Joseph Kreutzer
(Aachen, 11 November 1790 - Düsseldorf, 16 June 1840)

German composer, conductor, guitarist and violinist. Little is known about his life. According to his death certificate, he was born in Aachen, the son of Paul Kreutzer, a music teacher there. From around 1805 he lived in Düsseldorf and, alongside August Burgmüller, played an important role in the city's musical life. In several sources he is referred to as the concert master of the theater orchestra. He was probably also the violin teacher of Burgmüller's son Norbert Burgmüller. Kreutzer's works were also performed several times in Düsseldorf, for example a flute concerto (now lost) on March 5, 1822, played by his cousin Bernhard Kreutzer. When Felix Mendelssohn was municipal music director in Düsseldorf from 1833 to 1835, Kreutzer is said to have stirred up anti-Mendelssohn sentiment on various occasions. This is reported in particular by the officer Emil von Webern, who was a friend of Mendelssohn. As a composer, his output mostly consist of chamber music and instructive pieces for guitar, flute and strings. #ClassicalMusic
