Ernst Christoph Dressler (23 September 1734 – 6 April 1779)[1] was a German composer, operatic tenor, violinist and music theorist. He began his career as a self taught singer and violinist, but eventually received vocal training from the renowned Italian opera singer Maria Giustina Turcotti. He became a musician at several courts before he moved to the Court Opera in Vienna and finally to Kassel. He is known for a march on which Beethoven based his first published composition.
