---
Swedish composer, pianist and publisher. Following early training by a
local church organist, he moved to Stockholm in 1772, where he studied
under Ferdinand Zellbell Jr. Although he was employed through
governmental sinecures, he also functioned as an organist at the St.
Clara Church in 1777 and in 1786 at the St. Jacob Church, in a post he
held until his death. In 1787, the year of the successful performance of
his opera 'Frigga', he was granted a royal privilege to publish music.
As a composer, his works include four operas, two cantatas, over 200
Lieder (most in Swedish), a concerto for the fortepiano, seven violin
sonatas, six piano sonatas/sonatinas, and a book of hymns published in
1832. His music is characterized by a good sense of melody and
simplicity, with orchestrations that range from perfunctory to colorful
with generous use of woodwinds. Apart from individual compositions by
various composers, he also published two journals, the 'Musikaliskt
tidsfördrif' and 'Skaldestycken satte i musik'. During the early part of
the 19th century, he also collected folk dances, which he published in
1814.
