Franz (Francesco) Johannes Gleissner [Gleisner, Glausner, Pleisner]
(Neustadt, 6 April 1759 - Munich, 18 September 1818)

German composer, singer, contrabass player and publisher. Trained at the Jesuit Gymnasium in Amberg, he composed his first work, a Requiem, in 1778. In 1780 he went for further education in Munich, where he was attached to a military regiment in 1785. He was able to compose for the stage during the next several years, and in 1791 he became employed by the court orchestra as a contrabassist. In 1796 he founded a lithographic process for notation, which he and publisher Johann André used under royal privilege in Offenbach. In 1806 he returned to Munich to become inspector of royal printing. Gleissner worked with André on the first catalog of the works of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. He himself was a prolific composer, writing 30 Masses, two Requiems, eight litanies, three vespers, five offertories, 12 other sacred works, an oratorio, 12 stage works (ballets and Singspiels), 13 symphonies, four quartets, 12 Lieder, 12 flute duets, over 60 works for keyboard, and several other smaller chamber works.
