Joseph Küffner (Kueffner) (31 March 1776 in
Würzburg – 9 September 1856 in Würzburg)[1][2] was a German musician and composer who, among other achievements, contributed significantly to the guitar repertory, including
chamber music.
Life
He was a
violinist with the Würzburg court orchestra,[3][4] and was later, when Würzburg became part of
Bavaria (1802), assigned to take charge of
military music. At this point he became
bandmaster with a Bavarian Army regiment.[3][5]
Music
A quintet of Küffner's for
clarinet and
strings was once attributed to
Carl Maria von Weber,[2] and is still recorded in collections of Weber's music.[6] He composed seven
symphonies and a large number of works for various
chamber music combinations. His output also contains a substantial quantity of music for
classical guitar (some of it being available in modern editions).
