Johann Georg Zechner [Cehner, Zehetner]
(Gleisdorf, 9 April 1716 - Stein an der Donau, 7 June 1778)

Austrian composer and organist. Almost nothing is known about his youth until he was documented as organist at the Benedictine abbey of Göttweig in 1736, a post he held until 1746. That year he was appointed choral director of St Veit, Krems an der Donau (1746-1753) while he was studying philosophy and theology. In 1752 he was ordained priest and a year later he was appointed to the charge of the Chapel of All Saints at Stein an der Donau, in a post he held the rest of his life. As a composer, he show the influence of his fellows Johann Joseph Fux and Antonio Caldara, both active in Vienna, but evolving to early Classical style in his later works. Despite he focused on sacred music, among them, masses (the foremost was his Große Orgelmesse in C, 1761), requiems, and many liturgical pieces, he also wrote instrumental music very close to Georg Christoph Wagenseil and Georg Matthias Monn on style terms.
