---
German composer, singer, contrabass player and publisher. Trained at the
Jesuit Gymnasium in Amberg, he composed his first work, a Requiem, in
1778. In 1780 he went for further education in Munich, where he was
attached to a military regiment in 1785. He was able to compose for the
stage during the next several years, and in 1791 he became employed by
the court orchestra as a contrabassist. In 1796 he founded a
lithographic process for notation, which he and publisher Johann André
used under royal privilege in Offenbach. In 1806 he returned to Munich
to become inspector of royal printing. Gleissner worked with André on
the first catalog of the works of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. He himself
was a prolific composer, writing 30 Masses, two Requiems, eight
litanies, three vespers, five offertories, 12 other sacred works, an
oratorio, 12 stage works (ballets and Singspiels), 13 symphonies, four
quartets, 12 Lieder, 12 flute duets, over 60 works for keyboard, and
several other smaller chamber works.
