Johann Christian Fischer

about

Johann Carl Christian Fischer (1733–1800) was a German composer. Employed as a music copyist and theatre director for the Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin at Ludwigslust, Fischer is now credited with the unique Symphony with Eight Obbligato Timpani, formerly attributed to Johann Wilhelm Hertel, court composer at Schwerin. He spent some time in London, one of the most musical cities of Europe. While there he was active as a performer, composer, and a teacher. Among his students was composer and oboist Charles J. Suck. An etching/aquatint A Sunday concert by Charles Loraine Smith, published 4 June 1782, shows a distinguished musical group gathered round a harpsichord, with Charles Burney among them. Mozart composed a set of Twelve Variations in C on a Menuett of Johann Christian Fischer (K.179 [189a]).
