---
German violinist and composer. He received his first lessons as a
choirboy and when he was 12 studied violin in the Baden court. In 1750
he entered the Benedictine monastery in Ettenheimmünster, where he met
and studied with Johann Stamitz. He later joined him in Mannheim and
received further lessons from Leopold Mozart. After completing
theological studies, he was ordained priest in 1759 and later held many
positions in the monastery, including those of choir director (1761-73)
and prior (1781). As a composer, he mainly wrote sacred music, among
them, the collections 'XXXII hymni vespertini' (1764), 'XV offertoria'
(1766), 'Geistliche Arien' (1769) and a Missa de nativitate. In his
later years he was praised as one of the best violinists and church
composers in the Upper Rhine valley.
