about
Johann Friedrich Anton Fleischmann (19 July 1766 – 30 November 1798) was a German composer. Born at Marktheidenfeld, Fleischmann studied at Mannheim with Ignaz Holzbauer and Georg Joseph Vogler before going to the University of Würzburg. He then became private secretary and tutor to the Regierungs-präsident at Regensburg in 1786, before going on to be cabinet secretary to Georg I, Duke of Saxe-Meiningen. In 1792, he married at Themar Johanna Christiane Louise von Schulthes (1771–1856, daughter of Johann Adolf von Schultes). They had several children. He composed orchestral and chamber works, songs and singspiele. His main work was the singspiel Die Geisterinsel after Shakespeare's The Tempest, that premiered in 1798 in Weimar. According to Goretzki/Krickenberg, the song "Schlafe mein Prinzchen Schlaf ein", often attributed to Mozart (KV 350) or Bernhard Flies, was composed by Fleischmann. He died in Meiningen.
