Austrian organist and composer. Primarily active in Graz, where he served as the city parish organist (Stadtpfarrorganist) starting in 1740. Although his exact dates of birth and death remain unconfirmed, records of his family life suggest he was born before 1710, and his professional trail fades after 1741, though he may have later joined the court of Count Joseph Bernhard Attems at Schloss Dornau. As a composer, he is historically significant for his five harpsichord concertos, early Austrian examples of the genre that adhere to the Vivaldian formal model, and a collection of six partitas. The modest range of the solo parts in his concertos suggests they may have been originally conceived for the organ, marking an important stylistic link in the development of keyboard literature within the regional Baroque tradition.
