Johann Georg Lickl

Johann Georg Lickl

Johann Georg Lickl (11 April 1769 – 12 May 1843) was an Austrian composer and piano teacher.

Lickl was born in Korneuburg, and orphaned as a child. He studied under Witzig, who was the organist at the church of Korneuberg. He relocated to Vienna in 1785 and studied under Albrechtsberger and Haydn. Later in the 1780s, he became organist at a Carmelite church in Leopoldstadt. He collaborated with Emanuel Schikaneder on a number of "Singspiele" in the 1790s, working in the "Freihaus-Theater auf der Wieden".

He wrote operas, a wind quintet, three string quartets [cite web|title=Recorded on the Label Hungaroton.|url=http://www.hungaroton.hu/en/node/2476|accessdate=2008-08-26] , and served as a kapellmeister at several churches. From 1807 until his death he was choirmaster at what is now Pécs.

A large portion of his output is sacred music, including masses and requiems.

His son, Karl Georg Lickl (1801–77), was a composer, whose output includes works for piano and for physharmonica, including a transcription of Beethoven's Mass in C major for physharmonica and piano. [cite web|title=Copy of Karl Lickl's Beethoven Transcription in the Henselt Collection
