Joseph Lederer

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Joseph Lederer (born January 15, 1733 in Ziemetshausen , † September 22, 1796 in Ulm ) was a south German monastery musician and composer .

Life

Lederer came from the family of the weaver J. Ulrich Lederer from Ziemetshausen. His name was initially Anton, later he was given the monastery name Joseph. He attended the monastery high school of the Augustinian canons' monastery " Zu den Wengen " in Ulm . Then he entered this monastery and worked as music director, organist and theology professor. He created numerous musical dramas for the monastery high school. During the Mozart family's first major trip to Europe, it was very likely that Leopold Mozart and his child prodigies met, as Leopold Mozart was visiting his childhood friend, Canon Peter Obladen, in the Wengen monastery. In 1781 Lederer published Johann Jakob Lotter's piano collection "Apparatus Musicus" in the Augsburg publishing house.
