Johann Georg Reinhardt (* 1676 or 1677; † January 6, 1742 in Vienna ) was a German composer and organist .
Life
Johann Georg Reinhardt was raised by his uncle Kilian Reinhardt (1653–1729). Through the mediation of his uncle, who was responsible for the organizational matters of the Vienna court orchestra , Reinhardt became assistant to the organist in the court orchestra in 1701. In 1728 he became the first organist to succeed Georg Reutter the Elder . Reinhardt was very much appreciated and financially supported by Johann Joseph Fux . From 1727 until his death in 1742 Reutter held the position of Kapellmeister at St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna . From 1730 Reinhardt was possibly choir regent at the Wiener Schottenstift . In addition, in 1734 he was given the position of court composer for serenatas and ballets , which ended with his retirement in 1740. Alongside Fux and Antonio Caldara, Reinhardt was one of the most prolific composers of church music in Vienna, some of his works were performed in Dresden or at the court of Meiningen , but also long after his death in Austrian monasteries.
