1and Caligula, in consequence of their passion for music, became depraved in character. These thoughts were discussed in the pamphlets: "Consultatio . . . de cavenda falsamentium intemperatarum medecina" (1696); "Missbrauch der freien Kunst, insonderheit der Musik" (1697), and "Wiederholtes Zeugnis der Wahrheit gegen die verderbte Musik und Schauspiele, Opern," etc. (1698).

5Vogel, (1) Johann Christoph, a gifted but early deceased composer, b. 1756, Nuremberg, d. June 26, 1788, Paris. He studied under Riepel at Ratisbon, went to Paris in 1776, where he became an enthusiastic admirer of Gluck's music, which he imitated. His first opera, La toison d'or, after long delay, was produced at the Grand Opéra in 1786, and excited great hopes for V.'s future. He completed a second, Démophon, but did not live to see it produced. Already in the following winter, the overture was performed at the Loge Olympique, the opera itself in September, 1789, in the opera house. Also La toison d'or was revived under the title Médée à Colchis. Démophon held the boards for some time, and the overture afterwards became part of a favourite ballet, Psyché. It is said that V.'s mode of living led to his early death. The following works of V. appeared in print: 3 orchestral symphonies, 2 concertantes for two horns, and one for oboe and bassoon, 6 quartets for horn and strings, 3 quartets for bassoon and strings, 6 quartets for strings, 6 trios for two violins and bass, 6 clarinet duets, 3 clarinet concertos, a concerto for bassoon, and 6 bassoon duets.
