O foco desta tese é a relação comercial entre três pólos principais: Brasil, Portugal e Hamburgo. Em dois momentos distintos, antes da abertura dos portos, quando o Brasil é uma colônia portuguesa e, posteriormente, quando se torna um país autônomo. O fluxo comercial de Hamburgo com o Brasil, através de Portugal, é intenso a partir de 1796, ano em que as balanças de comércio o registram regularmente. Sendo mesmo Hamburgo, ao contrário do que se costuma pensar, o principal importador de efeitos coloniais brasileiros e, por decorrência, seu principal consumidor e distribuidor na Europa do Norte e Oriental. Depois da abertura dos portos, o movimento se retraiu, mas se recuperou nos anos seguintes a paz na Europa após a queda de Napoleão, voltando a ter papel significativo com a proclamação da Independência brasileira em relação a Portugal. Os principais produtos nesse estratégico comércio e importação hamburguesa era, sobretudo, o açúcar, couros e algodão. As fontes para o estudo foram as Balanças Gerais de Comércio de Portugal com seus Domínios e Nações Estrangeiras, as Balanças Comerciais de Hamburgo e os relatórios e as cartas consulares. / The present work focus on the commercial relationship among the tree key poles Brazil, Portugal and Hamburg in two distinct moments: before the opening of the ports, when Brazil was a Portuguese colony, and afterwards, when Brazil became an independent country. The commercial flow from Hamburg to Brazil, through Portugal, is intense from 1796, the year when the trade balance started to register it regularly. In fact, contrary to what one may think, it was Hamburg the main importer of the effects from Brazil colony and therefore its major consumer and distributor along Northern and Oriental Europe. After the opening of the ports, the flow had retread but the peace recovered it on the following years, especially after Napoleons fall when the flow had played a major role with the proclamation of the Brazilian Independence from Portugal. Sugar, leather and cotton were, above all, the principal products in this strategic trade and in the Hamburguese importation. The source of the study was the General Balance of Trade between Portugal and his Colonies and Nations, Hamburgs Balance of Trade, reports and consular letters.

Die Untersuchung über Diedrich Becker versucht einen Brückenschlag zwischen musikhistorischer und soziokultureller Betrachtung eines sogenannten "Kleinmeisters": Diedrich Becker (1623-1679), der als Komponist von Sonaten- und Suitensammlungen eine gewisse musikhistorische Bedeutung hat, dessen Biographie aber etliche Lücken aufweist, wird daher im sozialen wie auch kulturellen Kontext seiner Zeit dargestellt. Eine eingehende Betrachtung der Lebensstationen wie die Zeit als Mitglied der Celler Hofkapelle, aber auch sein Wirken als Ratsmusikant in Hamburg lassen auf zahlreiche Verbindungen zu anderen Künstlern seiner Zeit schließen. Beckers Wirken als Komponist zeigt sich in Sonaten und Suiten für Streicherensembles sowie in geistlichen Werken; vor allem die Überlieferungsgeschichte weist wiederum auf das dichte Beziehungsgeflecht hin, innerhalb dessen sich Becker bewegte. Im Anhang finden sich das Werkverzeichnis, Dokumente zur Biographie Beckers sowie alle erhaltenen Kompositionen. / The study of Diedrich Becker tries to bridge the gap between music history and socio-cultural consideration of a so-called "small master": Diedrich Becker (1623-1679), the composer of sonatas and suites collections has some music historical significance, but whose biography has many gaps, is therefore shown in both social and cultural context of his time. An in-depth look at the life stages as time as a member of the Celle court orchestra, but also his work as a "Ratsmusikant" in Hamburg to make numerous connections to other artists of his time close. Becker's work as a composer is evident in sonatas and suites for string ensembles, as well as sacred music, especially the tradition history again indicates the dense network of relationships within which Becker moved. The appendix contains the catalogue of works, documents of Becker's biography and all conserved compositions.
