Fraburgadi.See Tieffenbrucker family. Fracassini, Aloisio Lodovico(b Orvieto, 1733; d Bamberg, 9 Oct 1798). Italian violinist and composer, active in Germany. He studied under Tartini in Padua and under Ferrandini in Munich. In 1752, on Tartini’s recommendation, he became violinist at the court of Adam Friedrich von Seinsheim, later Prince-Bishop of both Bamberg and Würzburg. Fracassini established himself at both towns in the joint court chapel, marrying the principal court singer, Anna Catharina Bayer, in 1762. He became Konzertmeister in 1764, and on the death of Franz Georg Wassmuth in 1766 assumed responsibility for the orchestra and opera. With the accession of Franz Ludwig von Erthal (1779–95) the court musical establishment was divided, and Fracassini settled permanently in Bamberg. In 1792 he wrote a memorandum on the regeneration of the court music, which had declined under Franz Ludwig, and with the accession of Christian Franz von Buseck in 1795 he was able to restore the orchestra, as attested by the accounts of Nicolai, von Murr and Wackenroder. Fracassini’s sacred and secular compositions were highly thought of by his contemporaries, but only a published set of Vesperlieder for two voices and continuo (Würzburg, 1779), three quartets (D-HR), seven sonatas for violin and continuo (US-BEm) and a motet, Sonate montes saltate fontes (D-TEGha), are now extant. Umstatt’s inventory of music composed for the Bamberg court (1762) lists two arias for soprano, one serenade and five symphonies by Fracassini; his azione teatrale Il natal di Giove was destroyed in 1945. Fracassini had a high reputation as a violinist and as the director of orchestral and operatic performances; along with J.L. Schmitt, another Tartini pupil, he was influential in establishing Tartini’s methods in Bamberg and Würzburg. His most important pupil was the Bamberg theatre conductor Anton Dittmaier, whom E.T.A. Hoffmann briefly and unsuccessfully replaced in 1808. BIBLIOGRAPHYObituary, Fränkischer Merkur, xv (1799), 453 J.H.

She was a pupil of Milojević and Slavenski at the Belgrade Music Academy; later she worked as music editor for the Avala film company and for Belgrade radio and television. A composer with a particular sensitivity towards timbre, she successfully assimilated elements of post-serial Klangmusik into her musical style, which is generally lyrical and intimate. Her vocal music, which is highly expressive and refined, is often inspired by folk music and rites, as exemplified by Pesme rastanka (‘Songs of Departure’, 1967) and Zvona (‘Bells’, 1981). WORKS

Framery, Nicolas Etienne(b Rouen, 25 March 1745; d Paris, 26 Nov 1810). French writer, theorist and composer. While still a student in Paris, he wrote a comedy, La nouvelle Eve (1763), to which the censor objected; he then revised it and, as Nanette et Lucas with ariettes by the Chevalier d’Herbain, it had some success at the Comédie-Italienne in 1764. In 1768 his La sorcière par hasard, an opéra comique to his own text, was privately performed; its favourable reception may have led to his appointment in the same year as superintendent of music to the Comte d’Artois. The work was later revived with some success at the Comédie-Italienne, and the score was published. Framery was not encouraged to pursue a career as a composer, however, and devoted himself to criticism, theoretical works and to writing and adapting librettos. From 1764 to 1768 he collaborated on Mathon de la Cour’s Journal de musique. From 1770 to 1771 he edited the Journal de musique historique, théorique, et pratique; his ‘Quelques réflexions sur la musique moderne’, which appeared there in 1770, showed an unusual interest in German music, particularly that of Haydn, and attributed some of Philidor’s qualities to its influence. However, under the influence of the Encyclopedists, he espoused the cause of Italian music in France, opposing Gluck not as a piccinniste but as partisan of Sacchini. He adapted Sacchini’s L’isola d’amore for the French stage (La colonie, 1775), and subsequently tried to persuade the composer to come from London. His adaptation of L’olympiade was intended for the Opéra, but rejected through Gluckist opposition; with spoken verse dialogue, it was given with success at the Comédie-Italienne in 1777 and formed a rallying point for the Italian party before Piccinni’s first French opera (Roland, 1778). Framery adapted other Italian works for various theatres, and (according to Lajarte) assisted with the libretto of Sacchini’s first work for the Opéra, Renaud (1783). In 1784 he won a competition with a libretto, Médée, based on an English tragedy by Glover, which he intended for Sacchini. His own setting of it, after the latter’s death in 1786, was never completed. Framery reviewed performances at the Opéra, Théâtre Feydeau and Concert Spirituel for the Mercure de France, and there published an accusation of plagiarism against Gluck (September 1776) and a eulogy of Sacchini (October 1786). He edited the Calendrier musical universel (1788–9) and translated poems of Ariosto and Tasso, and Azopardi’s Il musico prattico. Framery was appointed editor instead of Suard of the musical part of the Encyclopédie méthodique (i, 1791). He enlisted the help of Ginguené and the Abbé Feytou, but must be held responsible for its erratic quality. His own contributions include a further attack on Gluck and commentaries on reprinted articles of Rousseau (Dictionnaire) and D'Alembert (Encyclopédie), but his work on theory of composition is of limited value. In 1802 he won a prize for his Discours on music and declamation, in which his ideas on prosody receive their fullest expression. Framery’s admiration for Italian music led him to a dogmatic attitude on vocal melody, for which he demanded strict periodicity; hence he criticized Gluck’s arias but allowed merit to his instrumental compositions. An early advocate of a conservatory for Paris, Framery was involved in the organization of the Conservatoire in 1795. In his last years he was correspondent of the Institut, working on the Dictionnaire des Beaux-arts edited by A.-L. Millin; he also established and controlled an agency for the protection of authors’ rights. He left at his death several unpublished musical essays, including a notice on the violinist Gaviniès. A number of airs by him, mostly in instrumental arrangements, were published in contemporary anthologies, and one appeared as a supplement to the Journal de musique (1770).
