:
    Joachim Bernhard Hagen, Solo Works for Lute: Five Sonatas, Locatelli Variations (Naxos
    8.554200)
    Bernhard Joachim Hagen, Sonate Liuto solo (Symphonia Sy98164)
    Some of Hagen's works listed in the 1769 Breitkopf catalog (these have no concordances in
    Augsburg manuscripts) are presumed missing.

    Influence
    The lute sonatas of Roman Turovsky-Savchuk (a contemporary lutenist-composer) were written in
    homage to Hagen.
