Johann (Johannes, János) Wohlmuth
(Ruszt, 1643 - Ödenburg, 9 January 1724)

Austrian composer, organist, and pedagogue. After attending the Lutheran Gymnasium in Oedenburg (Sopron), he continued his studies in Breslau (Wrocław) in 1663 and subsequently spent three years at the University of Wittenberg. He served as rector and cantor in Rust by 1667 but fled to Regensburg in 1674 due to religious persecution, where he remained as a music teacher until 1685. Upon returning to Oedenburg, he was appointed music director at the Gymnasium and served as organist and Kapellmeister until 1720. His pedagogical career included teaching at primary schools from 1704 and providing private instruction to over 50 pupils, including the sons of Prince Paul Esterházy, until 1721. In 1689, he compiled a virginal book containing 56 pieces for his student Johann Jacob Starck. While Wohlmuth was a central figure in the musical life of Oedenburg, only a small portion of his compositions, primarily sacred works, is extant.
