Austrian music publisher and composer, Franz Anton Hoffmeister, was born in Rottenburg in May 1757. He went to Vienna in 1768 to study law, but after qualifying for this study, he devoted his time to music publishing and composition.
Hoffmeister contributed to many genres of music. For the theatre he wrote operettas, Singspiel and operas, as well as other sacred and secular vocal music. For the orchestra he composed 44 symphonies, 13 of which are lost and 15 published. He was particularly prolific in chamber music, with a quantity of string quartets and flute quartets among many other works, including trios, duo sonatas, and violin or flute sonatas, all very much in the accepted style of his time.
