Question: Between Franz Schreker and Alessandro Scarlatti, who was born earlier?
Context: Anne Schwanewilms (born 1967, in Gelsenkirchen) is a German lyric soprano.  She studied gardening before training in Cologne as a singer with the German bass Hans Sotin.  She is particularly associated with performing the works of Richard Wagner, Franz Schreker, Alban Berg, and Richard Strauss.  She sang the lead role of Carlotta in Franz Schreker's "Die Gezeichneten" at the Salzburg Festival in 2005, recorded and subsequently published on DVD by Opus Arte. Baroque music ( or ) is a style of Western art music composed from approximately 1600 to 1750.  This era followed the Renaissance music era, and was followed in turn by the Classical era.  Baroque music forms a major portion of the "classical music" canon, being nowadays widely studied, performed, and listened to.  Key composers of the Baroque era include Johann Sebastian Bach, Antonio Vivaldi, George Frideric Handel, Claudio Monteverdi, Domenico Scarlatti, Alessandro Scarlatti, Henry Purcell, Georg Philipp Telemann, Jean-Baptiste Lully, Jean-Philippe Rameau, Marc-Antoine Charpentier, Arcangelo Corelli, Tomaso Albinoni, François Couperin, Giuseppe Tartini, Heinrich Schütz, Giovanni Battista Pergolesi, Dieterich Buxtehude, and Johann Pachelbel. Giuseppe Domenico Scarlatti (Naples, 26 October 1685 Madrid, 23 July 1757) was an Italian composer who spent much of his life in the service of the Portuguese and Spanish royal families.  He is classified primarily as a Baroque composer chronologically, although his music was influential in the development of the Classical style and he was one of the few Baroque composers to transition into the classical period.  Like his renowned father Alessandro Scarlatti, he composed in a variety of musical forms, although today he is known mainly for his 555 keyboard sonatas. Griselda is an opera seria in three acts by the Italian composer Alessandro Scarlatti, the last of Scarlatti’s operas to survive completely today.  The libretto is by Apostolo Zeno, with revisions by an anonymous author.  Zeno wrote his work in 1701 and it had already been set by Pollarolo and Antonio Maria Bononcini (Albinoni, Giovanni Bononcini and Vivaldi would later produce versions).  It is based on the story of Patient Griselda from Boccaccio's "Decameron".  Scarlatti's opera was first performed at the Teatro Capranica, Rome in January, 1721 with an all-male cast (five castratos and a tenor). Pietro Alessandro Gaspare Scarlatti (2 May 1660 – 22 October 1725) was an Italian Baroque composer, especially famous for his operas and chamber cantatas.  He is considered the founder of the Neapolitan school of opera.  He was the father of two other composers, Domenico Scarlatti and Pietro Filippo Scarlatti. L'honestà negli amori is a dramma per musica in 3 acts by composer Alessandro Scarlatti.  Written in 1679-1680 when Scarlatti was 19 years old, it was his second opera.  The opera uses an Italian language libretto that was written by either D F Bernini or Domenico Filippo Contini.  The work premiered at the Teatro di Palazzo Bernini in Rome on 3 February 1680.  The opera was performed again in 1682 in Acquaviva delle Fonti at the Palazzo De Mari with "Acquaviva laureata" a serenata composed by Giovanni Cesare Netti. Robert vom Scheidt (16 April 1879, Bremen - 10 April 1964) was a German operatic baritone.  He created roles in several world premieres, including Wolf in Franz Schreker's "Das Spielwerk und die Prinzessin" (1913), Vitellozzo Tamare/Andrea in Schreker's "Die Gezeichneten" (1918), Baliv in Schreker's "Der Schatzgräber" (1920), and Rabbi Leone in Eugène d'Albert's "Der Golem" (1926). Francesco Scarlatti (5 December 1666 – c. 1741) was an Italian Baroque composer and musician and the younger brother of the better known Alessandro Scarlatti. Il Pompeo is a dramma per musica in three acts by composer Alessandro Scarlatti.  Written in 1682 when Scarlatti was 22 years old, it was his fourth opera and first dramatic work on a serious and grand subject.  The opera uses an Italian language libretto by Nicolò Minato which had previously been used by Francesco Cavalli for his 1666 opera "Pompeo Magno".  The work premiered at the Teatro di Palazzo Colonna in Rome on 25 January 1683. Franz Schreker (originally "Schrecker"; 23 March 1878, Monaco – 21 March 1934, Berlin) was an Austrian composer, conductor, teacher and administrator.  Primarily a composer of operas, Schreker developed a style characterized by aesthetic plurality (a mixture of Romanticism, Naturalism, Symbolism, Impressionism, Expressionism and Neue Sachlichkeit), timbral experimentation, strategies of extended tonality and conception of total music theatre into the narrative of 20th-century music.
