==Later career==
On the return from his first trip to Italy in 1783, Reichardt stopped in [[Vienna]], where he met [[Joseph II, Holy Roman Emperor|Kaiser Joseph II]] ,[[Christoph Willibald Gluck]] and [[Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart]]. Further musical trips to France and England did not produce anticipated success; he therefore returned reluctantly to Berlin. In 1786, he developed close friendships with [[Johann Wolfgang von Goethe]], [[Johann Gottfried Herder]], [[Friedrich Schiller]] and [[Johann Georg Hamann]]. A small collection of his writings is in the hands of his family, specifically, [[Dagmar Reichardt]] (* 1961). During a visit to Augsburg in 1789, he met the composers [[Nannette Streicher]] and [[Anna von Schaden]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Nannette Streicher |url=https://mugi.hfmt-hamburg.de/receive/mugi_person_00000804?lang=en |access-date=2023-04-08 |website=mugi.hfmt-hamburg.de}}</ref>
 
Further attempts to gain new ground in Paris failed, yet he had become zealous with revolutionary ideas. After the appearance of his ''Vertrauten Briefe'' (Intimate Letters) in 1792, he was released in 1794 without pay from his position as Court Kapellmeister for being sympathetic to the [[French Revolution]]. He lived first in [[Hamburg]], where he released the journal ''Frankreich'', but from 1794, he lived in Giebichenstein near [[Halle, Saxony-Anhalt|Halle]]. In 1796, he was pardoned for his support of the revolution and appointed to the post of the director of the saline (salt mine) in Halle. From there, he often traveled to Berlin to lead the premieres of his compositions.
