Johann (Giovanno) Nepomuk Fuchs
(29 June 1766 - Eisenstadt, 29 October 1839)

Austrian composer and conductor. He was a pupil of Joseph Haydn and from 1784 worked first as a violinist in the Esterházy chapel, then as a music teacher in the princely family and finally advanced to vice-director and, after Haydn's death in 1809, to court conductor. He worked in this capacity until his death. Fuchs composed instrumental works and chamber music, operas, but he mainly was praised as a sacred music composer. He was considered one of the most important composers of church music of his time. His works include 28 masses (among them the Missa Solenni in E dur), 51 offertories and graduals, 31 litanies and Vespers, 62 Salve Regina, 20 operas (among them Der Feldtrompeter), two overtures, three symphonies, serenatas, a bassoon concerto (1802) and 15 quartets for male voices. Fuchs must not be confused with the Austrian composer and conductor Johann Nepomuk Fuchs (1842-1899) of the same name. #ClassicalMusic
