---
German composer, conductor, guitarist and violinist. Little is known
about his life. According to his death certificate, he was born in
Aachen, the son of Paul Kreutzer, a music teacher there. From around
1805 he lived in Düsseldorf and, alongside August Burgmüller, played an
important role in the city's musical life. In several sources he is
referred to as the concert master of the theater orchestra. He was
probably also the violin teacher of Burgmüller's son Norbert Burgmüller.
Kreutzer's works were also performed several times in Düsseldorf, for
example a flute concerto (now lost) on March 5, 1822, played by his
cousin Bernhard Kreutzer. When Felix Mendelssohn was municipal music
director in Düsseldorf from 1833 to 1835, Kreutzer is said to have
stirred up anti-Mendelssohn sentiment on various occasions. This is
reported in particular by the officer Emil von Webern, who was a friend
of Mendelssohn. As a composer, his output mostly consist of chamber
music and instructive pieces for guitar, flute and strings.
