German composer and teacher. Nothing is known about his youth. In 1785,
he settled in Paris where he published his 'Trois sonates pour le piano
forte et accompagnement de violon ad libitum' (1785) and performed as
keyboardist at the 'Concert Spirituel' with great success. After that,
he was appointed the Queen Marie Antoinette private teacher. Since then
he was devoting himself as a keyboard teacher the rest of his life. That
years in Paris he was highly praised as keyboardist, being comparable
to Daniel Steibelt with whom competed at the Paris salons. As a
composer, he wrote at least five piano concertos, two harp concertos,
chamber and keyboard pieces. After a long career as a musician, he died
in Paris in 1846.
