Austrian composer (1765–1832) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Franz Xaver Kleinheinz (26 June 1765 – 29 January 1832)[1] was an Austrian composer, piano teacher and Kapellmeister.
Born in Nassenbeuren near Mindelheim, Kleinheinz first went to Munich and in 1799 to Vienna, where he met Beethoven and soon became a sought-after piano teacher. His pupils included Giulietta Guicciardi and the sisters Therese Brunsvik and Josephine Brunsvik. From 1805, he took up a second residence in Brno[2] and in August 1810 he was appointed as Kapellmeister in Bratislava.[3] At the beginning of May 1813, it is said that Kleinheinz, "one of the most excellent piano players", had resigned from his post in Pressburg and returned to Vienna.[4] From 1814 to 1824, he worked as a conductor at the Deutsches Theater in Pest.[5][6][7][8]
