Georg-Friedrich Fuchs
(Mainz, 3 December 1752 - Paris, 9 October 1821)

French composer and clarinettist of German birth. After learning to play the clarinet, bassoon and horn, he studied composition with Haydn and Christian Cannabich. He played in several German military bands and became the band-leader at Zweibrücken. In 1784 he moved to Paris and in 1793 became a musician of the highest rank in the Garde Nationale. He taught solfège at the Paris Conservatoire from its opening in 1795, but was relieved of this post during the reform of 1800. He spent the rest of his life working for various Parisian publishers (including Imbault, Naderman and Sieber), arranging all sorts of compositions for diverse combinations of instruments. His own works include pieces for military band, fanfares, a few orchestral works, and numerous chamber works, most of them involving a clarinet. His arrangements reveal considerable craftsmanship. #ClassicalMusic
