Franz Xaver Schlecht
(Wemding, c.1730 - Eichstätt, 16 February 1782)

German composer. Following an early education at Salem monastery in Bavaria, he studied law at Salzburg University, intending to enter the Benedictine order. By 1770, however, he was appointed as Kapellmeister at the main church in the town of Eichstätt, where he remained his entire career. His musical works were written in the prevalent church style, with florid instrumental parts and homophonic choruses. These include around 35 Masses, five vespers, three offertories, a Passion, several hymns, a string quartet, and a sonata. His music has been little explored. #ClassicalMusic
