Jakob Friedrich Kleinknecht
(Ulm, bap. 8 June 1722 - Ansbach, 11 Aug 1794)

Composer and flautist, second son of Johannes Kleinknecht (1676-1751). He studied first with his father and joined his brother Johann Wolfgang Kleinknecht (1715-1786) in the chapel at Bayreuth as flautist in 1743. He shifted his attention to the violin in 1747, became the assistant Kapellmeister in 1748, court composer one year later and Kapellmeister in 1761. When the group moved to Ansbach in 1769, Jakob Friedrich continued as director, and it was there that most of his works were composed. His facility on both the violin and the flute is reflected in the distribution of his works between these two media. Jakob Friedrich's music, which is fluent and often original, warrants more attention and study than it has received. His son Christian Ludwig Kleinknecht (1765-1794) was a violinist and composer. He was trained as a violinist, studied at Leipzig until 1788 and in 1789 was listed as a violinist and chamber virtuoso in the chapel at Ansbach. He apparently composed a flute concerto and a violin sonata. #ClassicalMusic
