Georg Abraham Schneider
(Darmstadt, 19 April 1770 - Berlin, 19 January 1839)

German horn player, oboist and composer. He studied with Johann Wilhelm Magnold in Darmstadt, where he became a member of the court chapel in 1787. He later took courses in theory and composition with Johann Gottlieb Portmann. In 1795 he joined the Rheinsberg Court Orchestra, then settled in Berlin and became a member of the royal chapel in 1803. He founded a series of subscription concerts in 1807 and the 'Musikalische Ubungsakademie zur Bildung der Liebhaber' in 1818. He also was conductor of the Reval theater (1813-16). He was made music director of Berlin's royal theater in 1820 and then its Kapellmeister in 1825. He taught at the music school of the royal theater and at the Prussian Academy of Arts, retiring in 1838. As a composer, his style was entrusted to all the conventions of the late 18th Century. His daughter Maschinka Schneider (1815-1882) was a soprano married with the composer Franz Schubert (1808-1878). His son Louis Schneider (1805-1878) was a writer and actor, and privy councillor and tutor to Friedrich Wilhelm IV.
