Juan Oliver y Astorga
(Yecla, Murcia, 1733 - Madrid, 12 February 1830)
Spanish violinist and composer. Son of José Oliver and María Antonia Astorga, he received early musical lessons at Iglesia Vieja in Yecla. He later settled in Valencia before traveling to Naples. In 1760 he went to Frankfurt am Main where he is mentioned as a musician in a concert on 18 April 1765. By 1767 he probably was living in London where he worked under the patronage of Willoughby Bertie, 4th Earl of Abingdon. Also there he published his first works, a set of Six sonates à violon et basse, op.1 (1767), Twelve Italian Songs and Duets for Voice and Harpsichord with Accompagnement for a Guittar, op.2 (1768) and Six Sonatas for Two German Flutes or Two Violins and a Bass, op.3 (1769). In his return to Spain, he assumed a post of violinist to the royal chapel of Madrid in 1776. In 1789 he was appointed conductor of the Teatro de los Caños del Peral in Madrid but Charles IV prevented him from taking up this post, wishing him to remain exclusively in his own service in the royal chapel. As a composer, his instrumental music is in the galant style typical of the period. At the age of 97 he died at his home in Cava Alta in Madrid.
