Magnold in Darmstadt, where he became a member of the court chapel in
1787. He later took courses in theory and composition with Johann

then settled in Berlin and became a member of the royal chapel in 1803.
He founded a series of subscription concerts in 1807 and the
'Musikalische Ubungsakademie zur Bildung der Liebhaber' in 1818. He also
was conductor of the Reval theater (1813-16). He was made music
director of Berlin's royal theater in 1820 and then its Kapellmeister in
1825. He taught at the music school of the royal theater and at the
Prussian Academy of Arts, retiring in 1838. As a composer, his style was
entrusted to all the conventions of the late 18th Century. His daughter
Maschinka Schneider (1815-1882) was a soprano married with the composer
Franz Schubert (1808-1878). His son Louis Schneider (1805-1878) was a
