Dutch pianist, organist, teacher and composer of German birth. He
received his early music training from his father and elder brother. In
1791 he settled in Amsterdam as a pianist, flutist and teacher, and
later was organist of the United Baptist Church (1823-46). He fastly
became one the foremost composers active in Amsterdam, being on several
committees, including the music faculty of the Koninklijk Nederlandsch
Instituut voor Wetenschappen, Letteren en Schoone Kunsten (1808-47), and
the Maatschappij tot Bevordering der Toonkunst (1829-41). As a
composer, he was mainly known by his 'Wien Neerlands bloed door d'aderen
vloeit' (1815), the semi-official Dutch hymn of the 19th century. He
also wrote three symphonies, several symphonies concertantes and
concertos, overtures, chamber music, violin and flute sonatas, and
keyboard pieces as well as secular songs and the sacred cantata
'Zahlreiche weitere Gelegenheits' (1814). His style was mostly inherited
by the 18th Century composers with some early Romantic traits.
