Friedrich Schneider is remembered in music for work that changed what came after it.
The record lists Friedrich Schneider as German composer and conductor.
Friedrich Schneider was born at Waltersdorf in 1786. His recorded nationality is Kingdom of Saxony. He trained at Leipzig University.
The concert hall and the public audience were new in this period; music was beginning to be written for buyers rather than employers.
He worked as composer, conductor and pianist.
The instruments recorded are organ and piano.
His work is classed as opera.
What survives in music is rarely what sold best at the time.
That the work came out of Kingdom of Saxony shaped it: musical traditions, training institutions and the reach of a recording industry all differ by country.
Friedrich Schneider died in 1853, aged 67. The recordings and scores remain, which is the only durable form a musical life takes.
