Lorenzo Weckbacher
(fl. second half 18th Century)

German or French composer active during the second half of the eighteenth century whose life and career remain unknown. He is primarily known through a 370-page manuscript collection comprising sixteen compositions - including keyboard concertos, orchestral overtures, harpsichord quartets, and quintets - held at the library of the Royal Conservatoire of Antwerp, alongside incomplete quartet violin parts preserved at the Fürst zu Bentheim-Tecklenburgische Musikbibliothek in Rheda, Germany. Although the Antwerp manuscript designates him in French as 'maître de chapelle de Sa Majesté le Roi de Prusse', a title seemingly supported by the title of his orchestral piece 'Ouverture pour le jour de la naissance du Roi de Prusse', no biographical records or documentary evidence exist to confirm his service as Kapellmeister to the Prussian court.
