Joseph Anton Xaver Auffmann [Aufmann, Auffeman]
(1720 - Pruntrut?, 1778)

German composer and organist. Nothing is known about his early life. Shortly before 1747 he succeeded Franz Xaver Richter as Kapellmeister to the Prince-Abbot of Kempten-Allgäu, holding the post until 1756. He published 'Triplex concentus organicus, seu III. concerti organici a octo instrumentis' as his op.1 (Augsburg, 1754). On leaving Kempten he worked for a time in Straubing, where he composed the incidental music for two plays, 'Hirlanda' (1756) and 'Pompejus Magnus' (only text material is extant). The survival of several works – an organ concerto in F, organ preludes and a concerto in D – at Donaueschingen suggests that he held a post at the court there. In 1773, when Auffmann was organist and composer to the Bishop of Pruntrut, Switzerland, he dedicated two symphonies to the Zürich Musiksaalgesellschaft.
