about
Georg Simon Löhlein (born July 16, 1725 in Neustadt near Coburg; died December 16, 1781 in Danzig ) was a German pianist, violinist, music teacher, conductor and composer. Löhlein probably received his musical training from his father and from the organist in his hometown. According to Mendel's Musikalisches Conversationslexikon from 1878, he was said to have been an excellent pianist and violinist from an early age. In 1742 Löhlein fell into the hands of Prussian recruiters , who recruited him to the Tall Guys because of his height of about 1.90 meters . He only returned home after sixteen years as a soldier and after injuries sustained in various battles. He immediately enrolled at the University of Jena and took over the management of the "Collegium Musicum". From 1763 he worked in Leipzig as a pianist and as a member of the orchestra in the Great Concert. Since he could not make a living from this activity, he gave private lessons. He is said to have been generously paid for a lesson by noble students. In 1768, according to Ernst Ludwig Gerber's historical-biographical encyclopedia of music artists, he founded "a weekly amateur concert, which consisted of his scholars". Löhlein also acted as music engraver himself for his works , which was unusual and was particularly emphasized by contemporary criticism. Despite a certain success that he had in Leipzig, he was looking for a permanent, well-paid position. He found this in 1781 as Kapellmeister at St. Mary's Church in Dan
